- Basic Module
Good planning is half the battle! Whether it’s to meet the requirements of research funding bodies or simply to better structure your own working methods, a well-designed data management plan is an integral part of any modern research project. It helps you to consider data types, data processing, storage, data publication, legal issues and other key questions relating to research organisation at an early stage. In this module, you will learn how to create an individual data management plan (DMP) for your research project under guidance. Using tried-and-tested sample plans, you will gain an insight into what elements a data management plan should contain and how you can use the digital DMP tool ‘RDMO’ to write it in a structured and customisable way.
Participants will learn about the importance and usefulness of an adequate data management plan. Examples will be used to explain the advantages of DMPs, even independently of the requirements of funding bodies. Tools will also be presented.
