How to Create a Data Management Plan for your Research Project

Tuesday December 4, 10.15-12.00 (LUX:B339) Are you in the middle of writing your research application? Do have any questions on how to prepare your data management plan? A data management plan (DMP) helps you manage your data, in terms of organisation, storage and preservation. We give an introduction to the details that usually need to be included in a DMP, and look at some handy tools and links to useful resources. There will be plenty of time to discuss your DMP questions. Please bring your DMP or take this opportunity to start your draft! Taking the time to write a good DMP gives you an opportunity to think through how to organise your data and what this means in terms of time and money. Attaching a DMP to your research application shows that you have given thought to how you will manage your data, and can answer questions such as:

• What kind of data will you collect or create?
• Are there ethical issues that need consideration?
• Which data should be retained, shared, and/or preserved?

Increasingly, funders require a DMP as part of the application for research funding and it may be an advantage to already be familiar with how to prepare one. More on Data Management Plans and a checklist can be found on our web pages on research data management.

The session is available for employees at the HT Faculties. Please register your interest to forskningsstodhtbibl.luse by November 27. You are welcome to get in touch with questions in advance!
