Managing your research data: Introduction to data management plans
Writing a data management plan (DMP) is useful for researchers in all disciplines. Research data is produced by most projects, and can be anything: interview recordings, sensor data, economic models and more. A DMP covers how data will be collected, organised, managed, stored, secured, backed-up, preserved, and where applicable, shared. Writing a DMP will help you to anticipate any challenges for working with your data and make the research process much smoother.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the workshop you will be able to:
- Describe what a data management plan is and explain the benefits of writing one
- Identify the core elements of a DMP
- Use DMPOnline to locate suitable templates and guidance to begin a DMP
- Outline a DMP for your own research project
Target audience
Postgraduate researchers at all stages and from all disciplines, and ECRs from all disciplines, broadly encompassing research assistants, postdoctoral researchers and research fellows at grades 6-8.
