PLANNING YOUR PROJECT

Research Data Management

Research Data Plan The University of Hertfordshire and many funding bodies want assurance that you have systems and protocols in place to protect your data during the working, sharing, and preserving stages of your project. They require a Research Data Management Plan. Sometimes this is incorporated into the electronic grant application process e.g. Je-system.

Others, like UH require you to complete a DMPonline Template. https://dmponline.dcc.ac.uk/ Planning Research Data Management

.

These templates are designed to make researchers think about our projects and how to manage the data throughout the whole project life cycle.

Research Data Management

Research Data Plan Collection of new and existing data The DMP covers the whole project lifecycle.

Preservation and reuse The plan is divided into 6 sections, which cover the lifecycle but are divided into aspects of the project, not chronological steps.

Activity

What happens to your data during a project?

The where, when, how, what, and why of your data. Spend a couple of minutes thinking about the choices you need to make about your data, throughout your project.

Then we’ll combine your ideas and compare them to the DMP.
