How to plan ahead for managing research data

This webinar is for PhD students, researchers, and research support staff who create or collect research data during their project and may be required to write, review or meet commitments of existing data management plan (DMP).

The University and most funding bodies now require researchers who collect data of some sort as part of their work, to write a data management plan (DMP). Plans typically state what data will be created and how, where will it be stored and backed up during the active research phase, and how will it be shared and preserved beyond the lifetime of the project, noting what is appropriate given the nature of the data and any restrictions that may need to be applied.
