For every research project there are associated data.

Whether you are working with images, text corpora, numerical measurements, or survey results, your research can benefit from sound research data management practices and plans. Documenting how you will manage, describe, and analyze your data, as well as how you plan to share and preserve it benefits you, your research, and the larger scholarly enterprise.

Additionally, both public and private funders as well as publishers across disciplines now have data management plan and data sharing requirements associated with grant awards and publication. Meeting these expectations for data storage, preservation, and sharing takes a little time and effort up front, and these practices are not necessarily intuitive.

If you’re required to submit a data management plan (DMP) to a funder, or you’re looking to better manage your data and aren’t sure where to start or what to include, then this session is for you.

Our speakers will introduce research data management best practices, identify the components of a good data management plan, and share local resources to help you meet your research data management needs.
