As the brilliant Val said in Tremors, “we plan ahead, that way we don’t do anything right now.” Planning ahead is never a bad thing! Taking the time to plan out the details of managing your project’s research data is also never a bad thing, and is definitely never a waste of time.
Data Management Plans, or DMPs, are documents that lay out the who, what, where, when, why, and how regarding your project’s research data. DMPs help researchers think through all aspects of research data management before the data is actually collected. DMPs are intended to be living documents that can be updated or modified at any point within your research project’s lifecycle. While creating a DMP may seem like a tedious, administrative task, it’s not!
This workshop will walk attendees through the creation of a DMP using the DMP Assistant, which is a free, Canadian-based online tool that is simple and easy to use. We’ll also talk briefly about the Tri-Agency RDM Policy and how it’s related to DMPs.
