Manchester University's Data Management Planning Guidance
What is this about?
This Web page provides practical guidance for researchers on the creation of a Data Management Plan (DMP) that complies with institutional, funding agencies' and national requirements.
Why is this important?
The DMP is created in the planning phase of a research project, and outlines how the (prospective) researcher will create, maintain, protect and store data in an ethical and secure manner, both during and after the project. Thus, it is important to be aware of the standards for good data management. The University also provides links to data management support staff who could optimize researchers' DMPs.
For whom is this important?
What are the best practices?
- Check University RDM Policy and funder requirements
- Create and maintain a data management plan
- Address data protection and ethics
- Consider intellectual property and licensing
- Gather together all eligible costs
