Most funding agencies or other research supporters require a data management plan. If they fund your research, the data from that research must be FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Data Curation Specialist Dr. Xuan Zhou will explain how having a plan in place for storing, describing, and managing your data is important in every research. We will explore the basic principles of research data management, data management planning tools, support and guidance that is available to academic researchers, and how to use the DMPTool to develop a data management plan, and maintain it through the course of your research.
