Data Management Planning

If you’re a researcher, chances are you’ll have data. It could be stats, instrument data, interviews, images, video... pretty much anything. BUT – have you thought about how you’ll organise it for easy retrieval and use? Do you know where you will store it? Do you have plans if your computer is destroyed by flood, fire or alien invasion? If not, don’t panic - we can help you solve these problems and make sure you have a data management plan that is simple but covers all stages of your research project. This will be a hands on session so please bring along or think about a project you are currently working on to use in the session.
