Data management and storage
You have already drawn up a data management plan (DMP) for your research project. This document describes how you intend to collect, define, store, and share the data with others. You will update this document throughout your research, as managing data is a continuous process. You should always bear the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles in mind. You should also realize that good data management is not only important in terms of complying with the strict guidelines, but can also affect the impact that your research makes. Finally, it can be a decisive factor in whether or not you acquire research grants.
The privacy & security coordinator of your faculty is usually the first point of contact for questions and support relating to data management. At a central level, the Digital Competence Centre can also be of assistance.
