OSTI Lecture 4: Data Management Planning

Key Info
Description - a brief synopsis, abstract or summary of what the learning resource is about: 

What is a Data Management Plan? Why do we need them and how do they relate to our day-to-day research work? This short lecture, Part 4 of the Graduate Training in Open Science series, introduces the concept of the DMP, set within the context of the scope and scale of data produced in modern scientific research, and breaks the how-to process down into short-, medium- and long-term project management stages. Please note that, as a result of student feedback and the analysis undertaken for the Post-Pilot Report, this lecture will be offered as a mini-workshop in the release of the official material.

The Open Science Training Initiative provides a series of lectures in open science, data management, licensing and reproducibility, for use with graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The lectures can be used individually as one-off information lectures in aspects of open science or can be integrated into existing course provision at your institution as a lecture series, forming part of a hands-on exercise in producing a coherent research story.
