This Webinar is about why we need to embrace development and use of data management plans (DMP) to guarantee production and supply of quality data. The importance and value of a DMP are in its use as an instrument for the following: capturing quality metadata and data; implementing data policies; complying with funders and publishers requirements; preventing occurrence of data disasters; enabling research collaboration; supporting open science and citizen science; and enhancing research careers.
The webinar discusses key components of a comprehensive DMP and suggests how to formulate a DMP. It discusses the link between metadata and data and how it affects the quality of data, and its use and reuse in the data ecosystem. The need to conduct a complexity analysis based on CFTER factors along a proposed data value chain model shall be discussed. The DMP issues that will be considered include: IT costs; storage and backup; best practices; data licensing; data preservation; and self-assessment instruments.
Prof Muliaro Wafula the presenter has contributed to the development of Nature Masterclasses online course on Managing Research Data https://masterclasses.nature.com/online-course-in-managing-data/18365540 that could be of help to early career researchers.
Other examples of DMPs recommended and relevant to the webinar include: https://library.stanford.edu/research/data-management-services/data-management-plans, https://libraries.mit.edu/data-management/plan/write/
