Are you planning a research project, will the project generate research data or are you starting a thesis? You need a data management plan!
The purpose of data management is to ensure that good scientific practice is followed. In addition, the purpose of the data management plan is to identify potential risks in advance (e.g. data protection, ownership) and to ensure that the research data is not compromised at any stage (e.g. data storage solutions used).
Jamk is committed to promoting open science and research, so opening of the data for further use should also be possible. The starting point is the FAIR principles: make data findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable.
In the data management plan you plan and describe how research data is collected, used, stored and archived and opened for further use, taking into account e.g. data protection, information security and ownership. It is also a tool for the researcher. The plan helps to structure the questions that must be solved during the research in any case!
Create a data management plan at the latest when the project/research starts and modify it if necessary as the research progresses.
