A Data Management Plan is:
•Is a document that describes the data expected/generated during a project and addresses how you will manage and secure that data throughout the lifecycle of a research project
•Can be both a funder requirement for grant applications & a living document that is updated as the project evolves
Data is:
•“Recorded factual material commonly accepted in the scientific community as necessary to document and support research findings. This does not mean summary statistics or tables; rather, it means the data on which summary statistics and tables are based.” - NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guidance
•This includes metadata. Examples of metadata:
•Procedures & protocols
•Software, algorithms, scripts used
•Generating data
•Readme Files
