Research Data Live Longer

   

This video tells the fictive tale of a successful project in squirrel research. The principle of sustainable data management was unfortunately neglected in this otherwise excellent research. A typical project flow will be described here according to the data life cycle.

 

Data Management Planning

   

This video outlines what data management plans (DMP) are and how they can benefit research.

 

Content of a Data Management Plan

   

This video takes a DMP template and the fictive squirrel research as an example to look at specific questions related to research. DMP templates help give structure and ensure no important aspects are overlooked in your research, yet do not require you to answer all the potential questions.

 

Research Data and their Metadata

   

This video briefly defines metadata and the role they play in the data life cycle. The terms “metadata” and “metadata schema” will be explained using a data table.

 

Persistent Identifier (PID)

   

This video briefly explains what PIDs are and how they can be used in research data management. 

 

Research Data to Publications

   

This video presents best practice examples – in the fictional context of squirrel research – on how research data that form the basis of a publication can be managed.
