Abstract:Does the phrase “Data Management” scare you? Are you feeling DMPs are a distraction rather than a vital part of the research process main event? Does DMP evaluation feel like a rigged carnival game, with no way to win? Does it feel like you have eaten too much cotton candy?
Have no Fear! The National Transportation Library Data Services Team is here!
Many people are still afraid of writing and evaluating Data Management Plans (DMPs). While others may treat DMPs as “just another form,” we urge readers to see Data Management Plans as a vital part of Research Project Knowledge Management. DMPs can be utilized to communicate vital information to research team members and serve as an important succession tool as the team changes. Properly implemented, a DMP can guide a team as they think through research data collection. This in turn, can lead to more accurate research budget requests, as data file size, repository costs, and data management time are estimated during the DMP writing process. Writing robust DMPs help give potential funders confidence in a researcher’s ability to shepherd research resources, which can lead to more awards in the future.
The NTL team will introduce researchers and research managers to: the concepts of data management; a simple and useful template for DMP sections; the intersection of Data Management and Knowledge Management; the benefits of regular DMP review and updates; and, evaluating DMPs with confidence.
