Data management plans

Research Data Management Plans - logo

A research data management plan (RDMP) is a document that describes how your research data will be handled throughout the data lifecycle. It should be created at the start of your research project and updated whenever changes occur. An RDMP is a compulsory part of the UG data policy and is required by most funding bodies when applying for a grant.

Drawing up a data management plan

Support

You can find more information about research data management plans, as well as information about how you can get support creating your own RDMP on the Digital Competence Centre website.

More information per faculty

Procedures can differ per faculty and research institute, so please consult your faculty or institute specific guidelines.

FAIR data

FAIR data 

Researchers are increasingly being asked to publish their research data externally, to make them visible and/or publish them publicly, as well as archiving them within the relevant university. You can share some or all of your research data in a repository, depending on the sensitivity and protection level. The basic principle at the UG is: ‘Share your research data as open as possible, and as closed as necessary’. The application of FAIR data principles, taking data protection and easy access for others into account, is the final step in the life cycle of your research data.  

Further information

Do you want to know more about placing research data in a repository? Or do you have a question about open access archiving and sharing research data? More information about publishing data is available on the page of the Digital Competence Centre. Please remember that procedures may differ per faculty, so contact the privacy & security coordinator at your Faculty.
