Component 1: Data collection
-
What types of data will you collect, create, link to, acquire and/or record?
-
What file formats will your data be collected in? Will these formats allow for data re-use, sharing and long-term access to the data?
-
What conventions and procedures will you use to structure, name and version control your files to help you and others better understand how your data are organized?
-
-
Component 2: Data documentation and metadata
-
What documentation will be needed for the data to be read and interpreted correctly in the future?
-
How will you make sure that documentation is created or captured consistently throughout your project?
-
What metadata standard will be needed to describe your data
-
-
Component 3: Storage and backup
-
What are the anticipated storage requirements for your project, in terms of storage space (in megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, etc.) and the length of time you will be storing it?
-
How and where will your data be stored and backed up during your research project?
-
How will the research team and other collaborators access, modify, and contribute data throughout the project?
-
-
Component 4: Preservation
-
Where will you deposit your data for long-term preservation and access at the end of your research project?
-
Indicate how you will ensure your data is preservation-ready. Consider preservation-friendly file formats, ensuring file integrity, anonymization and de-identification, inclusion of supporting documentation.
-
-
Component 5: Sharing and Re-use
-
What data will you be sharing and in what form? (e.g. raw, processed, analyzed, final)
-
Have you considered what type of end-user license to include with your data?
-
What steps will be taken to help the research community know that your data exists?
-
-
Component 6: Responsibilities and Resources
-
Identify who will be responsible for managing this project's data during and after the project and the major data management tasks for which they will be responsible of.
-
How will responsibilities for managing data activities be handled in case substantive changes happen in the personnel overseeing the project's data, including a change of Principal Investigator?
-
What resources will you require to implement your data management plan? What do you estimate the overall cost for data management to be?
-
-
Component 7: Ethics and Legal Compliance
-
If your research project includes sensitive data, how will you ensure that it is securely managed and accessible only to approved members of the project?
-
If applicable, what strategies will you undertake to address secondary uses of sensitive data?
-
How will you manage legal, ethical, and intellectual property issues?
