Overview 

Efficient data management is important for the advancement of research. It is consistently receiving attention from various stakeholders, including research funders, research performing organisations, and the researchers themselves.  The attention given to data management planning is in part due to efforts to encourage researchers to practice Open Research and incorporate the principles of FAIR.  Data management plans are key parts of the research process, aiding researchers with planning for the tools and resources needed to store, analyse, and manage the many types and size of data that will be collected and/or created. Research support staff play a vital role in the development of data management plans. Research support managers, data stewards, and the like offer valuable support to researchers, aid in establishing good data practice, and are usually the first point of contact for developing data management plans. 

The Digital Curation Centre (DCC) is hosting an interactive training geared toward research support staff, “From Data to Discovery: Supporting Data Management Plans using DMPonline.”  The training will present participants with the key components of data management plans (DMPs) considering best practices to support researchers at each stage of development. Additionally, the concept of the FAIR principles will be discussed and its relationship to the DMP, particularly around interoperability. Further, the DCC team will introduce the core functionality of DMPonline, DCC’s web-based tool that supports researchers to develop DMPs. There will be a hands-on session that will show how to use the tool, detail the tool's key features, and show how participants can use it to support researchers and review DMPs. 

Audience

This course is targeted to those in any research support role, including research data management professionals, librarians, data stewards, and administrators. The course is suited to those with interest in data management planning, the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles, understanding the connection between both concepts, and having expert support in using DMPonline to support the development of data management plans. This course is also for those who would like a refresher on the best practices surrounding data management planning.
