Introduction to Research Data Management and Data Management Plans

A one-hour webinar hosted by the University of Luxembourg library (Luxembourg Learning Centre) and the research office, introducing the general concepts of Research Data Management and Data Management Plans. The presentation highlights the definition of research data and its various types and formats, it explains the basics of what a Data Management Plan (DMP) is, and lists the best practices in data management for each of the sections of a DMP. The FAIR principles are then introduced, linking them to persistent identifiers, recommended repositories, best practices in documenting data and open licences, more specifically the Creative Commons licences. A few pointers on how to create the best DMP possible are also outlined.
