The new issue of Think Open Digest concentrates on the basics of research data management (RDM) and data management planning (DMP). ”Know Your Data” contains six articles and is aimed at all researchers – especially those who doubt the usefulness of RDM and DMP.
Effective research data management? – DMP to the rescue!
Data management planning (DMP) is too often considered a burden and a bureaucratic procedure. However, a data management plan is a useful tool that helps researchers prepare more effectively for the research process and identify the potential risks. DMP also has significant pedagogical potential and, in collaboration with DMP organisations, can develop the infrastructure and services needed to conduct research.

Why plan research data management in advance?
Every aspect of research data management (RDM) is equally important and all parts of the process need to be properly discussed and planned. Poor data management planning (DMP) is a risk that can potentially cause problems for the research project. This fourth section of the ”Know your data” article series highlights the importance of planning ahead.

Why research data management?
In the first few sections of this blog series, we answered the question: What is research data management (RDM)? In this post, we will provide more detail on the changes in the research process that relate to RDM and explain why it has become increasingly important to understand the significance of RDM.
The components of research data management
The key components of research data management (RDM) consist of the following: knowing and describing your data, following ethical and legal principles, and understanding the workflows related to securing, storing, sharing, archiving, opening, and publishing your data. Here, we take a closer look at these RDM components and their relationship with the scientific research process and the basic services provided by a researcher’s home organisation.

What is research data management (RDM)?
This new article series presents the basics of research data management (RDM). The opening section of the series provides an overview of RDM: what it is, why it concerns all researchers, and how the RDM life cycle relates to the research life cycle.
