Writing Data Management Plans
Including Software Development in the EPSRC template
Help for researchers to manage their data through all stages of a research project: before, during and after.
The Research Data Support team supports all staff and students working with research data.
You can get advice on solutions for good research data management including access to training to develop your data management knowledge and skills.
When planning your research project the Research Data Support team can connect you with specialists from across the Information Services department at University of Edinburgh so you can discuss a variety of options for managing your data through these stages:
- Before - plan how you will collect, manage, and store your data, including storage and backup, sensitivity of the data, and whether it can be shared;
- During - find and analyse data, store and backup active data, synchronise your data across devices and with research collaborators, and version your software and files;
- After - record, share, and archive your data for the long-term.
You can also get access to a range of online and live workshops and courses.
