Pathways to Research Data Management series

Pathways to Research Data Management is a series of workshops developed by the University of Victoria Libraries to support students and faculty in developing new skills and knowledge to support the management of their research data

Workshop description

Aimed at grad student and faculty researchers, this 90-minute workshop reviews the key components of a data management plan and offers guidance on how to improve the management of your research data for long-term use and preservation.

In this hands-on session, participants will have the opportunity to create their own data management plan using the online DMP Assistant platform.

DMP Assistant is a bilingual tool for preparing data management plans (DMPs). The tool follows best practices in data stewardship and walks researchers step-by-step through key questions about data management.

  • Create an account and select a template to start writing your DMP
  • Answer the questions that are relevant to your work, and follow guidance embedded in the DMP template
  • Add collaborators to your DMP to co-edit or review
  • Export your DMP into a PDF or other file format to share with granting agencies and colleagues
