Introduction to Research Data Management at Western Sydney: Online

Note:

This training session is for researchers and students from Western Sydney University (WSU). If you are not from WSU, we suggest you attend another Research Data Management Techniques training session delivered at your institution.

Why do this course?

As a WSU researcher or HDR Candidate, is important to understand your responsibilities around the management of your research data.

WSU’s Research Data Management Policy requires all researchers and HDR candidates to develop a Research Data Management Plan (RDMP) prior to starting research at the University.

A RDMP will help you think proactively about your project and the data that will be produced, including how it will be collected, organised, managed, stored, preserved, shared and possibly published during and after your research project.

In this workshop you will learn more about the process of creating a comprehensive RDMP, including:

• How to access and submit an RDMP on ResearchDirect
• How to manage your research data according to legal, statutory, ethical, funding body and university requirements.
• Research data storage options at WSU
• The importance of update and review of your RDMP
• The benefits of publication and re-usability of research data
• How to access support with research data management planning
