Why Data Management?

Planning ahead about how to manage research data ultimately saves time, ensures that data is properly documented and reproducible, and creates opportunities for collaboration. Additionally, many funding agencies require that grant proposals include a plan for how research data will be managed and shared.

Consultations and Group Instruction

Faculty, staff, and researchers can meet with librarians and/or request classes and workshops tailored to their groups' needs. Topics for one-on-one consultations and group instruction include, but are not limited to:

• General data management

• Data management plans
• Copyright and licensing data
• Digital file organization
• DOIs
• REDCap
