Research Data Management (RDM) refers to the organization, collection, storage, documentation, preservation, and dissemination of the research data life cycle. A Data Management Plan (DMP) refers to a formal document that describes how research data will be managed throughout the research project, including the planning of data collection, documentation, storage and backup, preservation, sharing and reuse, and protection of sensitive data. A good data management plan will cover all sections of the research data lifecycle, empowering researchers to ensure consistency across all members of the research team, identify any gaps in current practices, and ensure that data remains useable over the course of their research careers.
