    Updated postgraduate data management planning guidance

    Since our original post about data management planning for postgraduate researchers we’ve updated the template a couple of times. We’ve also created a guidance document to accompany it, which will help researchers develop a data management plan even if they haven’t been able to attend a face-to-face workshop. We’ve started using the template as part of [...]

    On Thursday 28 June, Cathy and I ran the latest of our postgraduate workshops on research data management. The session was structured similarly to our last workshop, though without the extended hands-on section on data management planning. The loss of this section was down to time pressures (we had an hour less this time). We started by [...]

    Doctoral Training Centres as catalysts for research data management

    Posted on 15 December 2011 by Jez Cope | From Research360
    As I’ve already mentioned, the focal point for a lot of the pilot work in Research360 is the Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) in Sustainable Chemical Technologies. This presents us with some interesting opportunities and challenges, and is well worth investigating: DTCs (or CDTs depending on the research council) are fast becoming the norm for PhD [...]
