About the seminar
This seminar is an introduction to best practices for research data management. This includes how to write a solid data management plan, how to structure, document, and preserve the data during the project, and, finally, how to archive and share the data in suitable repositories. Participants also receive information about the UiT institutional archive, UiT Open Research Data, as well as the UiT principles and guidelines for research data management.
In the second half of the seminar, we split in two groups. Participants can choose between i) a group focusing on data containing sensitive information, and ii) a group focusing on data without sensitive information.
The seminar combines theory, plenary discussions, group activities, and individual practice. Participants are expected to be active prior to and during the teaching session. The reading list and other preparatory tasks will be provided well in advance.
