Wrap-up
• Workshop provided an introduction to RDM
1. data handling
- documentation
- organizing files and folder
- data security and data protection
2. Research Ethics and Legal Compliance
- informed consent and anonymization 
- intellectual property rights and data licensing
3. Data Sharing and Long-Term Preservation
- levels of sharing
- archiving data
In Conclusion
• focused on the most important topics of RDM
⇒ gave an overview of relevant aspects
• Hands-on DMP
– didn’t touch on some of the sections
– sometimes more a “to-do list” 
than a documentation of your RDM
⇒ remember, as research is a dynamic process, 
the DMP needs to be frequently up-dated
Perform an adequate RDM
Basic quality assurance Replicability Reusability
back-up strategy within the project back-up strategy for storing data after the project (~10 yrs) plan submission to an archive for long-term preservation
data collection and versioning guidelines standardization, e.g. by employing licensed scales
minimal documentation, e.g. sampling, variable and code labels
metadata to describe the entire research process detailed documentation for reuse
legal / ethical issues: informed consent for use of data within the project
legal / ethical issues: data storage or making it accessible to others
legal / ethical issues: archiving and reuse (covered by informed consent?)
file formats that fulfill the needs of the primary research group file formats for keeping data &  documentation accessible for at least 10 years
file formats that facilitate data reuse in the future
