Finally, Friday is all about you!

Hopefully by now you have had time to fill in our short survey – it will take you less than 5 minutes, go and do it now, I’ll wait here…

…    …    …

Welcome back!

The survey you just completed will help us refine our services in Greenwich Research & Enterprise to better help you with your data management needs. We do have research data management support available in GRE already, for example:

Working with your data –  Whether it is advice about organising your data, protecting it, anonymising it or selecting what data you want to preserve, the team at GRE is happy to discuss techniques and issues with you.

Designing data management plans – GRE is able to support you in developing and writing a Data Management Plan, whether for your own records (which is always a good idea!) or specifically tailoring ones for funding applications in addition to support with the rest of your application from the Research Development Officers.

The university also has access to DMP Online, a service provided by the Digital Curation Centre, a brilliant source of advice and help about data management and preservation. They also publish downloadable guides to everything data! Using DMP Online to create your Data Management Plan will provide you with a custom list of questions that will lead you through the requirements of your specific funder, and you can share it with your co-investigators to collaborate. You can also send it over to us in GRE.

Choosing/using data repositories – GRE can guide you through the process of selecting an appropriate repository for your data, and ensuring you meet all your funder or publisher requirements.
