Introduction to Research Data Management – Open Methods and Reproducibility – Online Event

Veranstaltungsdaten

Event language: English

Research data management begins even before the data is collected: A detailed project plan helps to manage research data and make workflows transparent throughout the entire research cycle. Funding organizations often require a detailed data management plan before the start of a project. A reference to published project plans can also be essential for the subsequent publication of your research results. 
For this reason, this workshop will focus on data management plans and pre-registrations for efficient and transparent project management.
Research data management does not end after data collection but also includes the crucial phase of data analysis. We will therefore also focus on the management of data processing and analysis.
By engaging in good project management and describing your entire research workflow transparently and comprehensibly for the scientific community, you not only ensure a high quality of your research but also contribute to open science.

 Qualification Outcomes 

• You will know how data and code can make your results reproducible.
• You will be able to formulate data management plans or preregistrations that include the organization, documentation, and storage of data and be familiar with strategies for adhering to these plans.
• You will be aware of the importance of research data management in the context of open science.
• You will have a clear understanding of the research-data-management and advisory services at the University of Marburg.

Please also note our free, half-day workshop “Research Data Management- Project- and Data Management (FAIR Data)” on October 20, 2025.
Both events offer an introduction to research data management. If you already have specific questions, we will be happy to advise you personally. Please e-mail eresearch@uni-marburg.de at any time.
