This addresses institutional considerations for planning the management of data emerging from a research project.
RDM planning ensures that researchers carefully consider the management of their research data, leading to better RDM practice within an institution. As they take the researcher through the planning process, institutions can introduce researchers to institutional infrastructure and processes. RDM planning may be documented by the researcher in a data management plan, which should help with institutional oversight of research data and can be used to inform the provision of RDM infrastructure and services.
