Rather, data archiving should begin early in a project and incorporate a schedule for depositing products over the course of a project’s life cycle and for the creation and preservation of accurate metadata, ensuring the usability of the research data itself. Such practices would incorporate archiving as part of the research method.” Preserving Research Data, Jacobs and Humphrey (2004)*  ##### [illustration: DatOne Data Life Cycle](https://www.dataone.org/data-life-cycle) --- ## Data Management Plans A data management plan is a document that describes what you will do with your data _during_ your research and _after_ you complete your research. ## Required By: * Funding Agencies * Publishing * Sharing and Archiving Data * Reproducibility of Research * Lastly, regardless of the requirements, good data management is an essential skill for researchers. .footnote[Graduate Writing Center Summer 2018] --- ## Basic Elements of a Data Management Plan * Data Description * Format(s) * Documentation * Privacy and ownership * Acess and sharing * Cost [ICPSR Handout] [NSF Handout] .footnote[Graduate Writing Center Summer 2018] --- ## Getting Help with Data Management Plans * Data Science Center / Social Science Data Archive * Open Science Foundation: [Creating a data management plan (DMP) ](http://help.osf.io/m/bestpractices/l/618674-creating-a-data-management-plan-dmp) * ICPSR: [Data Management Plans ](https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/deposit/guide/chapter1.html) * DMPTool: [DMPTool](https://dmptool.org) .footnote[Graduate Writing Center Summer 2018] --- ## DMPTool #### [https://dmptool.org](https://dmptool.org)  .footnote[Graduate Writing Center Summer 2018] --- ## Access and Sharing: Where to put data * UCLA DataDen * Dataverse - Data Science Center curated - Self-curated - Harvard Hosted * OSF: Open Science Foundation * ICPSR: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research .footnote[Graduate Writing Center Summer 2018] --- ## OSF : Open Science Foundation #### [https://osf.io/](https://osf.io/)  .footnote[Graduate Writing Center Summer 2018] --- ## Center for Open Science #### [https://cos.io/](https://cos.io/)  --- ## Dataverse: Harvard Hosted #### [https://dataverse.harvard.edu/](https://dataverse.harvard.edu/)  .footnote[Graduate Writing Center Summer 2018] --- ## UCLA DataDen #### [https://dataden.library.ucla.edu/](https://dataden.library.ucla.edu/)  --- ## ICPSR Data Site #### Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research [http://www.icpsr.umich.edu](http://www.icpsr.umich.edu)  --- ## Questions?  .footnote[Graduate Writing Center Summer 2018] --- ## Problems ? ## The Data Archive is here to help YRL, 2nd Floor, Room 21536<br/> ucla-data-archive@googlegroups.com<br/> 310-825-0716<br/><br/> Tim Dennis, Director of the Data Archive<br/> Jamie Jamison, Collection Manager<br/> .footnote[Graduate Writing Center Summer 2018]
