DMPs for Research Success: Tools and Techniques for Data Stewards

This course equips data stewards, librarians, archivists, curators, and
research support staff with the knowledge and skills to effectively manage
research data. Participants will explore the fundamentals of Data Management
Plans (DMPs), their significance, and best practices for creating and
implementing them. Through hands-on sessions, learners will gain practical
experience with the ARGOS tool, a key platform for managing DMPs in
alignment with Open Science and FAIR data principles. Additionally,
participants will learn to build customized DMP templates and workflows
tailored to their institutions' needs, ensuring seamless integration into research
processes.
