Data Management and Sharing Plans: From Requirements to Reality Online
What: This workshop will guide you through the process of not only writing a Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMS Plan), but actively implementing it — turning policy requirements into practical, everyday actions that support the entire research lifecycle.
Why: A strong DMS Plan is only effective if it is put into practice. Let's get you moving beyond compliance and embedding good data management habits into real workflows, to ensure data is well-organized, reproducible, and ready to be shared.
How: This is a free 1 hour hands-on workshop.
Where: Online via Zoom (link provided upon registration).
Who: This seminar is open to all Harvard affiliates from all disciplines, and the public research community.
