A Repeat: Creating Data Management Plans with UCT DMP - Digital Scholar Series Online
In a repeat of our ever popular Data Management Planning webinar we look at using the UCT DMP tool to create your own DMP. Rather than just being another box to tick in your MoU, a DMP helps you figure out how you will work with and manage your data throughout your research project. You may still need to get all the answers, and some questions will be tough, but taking the time to try to answer them will save you from moments of failure in the future. This session takes you through UCT DMP, an online tool that guides you through creating your data management plan. After this session, you will no longer fear the DMP.

The Digital Library Services (DLS) department of UCT Libraries will be restarting our Digital Scholar Series in the first semester of 2024. We will showcase some of the digital practices and tools available to enhance your research skills, with an ongoing focus on managing your research data efficiently. These sessions are open to all postgraduate researchers and staff working within any field of study at UCT.
Our primary focus in the first half of the year will be on topics covering the beginning stages of the research process, such as data management plans (DMPs) and best practices for efficiently capturing and managing research data. Topics covered deal with the management of digital materials for research (what some of us call ‘data’) and touch on digital topics throughout the research lifecycle. The webinars are aimed at making your digital scholarship more efficient, so that your data gives you less hassle and you have more time to focus on your teaching, learning and research.
After registering for an event, you will receive an email with a calendar invite attached. All sessions will start at 1 PM with the topics and dates listed below. The sessions will be hosted on MS Teams and will last 45 minutes, with an extra 15 minutes for questions or discussions. DLS staff will be present to moderate the chat and to help answer your questions as they come up.
