Revising your Data Management Plan with UCTDMP - Digital Scholar Series Online
Completing a Data Management Plan at the start of your research project is the best way to start managing your data. But at some point during your project, it might be time to do some updates and rethink your answers. As the UCT DMP platform always keeps your living document editable, this session takes you through updating your DMP with the information you have learned so far during your research project

The Digital Scholarship Services (DLS) department of UCT Libraries will be restarting our Digital Scholar Series in the third quarter of 2025. Presenters from DSS will showcase some of the practises 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. The 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 sessions 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. Our primary focus in the second half of the year will be on topics covering the middle and later stages of the research process, such as updating your Data Management Plan, cleaning your data, as well as best practices for sharing - highlighting work with sensitive data and using licences for publishing.
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.
