Abstract:
Enabling good research data management (RDM) practice is increasingly important given the intersection of data ethics, security and use of new technologies. To do this, universities undertake maturity assessments and develop roadmaps to provide efficient and practical training, connected tools for data management planning (DMPing), infrastructure, and support services. These enable researchers to undertake responsible research data management that align with policy and regulatory requirements whilst supporting university administrative needs.
Waipapa Taumata Rau, the University of Auckland, used a co-design approach to select ReDBox as our Data Management Planning tool. Following a pilot, we are engaging with the research community to raise awareness and encourage the use of our newly launched online DMP tool. In this talk, we will share our engagement approach and experiences, including the outreach activities undertaken and the resources we have developed as we transition to a DMP Service.
