Data Management Plan

Data Management Plan: Report on consortium Data Management Plan finished, detailing what data the consortium will generate, whether and how it will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved. The Project Administrator and the leaders of each WP (PIs) will use the University of Bristol as the base for all data management in MagnaPharm. The University has invested over £2 million in a dedicated Research Data Storage Facility (RDSF), managed by the Advanced Computing Research Centre (ACRC). The data to be stored will encompass all documents (text, MS Word), spreadsheets; scanned laboratory notebooks, diaries; online questionnaires, transcripts or surveys; digital audio or video recordings; contents of an application (input, output, log files for analysis software, simulation, software, schemas); documented methodologies and workflows and records of standard operating procedures and protocols. The University will preserve and provide access to research data, beyond the duration of a research activity. In accordance with recent initiatives on free access to research practices and outcomes, ALL of the data lodged at the University of Bristol will be freely available in a fully Open Access model. This is with the exception of commercially sensitive material, which will be stored as ‘restricted’ and/or ‘controlled’.
