| Next Level Research Data Management: DMP Assistant and Data Repositories Workshop | April 19, 2024 - 11:09am |
Data Management Plans are about to become mandatory for many tri-agency funding opportunities. A key tool to assist with this new requirement is the Data Management Plan (DMP) Assistant. The DMP Assistant is a national, online, bilingual data management planning tool developed by the Digital Research Alliance of Canada to assist researchers in preparing data management plans (DMPs). In this hands-on workshop staff from the library and VIU’s SRCA office will discuss how the DMP Assistant works and guide you through the process so that you can make your own data management plan. |
