Create and a Handle Data Management Plan

This is the training material used for a workshop at the 2023 edition of the Oslo Bioinformatics Workshop week

This workshop aims to provide a hands-on session on creating a data management plan (DMP) using the Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW), a dynamic web forms system provided by ELIXIR Europe. The Norwegian node of ELIXIR is curating a national instance of DSW (https://elixir-no.ds-wizard.org) and provides a DMP form customised for life scientists in Norway. The audience will learn about the information that needs to be captured into a DMP and how to use DSW for this purpose. We will demonstrate how to create a DMP, starting either from scratch or from a set of recommendations based on specific scientific domains including, among others, sequencing, light microscopy and high-throughput screening. A demonstration of how to work collaboratively on DMPs and how to export them to a document compliant with national and international funding bodies' requirements will also be given. In the second part of the workshop, the participants will work, individually or as groups, on a DMP for projects they are involved in or for projects of interest.
