Research Data Management Guidebook for Students

This "Research Data Management Guidebook for Students" is an introduction to research data management (RDM) for Bacehlor's and Master's students. The first chapter discusses what RDM is, a definition of research data, personal data, and research software. The second chapter covers the different phases of the research cycle (before, during, and after research) in detail and considerations that students should make in each phase. The appendix includes a glossary and a short introduction to Open Science. 

Feel free to edit the pdf itself to adapt it for your institution. To do so, you will need proprietary software (such as Adobe Acrobat Pro). If you do not have such software, feel free to use the word document to adapt to your needs.

Also, check out "Research Data Management Checklist for Students" which summarizes actions students should take in each phase of the research cycle (before, during, and after research).
