Data Management Plan

One of the guidelines for good scientific practice concerns the management of research data that is produced and analysed in the course of research projects. Funding organisations for research increasingly expect researchers to devise a data management plan that specifies an entire life cycle for research data, from creation to interpretation, data documentation and description, short-term storage as well as long-term archiving and data re-use. Research results should be reproducible, and the usage of data in new contexts and studies should be facilitated. There is a consensus that all research data produced in publicly-funded projects should be archived for ten years, at least. Research projects in the Humanities and in the Social Sciences that produce and use language-related data can profit from the CLARIN-D research infrastructure. CLARIN-D offers a number of services to manage research data in a sustainable manner, and to make it accessible to fellow scientists.
