From Academy of Finland September call 2020, University of Turku process for funding approval and submitting and reviewing Data Management Plan has confronted major changes.
BRDM is the 3 ETCS course dealing with many aspects of research data management, aiming to give you a solid base for responsible data management (including open science aspects).
Research data is key even in undergraduate students' research process. One of the prerequisites for the reliability of academic research is that it is carried out following good scientific practices. A research data management plan is a great tool to ensure this goal is reached. Turku University Library has recently created a template for data management plans tailored specifically to students' needs, with which they can plan the management of their data throughout the thesis process.
Since the Academy of Finland September call 2020, significant changes have been made to the University of Turku process for approving and accepting of the funding. The research support services at the University of Turku will help the researcher in writing the plan. To ensure the quality of the service, we would like to remind the researchers of the summer schedules.
Digital preservation refers to long-term storage of digital information in an accessible and usable form for several decades or even centuries. The University of Turku has applied and been granted a permission by the Ministry of Education and Culture to store the materials in the Archives of History, Culture and Arts Studies (ACS Archive) to the national Digital Preservation Service for research data (DPS for research data). The University has signed an agreement with CSC – IT Center for Science this week. CSC is responsible for the realisation of the service.
Research data management guide for students covers the entire process of research, from planning to completing a thesis. The guide offers examples on different types of research data, and it explains how to ensure the quality and safety of the data at each phase of the research.
Are you taking part in the Academy of Finland’s September call and need help with data management planning? The Turku University Library will arrange different kinds of guidance how to write a DMP.
