Data management plans: an advantage in ethical review

According to the policy of the Faculty of Humanities, drawing up a data management plan (DMP) for your research has been obligatory since 1 January 2021. The FEtC-H does not assess DMPs, but composing a DMP helps researchers in thinking about:

• exactly what data to collect;
• how to process these data;
• where to store them;
• which data are to be shared, for instance in light of Open Science.

A data management plan may thus also assist you in providing your participants with adequate information. That is why it is highly recommended to submit a DMP, specific for the study involved, with your FetC-H application.
