This presentation is designed to introduce the fundamentals of Research Data Management (RDM). It covers aspects including how to plan for RDM to the creation, storage and dissemination of data. An exercise is also provided for researchers to write a Data Management Plan (DMP). This presentation was originally derived from an induction session for Masters students as part of a course in Sustainable Heritage; the 1-hour induction session was run by the Research Data Management team from Library Services.
