Librarians and researchers need to develop a data management plan before setting up any project.
A data management plan is a formal document that outlines what you will do with your data during and after you complete your research.
This data management plan will help a researcher avoiding unnecessary duplication. It will enhance data sharing thus leading to collaboration and advance in research. Help researchers be more visible on groups for greater impact when users access the researched work.
Data management planning helps researchers cite the required data and gain out of it and promote it were necessary. Librarians will help to describe the researcher's data for easy access with better standards that allow users understand it and discover it.
Better Ethics and intellectual property restrictions should be set in place while planning well data sharing and easy accessing methods. Strategies for long term preservation ensuring the long term values and data should be made available to other researchers with few restrictions as possible.
The researcher should be advised not to forget drawing a budget covering the data management and preservation costs, including the hardware and software required then the human resource and costs of Archiving.
I wish you well as your planning the data management plan for new projects.
