SFB/Transregio 161 Data Management Plan 2019-2023

The participating universities in SFB/Transregio 161 acknowledge the general importance of research data management as a vital issue for all of their work and provide increasing central support for long-term accessibility and reusability of data, documentation of methods and tools and privacy protection. However, technical and organisational offerings for data management can only be effective as far as researchers are aware of them and can make informed decisions on which solution is the right one for which data, which in turn requires an overall knowledge of the types and amounts of data collected or produced in the project. Furthermore, ensuring long-term availability of data for reproducibility of research results, which is one of the key ideas behind the research efforts of SFB/Transregio 161, requires planful actions as serving data beyond the lifetime of a project involves allocation of technical and organisation resources. This data management plan (DMP) identifies the research data collected or produced in SFB/Transregio 161, assesses their value for the goals of reusability and reproducibility and states the timeframes in which SFB/Transregio 161 and/or the participating universities guarantee their future availability. It furthermore describes the technical and organisational means for storing and publishing research data which the researchers of SFB/Transregio 161 can make use of. Such means might be provided by the project and funded by DFG or by the universities. The DMP states minimum requirements for metadata that must be provided for research data, briefly addresses privacy and ethics issues and provides the researchers with guidelines for GPDR-compliant handling of personal data which might be collected in the projects. The DMP is a living document and therefore will be updated as necessary.

参与SFB/Transregio 161项目的各大学均认识到，作为其各项工作的重要议题，研究数据管理具有普遍的重要性，并为其提供不断增强的中央支持，以确保数据的长久可访问性和可重用性，以及方法与工具的文档记录和隐私保护。然而，数据管理的技术和组织方案只有当研究人员了解这些方案并能够就哪些解决方案适用于哪些数据做出明智决策时才能有效。这又反过来要求研究人员对项目所收集或生成的数据类型和数量有全面的了解。此外，为确保研究结果的复现性，这是SFB/Transregio 161研究努力背后的关键理念之一，需要周密的规划行动，因为项目生命周期之后的数据服务涉及技术和组织资源的分配。本数据管理计划（DMP）识别了SFB/Transregio 161项目收集或生成的数据，评估其对于重用和复现目标的价值，并声明了SFB/Transregio 161及/或参与大学保证其未来可用的具体时间框架。它还描述了SFB/Transregio 161研究人员可以利用的存储和发布研究数据的技术和组织手段，这些手段可能由项目提供并由DFG资助，或由大学提供。DMP规定了必须提供的研究数据元数据的最基本要求，简要阐述了隐私和伦理问题，并为研究人员提供了处理可能收集的个人数据的GDPR合规指南。DMP是一个活文件，因此将根据需要更新。
