BackgroundGood data management is essential for ensuring the validity and quality of data in all types of clinical research and is an essential precursor for data sharing. The Data Management Portal has been developed to provide support to researchers to ensure that high-quality data management is fully considered, and planned for, from the outset and throughout the life of a research project. The steps described in the portal will help identify the areas which should be considered when developing a Data Management Plan, with a particular focus on data management systems and how to organise and structure your data. Other elements include best practices for data capture, entry, processing and monitoring, how to prepare data for analysis, sharing, and archiving, and an extensive collection of resources linked to data management which can be searched and filtered depending on their type. |
