Webinar is about why we need to embrace development and use of data
management plans (DMP) to guarantee production and supply of quality data.
The importance and value  of a DMP are in its use as an instrument for the
following: capturing quality metadata and data; implementing data policies;
complying with funders and publishers requirements; preventing occurrence
of data disasters;  enabling research collaboration; supporting open
science and
citizen science; and enhancing research careers.

The webinar discusses key components of a comprehensive DMP and suggests
how to formulate a DMP. It discusses the link between metadata and data and
how it affects the quality of data, and its use and reuse in the data
ecosystem. The need to conduct a complexity analysis based on CFTER factors
along a proposed data value chain model shall be discussed. The DMP issues
that will be considered include: IT costs; storage and backup; best
practices; data licensing; data preservation; and self-assessment
instruments.

Prof Muliaro Wafula the presenter has contributed to the development of
Nature Masterclasses online course on Managing Research Data
https://masterclasses.nature.com/online-course-in-managing-data/18365540 that
could be of help to early career researchers.

Other examples of DMPs recommended and relevant to the webinar include:
