GOOD SCIENTIFIC PRACTICE IN THE DRAWING UP OF DATA MANAGEMENT PLANS

ABSTRACT

Institutions and research agencies now require scientific conduct that collaborates with the agenda for Open Science. The drawing up of a Data Management Plan can be characterized as an initial procedure for the development of scientific research, a document that proposes that researchers manage the raw data of their research, promoting sharing, the opening up of data and its reuse for the benefit of researchers and society. The aim of this work was to assess requirements for Data Management Plans as part of new conduct for good practices in scientific research. The research was characterized as exploratory; document and bibliographic methods were used for the identification, collection and systematization of information. The results point to the need for the availability of these Plans in open data repositories and their relationship to higher education institutions, funding agencies and researchers. Actions that are carried out in the creation and development of Data Management Plans were also identified, mainly for the development of institutional policies for the management of research data, but also respecting different areas of knowledge, since not all data is generated in the same way. In addition, it is evident that there is a new paradigm in scientific publication and dissemination, which also influences its communication, be it within the academic environment or with society in general.
