There are several stages to managing your data effectively, including managing data consent forms, keeping your data secure, building a data management plan, encrypting data, handling sensitive data, publishing, and preserving data, and incorporating data management expenses into your budget.
Individual funders have different policies on how long to keep data and how long it must be available to other researchers. Please see the UTM Library’s Research Data Management at UTM page, U of T Library’s Research Data Management website, and the CRIS Digital Research Infrastructure Portal for more information.
To arrange a consultation on research data management, contact Yayo Umetsubo, Scholarly Communications & Liaison Librarian at yayo.umetsubo@utoronto.ca.
