ELIXIR Tools for Data Management

The Research Data Management kit (RDMkit) is a set of guidelines for implementing good data management practices amd making your data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). These best practice guidelines have been compiled by a network of data managers and data stewards from the ELIXIR nodes acrooss Europe. Please view this pdf for our tips on using the RDMkit.

The Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) is an online web tool designed by ELIXIR-CH to streamline the process of creating a comprehensive data management plan (DMP). By employing a user-friendly question-based format, the DSW guides you through a series of carefully crafted inquiries, ensuring that every aspect of your data management plan is addressed while tailoring it to your specific needs. Once you provide your answers, the DSW incorporates the information into a downloadable DMP document using a specified template format. It allows multiple users to collaborate on a single document. The DSW proves particularly advantageous to individuals new to the realm of DMP writing, as it alleviates uncertainties regarding the detail required for each section. The DSW provides metrics which allow you to assess how FAIR your DMP is. Click here to be redirected to the online tool for writing DMPs.

The FAIRCookbook provides step-by-step instructions, best practices, and expert insights on implementing FAIR data principles throughout the data lifecycle. It covers a wide range of topics, including data organization, metadata creation, data documentation, data repository selection, data citation, and data sharing protocols.
