Study Planning

Good research practice includes early planning of research projects. This is essential to ensure that activities are carefully organised and implemented to guarantee efficiency and successful completion. Particular attention should be paid to how research-related data will be managed during and after the completion of the research. This section summarises the most important aspects of data management to consider when planning a study.
During the planning phase, it is important to clearly define not only the methodological aspects of the study from the outset in the study design or protocol, but also the data management strategy described in the data management plan. If sensitive data are to be handled, special care should be taken with regard to the ethical aspects of the study.
