Plan & Design
Main Content
The foundation of any successful research project begins with meticulous planning and design. During this phase, researchers define the objectives of their study and select the methodologies that best address their research questions. This includes considering ethical and legal implications, ensuring compliance with institutional and regulatory requirements. A critical part of this phase involves creating a data management plan (DMP) to outline how data will be collected, processed, stored, and shared. By laying out a clear roadmap, researchers ensure that their work is organized, reproducible, and capable of meeting project goals.
