To promote openness, accountability and efficiency in research, funders are placing a higher priority on sharing data - and increasingly requiring researchers to have solid data management plans as part of their funding applications.

The new third edition is 36 pages covering:

* why and how to share research data
* data management planning and costing
* documenting data
* formatting data
* storing data
* ethics and consent issues
* data copyright
* data management strategies for large investments
