Welcome to DMTpsych - Postgraduate training for research data management in the psychological sciences

The aim of DMTpsych project was to build capacity and skills within psychology postgraduates relating to research data management and was funded by JISC under the Managing Research Data programme (JISCMRD). It ran from August 2010 through July 2011 and was based in the Department of Psychology at the University of York.

DMTpsych built upon existing research data management materials developed by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) to create discipline-focused postgraduate training materials that can be embedded into postgraduate research training in the psychological sciences. The materials produced consist of:

• PowerPoint slides to be used in taught research methods courses
• Workbook containing psychology specific guidance on completing the DCC’s Online Data Management Planning Tool (including worked examples)
• A paper copy of the DMPT to be completed by students

The lectures are structured thematically to match the existing DCC DMPT with the eight key sections forming the centrepiece of six psychology specific lectures and round table discussions.

The training materials have been developed and piloted in the department of psychology at the University of York , in partnership with the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University .
