Data Management Plan: Initial

This deliverable, D1.8 is the first data management document across the lifetime of the CSI-COP project. The document introduces the early data collection during CSI-COP’s research phase. In this part of the project, in the first six of thirty months, CSI-COP conducted exhaustive literature review. The purpose was to learn the best practices in citizen science engagement, and to find how previous projects addressed the challenges of recruiting a diverse pool of citizen scientists reflecting the European population. The first deliverable report, D2.1 ‘CS Research report. Public report on current methods in CS engagement’ has been made freely accessible through sharing on various online sites, including LinkedIn, on CSI-COP’s project website, and in Pure repository. Information on D2.1 is tabulated in the Appendix of this DMP. The succeeding DMP will detail the next step in the project progressing from research to recruitment of citizen scientists, and the start of the innovation phaseThis is one of three data management plans that the CSI-COP will produce across the duration of the project to preserve data collected using the F.A.I.R. data principles
