Note: You will find this task in every learning unit. If you work on these continuously, you will have an individual checklist for your personal research data management at the end.

Which relevant activities, measures, or questions that you have learned in this learning unit fall into the individual phases of the research data lifecycle?
Consider this and create or supplement your personal checklist for your records.
Note: The checklist is to be understood as a „living document,“ which is continuously supplemented, revised, and adapted for specific research projects.

In general, the data lifecycle includes the following phases (Forschungsdaten.info, 2023):

• Planning the research project
• Data collection and documentation/recording
• Data processing and analysis
• Sharing and publishing
• Archiving
• Reuse
