Reach out for help from Research Support in advance
Do you need guidance on funding opportunities, project management, or navigating ethical considerations? SDU's research support units at the faculties and RIO are committed to assisting you throughout your academic journey.
We recommend you to reach out for help as early as possible so we can provide the right resources to enhance your chances of success.
Do you process personal data?
You must consider whether or not you process personal data in your research project. If you handle personal data, you are expected to follow the rules on the processing of such data.
Read more about the different types of personal data.
If you process personal data in your research project, the project must be registered to Legal Services in SDU RIO.
You should expect approximately one week for case processing from the time you register the project until Legal Services contacts you. Please note that projects cannot always be approved within a week as it depends on the complexity of each project.
Questions? Please contact Legal Services in SDU RIO.
Prepare a data management plan
SDU’s Open Science Policy requires that the project’s handling of the collected or created research data must be planned. The form and scope of the planning vary between different research areas, and the specific requirements for the planning are determined in the individual department’s Open Science policies. In many cases, it would be a good idea or a requirement to make a formal Data Management Plan.
Your department may be working with a specific template, and otherwise you can find inspiration at DMP online.
