In the early days of RMS, we needed a way of emphasising these different aspects of data-related thinking and how it flows through the entire project life-cycle. We organised our thinking into the following stages, mapped to the stages of a research project.
- Design / Planning
- Data ownership
- Planning
- Planning data collection and data entry
- Activity
- Data collection
- Data entry and organisation
- Statistical analysis
- Reporting / Post-project
- Interpretation and write-up
- Data storage and access
- Dissemination and feedback to data originators
