Data management plan (DMP)

In Documents & records

The data management plan describes how a trial's data will be collected, checked, corrected, coded, and locked. It names the systems used, the edit checks that will run, how queries are handled, and the criteria for database lock. It is the data team's equivalent of the monitoring plan.
