  Data management, which encompasses activities and strategies related to the
storage, organization, and description of data and other research materials,
helps ensure the usability of datasets -- both for the original research team
and for others. When contextualized as part of a research workflow, data
management practices can provide an avenue for promoting other practices,
including those related to reproducibility and those that fall under the
umbrella of open science. Not all research data needs to be shared, but all
should be well managed to establish a record of the research process.
