Using open science principles for open science advocacy

The eeFDM project that aims at developing components for an effective and efficient research data management (RDM) was funded by the BMBF in 2017. As for most RDM projects, a significant amount of energy is put into outreach and teaching initiatives. We planned the creation of promotional and informative videos in order to raise the awareness researchers on the most important aspects of RDM. To ensure the efficacy of the videos, we have been analysing RDM outreach activities. Using the principles of open science and data management, we started by writing a data management plan and developing a strategy to work in the open.
