Ways of planning and designing research vary widely among fields for producing research products, published findings and new techniques. This guide emphasizes resources for making research data available as one of the outcomes. Funders and publishers increasingly ask for data to be made accessible for further research, and accompanying publications and grant requirements.  Resources and links in these sections will help navigate the requirements and resources for various fields, and implement data sharing as part of the research plan.
