From the creators of the Community Research Data Toolkit:
We're excited to share the launch of the Community Research Data Toolkit which can now be accessed in open-access formats and adapted for use. There are also tool templates within the pressbook can be downloaded separately.
This toolkit aims to reframe data management for community research work, with templates for conversational data management plans, establishing roles and responsibilities, and ways for communities to be involved in controlling access to data once the project is complete.
