Research data management plan review
Check that your data plan describes actionable responsibilities and justified sharing decisions.
Review My Data Management Plan →Inspect real dataset evidenceTHE BUYER PROBLEM
Resolve the decision behind the request.
A generic promise to share everything can conflict with consent, licensing or sensitive-data restrictions.
HOW THE WORK MOVES
Scope first. Traceable decisions throughout.
- Confirm funder and institution requirements
- Review data, metadata and responsibilities
- Check access, retention and sharing rationale
- Return an actionable revision brief
Professional delivery uses the existing canonical project and case workflow. Independent QA and release approval are distinct decisions; unresolved findings remain visible.

Methods, assumptions and boundaries
Funder requirements change. RMA does not promise grant success, legal approval or repository acceptance.
Source values are preserved; changes require documented reasons. Analysis needs a defined outcome, population, design and eligible records. Review may withhold an unsupported test or conclusion.
Read the RMA methodology →Start with context. Transfer data privately.
The public fit check asks for objectives, stage and constraints. Do not paste participant names, health records, passwords or connector tokens. Access, permitted data, retention and export/deletion arrangements are confirmed before private transfer.
Review data-handling boundaries →Is this a fit?
For research teams and independent investigators who can explain the intended decision, provide authorised evidence and accept transparent limitations.
Outside scope: fabricated data, guaranteed significance, thesis ghostwriting, clinical decision-making or claims of regulatory certification.
Before you start
What does the first enquiry commit me to?
Nothing is charged through the fit-check form. RMA reviews scope and confirms deliverables, exclusions, timing and price in writing.
Will I need a personal or organisation workspace?
Choose personal research or an organisation project during intake. The same RMA account can participate in both. A professional service is linked to the canonical case; it does not create a separate portal.
Can you guarantee an outcome or approval?
No. Findings depend on the source data and design. QA checks the agreed evidence and cannot guarantee significance, graduation, grant funding or publication.
Prepare a stronger brief.
