The value of risk management for data management in science and engineering

An established concept to address data management challenges in science and engineering is the Data Management Plans. However, we claim that in some complex scenarios the actual principles for Data Management Plans might not be enough, especially when Risk Management turns to be relevant. Therefore, we propose a method, based on the ISO 31000, for science and engineering projects to create a Risk Management Plan that can complement the Data Management Plan. The validation of this proposal is presented in the real case of an engineering laboratory.
