Documentation further describing your research data, methodological approach, compute environment and statistical software, and any manipulation of your data should also be addressed within your data management plan. These documents should be provided to help users further understand the context and contents of your research outputs. Documentation can include, but is not limited to, codebooks, data dictionaries, READMEs, study protocols, survey instruments, and methodology reports. If your funding agency asks for information regarding documentation, describe the types of documentation you will be sharing along with your research data.

To facilitate interpretation of the data, study protocols, survey instruments and codebooks, and qualitative schedule of questions, coding schema, and code reports of frequency and density will be shared and associated with the relevant datasets.
To facilitate their efficient use, all our data and materials will be structured and described using the following standards:
Formal standards for pre- and post-intervention training assessment data have not yet been widely adopted. However, our data and other materials will be structured and described according to best practices.
Data will be stored in commonly used and open formats, such as .csv and Stata .dta for survey data and .pdf and .qdpx for focus group data, complying with the REFI-QDA Standard for qualitative data transfer and the FAIR guiding principles. Information needed to make use of these data [e.g., the meaning of variable names, codes, information about missing data, other metadata, etc.] will be recorded in codebooks and coding schema that will be accessible to the research team and subsequently shared alongside final datasets.
Information about our research process, including the details of our analysis pipeline will be maintained contemporaneously, using study protocols and qualitative coding scheme. This information will be accessible to all members of the research team and will be shared alongside our data.
