This document provides guidance on data, idea, backup, and project management for research. It recommends documenting all aspects of the research process, organizing files in a hanging folder system separated by project phases, and keeping all drafts. It also suggests capturing insights in an idea management system and making regular backups to prevent data loss. Finally, it advises planning research projects carefully with realistic deadlines, deliverables, and sufficient time for rewriting.
