University of Northampton have created a short guide which highlights some of the issues to consider at each stage of the research lifecycle. Developed as part of the Jisc-funded Open to Open Access Project the guide provides a clear flowchart which takes you from the start of  your project to getting your work published. It also includes step by step points about dealing with your research data. The guide can be accessed from Northampton’s Research Support Hub– https://researchsupporthub.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/oa-and-research-lifecycle-flowchart-colour-v12.pdf
