Research life cycle: 2.Research phase: Folder structure

A number of points to consider when creating a folder structure:

• Do not create more than 3 to 4 levels
• Chose logical categories (folder names)
  Folder names can be used to shorten file names, e.g.: 
  - file name: 20180129_InterviewpersonA_audio
  - becomes file name: 2018129_PersonA in the folder
    Interviews
• Keep 'in progress' and 'completed' separate

Document your defined structure in your data management plan. For example:
