Data Management Plans (DMP)
One of the first steps in Research Data Management is the preparation of a Data Management Plan (DMP).
A Data Management Plan will provide the details of:
- How research data will be collected, documented, formatted, stored, protected and shared
- How other datasets will be acquired and used Where data will be deposited
- Who will be responsible for management of the projects data
- Who will assume responsibility if the initial responsible person leaves the project or team
- Roles and responsibilities of the research project team
- Ethical, legal or commercial restrictions that may reduce or prevent sharing options
- DMP Assistant. The Alliance."DMP Assistant is a bilingual tool for preparing data management plans (DMPs). The tool follows best practices in data stewardship and walks researchers step-by-step through key questions about data management."
- DMP Exemplars. The AllianceSelect 'DMP Exemplars' to see example for Digital Humanities, Mixed Methods, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences.
