Using DMPTool to Create a Data Management Plan

About Data Management Plans (DMPs)

A data management plan (DMP) is a written document for the lifecycle of your data. The plan provides details on data collection for storage, access, sharing, and reproducibility of your results. A good data management plan will ensure the availability and accessibility of your research results after your project is complete and you have published the results, increasing the value of your research and possible reuse by other researchers.
