  1. DMP Resources

DMP

What is a DMP?

A DMP (Data Management Plan) is a formal document outlining how data will be handled throughout a research project. It ensures that data is managed effectively, remains accessible, and complies with institutional, funding, and legal requirements. Institutions and funding agencies, especially those emphasizing open science and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles., often require DMPs

Key Components of a DMP

  1. Data Description

    • What data will be collected, generated, or used?

    • The format, volume, and data types (e.g., numeric, text, images).

  2. Data Collection and Processing

    • Methods for collecting and generating data.

    • Tools, technologies, or software involved in the process.

  3. Metadata and Documentation

    • Standards for describing the data to ensure others understand and use it.

    • Metadata schemas and formats (e.g., Dublin Core, JSON).

  4. Storage and Backup

    • Where the data will be stored (local servers, cloud storage, institutional repositories).

    • Backup strategies to ensure data integrity and availability.

  5. Ethics and Legal Compliance

    • How data will comply with ethical guidelines and legal regulations (e.g., GDPR).

    • How will sensitive or personal data be protected?

  6. Data Sharing and Access

    • Plans for making the data accessible to others (e.g., open access, embargo periods).

    • Use data repositories or platforms (e.g., Zenodo, Dryad, Dataverse).

  7. Long-Term Preservation

    • Steps to ensure data longevity (e.g., archival formats, institutional support).

    • Identifying repositories for long-term storage.

  8. Responsibilities

    • Identifying who is responsible for data management during and after the project.

    • Roles for principal investigators, data stewards, and collaborators.

  9. Budget and Resources

    • Estimating costs related to data management (e.g., storage, personnel, software).

Importance of a DMP

  • Organization: Helps researchers plan data management tasks systematically.

  • Compliance: Meets requirements from funding agencies and institutions.

  • FAIR Principles: Supports others in making data reusable.

  • Risk Mitigation: Reduces risks of data loss, corruption, or misuse.

  • Collaboration: Enhances transparency and supports collaboration among researchers.

Tools for Creating a DMP

  • DMPonline: A tool to create and manage DMPs tailored to funding agencies' requirements.

  • DMPTool: Popular in the US, especially for federal grant applications.

  • RDA DMP Common Standard: Provides an interoperable framework for DMPs.
