"DMPonline" helps you to create, review, and share data management plans that meet institutional and funder requirements. 

Please see "Checklist for a Data Management Plan"

Why develop a data plan?

  • There are many benefits to managing and sharing your data:
  • You can find and understand your data when you need to use it
  • There is continuity if project staff leave or new researchers join
  • You can avoid unnecessary duplication e.g. re-collecting or re-working data
  • The data underlying publications are maintained, allowing for validation of results
  • Data sharing leads to more collaboration and advances research
  • Your research is more visible and has greater impact
  • Other researchers can cite your data so you gain credit
