Data Management Plan (DMP)

A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a strategic document that outlines how research data will be collected, organized, stored, shared, and preserved over time. It ensures data is handled responsibly, securely, and efficiently, making it easier to access and understand both now and in the future. A DMP helps researchers, institutions, and funders maintain data quality, comply with regulations, and facilitate collaboration. Essentially, it provides a clear roadmap for managing data throughout a project’s lifecycle, promoting transparency and maximizing the value of the research information generated.
