Data Management Plans (DMPs)

A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a document that outlines how research data will be handled during and after a project. It details what data will be collected, how it will be stored securely, who can access it, and how it will be preserved for future use. The goal is to ensure data is well-organized, protected, and shared responsibly, supporting transparency, reproducibility, and compliance with policies or regulations. Essentially, a DMP helps researchers plan and manage their data efficiently and ethically throughout the research lifecycle.
