DMP (Data Management Plans)

A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a document that outlines how research data will be handled throughout a project. It details procedures for collecting, storing, organizing, sharing, and preserving data to ensure its quality, security, and accessibility. Essentially, a DMP helps researchers plan for efficient data use, prevent data loss, and meet relevant regulations or funder requirements. By doing so, it promotes transparency, reproducibility, and long-term value of the research data.
