the Data Management Planning Tool (DMPTool)

The Data Management Planning Tool (DMPTool) is an online platform designed to help researchers and organizations create effective data management plans. These plans outline how research data will be collected, stored, shared, and preserved throughout a project. The tool provides guided templates aligned with funding agency requirements, ensuring compliance and best practices. By using the DMPTool, users can systematically organize their data handling approaches, improve data security, and promote open access where appropriate, ultimately supporting transparency, reproducibility, and long-term data usability.
