Data Management Plan Database

A Data Management Plan (DMP) describes how you will manage, store, secure, document, and share research data. DMPs can vary broadly across disciplines, methodologies, and data types. DMPs are a growing requirement for grants, and can also guide data practices for individuals and teams. DMP Assistant is a free webtool that guides you through drafting your DMP and the easiest way to start building a DMP. 

Our database gathers examples from across the world including DMPs from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Qualitative DMP Competition, DataOne, Digital Curation Centre, Liber, the Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance, and UC San Diego Research Data Curation into one searchable, open-access platform.

Art and Research Data Management Plan Template

 Original Source
McMaster University
This data management plan template is designed to facilitate group collaboration among a diverse range of stakeholders, including artists, researchers, research participants, social service workers, community organizers, and community workers. It is intentionally crafted in plain language to facilitate accessibility and understanding for all parties involved. Additionally, it frames the process as conversation as opposed to a more traditional form, fostering relational approaches to interdisciplinary collaboration.

Cultural diversity in film festivals seen through the press

 Original Source
Toronto Metropolitan University
This DMP aims to collect press reports, box office records, films, interviews, and MAXQDA files. The goal of the project is to study cultural diversity in film festivals.

Data Management Plan for Computational reproducibility in High-Performance Computing (HPC)

 Original Source
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Waterloo

This DMP example show uses a case study of relativistic astrophysics and gravitational physics data to show how management strategies can support computational reproducibility in High-Performance Computing. Data are the inputs and outputs of the numerical simulation model.

Data Management Plan for Women's Print History Project (1750 - 1830)

 Original Source
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; Simon Fraser University
This sample data management plan from the Alliance aims to create a comprehensive digital database of women's contributions to print culture from 1750 to 1830. It uses data collected from a variety of digital databases and print bibliographies and uses a metadata schema developed by the authors.

Migration of legacy data to new media formats for long-time storage and maximum visibility: Modern pollen data from the Canadian Arctic

 Original Source
University of Colorado Boulder; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data along a stretch of the Canadian Artic to establish a baseline level of pollen that will be compared to current modern levels of pollen so that the effect of climate change on the Artic and subarctic ecosystems can be ascertained.

Understanding and Designing Social Media for Civil Engagement

 Original Source
University College Dublin; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
