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.

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

Original Source

Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Waterloo

This DMP example 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 Ecohydrology Research Group

Original Source

Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Waterloo

This is a data management plan example created by the Ecohydrology Research Group at the University of Waterloo. It presents a sample DMP for research work within the field involving laboratory, chemical, biological and numerical data.

Data Management Plan Template: Studying Molecular Interactions

Original Source

University of New Brunswick

This is a template DMP for use in projects that combine scientific methods with computer simulations/modelling to study molecular interactions.

Data Management Plan Template: Water Quality Research

Original Source

University of Waterloo; McMaster University; The Gordon Foundation; University of Saskatchewan; Wilfrid Laurier University

This is a template DMP for oceanographic research to generate water quality data.

Designing Low-Temperature Synthesis Methods for 2-Dimensional Oxide Perovskites

Original Source

University of Waterloo

This DMP aims to collect photographs, Raman data, and lab data to develop new and efficient techniques for synthesizing two-dimensional perovskites at lower temperatures.
