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 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.

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

This DMP will collect data from social media as well as interviews to investigate how "users leverage social media to influence public and social policy."
