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.

AKRO/SF: Catch Accounting System (CAS)

Original Source

Alaska Regional Office (AKRO); NOA Fisheries

This DMP was created for the Catch Accounting System, which aims to create total catch estimates for the groundfish fisheries. This DMP outlines the collection of digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, and tabular data.

Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Light-Matter Interactions

Original Source

University of Montreal

This DMP aims to collect calculations, simulations, publications, presentations, and experimental design work. The goal of the project is to comprehend and control the quantum dynamics of light-induced excited states in condensed matter.

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 Historical Canadian Census Data

Original Source

Digital Research Alliance of Canada; Western University, Queen's University

This is an example data management plan from the Alliance which aims to create a database of digital products from the Canadian Census of Population. The database includes text base data collected from Statistics Canada.
