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.

CAREER: Probing Function in Paramagnetic Sodium Electrodes

Original Source

University of California, Santa Barbara; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP will collect compositional, electrochemical property, and structural data to investigate their effects on the rate of electron transfer and structural stability of such Na-ion cathode materials.

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.
