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.

This DMP aims to collect data on text and data mining (TDM) laws in Europe in order to reduce barriers for researchers to use these datasets.
University of Nebraska - Lincoln

This outlines best practices to include when writing DMPs. It shares examples of good language included in DMPs to highlight the importance of specificity in describing privacy and licensing, procedures, roles and responsibilities, data sharing, metadata, citation, and long-term archiving. It also gives examples of bad language in DMPs to demonstrate poor data management strategies.
