Data Management Planning

Research projects that expect to generate digital data should have a data management plan (DMP). Having a formal, written DMP will help researchers maintain their research data throughout the data lifecycle, including proper storage, backup, documentation, and preservation for long-term access.

We provide a number of resources and tools to help you create useful data management plans.
