A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a formal and evolving document that outlines the practices, processes, and strategies of the data you expect to acquire or generate during the course of a research project.
By completing a DMP you will be working towards:
• Setting out consistent strategies for how your data will be managed
• Identifying strengths and weaknesses in your current practices
• Preparing the data for future reuse, preservation, and sharing
• Reducing the overall cost of research by increasing project efficiencies
