What type of project is it? - Maybe Perhaps you are doing Laboratory and/or Field Work.
The funding you are applying for may also influence the content or structure of your DMP. Some funders have special requirements for a DMP as a mandatory part of the proposal (e.g., Horizon2020 Horizon 2020; more about Horizon here).
Funders, as well as institutions or publishers, may also have their own policies and guidelines for data management. You do not need to know all the details of these at the beginning of your data management planning, but it is important to know the requirements and to document them. If you are unsure which policies or guidelines you have to stick to, just let us know, w and we can support you in identifying them.
Step 2 - Describe Describe the data you will collect and your methods for data collection
Text When it is either text files, code, GIS, numeric and molecular data, or multimedia files – depending on your research questions and methods, you create different types of data. In environmental and ecological research, it is common to have more than one data type. Studies and projects are a complex composition of various methods. If you are an experienced researcher in your field, you might already have an idea of the data formats (e.g., .xlsx, .csv, .docx, .txt, .shp) you will create. In this case, you can specify your data types, even to the level of data formats. Please document data types and formats as detailed as possible when sending us your DMP support request. The more information we get, the better we can support you in your data management planning.

Working in environmental sciences often implies the collection of physical objects, which in some cases have to be archived as well. In GFBio, you have the possibility to submit and archive several kinds of objects related to your research data. By means of some basic questions on them (integrated in the DMPT), we can estimate if your physical objects can be archived in GFBio. Your DMP should also contain a notice if you are working with sequence data, as it requires special expertise and has to follow certain standards.

Conscientious data management implies licensing your data. GFBio supports the idea of open access to research data. But open access does not mean everyone can use your data at will. Data can (or must) be cited in the same manner as publications. Licenses, such as the Creative Commons licenses, define citation demands as well as further terms of use, for example, if the data may be transformed.
Step 5 - Outline the preservation and sharing of your data and metadata

Step 6 - Connect with us – GFBio DMP support
You can contact us anytime and ask your questions. In case of DMP support requests, we recommend filling in the DMPT as far as possible and then sending a support request (you will find a button at the end of the tool). We will then contact you to talk about open questions. In your support request, you can also inform us of any questions you have or the specific aspect of the DMP for which you require further information and support.
