Step by step towards your DMP creation
Step 1 - Get involved with data management planning and data management plans (DMPs)
You have just heard about DMPs and now want to write your own? If you have never considered data management planning before, it might be good to get some general information.
Data management planning is the starting point in the data life cycle (DLC). Data management plans (DMPs) are ideally established at this point. But a DMP is not only created at the beginning of a project, but it is also a living document, and you should return to it at each step of the data life cycle. Ideally, the DMP should be revisited often throughout the lifetime of a project to ensure proper data documentation and management. You can think of a DMP as an addition to the data policy of a larger umbrella project.
Have a look at our training materials, in which you can find fact sheets and education modules: GFBio_Emodule_Propose_151123 (as .ppt file) on data management planning and other aspects of the data life cycle. Also, have a look at the best practices linked in our training materials.
