Overview of project
• Goal: streamline the process to produce a
credible and high-quality plan for managing data
• Eight institutions coming together
• Developing a flexible online tool, DMP Tool, to
help researchers generate data management
plans
• Leveraging the work of the Digital Management
Plan Online from the DCC
• Tool will have multiple phases
Driving forces behind the effort
1. Funding
2. “The alternative, a “go it alone” strategy, will
only lead to dangerous isolation… yielding
idiosyncratic, expensive, and ultimately
unsustainable infrastructures.”
3. Leverage expertise(New Roles for New Times, ARL, 2011)
4. Allow researchers to focus on research (and
benefit from managing data)
The what and why of a DMP
Components of a DMP
The value of a DMP
1. Content Characteristics: the types of
data, samples, physical collections,
software…
2. Standards: the standards to be used for
data and metadata format and content
3. Access: policies for access and sharing ,
provisions for appropriate protection of
privacy, confidentiality, security,
intellectual property…
4. Sharing: policies and provisions for re-use,
re-distribution
5. Archiving: plans for archiving data,
samples, and other research products,
and for preservation of access to them.
National funding agencies have data sharing
polices
Scientific journals (Nature, Science, and PLoS)
have sharing requirements.
Distributing research results may increase
citations (Piwowar et al., 2007)
A shared, common data set may help
researchers collaborate and accelerate
discoveries (NY Times, 2010).
Sharing research products is increasingly
important (Nature, 2009; Science, 2011).
For the researcher:
• helps organize data
• cultivate quality and efficiency
• help with preserving and sharing data

A look at the DMP Tool
• Will produce an editable document for submission to a
funding agency
• Phase 1 will provide foundation for future releases
• Accommodate versions as funding requirements change
• Open source -- bitbucket
• Allows partner institutions to customize
• An emphasis on delivering guidance and help
• Four types of users / administrators:

What a researcher can do
1. Establish an account
2. View sample plans
3. Preview funder requirements
4. Create, save, edit, publish plan
5. View, use, past plans
6. Use help (generic and
institution specific)
7. View news and latest changes

Discussion / challenges
• These are early days
• Building a tool that will
satisfy the local and
general
• Bringing all the
stakeholders together
• Funder participation
• When will the tool be
available?
• How to participate?
