The DMP Tool is a free, open-source, application maintained by the California Digital Library that helps researchers create data management plans (DMPs). These plans are required by many funding agencies as part of the grant proposal submission process. The DMP Tool provides a click-through wizard for creating a DMP that complies with funder requirements. It also has direct links to funder websites, help text for answering questions, and data management best practices resources (adapted from dmptool.org).
Your research data are important. Managing, storing, organizing and sharing your research data requires time and effort, but will increase the visibility and impact of your research.
Research data management is the compilation of small practices that make your data easier to find, easier to understand, less likely to be lost, and more likely to be usable during a project or ten years later.
