Importance of Data Management Plans for Researchers

Researchers must have a Data Management Plan (DMP) to ensure that valuable data is accessible in the future, aiding both their team and the broader community. By planning ahead and documenting data throughout its lifecycle, researchers can save time and increase the visibility of their work. A well-structured DMP addresses project descriptions, data collection methods, appropriate standards, legal and ethical considerations, data sharing policies, long-term preservation strategies, and assigns responsibilities for data management. For assistance, contact your librarian or the Data Management Task Force.
