ManagementWhat is the DMP Tool,
why use it,and how?

Brief Overview of the DMP Tool• http://DMPtool.org• Meetings began January 2011 in response to increasing
requirements• 8 initial partners (see below) provided in-kind leg work• Based in the University of California Curation Center then & now• v1 released October 2011• v2 released May 2014• Currently 176 partners and growing
The DMP Tool…
Centralizes the current data management requirements of major
research funding agenciesProvides a CMS-like experience for writing/updating/collaborating on a data management plan
Supports data management planning through templates, examples,
information resources, and moreProvides an open RESTful API so software developers can create web services from DMP Tool data
The DMP Tool does not…
store,share,review,access, etc., research data
Data management plan?• a comprehensive plan of how research data will be managed
throughout the lifecycle of the research project.• often submitted as part of grant application• includes a description of how data will be shared (or why it
can’t)• typically 2-3 pages
What goes into a data management plan?
Varies from project to project and funder to funder.
Funders require less info than data management best practices.
In general DMPs describe:• the type(s) of data to be generated• relevant data and metadata standards• policies for access, sharing, and use• archiving and preservation
Advantages of data management planning
• Good science (reproducible results)• Transparency and accountability• Gain competitive edge in grant competition• Increase the impact of scholarship by making data citable and
reusable• Helps to minimize data loss, be more efficient• Helps with the complexity of data (infrastructure, policy, standards,
practices, technology, etc.)• Required by funder/institution/publisher
The larger#RDMcontext
“The OSTP hereby directs each Federal agency [...] to develop a plan to support increased public access to the results of research funded by the Federal Government.”
“DATA MANAGEMENT!”
“DATASHARING!”
“PUBLICACCESS!”
Different agency language, same meaning

Also important is the global momentum towards open science and
access
