Data management planning

A data management plan (DMP) is a document, usually created at the onset of a research project, to describe how data will be collected, documented, stored, and shared. A DMP is a living document that requires regular review, and therefore should be updated throughout the lifecycle of a research project. Creating a DMP is a best practice and can help researchers organize their research process, determine resource and infrastructure requirements, implement appropriate documentation and file formats for data storage and accessibility, and mitigate potential security and privacy concerns.
