This document provides an overview of data management planning and the DMPTool. It discusses how data management is an increasingly important topic in research due to funding mandates requiring data sharing and management plans. The DMPTool is introduced as a free, online tool that guides researchers through creating data management plans and helps them meet funder requirements. Future improvements to the DMPTool are also outlined, including adding more detailed templates, collaborative editing, and an open API.

“Federal
agencies
investing
in
research
and
development
(more
than
$100
million
in
annual
expenditures)
must
have
clear
and
coordinated
policies
for
increasing
public
access
to
research
products.”
Back

13. 1. Maximize

2. Ensure
researchers
create
data

3. Allow
costs
for

4. Ensure

5. Ensure
researchers
comply

6. Promote
data
deposition
into
public

7. Develop
approaches
for
identification
and
attribution
of

8. Educate

24. There
is
a
social
contract
of
science:
we
have
an
obligation
to
ensure
dissemination,
validation,
&
advancement.
To
not
do
so
is
science
malpractice.
