Many research funding bodies require submission of a\u00a0data management plan (DMP) (or similar document) with a funding bid. They are also a valuable document for any project as they set the scent for the collection and management of research data throughout the full life cycle of the project.<\/p>\n
The Digital Curation Centre’s DMPonline<\/a> is an online tool researchers can use to create and maintain a DMP. The University has developed\u00a0guidance embedded in DMPonline to aid researchers in drafting a DMP. You will also find the instruction offered by the Digital Curation Centre very useful when completing\u00a0a DMP.<\/p>\n You\u00a0can Sign up with your university email address and a password of your choice. IT Services have advice on creating a secure password (http:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/services\/it\/reg\/guidance\/<\/a>). When your DMPonline accout has been created you can link this to your university credentials. DCC have produced a DMPonline screencast<\/a> to show how the tool works, this is also featured on DMPonline’s homepage.<\/p>\n A previous post highlights some useful resources to assist in the creation of\u00a0a data management plan (Research data management planning<\/a>).<\/p>\n
