Institutional Support for Data Management Plans: Five Case Studies

  • Conference paper

Metadata and Semantic Research (MTSR 2020)

Abstract

Researchers are being prompted by funders and institutions to expose the variety of results of their projects and to submit a Data Management Plan as part of their funding requests. In this context, institutions are looking for solutions to provide support to research data management activities in general, including DMP creation. We propose a collaborative approach where a researcher and a data steward create a DMP, involving other parties as required. We describe this collaborative method and its implementation, by means of a set of case studies that show the importance of the data steward in the institution. Feedback from researchers shows that the DMP are simple enough to lead people to engage in data management, but present enough challenges to constitute an entry point to the next level, the machine-actionable DMP.
