Data Management Plan
The Data Management Plan (DMP) outlines the strategies for managing data within the project and underscores the crucial role of data in advancing the project’s objectives. By adhering to principles of FAIR data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable), the DMP delineates procedures for handling, sharing, and preserving research data throughout and beyond the project’s duration. Key components include protocols for data handling during and post-project, identification of data types, application of methodologies and standards, provision for open access to data, and strategies for data curation and preservation.
