Create a Research Data Management Plan (DMP)

Navigate the DMP

Move between DMP sections

• Each heading on the left-hand menu is a section of the DMP. A description of each section can be found at the top of each page.
• You can also use the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons to move through DMP sections.

Save and close the DMP

• Save your progress using the SAVE or SAVE AND CLOSE buttons. In general, saving as you progress is a good habit. Closing without saving will result in all new information being lost.

Navigating the DMP form

Mandatory fields

• There are a small number of mandatory fields indicated with an asterisk ( * ).
• If you click SAVE or SAVE and CLOSE without completing these fields, you will receive a warning message about incomplete mandatory fields. You can click a field name to jump to DMP tab where the mandatory information is missing.
• If you click on your browser's back option instead of using the PREVIOUS button, the browser will exit you from the DMP.

Entering information

On the right of each section is where you will find the fields you need to complete.

Work through the different sections and complete as much information as possible. Depending on your research project and progress, you may not need to fill out every field.
