Planning

What is data management planning?

Data management planning consists of defining the strategy that you plan to use for managing data and documentation generated within the project. It is about thinking upfront what’s the best way to avoid problems or unexpected costs related to data management, and set the conditions for your research data to achieve the highest possible impact in science, even after the end of the project.

Solutions regarding the handling of the data generated within a project is usually formalised in a Data Management Plan (DMP). A DMP is a document describing several aspects of the data management process which occur before, during and after the end of a project

Sharing examples of creating DMPs

An example based on the DMP format for Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Areas (A), for which a DMP is required in advance, is introduced below. For the latest format, please visit the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science website. Note that this example was created to apply for a KAKENHI (Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research), so, if creating a DMP for some other purpose, please confirm the requirements of the corresponding research grant.
