Data Management Plans: Support package for Norwegian higher education libraries
Writing a Data Management Plan (DMP) is a useful process for creating awareness and to support good data management routines in research projects, but can also be experienced as an administrative burden. Helpful guidance is essential. Our project created a comprehensive DMP support package with resources and guidance both for users and support personnel at Norwegian research institutions.
Main content
Archiving FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) research data builds on good data managment practices already from project start. Researchers meet requirements for writing Data Managment Plans (DMP) to support good data management routines and prepare for archiving of FAIR research data for reuse in research and innovation.
The project Data Management Plans: Support package for Norwegian higher education libraries created comprehensive resources to support both researchers and staff in research support roles. It thereby followed up on the recommendations from a collaborative DMP project by the University libraries in Bergen, Oslo, Trondheim and Tromsø (Report published in December 2022: UB-BOTT-samarbeid om datahåndteringsplaner: kartlegging og anbefalinger).
We welcome testers of the DMP questionnaire and invite particularly researchers from disciplines with specific needs to get in touch.
All text resources are available under an open license and are maintained through an open contribution approach. We invite the research data community to contribute to the further development of the resources.
