Data Management Plans

Study the Data Management Plans section of the US Geological Survey. Notice the templates and examples that are provided. How would you evaluate these data management plans? How could you apply one of the templates to develop your own DMP for a situation from your professional experience?

Now that you can describe and explain DMP, let's cover a few careers within the data management field.


Introduction

Planning for a project involves making decisions about data resources and potential products. A Data Management Plan (DMP) describes data that will be acquired or produced during research; how the data will be managed, described, and stored, what standards you will use, and how data will be handled and protected during and after the completion of the project.
