Your data management plan will follow specific guidelines from the funding agency, but the main elements that are common to virtually all DMPS are:
- Roles and Responsibilities (who manages what data and code)
- Data Types and Documentation (file formats, metadata, and data descriptions)
- Storage and Backup (storage solutions and backup procedures)
- Preservation (long-term data preservation after research is completed)
- Reuse and Licensing (how others can access and use the data)
- Costs: (financial planning for data management)
