ReDBox community is discussing DMP online like tools

The ReDBox community is discussing DMP online like tools as an extension to ReDBox. Several Unis are talking about sharing developer resources to build a common tool. UWS, Deakin, Newcastle, UTS...

In the beginning...

Data Management Planning tools are a relatively new topic for ANDS to tackle, but for our overseas colleagues they have been around now for a few years.

A number of projects and universities have been tackling the challenges of creating an online tool and here are the best known and most highly visible:

This online tool has been developed by The DCC
Here is the guide: DMPonline guide




This tool originates from University of California Digital Library  
It is based on an earlier version of DMPonline
The work was completed by University of California Curation Centre
Here is the guide: DMPTool guide

Finally, David Shotton at the University of Oxford is busily working on the Oxford DMPonline project

No online tool has been published so far, but the published thinking and analysis has greatly influenced or proposed tool. [the blog explains this with great clarity]

Both in the UK and the USA researchers have to prepare and submit a data management plan with their research grant applications. This is quite different to the situation here in Australia where the idea of a plan is only now being more actively considered by the major grant funding agencies.

Nevertheless, we are preparing for the day when a data management plan may be required either at the time of submission or later once a grant has been awarded.

Welcome...

As we mentioned at our recent surgeries we hope to adapt the latest version of DMPonline to make it available for you.
Our localised version will have only 21 baseline data questions, but this can be expanded by you to meet your needs.
We hope this blog will help you understand what we are doing and our rational. We will post our thinking and results so you can follow our progress and ask many questions as we go.
With your help we will make DMP21 available and ready for you to customise and use at your institution,.
As researchers create their data management plans you will be able to use their responses to advise and assist them.

This blog's navigation bar shows the coverage of the questions in DMP21 and contains the actual questions we hope to use.
These are the primary topic areas where researchers will contribute their information. They also become the areas of advice that researchers may require more help and assistance with as well as more detailed specific advice relating to each question.
We aim to provide sound generic advice and information. DMP21 allowing institutions to add their own advice and local links to resources.
