Making DMPs Meaningful
It’s not clear what will become of data management plans with respect to revision, compliance, enforcement, and future iterations of the requirement. We are organizing a workshop to freely discuss ideas about how to ensure data management plans are relevant and useful. Potential questions for discussion:
- What do funders hope will emerge from DMP requirements?
- What do libraries, repositories, and other stakeholders want from DMP requirements?
- Are there plans in place for DMP compliance?
- How can stakeholders work together to ensure DMP compliance?
- What are the kinds of things funders need from DMPs to support the requirement?
- What will reporting look like for data management planning?
