ANU uses the DMPTool service for the creation and management of data management plans.

Using DMPTool

Click on Sign In, select Option 1 and type in Australian National University (ANU). 

ANU recommends the use of the default DMPTool template - tick the box next to No funder associated with this plan or my funder is not listed on the first page of the Create a New Plan template and click on Create Plan.

To complete the plan you will need to consider the following:

• What data will you collect or create?
• How will the data be collected or created?

• What documentation and metadata will accompany the data?

• How will you manage any ethical issues?
• How will you manage copyright and Intellectual Property Rights (IP/IPR) issues?

• How will the data be stored and backed up during the research?
• How will you manage access and security?

• Which data are of long-term value and should be retained, shared, and/or preserved?
• What is the long-term preservation plan for the dataset?

• How will you share the data?
• Are any restrictions on data sharing required?

• Who will be responsible for data management?
• What resources will you require to deliver your plan?
