A template for a simple data management plan, suitable for postgraduate research projects. This covers five key areas: what data will be produced, how it will be documented, how it will be stored and backed up, legal and ethical issues, and plans for long-term archiving and sharing.

For other data management plan templates, see the DCC’s DMPonline tool. Templates for major UK funding bodies are available, plus a generic template, which can be used if you are creating the plan for your own benefit, rather than as part of a funding application.
