Sample Data Management Plans
This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.
Neil Chue Hong recently pointed us at DataONE's Data Management Planning page, which has two really useful things:
- a link to DMPTool, which will help you build a data management plan for your project; and
- five sample data management plans, all written for the NSF, which people can use as reference models.
Data management is something we deliberately left out of "Best Practices" paper—it would have increased the paper's length by half again—but what we should put together is some sample code management plans. Any volunteers?
