The first component that we will add to the package in our list of publication package components is the data management plan.

Checklist

Steps to take

  • You should simply provide a copy of the most recent version of your data management plan.
  • Make sure it is saved in a sustainable file format. This can be a .pdf or .odt file. If you have your most recent version in dmponline, you can download it to your computer in pdf or an alternative format using the Download tab.
  • Provide the document with a good file name (use the three principles for file naming described in this presentation) and save it in the documentation folder.
  • It is also a good moment to take a look at the contents of your data management plan: is it still up to date? Do you need to take more steps to put it into practice?
