Provide a copy of the most recent version of your data management
plan
The first component that we will add to the package in our list of publication package components is the data management plan.
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
Downloadtab. - Provide the document with a good file name (use the three
principles for file naming described in this presentation) and save
it in the
documentationfolder. - 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?
