Data Management Plan
Data Management Plan
Data Management Plan
It is a document describing the activities performed by researchers at every stage of their work with scientific data. The purpose of DMP is to depict which data were obtained or generated , how the research team is going to manage them, how they will be described, analysed, stored and which tools will be used to publish and archive the data after finalizing the project.
We encourage you to read the materials developed by our Section:
Research data
These are a variety of materials collected and produced in the course of conducting scientific research. Defined as recorded materials of a factual nature that are widely recognized by the scientific community as necessary for evaluating the results of scientific research.
These may include, but are not limited to: numerical data, text documents, notes, questionnaires, survey results, audio and video recordings, photographs, database content, software, results of computer simulations, methodological protocols and laboratory observations.
Opening the data
Research data should be as open as possible and as closed as necessary.
National Science Center position:
Open Access should be granted in case of the data that are basic for the published results in order to enable their verification. The data should be made available at the moment of publishing. In other respects the decision is up to the researcher, who should consider any formal and legal limitations or other depicted in the justification.
European Commission position:
The European Comission is convinced that access or using the information obtained in the process financed by public money should be free of charge. Both European companies and citizens should be able to fully benefit from it.
The data should meet the requirements of FAIR DATA:
F - Findable- possible to be found by people and algorithms
A - Accessible- available
I- Interoperable – possible to be read by people and algorithms
R - Reusable- possible to be used again
It is recommended that data are published in a certified data repository.
