Unlocking Researcher Perspectives on Data Management Plans
Delve into the world of Data Management Plans (DMPs) as researchers' readiness to share and expose DMP content is explored. Discover why many researchers lack DMPs, the motivations behind creating one, and the role of funders in driving DMP compliance. Learn about the challenges and aspirations researchers face regarding DMPs based on insightful studies and surveys.

Researchers perspectives- are they prepared to share & expose DMP content? Angus Whyte P-11 Berlin, 22 March 2018 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
Main points Most researchers don t have to DMP, and many don t even know what one is But some researchers want to DMP, and their priorities are more relevant support High % are prepared to share them Some already are but Who? Why? Why not? What helps? Simms S, Jones S, Mietchen D, Miksa T (2017) Machine-actionable data management plans (maDMPs). Research Ideas and Outcomes 3: e13086. https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.3.e13086 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
Lets keep in mind Funders increasingly have policy expectation that investigators produce and/or submit a DMP But most funders do not require a DMP to be produced or submitted 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
Most researchers dont DMP Only 20% of respondents had prepared a data management plan 2300 respondents to Springer Nature survey reported in Digital Science State of Open Data Report 2017 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
Some dont know what a DMP is Only a quarter of survey respondents have actually used a DMP .while a quarter do not even know what a Data Management Plan is. https://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/pdf/os_skills_wgreport_final.pdf 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
On the other handmore would like to one third has not used a DMP but would like to Fig 2.6 Use of Data Management Plan 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
Good practice beats compliance as driver ? The most common reasons for having a data management plan are that it constitutes good research practice (72%) and that it is required by the project funder (53%) 1,185 researchers in 6 UK institutions Johnnson et al. 2016 Available: https://zenodo.org/record/177856#.WrAbMYLLiRt 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
Priorities of those who DMP imply sharing Relevant standards, examples, guidance for my discipline Integration Notification Publication OpenAIRE survey of European Commission H2020 DMP template users (n=289) 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
High % prepared to share Around half according to the same OpenAIRE survey 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
Some researchers already are sharing DMPs Journals e.g. RIO Journal, BMC Research Notes Repositories- Zenodo EC pilot to support open reviews DMPtool public collection 04/06/2025 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall CC BY-SA 4.0
