A data management plan (DMP) is a formal document that outlines how you will handle your data both during your research, and after the project is completed. The goal of a data management plan is to consider the many aspects of data management, metadata generation, data preservation, and analysis before the project begins; this ensure that data are well-managed in the present, and prepared for preservation in the future.

The DMP Assistant is an online tool that Canadian university researchers may use to support the creation of their data management plan.
