The document summarizes the Data Management Planning Tool (DMPTool), an online tool that helps researchers create data management plans. It discusses the goals of providing a simple way for researchers to create plans for their funders and offering institution-specific resources. The summary describes the tool's increasing participation from universities and future plans to improve functionality, sustainability, and community involvement through grants and an open source model.
Data management plans existed long before the NSF started requiring them. DMPs have inherent value despite their being relatively unknown to researchers until now. Proper, thorough data management plans are potentially a major time saver and a huge asset for the project. In this webinar, we will cover how to go beyond funder requirements and develop more thorough data DMPs The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative requires an extensive data management plan for projects it funds; we will hear about their efforts and how they are planning to use the DMPTool going forward.

By contrast to often celebratory accounts of teaching contemporary digital media literacies, my thesis describes how the technological and material inequalities between students at a government and an independent school became mirrored in digital portfolios.

Themes covered:
Networked Social Media in Learning and Teaching (contexts: higher education; medicine and healthcare, including patient education and clinicians’ collaboration and CPD—Continuing Professional Development).
Networked Social Media in Research (both as a primary focus for research and as tools/enablers in research).
The above two themes are interrelated and frequently overlap in research-led higher education institutions (research-informed teaching and practice).

Introduction to DMPTool2. Originally released in 2011, the DMPTool provides a free step-by-step wizard, detailed guidance, and links to general and institutional resources to walk a researcher through the process of generating a comprehensive data management plan tailored to specific funder requirements.
This webinar will demonstrate some of the original features of the tool, as well as the new features in DMPTool2, which include institutional customizations and researcher collaborations.

7. When?
Inspiration at IDCC 2010 by the DMP Online:
http://dmponline.dcc.ac.uk/
First call in January 2011
First release in October 2011
(through in-kind contributions – no external funding!)
8. Goals of the DMPTool
I. To provide researchers a simple way to
create a DMP for their funding agency
• Questions asked by the agency
• Additional explanation/context provided by
the agency
• Links to the agency website for policies, help,
guidance
9. Goals of the DMPTool
II. To provide researchers with DMP
information from their local institution
• Allow use of local login via Shibboleth
• Resources and services to help them manage
data
• Help text for specific questions
• Suggested answers to questions; easy to cut-N-
paste
• News & events related to data management
on campus
24. Increasing Participation

26. How do librarians get involved?
• Work with your Office of Research and Library
to get involved
• Configure Shibboleth login
• Customize the tool by adding links to local
resources, help text, suggested answers, contact
information
• Blog for local news and events
28. Governance and Sustainability
Unveiling a new governance plan
Formalizing a steering group
– clear process for joining, decision making,
roles and responsibilities
DMPTool stays free
– covering development and management
costs through voluntary in-kind, grant, or
cash contributions of Partners
29. Training through IMLS Grant
Improving Data
Stewardship with the
DMPTool
1. Provide librarians with the tools and
resources to claim the data management
education space.
2. Promote the use of and improve upon the
current DMPTool.
30. Improvement via A.P. Sloan Grant
Data Management Planning
Tool 2: Responding to the
Community
1. Build community of researchers, institutions, funders, &
libraries
2. Expand functionality of the current DMPTool for users &
administrators
3. Release the DMPTool2 and provide training/documentation
4. Create an open-source community of DMPTool contributors
31. New Areas of Development
New Function Benefit
Granular modeling of institutions Institutions can be represented in any or all of three roles: as a funder, as a
researcher’s affiliation, and/or as an institution with its own DMP requirements.
Role-based user authorization Users can hold various roles: plan creators, collaborators, institutional/organizational
administrators, and tool administrators, with differing authorizations and capabilities.
DMP life cycle management Users can track the changes as a plan passes through the major stages of its life
cycle, including creation, editing, submission, evaluation and approval or rejection,
revision and publication.
Organizational planning activities Institutions/organizations can define and implement planning activities, with
consideration of local resources and needs.
Enhanced search and browse Users can both perform keyword searches and browse publicly available plans,
providing for enhanced discovery
Institutional branding Two aspects: (1) hosting neutrality of the DMPTool, that is, removing association of
the tool with the California Digital Library via the current domain name dmp.cdlib.org;
and (2) increased online institutional branding within the tool’s user interface
Search and reporting for business Institutional administrators can mine data on plans, with the ability to filter plans
intelligence based on their state, users, institutional role and other relevant plan properties.
Advanced administrative interface Administrators can easily add new funders, requirements, and institutional resources
via the enhanced configuration interface
Collaborative plan creation Multiple users across institutions can access and/or edit the same plan.
Open API The tool will be more easily integrated into local automated workflows.
32. Final Takeaways
1. Potential to be a data management focal point
for the community
2. Can function as the coordinating mechanism for
an institution
3. Can be used to scale services at both big and
small institutions, with or without dedicated
staff
