Sample Data Management Sharing Plan Templates

“Deadlines are coming fast, and many of you have chosen to use DMPTool to write your plans. Whether or not you use this tool, one of the things we want to encourage you to be mindful of is that your Data Management & Sharing Plan needs to fit your project. Sample plans are available but you are expected to customize the language to reflect the requirements of your specific project. Be mindful of copying and pasting language from sample plans that don’t accurately describe your data management and sharing strategies.

If you are having trouble coming up with accurate descriptions in your plan, please feel free to reach out to the Research Data & Digital Scholarship (RDDS) group within the Penn Libraries at LibraryRDDS@pobox.upenn.edu. The sooner the better as the deadlines are quickly approaching.”
