Data Management Plan

The EDJ's DMP should provide information on: 1.Data set description: The PI will provide a detailed description, including the scientific focus and technical approach, to allow association of their data sets with specific research themes. 2.Standards and metadata: The PI will describe the protocols and standards used to structure their data (i.e. fully reference the metadata) so that other scientists can make an assessment and reproduce the dataset. If available, to provide a reference to the community data standards that their data conform to and that make them interoperable with other data sets of similar type. 3.Name and persistent identifier for the data sets:The PI will plan to use depositories that will provide a unique and persistent identification (an identifier) of for their data sets and a stable resolvable link to where their datasets can be directly accessed. Submission to a public depository normally provides this; many institutional depositories provide similar services. 4.Curation and preservation methodology: The PI will to provide information on the standards that will be used to ensure the integrity of their data sets and the period during which they will be maintained, as well as how they will be preserved and kept accessible in the longer term. If available, to provide a reference to the public data depository in which their data will reside. 5.Data sharing methodologyThe PI will provide information on how their data sets can be accessed, including the type of license under which they can be accessed and re-used, and information on any restrictions that may apply. It is also important to specify and justify the timing of data sharing. This could be, for example, as soon as possible after the data collection, or at the end of the project. For data underlying publications it could be, for example, at the time of publication or pre-publication.
