Research Data Management (RDM)

Data management plan (DMP): what, why, and how?

A data management plan (DMP) is a formal document that specifies what and how the research data will be handled for your research project and identifies the key actions for ethical and legal compliance and FAIR data production before, during, and after the project. 

A DMP is created before you start the research project, and is updated when necessary during and after the project.

You can use Hanken's DMP guidance and DMP template in DMPTuuli (next section below) to help you create and update a DMP.

The tool DMPTuuli offers a Finnish national central channel for guidance and support for making a DMP at all stages. It is free to use DMPTuuli.

You can find both Hanken's DMP guidance and Hanken's DMP template in DMPTuuli to help you make your DMP.

In DMPTuuli, you can share your DMP with your research partners. Under "Share," your DMP can be shared and sent directly to your research partners. You can choose to grant different permission to each of the partners.

You can also request comments and feedback on your DMP under "Request feedback."
