This webpage is the working platform for the 1-year project (October 2023-2024) Data Management Plans: Support package for Norwegian higher education libraries. All project results are available under an open license and text resources are maintained through an open contribution and maintenance process. A translation of the user-directed resources to Norwegian is planned at a later timepoint.

About data management planning

Purpose of a Data Management Plan

What is a Data Management Plan (DMP) and why should you write one?

Guiding questions pre-start/ pre-award

A set of guiding questions to identify data management needs and challenges in a project. It is beneficial to take research data management into consideration already ahead of starting a research project, particularly if applying for external funding.

A set of DMP questionnaires/templates adapted to different user groups was implemented as discipline-agnostic knowledge model in the DMP-tool Data Stewardship Wizard.

Accompanying information resources

Information pages accompanying each chapter in the DMP questionnaire to support researchers with filling out a DMP.

For supporting staff

Knowledge base for support staff

The knowledge base for support personnel includes annotation of the Science Europe Practical Guide to the International Alignment of Research Data Management in the Norwegian context.

Conceptual DMP reflections

The project work involved conceptual reflections on DMPs which we believe can be of value to other national and international DMP projects.

Project background

The project follows up on a recommendation on better and aligned Data Management Planning guidance in a collaborative project by the University libraries in Bergen, Oslo, Tromsø and Trondheim.

The report UB-BOTT-samarbeid om datahåndteringsplaner: kartlegging og anbefalinger was published in December 2022.

An update Oppdatering på UB-BOTT-samarbeid om datahåndteringsplaner was published in April 2024.
