Many funding agencies have begun to require researchers to submit data management and sharing plans as part of the grant application. For some academic journals, data sharing is now a requirement for publication. To create sustainable, high-quality data that can be shared with the research community, researchers need to plan ahead.
GREO recommends that researchers use the Data Management Portage Assistant to guide the planning process.
Data Management Portage Assistant is a bilingual tool for preparing data management plans. The tool follows best practices in data stewardship and walks researchers step-by-step through key questions about data management.
You can access the tool by visiting the Portage Network.
