UNU-FLORES Data Management Plan (DMP)

To establish effective management and preservation of institutional project data, UNU-FLORES has developed a  comprehensive Data Management Plan (DMP). This plan is designed to facilitate the implementation of data usage  processes, procedures, and policies, instilling confidence in the reliability and quality of the data being utilized. The  primary objective of the DMP is to ensure that institutional data adheres to the FAIR data principles, namely Findability,  Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability. By adhering to these principles, the DMP aims to enhance the visibility, transparency, accessibility, security, scalability, and long-term sustainability of UNU-FLORES's data. The DMP will greatly assist UNU-FLORES staff in effectively organizing, managing, storing, backing up, and sharing data. It will ensure that all project data is appropriately archived, thereby addressing knowledge gaps and ensuring continuity, especially during staff transitions. Additionally, the DMP plays a crucial role in ensuring the reproducibility of the produced and collected data. Overall, the DMP aims to enhance data availability and accessibility for a wide range of users, both within and outside of UNU-FLORES. This will increase the visibility of UNU-FLORES's data assets, making it easier for users to quickly and confidently find the right data for their analyses. The DMP aligns with the objectives of UNU-FLORES's Research  Programme on Resource Nexus Data, Analytics, and Informatics (AID).
