Aalto University DMP Training Worksheet v1.1

This is an updated version of the worksheet originally created for the webinar Data Management Plans - A 'How-to', organized on 6.10. 2022 by Aalto University as part of a webinar series on Research Data Management and Open Science. The webinar recording is accessible on Youtube.

The worksheet is based on the General Finnish DMP template accessible at: Tuuli-project. (2021). General Finnish DMP guidance. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3629371. For projects funded by a specific research funding body, please follow the template and instructions of your funder. The information in this worksheet can be adapted to fit funder-specific DMPs.

The aim of this worksheet is to help the user get started with their Data Management Plan by following a check list of some basic topics with links to additional resources. It is not exhaustive nor does it reflect the diversity of discipline-specific practices. The content is focused on Aalto University services and guidelines, users affiliated with other institutions are encouraged to seek alternatives and/or additional advice from their home institution's research data management support services.
