Data management plans

På svenska

Your Faculty Library provides support services for data management plans. Contact us for advice and practical support on how you plan to handle your data throughout the life cycle of a project, from acquisition to archiving.

DMP Online is Lund University's system for creating and updating data management plans. The tool provides structure and support for your work process: you can easily organise data, materials and documents.

How to get started with DMPonline:

  1. Go to the DMPonline website (Lund University) and select 'Sign in with your institutional credentials'. DMPonline website (Lund University). Log in using your Lucat ID and strong authentication.
  2. Select 'Create plan' from the 'My Dashboard' menu.

Funder requirements

Funding bodies increasingly require grant holders to create and implement data management plans (DMPs), for example EU. The Swedish funding bodies, Swedish Research Council (VR) and Formas demand that projects awarded grants as of 2019, have a DMP in place already at the start of the project. The plan must meet the requirements from Science Europé, and all data and meta data produced as part of a funded project must be made publicly available providing this complies with the Personal Data Act. Riksbankens Jubileumsfond has recommendations for both DMP and access to research data. For Horizon 2020, there are requirements for DMP and requirements for making research data available.

Contact us if you have questions about requirements from funders.
