A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a document that describes the life cycle of research data from collection through the analyses and reporting to the archiving of data. Writing a DMP at the start of the project can be helpful in the planning and execution of the research. A DMP can save time and resources in the long run, enhance data security and minimize the risk of data loss, as well as ensure research integrity and reproducibility.
