Research funders around the world are realizing the importance of data management planning. Increasingly research public funders globally, now require data management plans to be submitted with research proposals as a condition of funding support. This is also true in South Africa where research funders such as the National Research Foundation (NRF) already require researchers to provide a data management plan as part of their application for research funding. A data management plan can be described as a formal document that outlines how data will be dealt with by the researcher before, during and after the research has been conducted.
The DIRISA Data Management Planning (DMP) Tool has been developed to assist South African Researchers to create data management plans that align with the requirements of funders such as the National Research Foundation (NRF). This presentation will give a brief demo of the tool.
