plan.research-data.no is a knowledge resource to support Data Management planning at Norwegian research institutions. The editorial teams consists of members from the University of Bergen, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the University of Oslo, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, PhD-On-Track and ELIXIR Norway. Please see the Contributors page for an overview of all current and past members. We welcome contributions from the community - please follow the Contributor guide.
The resource originates from the 1-year project Data management plans: support package for Norwegian higher education libraries (2023-2024), which followed up on the recommendations from a collaborative DMP project by the University libraries in Bergen, Oslo, Trondheim and Tromsø (Report published in December 2022: UB-BOTT-samarbeid om datahåndteringsplaner: kartlegging og anbefalinger). The developed DMP Support Package consists of a modular DMP questionnaire and accompanying information pages for researchers, complemented by resources for support personnel. All resources were co-created through an open contribution approach.
