These topics on this page guide you to create a DMP:
1. After you sign into your account, you are popped to your dashboard. Click "Create Plan" to start creating your DMP.
2. Input the project title and select the primary funding organization, if available on DMPTool. Click "Create plan". The DMP template of the primary funding organization will be used for creating your DMP. You can also use the CUHK DMP Template.
If you would like the template of your funding agencies to be available on DMPTool, please contact the Library at data@cuhk.edu.hk.
The CUHK DMP Template is available with the following steps:
The content and guidance of the CUHK DMP Template appears in the "Write Plan" tab. More details about the topics covered in the Template are listed on this page.
Under the "Project Details" tab, you can input the details of your project.
You may choose from the full list under "Select Guidance" for guidance provided by institutions of your own choice. The selected guidance will be shown under the "Write Plan" tab.
If you use the CUHK DMP Template, the guidance from CUHK will be shown automatically, without the need to choose from the full list.
Guidance is shown under "Write Plan" tab:
1. To prepare for linking your DMPs to your research output(s) in the future, you can list your anticipated research output(s) by clicking "Add a research output" button under the "Research Outputs" tab.
2. Fill in details about your intended research output(s) in the following page.
The range of anticipated research output is wide.
3. You can click "Add a repository" to link the DMP to the repositories where you will deposit your research output(s). The CUHK Research Data Repository is also listed. Type "CUHK" in the keyword field to find it out.
4. You may initially assign a license to your research outputs. CC-BY-NC is recommended.
Under "Collaborators", you can add the details of contributors and invite collaborators. Keeping a good record of ORCID here can facilitate the DMPs to be associated with the contributors properly. ORCID of PIs will be shown in the final DMP.
Information of multiple contributors could be added. The role of the contributors could be data manager, principal investigator, or project administrator.
Download the plan in various formats with the selected content. The formats include: csv, html, pdf, text, docx, json. It is suggested to check also "project details coversheet".
When your plan is ready, you may share it with the CUHK community (Organization) or the worldwide DMPTool users (Public).
DMP IDs track connections between your DMP with research outputs such as datasets and articles. To register a "DMP ID" for your plan, you have to complete the followings:
1. answer at least 50% of questions
2. identify your funder under the "Project Details" tab, for instance:
3. link your DMPTool account to your ORCID via your DMPTool "3rd party applications" page
4. plan is not a mock project for testing, practice, or educational purposes
Once the above steps are satisfied, you can click the Register button to register an ID for your plan. The record of the DMP will be added to your ORCID profile.
