Data Management Plans (DMP)

A data management plan (DMP) or a data management and sharing (DMS) plan is a formal document that outlines how data will be handled during and after a research project. Grant funding agencies often require DMPs. Regardless if required, DMPs are a best practice for research data projects. 

A DMP or DMS includes a description of the research data and details on how the data will be managed and shared, including accessed, preserved, distributed and reused. 

DMP Tool

The DMP Tool has templates for creating plans. It also has funder requirements.

Texas Data Repository

Texas Data Repository (TDR) serves as a platform for publishing and archiving the University's research data. It was established to help UT Austin's research community meet data sharing requirements, to facilitate data citation, to promote collaboration, to enable reproducibility, and to encourage reuse.

Who may upload content to TDR?

Any faculty, researcher, student, or staff member of UT Austin may upload content. 

How do I get access to upload?

If you want to upload your own data, you just need to login to TDR and you should be able to start uploading materials. If you want to upload to an existing dataset created by someone else, you will need to contact that dataset owner for permission.

For more information about how to upload data and functionality of TDR, please see the User Guide.
