A Research Data Management Plan for Engineering Research

This department-level Research Data Management Plan is offered as a starting point for engineering departments establishing their own policies and procedures for data management at the project level. It recommends how projects should use data management plans: where they should be stored, how open they should be, expectations for review and revision, and so on. It provides a template for project data management plans. Lastly, it recommends tools that can be used for data management, and additional guidance that may be consulted.
