Data Management Plan Tool
To create a DMP, the JMU Library recommends using the California Digital Library's DMPTool.
Visit https://dmptool.org/ and click "Get Started" to select James Madison University and log in with your JMU e-ID and password.
JMU has provided customized "suggested response text" to each template, relating to data storage options on campus. Researchers can then copy and paste the relevant institutional information to their plan.
If you have any questions please contact Yasmeen Shorish, the Science Librarian, at shorisyl@jmu.edu or see the JMU library website for answers and links to additional information.
