The beta version of the DMP Online tool launched in March 2010 and was showcased at the JISC Conference in April. The DCC’s data management planning tool draws on funders’ data-related requirements to help researchers create, develop and export customisable data management plans at the grant application stage and throughout the project’s lifetime.
