"DMPonline is a fantastic tool. I have customised DMPonline with Stirling specific advice, mostly to give Stirling specific help on storage and backups. 

We have created a specific drive for researchers for them to save and share their current research data with their research collaborators – we named it the X drive. This was launched back in April 2017 and has helped us tackle concerns regarding the safety of cloud storage and the dreaded GDPR issues.  Currently we have over 126 personal users with 53 group projects utilising just under 20 TB of data."

"A positive outcome of the implementation of DMPonline at UoB have been the opportunities to work with research colleagues within the academy.  Research Partner professionals have taken advantage of the template feature to help discipline specific researchers in the grant application process. As we work to encourage colleagues to embrace ‘open research’ this engagement is a great step on that road."

"Whilst we were initially disappointed that the DCC decided to go to a subscription model for DMP online and start charging, we understood the reasons why and were pleased to see that the DCC were investing in the product for the long term.  If anything, this change in funding model made us analyse our use of the product and allowed us to see how we could develop our processes in the future using all the additional features that a subscription now brings. "

"Good research data management (RDM) requires ample coordination, organization and premeditation. One of our roles as research support staff is to provide researchers with the tools that will facilitate these actions. By using this tool, researchers will reduce the strain and time spent by researchers in managing their data. DMPonline accomplishes this by bringing together all of the funder and institutional templates under one roof."

We had a really successful DMPonline training course last week with over 40 attendees from the UK, Netherlands, Sweden and Portugal. Thank you all so much for the contributions. In the blog debrief, you will see a status update on the conditional questions and machine-actionable DMP features. We also summarise your questions and ideas. Some of these have been raised as tickets already and others are listed with questions to help us scope and prioritise the work.
