"At Karolinska Institutet work on improving research documentation and data management took a big step forward ten years ago with the implementation of an electronic logbook system and increased support to our researchers. Last year DMPonline became the most recent addition to our electronic research support for documentation and data management. This was in part triggered by changes in funding requirements when one of our biggest national funders, the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) decided that starting in 2019 all their awarded projects required a data management plan before the start of the project. They also made it clear that the responsibility for this does not lie with the principal investigator, but with the university."

"DMPonline is a really useful resource for researchers who already have experience in writing a DMP, and we have a number of repeat users. However, we're finding that it really comes into its own when helping researchers write a DMP for the very first time. DMPonline provides us with a single point of entry for a researcher."

"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."
