6. Data management plans: Why?
Requirement of NWO, Horizon 2020, ZonMw
Data management section in the proposal
Data management plans within first 4-6 months of the project

7. Data management plans: Why?
FAIR≠Open
“As open as possible, as closed as necessary”

8. Funders require Data Management Plans
To ensure better data management practice from the start
To ensure that researchers are prepared to share their data

9. Funders require Data Management Plans

How to encourage researchers to use DMPs as a roadmap to good RDM practices?

10. Data Management: Selfish benefits

11. Data Management: Selfish benefits
What happens when your PhD students leave?
In 3 years time would you still be able to find the data?
And would you still know what the files are?

12. Data loss? It actually happens

15. OK... Maybe data management… But why sharing?...
“Why should I share my data for re-use?
I don’t see any benefit for myself.”

16. OK... Maybe data management… But why sharing?...
What if someone asks the data supporting your publication?
What if the request comes 5 years later?
What if the request comes 10 years later?

17. Datasets available ‘on request’ are not available
Data availability decreases by 17% per year
Chance of address working decreases by 7% per year

18. Selfish reason: Share once and don’t be bothered

19. Selfish reason: track downloads & get cited
