Exposing Data Management Plans WG Update RDA 13th Plenary April 2-4 Philadelphia, PA

What the Exposing DMPs group is doing: We are studying how sharing and publishing (aka exposing) data management plans can potentially benefit researchers, funders, institutions, and a variety of service providers and community organisations including repositories, researchers' umbrella institutions, journals, publishers, and providers of tools for writing and maintaining plans.
