Researchers perspectives- are they prepared to share & expose DMP content?

Main points
Most researchers don’t have to DMP, and many don’t even know what one is
But some researchers want to DMP, and their priorities are more relevant support
High % are prepared to share them
Some already are… but Who? Why? Why not? What helps?

Let’s keep in mind
Funders increasingly have policy expectation that investigators produce and/or submit a DMP
But most funders do not require a DMP to be produced or submitted

4. Most researchers don’t DMP
“Only 20% of respondents had prepared a data management plan”
2300 respondents to Springer Nature survey reported in Digital Science State of Open Data Report 2017

5. Some don’t know what a DMP is
“Only a quarter of survey respondents have actually used a DMP ….while a quarter do not even know what a Data Management Plan is.”

6. On the other hand…more would like to
“… one third has not used a DMP but would like to”

7. Good practice beats compliance as driver ?
“The most common reasons for having a data management plan are that it constitutes good research practice (72%) and that it is required by the project funder (53%)”
1,185 researchers in 6 UK institutions

8. Priorities of those who DMP imply sharing
Relevant standards, examples, guidance for my discipline
Integration
Notification
Publication

9. High % prepared to share
Around half according to the same OpenAIRE survey

10. Some researchers already are sharing DMPs
Journals – e.g. RIO Journal, BMC Research Notes
Repositories- Zenodo
EC pilot – to support open reviews
DMPtool – public collection

11. DMP Sharing –similar benefits as for data?
Public

Institution
Team, Peers
Visibility
Reproducibility
Accountability
Efficacy
Efficiency
Quality
Needs evidence- like data sharing all over again!
