Data Management Plan Draft From Your Project Description
Prompt
Project description: {{PROJECT}}
Data types and volume: {{DATA_TYPES}}
Funder or institution template headings, if I have them: {{TEMPLATE_HEADINGS}}
Sensitivity of data (personal, commercial, none) and storage I can use: {{SENSITIVITY_AND_STORAGE}}
Draft each section:
1. Data description: types, formats, volume (use my estimates only).
2. Documentation and metadata: what I should record so the data can be understood later.
3. Storage, backup and security, using only the systems I named.
4. Ethics, consent and legal issues for sharing.
5. Sharing, preservation and licensing: options for repositories and licences described by type. Do not name a specific repository as approved unless I did.
6. Roles and responsibilities, with placeholders for names.
7. Costs to include in the budget, as categories without amounts.
Mark anything that depends on law, funder policy or institutional rules as [CHECK POLICY]. Write [DECISION NEEDED] where I have not given enough to proceed. Do not invent retention periods, repository terms or regulations. Output using the template headings if provided, otherwise the headings above.
