Data and Digital Outputs Management Plan (DDOMP) Guide

A Step-By-Step User Guide for Building a Successful Data Management Plan


Why is a Data and Digital Outputs Management Plan (DDOMP) important? Ensuring proper data management helps Belmont Forum researchers achieve the goal of supporting international transdisciplinary research to provide knowledge for understanding, mitigation, and adaptation to global environmental change, and is required of all Belmont Forum-funded projects. A DDOMP ensures that the data is organized, sharable, and reproducible, and helps researchers gain recognition and credibility through data sharing.
