In line with the themes of Open Access Week, the DMP Tool is a free, open-source, and community-supported service that makes it easier to create machine-actionable data management and sharing plans (maDMSPs) that meet funder requirements for public access and follow open science best practices.
During this presentation, members of the project team will introduce:
- An overview of the new DMP Tool features, including the integration of maDMSPs, and their potential impact on research workflows
- Insights into how these tools can be aligned with institutional needs and priorities.
- Strategies for campus-wide coordination to support effective data management across all research disciplines.
Keynote: Community and Digital Technologies to Enable Science as Public Good
Dr. Arianna Becerril García
Free, but registration is required
Tuesday, October 22, 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. MST
Streamed live via Zoom
Digital technologies are keystones for science to provide universal benefit and for enabling the community to collectively sustain and lead it. The Web makes the non-rivalrous and non-excludable conditions of a public good possible for science. Open Science, when it is value-centered, is a way to reach an unprecedented public good, and an approach to reach equity and sustainability in scholarly communications.
