DMPs as formal documents that outline how data were managed during and post-project have become an important and often indispensable part of grant applications, as well as a good research practice. DSW brings a complex solution for creating high-quality DMPs in any discipline.
The Data Stewardship Wizard provides a simple way to create the DMP by filling the Questionnaire in a smart way. What does "smart way" mean? Based on your previous answers in the Questionnaire, only relevant questions for your case will be shown and further followed.
Our smart questionnaires will effortlessly guide you through the vast knowledge of data stewardship by asking you relevant questions, offering hints, multimedia contents, external resources and community help.
With the kind permission of the Taylor & Francis Group, we provide information and hints from Data Stewardship for Open Science by Barend Mons directly in the Data Stewardship Wizard.
A project can have several phases - before submitting the proposal, before submitting the data management plan, and before finishing the project. These phases differ in the number and completeness of the questions answered in the project's Questionnaire. You can easily set the correct phase that responds to the phase your project is currently in.
Share your Projects with your colleagues whether they have a DSW user account or not. Furthermore, you can set their access rights as well and let them just view, edit or even own the Project.
Get feedback and discuss your project. You can share it in comment mode for a review or write editor notes visible only to the project editors.
You can collaborate online in real-time on your data management plans with other users or anyone who you send the link to. Just like you would expect it in a cutting-edge online platform.
Every change you make in your project is saved. You can browse the history, watch who makes changes and when, and create a version for your project's specific state.
