Please note that from May 28 there will be a new system to create Data Management Plans - called Melbourne Data Planner.
After May 28 you should not create plans in DMPMelbourne but you should create them in Melbourne Data Planner. You can continue to edit and export any existing plans until 30 June.
If you would like any assistance or would like a pdf export of your plan you can contact the Digital Stewardship team using this service now form.
Data management plan (DMP) will help you manage your data, meet funder requirements and help others use your data if shared.
DMPMelbourne is provided by the University of Melbourne to produce guidance and templates that assist researchers to produce an effective data management plan (DMP) to cater for the whole lifecycle of a project, from bid-preparation stage through to completion.
DMPMelbourne is based on DMPonline tool produced by the UK's Digital Curation Centre.
There are a number of templates within the tool that represent the requirements of different funders and institutions. Users are asked three questions at the outset so we can determine the appropriate template to display (e.g. the ESRC template when applying for an ESRC grant). Guidance is provided to help you interpret and answer the questions. This guidance is provided by researcher funders, universities and disciplines.
If you have an account please sign in and start creating or editing your DMP.
If you do not have a DMPMelbourne account, click on 'Sign up' on the homepage.

We are constantly improving the user interface and functionality of DMPMelbourne. If you would like to contribute with feedback and suggestions, please contact us by emailing digital-stewardship@unimelb.edu.au.
