First version of DMP

[essepuntato]

Hi @open-sci/crisis,

As stated in the previous lecture (FAIR and Open Data), you have to create the first version of your Data Management Plan (DMP). The DMP should include at least the description of two datasets, i.e. one for the data you will gather and another for the software you will develop to analyse such data. Of course, if you need more than two datasets, please do not hesitate to add more.

The creation of the DMP must be done using an existing service, i.e. OpenAIRE Argos. You should use your ORCID credentials to access it. If you do not have an ORCID, please visit the ORCID website and create a new account. In case you have some doubts about how to use the tool and what to fill in, please watch the recording of today's lecture (7 April 2025) available in Panopto.

Once your first version of the DMP is finalised, please deposit it in Zenodo (by adding appropriate metadata) in at least a machine-readable format (e.g. JSON) and PDF. Then, close this issue by attaching the clickable DOI URL (https://doi.org/...) of the first version of the DMP to the comment.

The data stewards of the University of Bologna have created a valuable tool that can help you prepare for the DMP. It is a decision tree that guides a researcher in considering appropriate questions related to the managing of research data:

Do not hesitate to contact me in the Discord group with further questions.

here all the data for which we have to create a DMP:

data we want to reuse:

• Zenodo data - Pietro
• Software Heritage data - Lucrezia
• AMSActa data - Martina
• IRIS dump - available on AMSActa

data we want to produce:

• software for analysis - Pietro
• part of the same datasets we reuse but mashed-up and in different formats (probably tabular form es. DataFrames)
• lab notebook of the research
• data from the analysis (e.g. statistics) and related visualisation

Reopen the issue for enabling gathering feedback by the others.

• Storage is always stated generally as "Cloud Storage Services". Maybe we can set up a specific one to use for all storage purposes and specify it in the DMP? (Assuming I understood correctly what this section is about...)

• Sometimes the reason why we are no reusing an already existing dataset is stated, but many times it is not

• The section 1.1.3 "Research output creator(s) and contributor(s" is always a placeholder. Maybe an error in the conversion to PDF?

• Macro sections 1, 2, 3 (main info, funding, license) are empty. Maybe conversion to PDF error?

• Very often the word "create" and derivates are spelled as "crete" ☝️🤓

1 For the datasets I think we are going to use Zenodo but I still have to specify it in the DMP.
4 Added the general informations about the DMP.
5 I corrected them, my bad 😓.

For the other things I still have to check. I will update this comment when I do.

• The section 1.1.3 "Research output creator(s) and contributor(s" is always a placeholder. Maybe an error in the conversion to PDF?

This is true and it reflects the current state of the project. Regarding implementation and code stuff, the specific technical roles of each team member are not yet fully defined. For now, we have provided a preliminary list of creators and contributors, with the intention of updating it at a later stage, particularly as we begin the technical development phase and can more clearly delineate individual contributions.

All the other remarks have been addressed in the revised DMP version.
