  1. What is the relationship between Data Management Plans (DMPs), DMP guidance documents, and the reality of end-of-project data preservation and access? In this short paper we report on some preliminary findings of a 3-year investigation into the impact of DMPs on federally funded science in the United States. We investigated a small sample of publicly accessible DMPs (N=14) published using DMPTool. We found that while DMPs followed the National Science Foundation's guidelines, the pathways to the resulting research data are often obscure, vague, or not obvious. We define two “data pathways” as the search tactics and strategies deployed in order to find datasets.

  2. This poster reports on ongoing research into the National Science Foundation’s Data Management Plan guidelines and its impact on science data lifecycles. We ask two research questions (RQs): 1) How does guidance about the formulation of DMPs vary across different research areas? And 2) How has guidance about the management of data changed since the first DMP policies were published in 2011? To this end, we collected, examined, and compared 37 DMP guidance policies from 15 different research areas. We identify the following three themes during document analysis: 1) Responsibility for the future of data; 2) Data maintenance changes over time; and 3) The use of data repositories. Based on these preliminary findings we believe that National Science Foundation guidance policies represent a unique view into changes in data management practices over the last decade.
