RDM Faculty Resources

This resource addresses the need to provide examples of DMP language by discipline. It also provides exemplars of data deposit from the University of Windsor research community.

For more information about funder requirements for data management plans and further guidance materials, please visit our Data Management Plans section. 

Access the University of Windsor's institutional DMP creation tool here: 



Please don't hesitate to book a consultation for more support in completing a DMP or depositing shareable datasets.

Data Deposit and Data Sharing

Sharing your original research data can increase your visibility and impact as a researcher. It also supports reproducibility and can foster new collaborations and innovative research.

For information about depositing your research data for long term preservation, please visit the archiving and sharing sections of the RDM site.

For data that can be publicly shared (i.e., barring ethical and legal considerations), consider the University of Windsor's access to utilize Borealis (smaller datasets up to 2GB)) and FRDR (Federated Research Data Repository) (larger datasets up to 1TB or more).
