From Intentions to Practice – Tracking Data Sharing in Data Management Plans

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This poster examines how data management plans (DMPs) submitted to the Research Council of Finland by Tampere University researchers in 2021–2022 are realized in practice, particularly regarding data sharing. While researchers must follow FAIR principles and submit DMPs early in their projects, the actual outcomes of data sharing often remain unclear. By analyzing initial DMPs and conducting a follow-up survey, the study compares researchers’ intentions with actual practices, exploring reasons for any discrepancies. The findings highlight the need for improved DMP tools that support tracking and verification, and they inform the development of better follow-up processes and support services.
