***Do not copy paste** - Blindly accepting existing content can be error prone and does not help the research team to review current project specific settings.
***Do not copy paste** - Blindly accepting existing content can be error prone and does not help the research team to review the project specific settings.
***Update it regularly** - As the research project progresses, new aspects (infrastructure, partners, data uses, ...) should be reflected in the DMP to allow effective adoption of changes.
***Start in time** - Data management requirements have implications on all downstream processes including negotiations of legal documents and setup of necessary infrastructure.
***Start in time** - Data management requirements have implications on all downstream processes including negotiations of legal documents and setup of necessary infrastructure. Therefore, the DMP should be revised as soon as possible after the funding is granted.
