  • Select guidance, preferably the KI adapted guidelines, but also the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) guidelines could be of some help.

6. Fill in the template

Don't forget to take help from the KI guidance columns in the right margin and the KI example answers! Continue to click the “Save” button often, since the system does not save automatically. If you are interrupted, that will guarantee that you may continue completing the form later on by picking up from the “My Dashboard” page.

7. Resuming an already existing plan

If you already have started creating a plan, but paused the writing, or a colleague has asked and permitted/shared an already existing plan for you to complete, you will find it on “Your Dashboard”.

8. Share your DMP

Choose if you want some KI colleagues to add information to the plan before it is finished.

9. Request feedback

Select the Request feedback tab and click on the Request feedback button. A member of the RDO team willl provide feedback and you will get a notification when we have looked at your plan.

Alternatively, export the DMP as PDF or Word format and e-mail the plan to Research Data Office (RDO): rdo@ki.se
