Matthias Liffers, the Data Librarian at Curtin University, discusses data management plans (DMPs) at the university. He describes the various data services available to researchers, including training, a research data management planning tool, storage, and data publishing support. Over time, Curtin has strengthened its data management policy and processes by embedding DMP requirements into ethics approval, candidacy confirmation, and storage access procedures. Currently, over 1,800 DMPs have been completed through the university's planning tool. Moving forward, Curtin aims to analyze the content of DMPs and provide additional training opportunities to researchers.
