The focus of this section is to clearly explain which data will be shared, how, and under what conditions. If you plan to use a data repository, this is the section to introduce it and explain how it meets your funder’s requirements. You should also explain how people will be able to locate (search) for the data and include information about licensing.
Describe your data access and sharing procedures during and after the grant. Name specific repositories and catalogs as appropriate.
Provide the name of the repository(ies) where scientific data and metadata arising from the project will be archived; see Selecting a Data Repository… [AND] … Describe how the scientific data will be findable and identifiable, i.e., via a persistent unique identifier or other standard indexing tools.
The DMSP should provide a plan for making all scientific data displayed in peer-reviewed scholarly publications resulting from the proposed research open, machine-readable, and digitally accessible to the public at the time of publication. This includes data that are displayed in charts, figures, images, etc. In addition, the underlying digital scientific data used to generate peer-reviewed scholarly publications should be made freely available and publicly accessible at the time of publication, in accordance with the principles stated above. The published article should indicate how these data can be accessed. The DMSP should also provide a timeline for sharing digital scientific data produced under the DOE-funded R&D effort not associated with peer-reviewed scholarly publications.
