This module introduces machine-actionable Data Management Plans (maDMPs) and how researchers can benefit from using tools that support their creation.

It is designed for researchers and research support staff who want to learn how to develop maDMPs as part of their research activities. The module is relevant across institutions and disciplines and builds on introductory knowledge of Data Management Plans (DMPs), as presented in Module 1.

In this module, you will explore what a maDMP is and how it differs from a traditional DMP. You will identify the core characteristics of maDMPs, learn how they interact with research systems and services, and understand the benefits they can bring to your research activities.
