Data Stewardship Wizard

Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) is an online tool, that helps researchers create data management plans (DMPs) It was created as an open-source platform within the ELIXIR project and is free to use. Creating a data management plan that meets the standards of funders or project conditions may not be easy from the start.

The tool intuitively guides researchers through the creation of a DMP in accordance with the FAIR and Open Science principles. DSW enables researchers to easily create a project, answer understandable questionnaire questions, and create a complete data management plan that can be directly attached to an interim report or project proposal.
