Harvard Library Research Data Services provides consultation and feedback for the interpretation of data management and sharing policies for data management plans.
We partner with research librarians, reserach computing offices, and other service providers to review data management plans created using the DMPTool. Login to DMPTool or create an account with your Harvard email address for access to Harvard-specific data management plan templates and guidance.
