MPs, other research plans and Descriptions. ARGOS can be used for:
A. Viewing/ consulting publicly released DMPs, other research plans and Descriptions or Projects corresponding to DMPs and other research plans.
ARGOS offers options for publishing DMPs and other research plans in two modes, private or public. To view public DMPs, other research plans and Descriptions, there is no need for login to the platform.
B. Writing and publishing a DMP or other research plans
ARGOS helps researchers comply with mandates that may be attached to their grant proposal/ project funding. They can therefore choose from the most suitable to their needs template from the Descriptions collection and proceed with answering the corresponding questions. Once finalized, researchers can assign a DOI to their DMP or other research plan, publish and eventually cite it.
C. Practicing on writing DMPs, other research plans and Descriptions
ARGOS may be used for educational purposes. The process of Data Management Planning reflects the management lifecycle, hence the tool can be used in response to global RDM training demands. Examples may refer to embedding DMPs and other research plans and DMP tools in specific curricula or be embedded in library instructions’ sessions to familiarize researchers and students the processes of RDM, DMPs and other research plans.
