Data management plan generator from information already documented

Generate a draft data management plan from project metadata using funder-oriented templates and visible placeholders for missing information.

How should a data management plan stay connected to the real project?

A useful data management plan should be generated from current project metadata and revised when storage, access, formats or responsibilities change. SepiaLog reuses documented project information so the plan reflects the workflow rather than becoming an isolated form.

The research problem

A DMP written once for a proposal can drift away from the real project. Researchers then repeat information across funder forms, institutional templates and repository documentation.

How the workflow works

  1. Complete the relevant project metadata.
  2. Choose a generic, EU-FAIR, DFG, BMBF or Horizon Europe-oriented template.
  3. Generate Word or PDF and resolve the visible placeholders that still need researcher input.

What SepiaLog provides

  • Multiple funder-oriented templates
  • Metadata reused across documents
  • Word and PDF outputs
  • Machine-actionable DMP support where configured

Common questions

Does SepiaLog submit the DMP to a funder?

No. It prepares an editable draft for review and submission through the appropriate institutional process.

What happens when metadata is missing?

The export marks unresolved information with visible placeholders.

Can the plan be regenerated?

Yes. Regeneration allows the plan to reflect updated project metadata.
