Plan your data management: Create, link and share Data Management Plans

Develop and publish your Data Management Plan on the cloud. Use customised dataset templates for different disciplines domains and funders. Connect to infrastructure services via OpenAIRE (ORCID, Funding agencies databases, repositories). Collaborate with your team and share publicly on Zenodo. Also available for institutional use, with local installations customised to your organisation specifications and needs (policy, repository, etc.).

ARGOS is a service that guides researchers through the creation process of a data management plan to submit to research funders, a requirement for Horizon Europe and national funding programs. The templates are up to date on the cloud and address specific funding requirements based on funders DMP templates. Researchers can easily and without prior knowledge, find the right template, start editing it by following the step-by-step guidance from ARGOS, save it, enrich, and co-edit with colleagues, and finally, share it openly with a DOI assigned to it. Your DMP will be based on standards and FAIR principles, be readable by humans and machines, making it fully interoperable. ARGOS saves you time and effort to create, craft and shape a DMP efficiently, so that you can focus on your research.
