Texas Data Repository Member Data Management Plan Templates
- Suggested language for the sections of Data Sharing and Metadata of a DMP.
- Guidance for writing many sections of the DMP, and suggesting language for Data Storage describing the Texas Data Repository.
Baylor University language:
- All described data will be deposited into Baylor University’s data repository, BEARdata (http://beardata.baylor.edu), which is part of the Texas Data Repository (TDR). The Texas Digital Library hosts and maintains the TDR which runs on the Dataverse platform. TDR provides archive services such as migration, secure backup, and bit-level checksums and is regularly preserved in Chronopolis.
Data in BEARdata/TDR are assigned DOIs, and metadata for the project data will provide information on subject, provenance, authorship, methods and post-processing, and licensing. All data in the TDR are also indexed in multiple locations including Harvard Dataverse, DataCite Commons, and Google’s research dataset search.

- A DMPTool sponsored site which shows funder requirements for many private funders and includes some sample plans and templates. However, researchers should always consult the program officers and policy documents directly for authoritative guidance.

Use of DataUse of the data and materials include but are not limited to viewing parts or the whole of the content including comparing data or content from the materials with data or content in other datasets; verifying research results with the content included here; and extracting and/or appropriating any part of the content here for use in other projects, publications, research, or other related work products. C. Representations and WarrantiesIn use of the data and materials, downloader represents that:
Restrictions in his/her use of the materials, downloaders cannot:
The data is provided "as is" and "as available" and without warranty of any kind, including, but not limited to, non-infringement, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and any warranties implied by any course of performance or usage of trade, all of which are expressly disclaimed.

All disputes under this agreement will be resolved in the applicable state or federal courts of Texas. Downloader consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any jurisdictional or venue defenses otherwise available. G. Integration and SeverabilityThis agreement represents the entire agreement between downloader and researchers with respect to the downloading /uploading and use of data and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals between downloader and researcher. If any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. H. MiscellaneousNo agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the Agreement and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect outside of the terms described within this Agreement. |
