The document discusses the DMPTool, a free online tool that helps researchers create data management plans (DMPs) that satisfy funder requirements. It supports over 20 public funders and allows logging in with institutional credentials. The intuitive interface includes templates addressing different funder guidelines, and contextual help. Resources can be customized at different levels. Institutions can enable informal reviews of completed plans. The tool sees widespread community use, with over 6,000 DMPs created for 28 funders from nearly 10,000 users affiliated with 1,300 institutions.
