Introduction
The Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) is an international project led by ELIXIR-CZ and ELIXIR-NL that helps researchers and data stewards create smart Data Management Plans (DMPs) aligned with FAIR principles. ELIXIR Norway operates a dedicated instance tailored for life scientists in Norway, providing localised guidance and knowledge models.
Key Features
- Guided DMP creation — step-by-step questionnaires that translate research context into comprehensive data management plans
- FAIR by design — built around the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) from the ground up
- Norwegian instance — a dedicated deployment with tailored guidance for Norwegian life science researchers
- Collaborative editing — multiple team members can contribute to the same DMP simultaneously
- Export flexibility — generate DMPs in multiple formats suitable for funder requirements and institutional policies
- Knowledge models — curated question sets covering domain-specific data management concerns
Getting Started
Access the Norwegian DSW instance at norway.dsw.elixir-europe.org. Log in, select a knowledge model relevant to your research domain, and follow the guided questionnaire to build your DMP.
