Data Management Plans should include:

• data types,
• related tools, software, and/or code,
• metadata standards,
• data preservation, access, and associated timelines,
• access, distribution, or reuse considerations,
• oversight of data management (roles and responsibilities), and
• planned research output details.

Data Management Plans will require listing at least one intended repository for publicly accessible data. Repositories should follow FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable.) 

• Discipline specific repositories are preferred, take a look at the Registry of Research Data Repositories https://www.re3data.org/ to find a discipline specific repository.
• Publishers often have contracts with specific repositories and will prefer adding data supporting articles to a preferred source.
• In the absence of a discipline specific repository, generalist repositories exist. Individual project submissions to these repositories are possible.
