 give me a good answer (at least I can’t remember one).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<a href="https://www.iedadata.org/dmp/">https://www.iedadata.org/dmp/</a>). We reviewed several DMPs that were produced using the IEDA tool as part of ye olde DART Project, and they scored poorly for NSF compliance because they did not address metadata or any
 aspect of reuse/licensing/derivatives, etc. That said, investigators reviewing these plans would likely be researchers within Earth sciences and probably used the IEDA template themselves, and thus never thought about what was techniclly missing. Anyhow –
