Data Management Plan
CPUT Data Management Plan (DMP) is the university’s data management planning tool. It provides tailored guidance and examples to help researchers write data management plans. Funders require Data Management Plan (DMP) and data sharing. Create your own data management plan using CPUT Data Management Plan Tool.
CPUT Libraries support researchers with secured spaces for research data where authors can store, share and discover CPUT research data using CPUT Data Repository (Figshare) and CPUT Data Repository (MediaTum). This makes it easy for research data to be viewed, accessible and cited. Share, save and publish research output in these open access data repositories:
Institutional Repository
Allow researchers are to share, save and publish their research output in the University's open access Institutional Repository. Check publisher guidelines on SHERPA/RoMEO for terms of use, archiving policies, posting, sharing of your work
Researchers can also browse through a list of research data repositories by re3data.org as well as Data Cite registry to find datasets, software, images, and more research material. Learn more about support and advice for managing your Research Data

Where to Publish?
Open Access Publishing
Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles combined with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment (SPARC, 2017). Why Open Access? read more here
There are two routes to get your work into the Open Access domain:
Gold Route
If you publish your article in a journal that is not an Open Access journal, then you could still make your article freely available in the CPUT Repository. Sometimes this means publishing the author's final copy, or having to embargo your article. The publisher determines these restrictions.
Green Route
Publishing your article in an Open Access journal is known as the green route. If you do this, you can still make your article available in the CPUT Repository. Below this video find the list of accredited journals that are also Open Access.
