In January 2023, the National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) Policy for Data Management and Sharing came into effect, requiring guidance on elements "for the submission of a data management and sharing plan (DMSP)" for NIH-funded projects. While the NIH created supplementary guidance to developing a DMSP, some ambiguity arguably remained. In this 2022 article published in
PLOS Computational Biology, Gonzales
et al. provide additional insight into the process. After a brief introduction, the authors present 10 helpful tips towards getting the most of a DMSP in complying with the NIH and its requirements. They conclude by examining the various stakeholders involved with the DMSP process and finding that "[g]ood DMSP practices can support better engagement with and accountability to the public who benefit from research."

In this 2022 journal article published in
Electronics, University Canada West's Hamed Taherdoost presents a narrative literature review of a variety of cybersecurity standards and frameworks as a means to "help organizations select the cybersecurity standard or framework that best fits their cybersecurity requirements." After providing a brief introduction, Taherdoost speaks generally about cybersecurity standards and frameworks, and what they help organizations of all types achieve with their own cybersecurity. The author then goes into greater detail of those standards and frameworks, as well as their supporting documentation. Taherdoost then presents the methodology for his literature review, followed by a discussion of the results of that review. The author concludes that the presented standards and frameworks help organizations "ensure the security of data against cyber threats," though one standard or framework "may not fulfill all the demands of an organization, and it may be necessary to employ a combination of standards in order to ensure security against cyber threats and data loss."
