What is Digital Scholarship?
Digital Scholarship is any scholarly activity that centers on materials born digital or those that have been converted from analog to digital. These activities include, but are not limited to, data analysis and visualization, publication, and preservation in online repositories. Topics related to digital scholarship include open access (OA), open educational resources (OER), digital rights management (DRM), copyright, and licenses that define use and reuse. Inclusion and utilization of new tools for instructional design and digital research methods specific to online delivery are fundamental aspects. Closely aligned with open science and digital humanities, digital scholarship supports the creation, dissemination, and curation of modern scholarship.

Open Data vs. Open Science
What is Open Data?
Open Data is data that can be freely used, re-used, and shared by anyone via attribution and ShareAlike practices. Open data should be scrubbed of personally identifiable information.
DMPTool

The DMPTool provides funding agency-specific templates, like one for the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan policy , to ensure you are meeting specific funder data management requirements .
What is different with Open Science?
Open science is a process that combines various movements and practices aiming to make multilingual scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for everyone, to increase scientific collaborations and sharing of information for the benefits of science and society, and to open the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation and communication to societal actors beyond the traditional scientific community.
