Editorial commentary

OMPs reflect funders' recognition that data-centric planning is incomplete for projects whose principal outputs include code, physical samples, AI models, or design artefacts. UKRI introduced 'output management plans' explicitly to displace data-only framing; equivalent broadening is visible in NIH's Data Management and Sharing Policy when read alongside its model-organism and software policies.
