Why data management/open data?

1. e.g. Piwowar HA, Vision TJ. (2013) Data reuse and the open data citation advantage. PeerJ 1:e175 https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.175, Piwowar HA, Day RS, Fridsma DB (2007) Sharing Detailed Research Data Is Associated with Increased Citation Rate. PLoS ONE 2(3): e308. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0000308

2. Cartoon: "recycle" | Foster by Patrick Hochstenbach, 2015

1. Prevents data loss2. Data management to maximize usefulness: organize, make understandable and reusable

3. Fosters creativity, participation of citizens and increases transparency

4. Get credit: (much!) longer shelf life than interpretation

The Open Research Data Pilot Horizon 2020limited and flexible pilot

• Avoid duplication of research and loss of resources

• Foster Open Science: transparency, effectiveness and greater impact

Open Access to research data

Which areas are participating?


Projects in other areas can participate on a voluntary basis

• Check Article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement

• Costs eligible (Article 6.2.D.3 of the Model Grant Agreement)

• Future and Emerging Technologies• Research infrastructures (including e-Infrastructures)• Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies – Information and Communication

Technologies• Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, and

Biotechnology: ‘nanosafety’ and ‘modelling’ topics• Societal Challenge: Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime

and inland water research and the bioeconomy - selected topics in the calls H2020-SFS-2016/2017, H2020-BG-2016/2017, H2020-RUR-2016/2017 and H2020-BB-2016/2017, as specified in the work programme

• Societal Challenge: Climate Action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and Raw materials – except raw materials

• Societal Challenge: Europe in a changing world – inclusive, innovative and reflective Societies• Science with and for Society• Cross-cutting activities - focus areas – part Smart and Sustainable Cities.

Requirements of the Data Pilot1. Develop a Data Management Plan (DMP)

2. Deposit data in a research data repository


3. Open data: freely used, modified, and shared by anyone for any purpose4. Provide information, tools and instruments needed to

validate results

REASONS FOR OPTING-OUT

6Open Research Data Pilot

• Exploitation of results• Confidentiality • Protection of personal data• Would jeopardize the main aim of the action• No data generated • Any other legitimate reason• Complete opt-out via project amendment • Complete or partially opt-out: describe issues in project DMP• As open as possible as closed as necessary

Projects can opt out at any stage.

7

Develop a DMP


Updated minimum at: • Initial DMP: within first 6 Months of the

project• Mid-term review• Final project review

Data Management

Plan(DMP)

Living document: revise and update

Data management plan (DMP):

• Well managed in present and prepared for preservation in the future

• Handling of data during and after project

The DMP should address the points below on a dataset by dataset basis:

• Data set reference and name

• Data set description

• Standards and metadata

• Data sharing

• Archiving and preservation (including storage and backup)

Annex 2 (mid-term & final review)

Scientific research data should be easily:

• Discoverable• Accessible• Assessable and intelligible• Useable beyond the original purpose for which it was collected• Interoperable to specific quality standards

Annex 1 (by month 6)

Content of a DMPAnnex I and II of EC guidelines

Handling of data

Open Research Data Pilot 17

• Storage and backup

• Additional measures?

• During and after the projectHandling of data

Collecting and analysing data


Collecting and

processing

• Be clear what data you use

• Provide links to data sets you used

• E.g. lab notebook, end-to-end code/scripts for statistics

• Software can help: R, MatLab, Python…

• Be clear what methods you use

19

Data files: standard formats


Use data formats that are: Methodology

and standards

• Open standard • In an easily re-usable

format• Commonly used by research community

Examples of preferred format choices:

Text .odt, .txt, .xml, .html, .rtf

Tabular Data .csv (comma separated values), .xml, .rdf, .SPSS portable

Images .tif, .jpeg2000, .png, .svg,

Structured data

.xml, .rdf

Any standard used in your field

20

Create searchable data


• Data about data

• Machine readable

Using metadata

• Consists of set of attributes

• Helps prevent inappropriate use

Re3data


Trustworthy Digital repository

• Persistent identifier• Licenses • Access

26

What to deposit?


• Tools: Documentation, scripts, software, info about statistical analyses….

Open Access to research data

Everything needed to validate results presented in scientific publications

• Understandable? add readme text file

• Data• Metadata• Other data described in Data Management Plan

27

What to deposit?


Select

• Confidentiality/anonymization • Regenerating data cheaper

than archiving?

• Version control

• Potentially useful to others

28

Open data


• Apply an open license:• Keep it simple

• What intellectual property rights exist in the data?• Apply a suitable ‘open’ license e.g. creative commons :

• Data repositories can provide licenses

Open access
