Presentation on the guidelines on research data management during the kick-off meeting of the Horizon 2020 project "One-Flow" (Volker Hessel)

1. Guidelines on research data management
The Open Research Data (ORD) Pilot in Horizon 2020
“One-Flow” kick-off meeting

adapted material under the same license as the original

2. Scope of the ORD Pilot
1. All the thematic areas of Horizon 2020 (as of 2017)
2. Participation is the default option: with opt-out possibilities
at any stage, including after the signature of the agreement
3. Applies primarily to the data needed to validate the results
presented in scientific publications. Other data can also be
provided
4. Costs related to open access to research data, including the
creation of a data management plan, are eligible for
reimbursement

3. Aim of the ORD Pilot
The ORD pilot is aimed at encouraging:
1. Open access to and reuse of digital research data generated
by Horizon 2020 projects, and;
2. Sound data management
“Participating in the ORD pilot does not necessarily mean opening up all your
research data. Rather, the ORD Pilot follows the principle “as open as possible,
as closed as necessary” and focuses on encouraging sound data management
as an essential part of research best practice.”

Research data management
Sound research data management is data management following
the FAIR principles. All research data should be:
Findable: easy to find by both humans and computer systems;
Accessible: stored for long term with well-defined license and access
conditions (open access when possible);
Interoperable: ready to be combined with other datasets by humans as well as
computer systems;
Reusable: ready to be used for future research and to be processed further
using computational methods.

Requirements
The conditions set by Horizon 2020 with regard to research data
management, come down to two requirements:
1. Formulate a data management plan, and;
2. Deposit research data in a data repository

6. “Once a project has had its funding approved and has started, you must submit a first
version of your DMP (as a deliverable) within the first six months of the project.”
Single DMP for the project
The DMP is a set of questions about:
1. The handling of research data during and after the project
2. What data sets the project will collect, process and/or generate
3. Whether and how the data sets will be shared/made open access
4. How data will be curated and preserved
5. What measures are taken to safeguard and protect sensitive data
Requirements

“They must deposit the data preferably in a research data repository and then,
as far as possible, take measures to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and
disseminate the data…”

Requirements
depositing data

8. You must submit a first version of your DMP (as a deliverable)
within the first 6 months of the project.
You must deposit the data underlying your publications in a data
repository
We can help you with that. Please, contact us.
