What is open science

Videos ??

We created a video to show why open data is becoming a standard requested by funders and universities. It is available on Figshare and on Youtube, and subtitles are available in 4 languages so far ! Some more material to ease modification will be available on zenodo soon (check our homepage).

But before looking at the video, let's be sure we agree on what Open data is.

Some definitions of open research data

  • Foster: Open Data are online, free of cost, accessible data that can be used, reused and distributed provided that the data source is attributed and shared alike.

  • EC: Open research data refers to the data underpinning scientific research results that has no restrictions on its access

  • P. Suber: Open means digital, online, free of charge and free of copyright restriction (original definition of open)

What is open research data

Free of copyright restriction is the core of the definition of open research data. It means that the data should be clearly tagged with a license that allows anyone to access it, and re-use it. The license should be both human and computer readable. Creative commons licenses have become the standard, for data the CC0 license is usually recommended.

Why open research data

How open data

  • learn research data management (RDM) principles and skills
  • implement RDM in your workflow
  • produce FAIR data (effortless)
  • make it open by the press of a button.
  • let your open FAIR data fly away and save the day
