General introduction to Open Data Policies H2020, influence of OD policies on Open Science workflows
This document provides an overview of open data policies in Horizon 2020 (H2020) research projects. It discusses how H2020 mandates open access to peer-reviewed publications and research data generated by projects. Projects participating in the H2020 Open Research Data Pilot are required to make their data publicly available by depositing it in an open research data repository. Exceptions can be made if openly sharing the data would jeopardize commercialization, privacy, or the project's main goals. The document also outlines licensing options, metadata standards, and resources like Zenodo that can help researchers comply with H2020 open data requirements.

Open Access inHorizon2020 “The European Commission sees open access not as an end in itself but as a tool to facilitate and improve the circulation of information in the European Research Area (ERA) and beyond.” (Source: https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/sites/horizon2020/files/FactSheet_Open_Access.pdf) It is mandated: • Immediate deposit of peer reviewed scientific publications – i.e. journal articles • Deposit in a repository (machine readable form and even Gold OA) – Respect embargo periods • If possible use an open license – e.g. Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY • When possible deposit research data (Source: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa- pilot-guide_en.pdf)

- 7. What constitutes researchdata? ‘Research data’ refers to information, in particular facts or numbers, collected to be examined and considered as a basis for reasoning, discussion or calculation. In a research context, examples of data include statistics, results of experiments, measurements, observations resulting from fieldwork, survey results, interview recordings and images. The focus is on research data that is available in digital form. (Source: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa-pilot-guide_en.pdf)
- 8. H2020 areas participatingin pilot (2016-2017) • Future and Emerging Technologies • Research Infrastructures • Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies – Information and Communication Technologies • Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, and Biotechnology • Societal Challenge: Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research and the bioeconomy • 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. * Projects in other areas can participate on a voluntary basis (Source: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa-pilot-guide_en.pdf)
- 9. The scope ofparticipation is growing... • In 2014-15 work programme, 7 areas participated in the pilot. • In the 2016 work programme, new topics joined in 3 areas (research infrastructures, nanotechnologies and food security) • All calls covered by the 2017 work programme will be part of the pilot. A move from a pilot to a mandate.

H2020 Open ResearchData Pilot (ORD) (Source: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa-pilot- guide_en.pdf and https://ec.europa.eu/research/press/2016/pdf/opendata-infographic_072016.pdf) Open access to research data Refers to the right to access and reuse digital research data under the terms and conditions set out in the Grant Agreement. Why have Open Access to both Publications and Data? • build on previous research results (improved quality of results) • encourage collaboration and avoid duplication of effort (greater efficiency) • speed up innovation (faster progress to market means faster growth) • involve citizens and society (improved transparency of the scientific process).

- 12. The data, includingassociated metadata, needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications Other curated and/or raw data, including associated metadata, as specified in the data management plan Doesn’t apply to all data (researchers to define as appropriate) Don’t have to share data if inappropriate – exemptions apply Which data does the ORD pilot apply to?
- 13. Beneficiaries participating inthe ORD pilot will: • Deposit data in a research data repository • Take measures to enable third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate (free of charge for any user) this research data • Provide information via the chosen repository about tools and instruments necessary for validating the results (where possible, provide the tools and instruments themselves) Key requirements of the ORD pilot
- 14. • If resultsare expected to be commercially or industrially exploited • If participation is incompatible with the need for confidentiality in connection with security issues • Incompatible with existing rules on the protection of personal data • Would jeopardise the achievement of the main aim of the action • If the project will not generate / collect any research data • If there are other legitimate reasons to not take part in the Pilot Projects can opt out at any stage Can opt out totally or partially (i.e. for some data only) Should describe issues in the project DMP Exemptions – reasons for opting out
- 15. Data Management Plans Projectsparticipating in the pilot will be required to develop a Data Management plan (DMP), in which they will specify what data will be open. Note that the Commission does NOT require applicants to submit a DMP at the proposal stage. A DMP is therefore NOT part of the evaluation. DMPs are a deliverable.
- 16. Where relevant*, H2020proposals can include a section on data management which is evaluated under the criterion ‘Impact’ • What types of data will the project generate/collect? • What standards will be used? • How will this data be shared/made available? If not, why? • How will this data be curated and preserved? * For “Research and Innovation actions” and “Innovation Actions” DMPs are a project deliverable for those participating in the open data pilot. Not a fixed document – should evolve and gain precision – Deliver first version within initial 6 months of project – More elaborate versions whenever important changes to the project occur. At least at the mid-term and final review. Informantion on RDM: what and when PROPOSAL STAGE IN PROJECT
- 17. How can researchersmake data open? 1. Choose the dataset(s) to share – What can be made open? This step may need to be revisited if problems are encountered later. 2. Apply an open license – Determine what IP exists. Apply a suitable licence e.g. CC-BY 3. Make the data available – Provide the data in a suitable format. Use repositories. 4. Make it discoverable – Post on the web, get a unique ID, register in catalogues… https://okfn.org

- 22. Metadata and documentation Metadatais basic descriptive information to help others identify and understand the structure of the data e.g. title, author... Documentation provides the wider context e.g. the methodology / workflow, software, tools and any information needed to understand and reuse the data Relevant standards should be used for interoperability – check out the Metadata Standards Directory from the Research Data Alliance (Source: http://rd-alliance.github.io/metadata-directory)

Editor's Notes
- #17 Although DMPs are a project deliverable and not required at the application stage, proposals can include a section on data management if desired. The info suggested here is similar to the preliminary DMP, so essentially gets that started.
- #18 These steps align with what the EC asks for: Choose which data to share – researchers asked to define this in DMP Apply open licence - Take measures to enable third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate (free of charge for any user) this research data Make the data available - deposit data in a research data repository Make it discoverable – provide associated metadata, provide information on the tool and instruments necessary for validating the results
- #21 Make the data available by depositing in repositories
- #23 Remember that the data need to be discoverable and understandable, so the associated metadata needs to be deposited too
