New policy recommendations on open access to research data

some of these could inform our principles and how we can inspire
interoperability.

The EU FP-7 project RECODE has released findings of its case studies in
open access to research data. RECODE (Policy RECommendations for Open
Access to Research Data in Europe) held its final conference last week
in Athens, coinciding with publication of a short booklet summarising
the project findings and the following ten over-arching recommendations:
Develop aligned and comprehensive policies for open access to
research data
Ensure appropriate funding for open access to research data
Develop policies and initiatives that offer researchers rewards for
open access to high quality data
Identify key stakeholders and relevant networks and foster
collaborative work for a sustainable ecosystem for open access to
research data
Plan for the long-term, sustainable curation and preservation of
open access data
Develop comprehensive and collaborative technical and
infrastructure solutions that afford open access to and long-term
preservation of high-quality research data
Develop technical and scientific quality standards for research data
Require the use of harmonized open licensing frameworks
Systematically address legal and ethical issues arising from open
access to research data
Support the transition to open research data through
curriculum-development and training
The RECODE publication offers more specific recommendations aimed at
each of the key stakeholders it has targeted, namely research funders,
research institutions, data managers, and publishers. The project
recommendations were informed by five disciplinary case studies
(physics, health, bioengineering, environment and archaeology). These
drew comparisons across four “grand challenges”:
stakeholders values and ecosystems
legal and ethical concerns
infrastructure and technology challenges, and
institutional challenges
Case studies identified two overarching issues in the mobilisation of
open access to research data; firstly a “lack of a coherent open data
ecosystem”, and secondly; “lack of attention to the specificity of
research practice, processes and data collections”. Further details of
the conference are available here, and on the project website
