FAIR and Open Data
Making research data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, retrievable) and open increases transparency and reproducibility of research.
More about:
- The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship (the original publication about the FAIR Principles)
- FAIR Principles (a compact overview of the FAIR principles by GO FAIR)
- Creative Commons Licenses (suitable licenses for open data)
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (the official legal text)
- Research Data Management Support (support for FAIR and Open Data at UU)
Tools:
- Yoda – a research data management service (for UU/UMCU researchers)
- OSF (the Open Science Framework is a free, open platform for sharing your research)
- Zenodo (a general-purpose open-access repository)
- codebook (R package for automatically creating codebooks from metadata encoded in dataset attributes)
- GitHub (actually a source code repository, but can be used for text-based data)
Domain-specific open data repositories:
- European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) (archiving and sharing biomedical research data)
- database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP) (archiving and sharing data from research about the interaction of genotype and phenotype in Humans)
