Research Results Sharing
- Princip: “as open as possible, as closed as necessary” – make research outputs as open as possible, closed only when necessary.
- Applies to both publications and research data.
Open Access
- Obligation to deposit the final publisher version or the final peer-reviewed version (author accepted manuscript / postprint) in a trusted repository no later than on the publication date.
- Immediate open access under a CC BY license (for monographs and long texts, CC BY-NC, CC BY-ND, CC BY-NC-ND licenses are allowed).
- Can be fulfilled via the green route (repository) or the gold route (publisher).
- The author must ensure that they retain the necessary copyright (through publisher selection or an addendum to the contract).
Metadata
- Mandatory metadata: title of the publication, authors, publication date, type and language of the publication.
- Recommended metadata: persistent identifiers (DOI, etc.), funding information (funder, project number), license, identifiers of persons, organizations, and grants.
- Metadata should comply with FAIR principles, be publicly available, and machine-readable.
- They may also include links to related outputs (e.g., data) or tools for verifying the publication’s conclusions.
