This article belongs to the Special Issue Data Reuse for Sustainable Development Goals. ; This work provides an overview of a Spanish survey on research data, which was carried out within the framework of the project Datasea at the beginning of 2015. It is covered by the objectives of sustainable development (goal 9) to support the research. The purpose of the study was to identify the habits and current experiences of Spanish researchers in the health sciences in relation to the management and sharing of raw research data. Method: An electronic questionnaire composed of 40 questions divided into three blocks was designed. The three Section s contained questions on the following aspects: (A) personal information; (B) creation and reuse of data; and (C) preservation of data. The questionnaire was sent by email to a list of universities in Spain to be distributed among their researchers and professors. A total of 1063 researchers completed the questionnaire. More than half of the respondents (54.9%) lacked a data management plan; nearly a quarter had storage systems for the research group; 81.5% used personal computers to store data; "Contact with colleagues" was the most frequent means used to locate and access other researchers' data; and nearly 60% of researchers stated their data were available to the research group and collaborating colleagues. The main fears about sharing were legal questions (47.9%), misuse or interpretation of data (42.7%), and loss of authorship (28.7%). The results allow us to understand the state of data sharing among Spanish researchers and can serve as a basis to identify the needs of researchers to share data, optimize existing infrastructure, and promote data sharing among those who do not practice it yet. ; This research was funded by National R+D+I of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of the Spanish Government (projects: CSO2012-39632-C02-01 and CSO2015-65594-C2-2-R) and the 2015-Networks of Excellence Call (project CSO2015-71867-REDT). ; Peer reviewed

EOSC-Life is a 4-year project funded under the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme. It aims to bring together the 13 Research Infrastructures in the Health and Food domain of the ESFRI Roadmap to create an open, collaborative digital space for life sciences in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). In March 2020, after the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and as a rapid response to it EOSC-Life added to its work plan two new work packages to help tackle the pandemic. In EOSC-Life WP14, the European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (ECRIN, https://ecrin.org/) has partnered with the University of Oslo (UiO, https://www.uio.no/english/) in order to commonly design, develop, implement and operate a repository for individual participant data (IPD) from COVID-19 clinical research studies that is compliant with European regulations and in particular with the GDPR. For the storage of the IPD, the TSD infrastructure of the University of Oslo will be used, which is a multitenant remote access system with a strong set of built-in security measures. The present document highlights the Data Sharing Policy of the COVID-19 repository under development in EOSC-Life WP14. A model Data Transfer Agreement for further discussions with Data Object Providers can also be made available on request (contact maria.panagiotopoulou@ecrin.org).

The e-government should start with electronic collaboration of governmental departments. Several services, like email, video conference, discussion forums, use of shared documents, etc. should be supported for assisting the efficient and productive collaboration of remote governmental departments. Since the functionality of the provided services is well known, no detailed description of each service phase is provided. The services for citizens are offered through so called governmental portals. The typical use of a governmental portal is to provide information to the citizens and to support several types of citizen–government transactions (e.g. issuing birth certificates, submitting tax forms, conducting electronic payments, etc.). These services open security requirements for an e-Government platform. Their compilation has been based on the security requirements derived for each independent service suite, for the Authentication processes.

Research data management practices have gained momentum the world over. This is due to increased demands by governments and other funding agencies to have research data archived and shared as widely as possible. This paper sought to establish the data sharing practices of researchers in South Africa. The study further sought to establish the level of collaboration among researchers in sharing research data at the university level. The outcomes of the survey will help the researchers to develop appropriate data literacy awareness programmes meant to stimulate growth in data sharing practices for the benefit of research, not only in South Africa, but the world at large. A survey research method was used to gather data from willing public universities in South Africa. A similar study was conducted in other countries such as the United Kingdom, France and Turkey but the Researchers believe that circumstances in the developed world may differ with the South African research environment, hence the current study. The major finding of this study was that most researchers preferred to use data produced by others but less keen on sharing their own data. This study is the first of its kind in South Africa which investigates data sharing practices of researchers from multi-disciplinary fields at the university level and will contribute immensely to the growing body of literature in the area of research data management.
