Open Data Management Plan (Update)
The Europe 2020 strategy for a smart, sustainable, and inclusive economy underlines the central role of knowledge and innovation in generating growth. For this reason, the European Union strives to improve access to scientific information and to boost the benefits of public investment in the research funded under the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 (2014-2020). According to this strategy, in Horizon 2020 a limited pilot action on open access to research data has been implemented so that participating projects will be required to develop an Open Data Management Plan (ODMP), in which they will specify what data will be open. This updated version of the deliverable of the Q-SORT project is prepared as part of WP1, Open Data Management Plan (Update). In this document we update the discussion regarding the management, life cycle, processes of data generated by Q-SORT in order to make such data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). The aim of this document is to provide an analysis of the main elements of the data management policy that will be used with regard to all the data sets that will be generated by the project. In particular, the deliverable outlines how research data will be handled during the lifetime of Q-SORT and describes what data will be collected, processed or generated and what methodology will be followed, whether and how this data will be shared and/or made open, and how it will be curated and preserved. This data management plan is intended as a dynamic document that will be edited and updated during the project.
