European researchers and practitioners from any research discipline can preserve, find, access, and process data in a trusted environment, as part of the EUDAT Collaborative Data Infrastructure a network of collaborating, cooperating centres, combining the richness of numerous generic and community-specific data repositories with the permanence and persistence of some of Europe’s largest scientific data centres.
EUDAT offers heterogeneous research data management services and storage resources, supporting multiple research communities as well as individuals, through a geographically distributed, resilient network distributed across 15 European nations and data is stored alongside some of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers.
EGI is a federated e-Infrastructure set up to provide advanced computing services for research and innovation.
The EGI e-infrastructure is publicly-funded and comprises hundreds of data centres and cloud providers spread across Europe and worldwide.
Austin Principles for Data Citation in Linguistics (Version 1.0), a set of guidelines that enable linguists to make informed decisions regarding the accessibility and transparency of their research data. The principles and their accompanying web site aim to meet the needs of researchers and students, as well as data managers, editors and publishers, interested in complying with current trends and requirements regarding research data management.
Data management plans (DMPs) are documents in which researchers define the data to be created and describe their plans for managing and sharing this. The current manifestation of a DMP - a static document often created before a project begins - contributes to the perception that they are an annoying administrative exercise. There is growing recognition that the content held within DMPs could be put to far better use, and that by making DMPs more active and machine-actionable, they would derive more value for all stakeholders involved.
Main goal: to coordinate and pool university-led scholarly communication activities in Europe, particularly in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), in view of enabling Open Science as the standard practice.
Outcome: more efficient, fair, inclusive and sustainable scholarly communication ecosystem for European researchers.
