6. Some initial thoughts…
Co-authored by all research team members and preferably also by a data librarian and/or a data repository representative
Easy to prepare and submit, e.g.: interactive standardized (!) templates, recommendation engine, etc.
Reviewed/checked by RDM and/or domain experts to ensure compliance with the state of the art data sharing practices
Accessible - published in a OA journal, open repository or funder catalogue
Citable (assigned a DOI) and regularly updated (versioning)
May be under embargo until the official start of the project
Linked with research literature (e.g.: links can be deposited to Scholix)
Machine-readable to allow search and automatic data tracking
