3. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. DART in Open Science General overview of the scientific process from research execution and knowledge generation to funding in the light of Open Science movements

4. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. Two main elements of DART Open Access Unrestricted access to published research results SNSF Policy established Open Data Unrestricted access to research data SNSF Policy not yet established but in discussion

5. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. Independent publication grants SNSF Open Access Policy „Publicly funded research results should be worldwide freely accessible.“ Research results from SNSF grants: Additional grants for publications? yes no General obligation to Open Access Specific obligation to Open Access

6. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. General obligation to Open Access Basic Obligation to Open Access Publications:  Green Road (self-archiving of the published version in a freely accessible repository)  Journal-Articles: 6 months after publication  Books: 24 months after publication  Gold Road (electronic publication in an Open Access journal) Freedom of choice regarding the most suitable publication form and publisher Legal constraints: Informing the SNSF is sufficient

7. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. Specific obligation to Open Access In return for financial support: Journal article: publication in «Gold Road Journal» Book publication: electronic freely accessible version at latest 24 months after publication  Researchers and publication houses are free to also print the book  No OA publication if there are justified constraints (e.g. picture rights) Accountable production costs: typesetting, layout, image processing, image rights, proofreading and digitisation

8. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. Open Data as key element of Open Science Publicly funded research data: a public good should be made freely accessible with as few restrictions as possible without harming intellectual property Open Data may: Enhance reproducibility of research results Ensure the efficiency of research in general Foster Innovation Open up new research fields

9. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. International context Most funding organisations require open access to research data Some organisations ask for a detailed data- management plan along with the project applications The data-management plan may also include definitions of licences, data protection, and metadata

10. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. International context – some examples ERC: “…considers it essential that primary data, as well as data-related products such as computer codes, is deposited in the relevant databases as soon as possible, preferably immediately after publication and in any case not later than six months after the date of publication. NSF: “Investigators are expected to share with other researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the primary data, samples, physical collections and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of work under NSF grants.” Research Councils UK: “Publicly funded research data are a public good, produced in the public interest, which should be made openly available with as few restrictions as possible in a timely and respon- sible manner that does not harm intellectual property.”

11. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. Current regulations of the SNSF Funding regulations Article 44: Communication concerning research projects and publication of research results b. the data collected with the aid of an SNSF grant must be made available also to other researchers for secondary research and integrated in recognised scientific data pools However, the handling of these regulations is not yet very strict.

12. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. Current practice of the SNSF Basically, all applicants are obliged to make research data available for other researchers and integrated in data pools. However, the SNSF does not actively control the compliance of applicants with this condition In Social Sciences: Funding of FORS to establish and maintain a centre for research data in Social Sciences (via research infrastructure funding) In project funding: For data with a high potential for secondary analyses, an explicit condition to include data in the Swiss Information and Data Archive Service for the Social Sciences For data that could enrich the databases at FORS, applicants are requested to contact FORS and integrate their data

13. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. Main elements included in a funder policy? (Wykstra 2013) Overarching principle statements about data sharing A requirement to submit a data management plan What data is made accessible in central databases? What is the Embargo period for open access to the data? Who will finance data-management and the necessary infrastructure? How are the protection of data privacy and legal constraints taken into account? Confidentiality and consent requirements/metadata Timeframe for releasing to repository Requirement that data is shared in publicly accessible repositories Specification of the scope of the data to be shared

14. SNSF 22.04.2014 Research creates knowledge. SNSF Policy and coordination with research communitites and other actors to be established!! Ongoing development of a research data management policy together with infrastructure policy Submission of data-management-plans with the grant application Different solutions of different research fields (e.g. experimental research vs. survey-based research) Centralised data-hubs for different disciplines or groups of disciplines (with a common format of research data) Encouraging the use of secondary research data and interdisciplinary research More visibility for publicly funded research and researchers in Switzerland
