Open science omvat open access tot wetenschappelijke publicaties, onderzoeksdata, leermiddelen, software, etc. In het geval van onderzoeksdata spreken we over open data. Open data biedt veel voordelen voor de wetenschap. Het vergroot de zichtbaarheid van onderzoeksresultaten, is citeerbaar door het gebruik van digital object identifiers (DOI’s) en stimuleert het hergebruik van onderzoeksdata voor nieuwe onderzoeksvragen en verificatie.
Op 9 februari 2017 werd in Den Haag het rapport Nationaal Plan Open Science (NPOS) gepresenteerd. Het mogelijk maken van optimaal hergebruik van onderzoeksdata is een van de vier thema's die hierin centraal staat.
Translating this example into websites, we can define the frontend as the visual part of a web page presented to the user, i.e. its design, general appearance, or the entire interface. Moreover, the frontend is responsible for how the user interacts with the website or web application, and how it reacts to their actions.
"Sharing data: good for science, good for you"
DANS, 2013
Research funders in the Netherlands
Increasingly research funder policy requires institutions to place and manage research data in the public domain. Since 1 October 2016 NWO developed policy in the area of data management. NWO wants research data that result from publicly funded research to be found, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) available to other researchers. This takes into account aspects such as privacy, public safety, ethical restrictions, property rights and commercial interests.
Policy research institutions
The universities, university medical centers and universities of applied sciences also develop policy in the field of data management. An overview of the websites of these organistions can be found on the website of the National Coordination Point Research Data Management.
Storage research data in the short and medium term
In 2013 a number of Dutch universities, universities of applies sciences, and research institutes joined the DataverseNL, a partnership that jointly manages and deploys the Dataverse Network open source application for the archiving, citing and sharing of research data in the short and medium term by researchers themselves. The data management is in the hands of the institutions; DANS has been managing DataverseNL since May 2014.
Sustainable storage research data
In the Netherlands DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services) and 4TU.ResearchData provides durable storage and access to researchdata. These results are also made public by NARCIS.
DANS provides sustainable access to research data from the humanities and social sciences through EASY, an online archiving system. Researchers can use EASY to archive their own research data for the long term.
NARCIS (a service of DANS) is the gateway that provides access to hundreds of thousands of scientific datasets from researchers at Dutch universities and research institutes.
