and identified, indicating, in particular, the type of repository
(institutional, standard repository for the discipline, etc.). In case the
dataset cannot be shared, the reasons for this should be mentioned (e.g.
ethical, rules of personal data, intellectual property, commercial, privacy-
related, security-related).

 **Archiving and preservation** (including storage and backup) - Description
of the procedures that will be put in place for the long-term preservation of
the data. An indication of how long the data should be preserved, what is its
approximated end volume, what the associated costs are and how these are
planned to be covered.

#  3 ATLAS’ Grant Agreement - Article 29 – Dissemination of results, open
access and visibility of EU funding

The Data Management Plan and Open Science Policy of project ATLAS specifically
address Article 29 of the Grant agreement. It is included here as a key
reference.

##  29.1 Obligation to disseminate results

_Unless it goes against their legitimate interests, each beneficiary must — as
soon as possible — ‘disseminate’ its results by disclosing them to the public
by appropriate means (other than those resulting from protecting or exploiting
the results), including in scientific publications (in any medium). This does
not change the obligation to protect results in Article 27, the
confidentiality obligations in Article 36, the security obligations in Article
37 or the obligations to protect personal data in Article 39, all of which
still apply._

_A beneficiary that intends to disseminate its results must give advance
notice to the other beneficiaries of — unless agreed otherwise — at least 45
days, together with sufficient information on the results it will disseminate.
Any other beneficiary may object within — unless agreed otherwise — 30 days of
receiving notification, if it can show that its legitimate interests in
relation to the results or background would be significantly harmed. In such
cases, the dissemination may not take place unless appropriate steps are taken
to safeguard these legitimate interests. If a beneficiary intends not to
protect its results, it may — under certain conditions (see Article 26.4.1) —
need to formally notify the Agency before dissemination takes place._

##  29.2 Open access to scientific publications

_Each beneficiary must ensure open access (free of charge online access for
any user) to all peerreviewed scientific publications relating to its results.
In particular, it must:_

  1. _as soon as possible and at the latest on publication, deposit a machine-readable electronic copy of the published version or final peer-reviewed manuscript accepted for publication in a repository for scientific publications; Moreover, the beneficiary must aim to deposit at the same time the research data needed to validate the results presented in the deposited scientific publications._

  

  2. _ensure open access to the deposited publication — via the repository — at the latest:_

    1. _on publication, if an electronic version is available for free via the publisher, or ii. within six months of publication (twelve months for publications in the social sciences and humanities) in any other case._

  
  

  

  3. _ensure open access — via the repository — to the bibliographic metadata that identifies the deposited publication. The bibliographic metadata must be in a standard format and must include all of the following:_

    1. _the terms “European Union (EU)” and “Horizon 2020”; ii. the name of the action, acronym and grant number; iii. the publication date, and length of embargo period if applicable, and iv. a persistent identifier._ **29.3 Open access to research data**

  
  

  

  

_Regarding the digital research data generated in the action (‘data’), the
beneficiaries must:_

  1. _deposit in a research data repository and take measures to make it possible for third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate — free of charge — the following:_

  

  

_i. the data, including associated metadata, needed to validate the results
presented in scientific publications as soon as possible; ii. other data,
including associated metadata, as specified and within the deadlines laid down
in the 'data management plan';_

  2. _provide information — via the repository — about tools and instruments at the disposal of the beneficiaries and necessary for validating the results (and — where possible — provide the tools and instruments themselves). This does not change the obligation to protect results in Article 27, the confidentiality obligations in Article 36, the security obligations in Article 37 or the obligations to protect personal data in Article 39, all of which still apply. As an exception, the beneficiaries do not have to ensure open access to specific parts of their research data if_

  

  

_the achievement of the action's main objective, as described in Annex 1,
would be jeopardised by making those specific parts of the research data
openly accessible. In this case, the data management plan must contain the
reasons for not giving access._

##  29.4 Information on EU funding — Obligation and right to use the EU emblem

_Unless the Agency requests or agrees otherwise or unless it is impossible,
any dissemination of results (in any form, including electronic) must:_

  1. _display the EU emblem and_

  

  2. _include the following text: “This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 678760”._

  

  

_When displayed together with another logo, the EU emblem must have
appropriate prominence. For the purposes of their obligations under this
Article, the beneficiaries may use the EU emblem without first obtaining
approval from the Agency. This does not, however, give them the right to
exclusive use. Moreover, they may not appropriate the EU emblem or any similar
trademark or logo, either by registration or by any other means._

##  29.5 Disclaimer excluding Agency responsibility

_**Any dissemination of results must indicate that it reflects only the
author's view and that the Agency is not responsible for any use that may be
made of the information it contains.** _

##  29.6 Consequences of non-compliance

_If a beneficiary breaches any of its obligations under this Article, the
grant may be reduced (see Article 43)._

#  4 ATLAS’ Data Management Plan (DMP)

ATLAS will generate diverse research outputs, including data, software and
scientific articles about physical oceanography, biogeochemistry, visual
surveys of biodiversity, biological rates and traits measurements, genomic
analyses, socio-economic metrics, and spatial planning. This diversity
requires an ambitious data management plan, building on existing open science
resources that are interoperable and trusted. The key to implementing ATLAS’
Data Management Plan is to appoint an information specialist (UniHB) with
experience in marine science who will act as facilitator between ATLAS
partners and six open science resources:

  * ENA, the European Nucleotides Archive (  _http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena_ ) 

  

  * PANGAEA, Data Publisher for Earth and Environmental Science (  _http://www.pangaea.de_ ) 

  

  * EuBI, Euro-BioImaging (  _http://www.eurobioimaging.eu/_ ) 

  

  * ZENODO, EU-funded open access digital repository (  _https://zenodo.org_ ) 

  

  * OpenAIRE, H2020’s research monitoring infrastructure (  _https://www.openaire.eu_ ) 

  

  * EMODnet, the European Marine Observation and Data Network (  _http://www.EMODnet.eu_ ) 

  

In compliance with H2020’s Open Research Data Pilot, these resources (i.e.
ENA, PANGAEA, EuBI) ensure that _**data sets are** _ _**archived and
preserved** _ , using a _**reference and name** _ (i.e. authors, year, title,
DOI or accession number), a _**description** _ (i.e. targeted use,
geolocation, methods, link to related articles), and community _**standards
and metadata** _ (i.e. parameters semantic, formats, units, and use of
ontologies and registries). Unless authors request that data be embargoed (see
ATLAS’ Open Science Policy below), data sets archived at ENA, PANGAEA, EuBI
are available freely in open access (see Task 8.3 below). Moreover, data
sharing and reporting to the EC is maximised by disseminating metadata to
OpenAIRE and EMODnet (see Tasks 8.4 & 8.5 below). A _**list of data and
metadata expected from ATLAS’ research activities** _ is provided in Appendix
I, based on previous EU projects that conducted similar studies, i.e. HERMES,
HERMIONE and CoralFISH. The Data Management Plan of ATLAS is coordinated by
Work Package 8, and is articulated around five key objectives/tasks:

##  Task 8.1 Engage ATLAS partners in H2020’s Open Research Data Pilot

This task essentially consists in effectively communicating the founding
principles and implementation steps of ATLAS’ DMP and Open Science Policy to
all partners of the project. This will be achieved by personal communication
between partners and the information specialist (UniHB) during the entire life
cycle of the project. Furthermore, ATLAS will engage in the development of
community-oriented services that help deposit, link and enrich research
outputs as part of OpenAIRE-Connect.

##  Task 8.2 Assemble relevant research outputs from past EU‐funded and
nationally‐funded efforts

This task will assemble a collection of research outputs (e.g. literature,
data, maps and model outputs) available in open access from past and on‐going
research initiatives that are relevant to Atlanticecosystem‐based research.
These include projects funded under FP6 (HERMES), FP7 (HERMIONE, CoralFISH,
THOR, EURO‐BASIN, FixO3) and H2020 (AtlantOS and SponGES), and initiatives
funded in the USA (NOAA) and Canada (DFO). This task will establish a list of
data and metadata expected from ATLAS’ research activities (see Appendix I).

##  Task 8.3 Safeguard and publish ATLAS’ research outputs in open access

Research articles will be published in peer-reviewed journals and other
digital material (other than data) will be deposited at ZENODO. Nucleotides
data, imaging data, and environmental data (including bathymetry, physics,
chemistry and biology) will be deposited in the selected data archives, i.e.

European Nucleotides Archive (ENA), Euro-BioImaging (EuBI) and PANGAEA,
respectively.

There are two main routes towards open access to literature and data
publications:

  * **Gold open access (open access publishing)** means that data sets or articles are immediately provided in open access by the publisher. The business model of most journal publishers is shifting the payment of publication costs away from readers (subscription charges) towards the authors (Article Processing Charges, APCs). These costs can usually be borne by the university or research institute to which the researcher is affiliated, or to the funding agency supporting the research. ATLAS partners are strongly encouraged to use their institutional or ATLAS funds to publish research articles in Gold Open Access. Publishing data at ENA, EuBI and PANGAEA also follows gold open access but the cost model is different. ENA and EuBI are European Infrastructures and therefore offer their service free of charge to authors. The publication costs of data sets at PANGAEA are included in the budget of ATLAS’ UniHB partner. The information specialist (UniHB) will assist ATLAS’ partners in publishing their data in open access. 

  

  * **Green open access (self-archiving)** means that data sets or articles are archived (deposited) for free by the author in an online repository. In the case of articles submitted to a non-open access journal, a final, peer-reviewed and proofed-read version can be deposited in Green Open Access. Some journal publishers request that open access is granted only after an embargo period has elapsed. Research outputs that are published in non-open access by ATLAS partners will be deposited at ZENODO. The information specialist (UniHB) will assist ATLAS’ partners in publishing their data in open access. 

  

##  Task 8.4 Monitor and report on ATLAS research outputs using OpenAIRE
(M6‐M48)

This will be achieved by actively monitoring data and literature publications
from ATLAS partners using services from DataCite and Thompson Reuters, and by
maintaining close communication with ENA, EuBI, PANGAEA and ZENODO. The
information specialist (UniHB) will ensure that all research outputs (e.g.
literature, data, maps and model outputs) from ATLAS are cross‐linked and
monitored by OpenAIRE. The information specialist (UniHB) will also assist
ATLAS partners in engaging and using OpenAIRE-Connect. OpenAIRE will be used
to report on research outputs from the project
(https://www.openaire.eu/project/ATLAS). The following deliverables will also
provide regular updates on ATLAS research outputs:

  * D8.2 18‐month progress report on ATLAS data integration in EMODnet 

  

  * D8.3 36‐month progress report on ATLAS data integration in EMODnet 

  

  * D8.4 42-month Synthesis of ATLAS research outputs available in open access 

  

##  Task 8.5 Transfer ATLAS research outputs to science and industry
stakeholders using EMODnet

ATLAS research outputs (i.e. data and linked journal publications) available
in open access will be transferred to EMODnet, using the interoperability
protocols specified by the different EMODnet thematic nodes (e.g. bathymetry,
chemistry and biology).

#  5 ATLAS’ Open Science Policy

The Open Science Policy of ATLAS provides clear rules for safeguarding,
sharing and facilitating reuse of research outputs (e.g. data, articles,
cruise reports, presentations, posters, outreach material, code, software,
tools, etc). In compliance with Article 29 of the Grant Agreement, and
following best practices described in the Data Management Plan, individuals
who are involved in ATLAS activities will:

  * register at ORCID (  _http://orcid.org/_ )  and communicate their ORCID ID to the ATLAS project office ( _katherine.simpson@ed.ac.uk_ ); 

  

  * ensure that Cruise Summary Reports (CSRs) (including a list of sampling activities, measured parameters and contact details of principal investigators for each parameter) are deposited in open access at ZENODO (  _https://zenodo.org/deposit/new?c=atlas_ )  no later than three months after the cruise; 

  

  * 45 days prior to submitting a manuscript for publication in a scientific journal, a draft version must be sent to the ATLAS project office (Katherine Simpson, _katherine.simpson@ed.ac.uk_ and Murray Roberts, _murray.roberts@ed.ac.uk_ ), indicating to which journal it will be submitted. The draft can consist of the complete manuscript, or include at a minimum the title, authors and abstract. The project office will make sure that the EC is properly acknowledged in the manuscript and will send the authors a contribution number. The draft will be placed on the password protected area of the eu-atlas website and all ATLAS partners will be informed by email by the Project Office. Comments about the draft manuscript (or abstract) should be sent directly to the authors and any concerns should be raised with the project coordinator. Unless issues have been raised during a period of 30 days, it is considered that all partners have read the research output and agree with its content; 

  

  * ensure that the final version of all research outputs (e.g. data, articles, cruise reports, presentations, posters, outreach material, code, software, tools, etc) are deposited at ZENODO  ( _https://zenodo.org/deposit/new?c=atlas_ )  as soon as possible and no later than three months after their production. Access to these research outputs can be restricted. Research outputs deposited in ZENODO are automatically reported to OpenAIRE and to the EC; 

  

  * ensure that their research outputs are made available preferably in gold open access (or a least green open access) as soon as possible and at the latest six months after publication; twelve months for publications in the social sciences and humanities; twenty-four months in the case of unpublished data that are part of a research thesis; 

  

  * ensure that all research outputs display the EU emblem, include the following text: “ _This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 678760 (ATLAS). This output reflects only the author’s view and the European Union cannot be held responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein”._

#  6 Appendix I – Parameters expected from research activities of ATLAS

The following table was compiled from data sets published from three previous
European projects that were similar in scope to ATLAS, i.e. HERMES, HERMIONE
and CoralFISH. We therefore expect that the parameters listed in this table
will either be measured during field and experimental campaigns organised by
or in collaboration with ATLAS partners, or re-used from already published
data sets.
