#  2 Introduction

Over the course of a research project, considerable amounts of data are
gathered. Often, these data are not preserved or made available for reuse
later on, causing time and effort to be spent in other projects gathering
similar data. The goal of the Horizon 2020 Open Research Data Pilot is remedy
this issue, by ensuring that research data generated through a project is made
available for reuse after a projects end. The H2020 Open Research Data Pilot
is based on the principle of making data FAIR:

  * Findable 

  

  * Accessible 

  

  * Interoperable 

  

  * Reusable 

  

As a way of managing the data used during a project lifetime, a Data
Management Plan (DMP) must be created. The DMP-forms includes details on:

  * the handling of research data during and after the end of the project 

  

  * what data will be collected, processed and/or generated 

  

  * which methodology and standards will be applied 

  

  * whether data will be shared/made open access 

  

  * how data will be curated and preserved (including after the end of the project) 

  

  * ethical issues related to the data 

  

  * estimated costs associated with data archiving/sharing 

  

The creation of the DMP is the responsibility of task 2.2/deliverable 2.2. As
per the DoA, task 2.2 will fulfill three requirements as a participant in the
H2020 Open Research Data Pilot: " _Firstly, the collected research data should
be deposited in data repository (…). Secondly, the project will have to take
measures to enable third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and
disseminate this research data. Finally, a _Data Management Plan (DMP)_ has to
be developed detailing what kind of data the project is expected to generate,
whether and how it will be exploited or made accessible for verification and
reuse, and how it will be curated and preserved _ ".

#  3 Method

In order to collect information from the project participants, a form and an
explanation describing the desired content of each DMP-component was sent out
to all partners by email (both are attached in " _Appendix 2 – Templates_ ".
Detailed instructions on how to fill out the form was included in the
accompanying e-mail. Both the form and the explanation were based on the
proposed DMP-structure in " _Guidelines on FAIR Data Management in Horizon
2020_ " (2016). Along with the two forms, an example from a previous project
was distributed in the same email.

In order to harmonize the forms, the formatting of certain forms have been
edited where needed. No changes have ben made to the content.

#  4 Conclusion

The deliverable contains 38 forms, detailing the content of the different
datasets, the ways in which data will be stored and how/if it will be made
available at the project end. The forms are grouped according to case study.
Datasets not pertaining to one individual case study are grouped in a separate
category: " _Non-case study specific_ ". If no case study-specific datasets
have been submitted for a particular case study, the case study is not
included in the list in the appendix.

During the later stages of the project, relevant datasets will be uploaded to
the FarFish Database (FFDB), created as part of task 6.1 in Work Package 6
"Development of management tools" as a means of storing research data. The
FFDB will be accessible from the FarFish webpage. At- or near the project end,
datasets will be uploaded from the FFDB to OpenAire. A FarFish account has
been created on Zenodo (  _https://zenodo.org/communities/farfish2020?page=1
&size=20 _ )  . Most datasets can be made publically available, with the
exception of meeting minutes and reports from the Joint Committee meetings. A
full review of what data can, and should, be made available will be made
nearer the project end.

With the exception of personal information collected during interviews, the
potential for ethical issues raised by FarFish are relatively minor, though
this might vary from dataset to dataset. Participation in the project is on a
voluntarily basis, and participants have the right to limit the use of any
information they provide and may request that information collected is deleted
at the end of the project. FarFish follows the Eurostat rules and national
guidelines on data confidentiality, and the ICC/ESOMAR International Code on
Market, Opinion and Social Research and Data Analytics. See the "Ethics and
Security" section in the DoA for more information.

Due to the project being at an early stage, and because different work
packages are at a different time schedule, not all forms share the same level
of detail. The DMP is intended to be a "living" document, however, and will
evolve as the project progresses. Periodic revisions of the DMP are planned
once within each 18-month periodic reporting period. Ahead of each periodic
review, an email will be sent out to all project participants, asking them to
update the DMP-forms pertaining to their datasets by either editing existing
information or by adding new forms if necessary.

Extra revisions might be scheduled should it be needed. The table in chapter 0
"Revision history" provides a summary of revisions carried out over the
lifetime of this Data Management Plan. It provides a version number, the date
of the latest revision, the initials of the editor, and a comment describing
the changes made.
