ANR
Project Design
- Open science and issues related to data management and data openness must be addressed in the methodology section of the detailed proposal
Data Management Plan
- Mandatory deliverable
- Three successive versions must be submitted: within 6 months of contract signing, at the midpoint of the project (for projects lasting more than 30 months), and at the end of the project
- Not part of the project evaluation
Data Dissemination
- Not yet mandatory, but strongly recommended
- Starting with the 2023 Call for Proposals (AAPG), it is recommended that source code be made open and deposited in the Software Heritage archive
Cost Coverage
- Data management and dissemination: if invoiced before the end of the project
Horizon 2020, including ERC until 2020
Non-mandatory measures
āData Openness Pilotā was optional in 2014, then rolled out widely in 2017 but remains optional, with the option to opt out of the program at any time.
Project Setup
- Mandatory: draft āPlan for Dissemination and Exploitation of Resultsā at the time of submission
DMP, if participating in the pilot
- mandatory; 3 versions to be submitted
- within 6 months of contract signing, at mid-project, and at the end of the project
- evaluated
Data Dissemination
If participating in the pilot, not necessarily for all data:
- Data whose sharing was announced in the DMP and supplementary data
- Deposit, preferably in a data repository, as soon as possible
- Where possible, allow third parties to access, explore, use, reproduce, and distribute the data free of charge (e.g., by granting a CC-BY or CC0 license)
