What part of the data can be made openly available or published? Where and when will the data, or its metadata, be made open?
Describe what part of your data you will preserve, where it is preserved, and for how long.
Include at least the following information:
- Which parts of the data, codes, or software will be published either fully openly or made available to a restricted user group defined by the researcher.
- Which parts of the data, codes, or software will not be made openly available and the reasons for this (justified reasons include data protection, endangered species information, trade secrets, etc.).
- A preliminary plan for the timeline and platform for opening the data. If possible, also mention which license you plan to use. Repositories that provide a persistent identifier (PID) for the data are preferable.
If the data or parts of it cannot be opened, it is important to justify why opening is not possible. Opening metadata meets the Research Council of Finland's requirements for data openness in situations where opening the data itself is not possible.
Avoid redundancy with the publication plan! Note that publishing results in a research article is not the same as opening the research data.
