Summary
Research data is a highly valuable research output. To address this, WUR has a data policy in place which aims to keep research data safe and accessible, both during and after research
null
The WUR data policy is based on leading principles in the area of research data stewardship, such as the FAIR principles, and on national frameworks such as the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity. Research data are a highly valuable output of your research and need to be handled correctly and safely (i.e. research data management). It is only then that your research can be shared, verified and reused.
The WUR data policy applies to employees with a WUR contract, but does not apply to students unless specific agreements have been made between students and their supervisors. The WUR data policy requires that:
- Chair groups have a data management protocol in place
- PhD candidates have a data management plan
- Data is stored on secure and shareable environments
- Data underlying publications is preserved for at least 10 years
- Data that has been preserved is registered in Pure
