Data management Expand for Explanatory Notes Notes on data management section Responsible data management is part of good research. To promote effective and efficient data management, data sharing and data reuse, NWO and NSFC expect researchers to carefully manage data resulting from their funded research and prospectively plan for which data will be preserved and shared. With the data management section, NWO and NSFC mainly want to raise awareness about the importance of responsible data management. The section is therefore not included in a committee's decision about whether or not a proposal should be awarded funding. NWO and NSFC do, however, submit this section to the committee and referees for advice. It is recommended that you seek advice from a data steward or research support office at your home institution to complete this section. They will be able to recommend suitable storage facilities and repositories for your data, and to advise on data management costs. After a proposal has been awarded funding, grantees are required to elaborate the data management section into a detailed data management plan explaining how research data and other results emerging from the research funded by NWO and NSFC will be stored and made findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). What do NWO and NSFC understand as research data? Research data are the evidence that underpin the answer to research questions, and can be used to validate findings. Data can be quantitative information or qualitative statements collected by researchers in the course of their work by experimentation, observation, modelling, interview or other methods, or information derived from existing evidence. For the purpose of NWO’s data management policy, the definition of research data does not include physical objects such as scientific and archaeological collections, physical arts works or biobanks; however, digital information extracted from such objects are to be regarded as research data. Software is also not included in the definition of research data. NWO and NSFC recognise that software (algorithms, scripts and code developed by researchers in the course of their work) may be necessary to access and interpret data. In such cases, the data management plan will be expected to address how information about such items will be made available. What data do NWO and NSFC expect you share and preserve? Research results should be stored in such a way that they can be retrieved and reused in the long term, also by researchers in disciplines and organisations other than those in which the research took place. The operating principle is that all stored data are, in principle, freely accessible and that access is only limited if needed for reasons such as privacy, public security, ethical restrictions, property rights and commercial interests. NWO and NSFC expect researchers to preserve the data resulting from their projects for at least ten years, unless legal provisions or discipline-specific guidelines dictate otherwise. As much as possible, research data should be made publicly available for reuse, unless there are valid reasons not to do so. As a minimum, NWO and NSFC require that the data underpinning research papers should be made available at the time of the article’s publication. Any tools or software (algorithms, scripts and code developed by researchers in the 16/23 Cooperation China-The Netherlands (NSFC), Call 2020 – Application form course of their work) necessary to access and interpret data should be made available alongside the data. The costs of data management are eligible for funding from the NWO grant and should be included in the project budget. Important factors that determine the costs are: - the type of data; - the capacity needed for storage and backup; - the amount of work needed to allocate metadata and the compilation of other documentation such as codebooks and the queries used in the statistical package; - the extent to which the data needs to be protected; - the hiring in of external data management expertise or other expertise. 1. Will this project involve re-using existing research data? ☐ Yes: From my own or a collaborator’s prior research. ☐ Yes: Publicly available data. ☐ No: Have you considered re-using existing data but discarded the possibility? Why? If no, please briefly explain why; if yes, state any constraints on re-use of existing data if there are any. 2. Will data be collected or generated that are suitable for reuse? ☐ Yes: Please answer questions 3 and 4. ☐ 3. 4. After the project has been completed, how will the data be stored for the long-term and made available for the use by third parties? Are there possible restrictions to data sharing or embargo reasons? Please state these here. Will any costs (financial and time) related to data management and sharing/preservation be incurred? ☐ Yes: Then please be sure to specify the associated expenses in the budget table of this proposal. ☐ 17/23 No: Please explain why the research will not result in reusable data or in data that cannot be stored or data that for other reasons are not relevant for reuse. No: All the necessary resources (financial and time) to store and prepare data for sharing/preservation are or will be available at no extra cost.
