Find research datasets worth reusing

Improving access to and reuse of research results, publications and data for scientific purposes - Stakeholders' consultations results

<p>The data sets were created via data collection effort for the Horizon Europe-funded "study to evaluate&nbsp;the effects of the EU copyright framework on research and the effects of potential interventions and to identify and present relevant provisions for research in EU data and digital legislation, with a focus on rights and obligations". The study was contacted by DG RTD.&nbsp;</p> <p>This research project supports Action 2 objectives of the European Research Area (ERA) Policy Agenda 2022-2024, which aims to propose&nbsp;an EU legislative and regulatory framework for copyright and data that is fit for research. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of barriers to the access and reuse of publicly funded research, including scientific publications and data. It assesses existing EU copyright legislation and EU data and digital legislation. It also assesses regulatory frameworks and national initiatives and identifies potential areas for improvement.</p> <p>Using a methodological, evidence-based approach (including the survey results posted in this repository), the study presents possible&nbsp;legislative and non-legislative measures to improve the current EU copyright and data framework and align it with the needs of scientific research and open research data principles.&nbsp;</p> <p>The data sets include the raw data of the three surveys (survey 1 targeted at researchers, survey 2 targeted at research-performing organisations, and survey 3 targeted at publishers). All surveys have two major parts: one concerning copyright legislation and another concerning data and digital legislation. In addition, we provide interview notes, they are also organised into two parts: one concerning copyright legislation and another concerning data and digital legislation.&nbsp;</p> <p>The data collection effort was partially supported by our colleagues from the Institute for Information Law (IVIR) and KU Leuven CiTIP.&nbsp;</p>
