Open access research data. Guidelines and good practices in DIGITAL.CSIC

Abstract

Although the most characteristic documentary typology of DIGITAL.CSIC is the peer-reviewed article, with almost 60,000 works under this category (57% with access to free copies), over the years the content that can be deposited has expanded, since the results of research projects can take various forms. One of the typologies with the greatest growth in the number of records and interest among the institutional scientific community is that of the so-called research data and around them, the Technical Office of the repository maintains several lines of work, including training activities for scientific and librarian staff, the publication of good practices and guidelines for the deposit of data in DIGITAL.CSIC and an ongoing study on the habits of the scientific community in its management and dissemination.
