Open Access, Open Research Data und Qualität in der Wissenschaft | Alles Google und frei?

[From Google's English] "Open access to scientific publications improve the quality of research, promotes innovation and progress, and enables faster and better knowledge transfer between research institutions and social actors. This was the main thrust on DART-workshop (DART = Improving Data Access and Transparency Research) on 7 November in Bern. The focus was not so much the research results, but the Open Access publication of the research data together with accompanying materials.  The workshop showed that this is not so simple: For example, data must be anonymised especially from the social sciences, so that their publication is not legal or ethical guidelines is contrary. And to reproducible results and to make data available for other research questions, it needs a lot of information about the origin of the data. Incentives for researchers, clear guidelines as well as the simplest possible handling are therefore necessary. Asked in this context not only the researchers and research institutions, but also research funders, libraries and publishers. Even in Switzerland, moved a lot in the 'Open Research Data': The SNF discussed and refined the existing general call for publication of research data (cf. § 44 of the. Post Regulations ). As part of the SUK-P2 program on access to scientific information is a platform created to make available research data more visible and usable ( ORD @ CH ) and different institutions are in the process build repositories for their data."
