Open Science in COVID-19 research - ZonMw

"Here we provide information about open science, open access publications and FAIR data stewardship aiming at the research community that works on the current COVID-19 outbreak. The information is also a guidance for ZonMw’s requirements and recommendations in its research programmes for COVID-19. It addresses the following research activities:

1. Transparency on research projects
2. Creating FAIR data
3. Access to research data
4. Sharing of research findings through open access publications

For these research activities, we point to the latest developments for FAIR data management (e.g. from VODAN, Health-RI, RDA COVID-19 working group) and open science practices that are relevant for COVID-19 research (as summarized by e.g. the EU Horizon2020 guidelines). The overall aim is to synergize the many efforts in the current hectic of COVID-19 research, to benefit from new developments, to find options to collaborate, and to prevent double work...."
