Science Europe released an extended version of the Practical Guide to the International Alignment of Research Data Management that includes a brand-new rubric to facilitate the evaluation of a data management plan (DMP). Argos - OpenAIRE’s interlinked DMP service - could help funders evaluate DMPs. 

We are pleased to announce our new H2020 project, OpenAIRE-Nexus, which marks the next era of the OpenAIRE services operation.  It brings together 11 partners for a duration of 30 months and a total budget of  4mi € towards a sustainable growth of an open scholarly communication infrastructure in EOSC.

 This mutual effort and collaboration between OpenAIRE and FAIRsharing will ensure that this interconnected information will provide greater knowledge to researchers and other stakeholders. For example researchers will be able to discover related standards alongside the databases that implement specific standards.

Targeting researchers, the FAIRsharing Community have published a set of criteria for the identification and selection of repositories. The aim is to make research data policies more efficient and consistent, but criteria for repositories may be too high and risk implementation.
