Code of Conduct for Scientific Practice
III. Verifiability
Principle
Presented information is verifiable. Whenever research results
are publicized, it is made clear what the data and the conclusions are based on, where they were derived from and how
they can be verified.
DMP clues:
• accurately documented;
• quality of data collection;
• all steps taken must be properly
reported;
• raw data;
• retention period;
• archiving.
Best Practice
III.1
Research must be replicable in order to verify its accuracy. The choice
of research question, the research set-up, the choice of method and
the reference to sources studied is accurately documented.
III.2
The quality of data collection, data input, data storage and data processing is guarded closely. All steps taken must be properly reported
and their execution must be properly monitored (lab journals, progress
reports, documentation of arrangements and decisions, etc.).
III.3
Raw research data are stored for at least five years. These data are
made available to other scientific practitioners at request.
III.4
Raw research data are archived in such a way that they can be consulted at a minimum expense of time and effort.
III.5
The source of all educational material, including oral information transfer, is stated.

Plan or planning?
• Data management is a part
of professional research.
• Data awareness and planning
are more important than the
actual DMP. Yet
– Make your plan explicit and keep it up to date;
– Try not to reinvent the wheel: lots of
DMP
templates available;
– Involve other stakeholders.

What is trust built on?
• Dedicate yourself (mission statement)
• Do what you promise (stable, sincere and
competent reputation)
• Be transparent
(peer review, get certified)

trustworthiness of digital repositories using ISO

It covers principles needed to inspire
confidence that third party certification of the

performed with impartiality, competence,
responsibility, openness, confidentiality, and
responsiveness to complaints

participate in a quality assessment
procedure as proposed by the Data

approaches”
Building Trust: CESSDA Self-Assessment Project
Participants from fifteen CESSDA member organisations
discussed the CESSDA-ERIC requirements and agreed upon using
the Data Seal of Approval (DSA) guidelines as a tool to gain
information on the level of their conformance with the DSA and
the CESSDA-ERIC requirements.
H2020 Open data pilot
• Current Guidelines Open Research Data Pilot do
not mention “trusted digital repositories”;
Annex 2 mentions “certified repositories” once.
• Understandable: there are few certified TDRs
yet.
• E-infrastructure call H2020:
Services to ensure the quality and reliability of the
e- infrastructure, including certification
mechanisms for repositories and certification
services to test
and benchmark capabilities in terms
of resilience
and service continuity of einfrastructures.
