• A growing trend among scholars, government
agencies and international organisations to
share data outputs, codebooks and software.
• Data in the Social Sciences & Humanities
– Numerical data for scholarly research: economics,
sociology, political economy, economic history &c.
– Qualitative: case studies, text coding/analysis,
interviews, images.
• Research Data Management
– Science funders increasingly require DMPs
• eg. EU Horizon 2020
– Data security: especially micro data
– Documentation on dataset changes, variables,
software versions and pre-agreed terms of access
and use.
H-2020
• ‘Societal Challenges’ categories:
– Europe in a changing world – inclusive, innovative and
reflective Societies

• How will this data be exploited and/or shared/made
accessible for verification and re-use? If data cannot
be made available, explain why.
• How will this data be curated and preserved?

made available on an open basis.
– Commission project officers can open a feedback/negotiation
phase to discuss DMPs.
