Openness in research projects: PARTHENOS Standardization Survival Kit (SSK)

Abstract

The implementation of Open Access and Open Data is mandatory for Horizon 2020 projects, funded by the European Commission. This report focuses on considerations of Open Policies and Openness in the sciences and humanities, based on experiences gained by creating the Standardization Survival Kit (SSK). The SSK was developed as a tool within the Horizon 2020 funded PARTHENOS project. Therefore, the data harvesting platform of PARTHENOS will be presented first to show the importance of Openness and the application of standards. After a brief discussion on the FAIR data principles, the SSK tool is described and how it contributes to Openness. The SSK can be used for the documentation of Open Workflows and Open Research Methods.
