Open science: Jeejee
Principle 1: Responsible management of research data and methods
Research data and methods shall be managed, opened and used responsibly and appropriately.
Ensuring the realisation and monitoring of the principle:
- Baseline: Responsible management of research data and methods is the most important prerequisite for openness. The research community has identified deficiencies in its practices.
- Continuous monitoring: Continuous monitoring will be carried out as part of the national monitoring of open science and research.
Principle 2: Data management infrastructures and services
Researchers have access to infrastructures and services that enable responsible data management, and these are developed further in an economically sustainable way, taking into account the researchers’ needs.
Ensuring the realisation and monitoring of the principle:
- Baseline review: During 2021, the Open Science Coordination will, in cooperation with the research organisations and service providers, specify a minimum level of research data management infrastructures and services.
- Continuous monitoring:: No later than 2022, the Open Science Coordination will draw up an evaluation templateMaterials-footnote-8 for future use in organisations as an evaluation tool in regular self-evaluation. Continuous monitoring will be carried out as part of the national monitoring of open science and research.
Principle 3: Incentives for opening of research data and methods
The researcher’s merits in the promotion of good data management, work related to research data and methods, and the appropriate opening of research data and methods are valued and can support the researcher’s career.
Ensuring the realisation and monitoring of the principle:
- Baseline: No later than 2022, the Open Science Coordination will draw up a recommendation on good practices, i.e. how the promotion of good data management, work related to research data, and the opening of research data shall be considered in the researcher’s work, and how these merits will be evaluated.
- Continuous monitoring: Continuous monitoring will be carried out as part of the national monitoring of open science and research.

Determining commercial usage is problematic; making the NC clause is unclear and may remarkably discourage further use.
