Archive & Publish
At the end of your research project, you need to archive your research data in accordance with the policies of your institution and/or funder. The FAIR guiding principles help you to make your data and software 'as open as possible and as closed as necessary'.
Data publication
It is always important to define how your research data can be reused by others. When there are no limitations, the data can become openly available to everyone. However, there may be reasons to restrict access to the data, for instance to protect personal data or to respect third party licences. No matter whether your research data is open or restricted, the Terms of Use of the dataset should always be defined. The Terms of Use are part of the metadata. As such, the information about the intended use of the data is always publicly available, even if access to the dataset is restricted.
