Open research data: a first look at sharing practices
© SNF
Researchers funded by the SNSF are expected to share their datasets in public repositories. A first look shows that many researchers are not regularly reporting their datasets to the SNSF, but most of those provided follow FAIR principles.
Since the introduction of its Open Research Data (ORD) policy in 2017, the SNSF requires the submission of a Data Management Plan (DMP) with most of its funding schemes. Data produced by all funded research is expected to be deposited in public repositories and to follow the FAIR data sharing principles.
The percentage of completed SNSF grants that have declared at least one dataset to the SNSF as part of their output data is continuously increasing across all funding schemes and research domains.
