Data management plan

FiBL-CH with the support of IFOAM EU will develop a data management plan (DMP) and policy for all data produced in the scope of LIVESEED within the first 6 months to allow high transparency. A data base will be installed on the LIVESEED homepage (WP5). In order to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (FAIR), the DMP will include instruction on data handling during and after the project, which data set need to be collected, which methodology and standards / controls are used, and which data will be shared among LIVESEED or become open access. Together with the stored data set, information will include metadata about authors and reference, data set description, a protocol on data sharing, data archiving and data preservation. All publications of LIVESEED will be proof-read by FiBL-CH or IFOAM EU to ensure the quality and coherence of the publications.
