Creative Commons licenses are the most widely used copyright licenses for Open Access publications and have become an integral part of the publishing process in the wake of the Open Science movement. As a researcher, you will often find yourself in situations, where you must choose between several Creative Commons licenses when your manuscript is accepted for publication in an Open Access journal. Choosing a license requires knowledge of what distinguishes the individual licenses from each other.

A researcher identifier is a unique and permanent sequence of numbers and/or letters that unambiguously identifies a researcher. It gives the researcher a better visibility, allows to list his publications and to distinguish him from possible homonyms. This training session will present various researcher identifiers, highlighting their differences. The participants will then create an ORCID identifier with the help of the trainers. ORCID is an international researcher identifier, recommended by research funders and many journals.

In recent years, the so-called FAIR principles have become the gold standard for research data and are now at the core of policies from universities, funders and publishers. In this session, we will present how to write a Data Management Plan (DMP) that will help to make research data FAIR – that means Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. We will present examples from the natural, technical and life sciences.

Researchers in cultural studies disciplines and cultural institutions are increasingly confronted with the need to sustainably secure their digital research data. In this presentation, we will outline different approaches that have been developed in order to provide scholars with an infrastructure and sustainable support throughout the data life circle. We will present different solutions and examples on how open and FAIR research data is being managed in the humanities.
