Analysis of Open Research Data (ORD) Practices in Swiss Higher Education Institutions

FORS, the Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Sciences, is pleased to announce the publication of the landscape analysis on Open Research Data (ORD) practices in Swiss higher education institutions, conducted as part of the recORD project. You can access the outcomes of the landscape analysis here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12755475.

The recORD project (Recognise ORD) brought together 12 Swiss higher education institutions, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and FORS as a national research data infrastructure to study how Open Research Data (ORD) practices should be recognised and valued in the assessment of: research proposals, research personnel during recruitment and career development; and of institutions that perform research.

The dataset used for the analysis will be available soon on SWISSUbase and the R-code will also be available soon for access on the FORS Replication Service. For more informationon the recORD project, you can visit this page on the FORS website.
