FAIR DATA Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable

Why a Fitness Check?

Because environmental monitoring and reporting can be:

1) not always used to the fullest possible extent or used very late so that the information becomes outdated;

2) ineffective because the same information and data are asked several times or at different moments (i.e. not respecting the principle "report once, use many times");

3) creating sometimes unnecessary extra administrative efforts without clear benefits;

4) organised in a way that is not efficient and does not use information technology to the best possible extent both in the way information is processed within MS and then at the EU level.

Datasets are created with spreadsheets, local database, etc.

Datasets are analysed with great variety of software. Data must be usually converted first into suitable format.

Results of the analyses are presented in the paper. Datasets are sometimes attached as a Supplementary material. Often it means that datasets are in different file formats and are not machine readable. But they are Open Data s.l.

Some journals ask to lodge datasets in public repository like DataONE, etc. In this case again files in different formats are uploaded. Files and metadata are published with DOI.

DMP Data Management Plan describes how data are collected, managed and stored during the research project. Compiling DMP with PlutoF is simple because it is a logical part of your project description and associated datasets.

Archive PlutoF serves as a archive as well because you may store your datasets here for the unlimited time. Your datasets can be stored as such or they can be published with DOI. Dataset without DOI can be managed and changed if needed in future.

Publish There are several ways you may publish your data via PlutoF. You may export data in different formats and publish as a files. You may ask DOI for your dataset or publish data in GBIF. Then DOI is issued by GBIF. Or you can send your data directly to the Pensoft data journal.

Create Datasets are created in PlutoF either by importing data with template csv files or by uploading data manually data via online workbench. Mobile devices can be used for the fast and simple data upload via application Legulus (https://legulus.tools/#/ )

Manage/Curate Data management and curation is carried in online workbench. sit amet, at pede luctus vel gravida, nonummy massa rutrum lorem volutpat, a nunc ornare, etiam eleifend, fusce id mauris phasellus fusce ultriciesi.

Share In PlutoF you can share your datasets with any other user or workgroup. You can give simple access to your data or even right to edit your data. In this way you may collaborate with other scientists, students and citizen scientists.

Reporting is publishing

Reporting data is also publishing

Everybody who reports upstairs - correct, publishing too

What you need in upstairs?

Correct - you need manageable Fair Data because you need to report further upstairs too
