2. Open Science and Research Initiative 2014-2017
Ministry of Education and Culture initiative for the promotion of information availability and open science
Goal is to make Finland a leading country in openness of science and research by the year 2017
The initiative scope includes research publications, data, and methods
Several open science services are offered by the Ministry to researchers
openscience.fi

3. Open Science and Research services
Services offered by the Ministry of Education and Culture
Services provided by various partners, incl. CSC
Services free of charge to end-users
Services recommended by research funders, e.g. the Academy of Finland
Existing services are developed continuously and new services piloted within the initiative

4. For whom are the services offered?
The services can be utilized by a single researcher, a research group or a research network operating across organizations
Research organizations can offer their data to be published in the services and utilize their storage quota
The Ministry of Education and Culture offers the services to the actors in the Finnish research system so the services are free of charge to end-users

5. Why use the services? Risks related to data loss and misuse decrease
Data are safely stored for reuse and have a permanent identifier enabling e.g. citation
You may use others’ data and share your own facilitating collaboration in research groups and between organizations
Openness increases the visibility of research
Support for data policies and answers to funder requirements
Several services and customer support free of charge

6. What can one do with the services?
Open science services support various stages of the research process and levels of openness
You can store, describe and share your data
You can also search and utilize data from others
Data is managed within the service portfolio using unique and permanent identifiers
The descriptive information enables controlled data sharing and ensures that the author and owner of data gain merit

7. Services support stages of the research process
Open data publishing platform
Data management planning tool
Digital preservation service for research
Research data finder
Research data storage service

8. Data Management Planning Tool DMPTuuli

9. A tool for researchers and research organisations for creating data management plans (DMP)
Assists in data management planning at all stages of research projects
Includes generic DMP guidance and additional guidance provided by research funders, organisations and disciplines
Produced in the national Tuuli-project with a user driven approach
Service is based on the open source DMPonline tool produced by the UK’s Digital Curation Centre

14. IDA research data storage service

15. IDA is a research data storage service for researchers in Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences as well as researchers funded by the Academy of Finland
Several user interfaces and secure storage procedures designed for stable datasets and raw data
Data owners decide on the openness and data usage policy
Will form part of the long-term preservation system of research data
Continuous service offered by MINEDU and produced by CSC
openscience.fi/ida

16. IDA enables
Storage space usage via browser, command line or file transfer program
Secure storage procedures with data replication and a geographical distance to the organization
Project-based access to data e.g. within a research group, also across organizational boundaries
Automatic creation of metadata (e.g. persistent identifiers assigned) and data publishing when desired
Data stored in IDA are among the first candidates for the long-term research data preservation service 

17. Becoming an IDA user Submit your application online:
User rights quotas assigned to universities, universities of applied sciences and Academy of Finland
