New version of the CEPLAS research data policy

Tue Jul 28 2026

Our partners at CEPLAS have released a new version of their research data policy. This reworked policy strengthens the cooperation with DataPLANT for FAIR research data management. CEPLAS already leverages DataPLANT’s ARChive as the platform for FAIR data publications. Two years since their first release, the updated version now incorporates the latest developments of user-interactive mechanisms for FDO validation, revision and publication as well as other tools and services to boost data management, collaboration, and long-term reuse of FAIR data across the excellence cluster and facilitate its wide adoption.
