Open access to research data

The Swedish Research Council is mandated to coordinate, follow up and promote collaboration in Sweden’s transition to open access to research data. This page contains information, guidance, and support for those working on this issue.

Open access to research data means that research data are published freely available on the internet

If these data can be used and reused with no conditions other than stating the source, they are defined as ‘open research data’. Far from all research data can be fully openly accessible. The assessment of openness shall be based on applicable legislation, and the principle of “as open as possible and as limited as necessary”.
