... As an example, even early in the research process, research plans that are made openly available through a preregistration service, such as Registered Reports 107

... During this phase, researchers have immediate access to the most recent publications and have the freedom to search archives of papers, including preprints, research software code, and other open publications, as well as databases of research results, including digital information related to physical specimens, all without charge or other 1The committee acknowledges the work groups such as of the Center for Open Science and its Open Science Framework (https://osf.io) and FOSTER (https://www.fosteropenscience.eu/content/what-open-science-introduction)

... Throughout this phase, they pay close attention to the methods and tools they will use during the Knowledge Generation phase, in order to ensure that their final research results will be available in accordance with open principles. During the Knowledge Generation phase, researchers collect data, using tools that guarantee that the dataset will be stored in an interoperable format and includes appropriate documentation and metadata for easy reuse by other interested researchers at some time in the future.

... They deposit their research data and software in one or more FAIR data archives, with clear and persistent links that interlink the article, data, and software. Publicly accessible data may then be used by others in the Provocation phase to generate new ideas, marking the beginning of a new research life cycle.
From page 111...
... ORCID identifiers can also be used to unambiguously identify researchers in manuscript submission systems, grant application systems, and thesis deposit systems. Because the identifier is unique and persistent, it is not affected by changes in an individual's location, name, or affiliation.

... . The WEKA workbench is a toolkit implemented in Java, and like the R software suite, it is also designed to support the entire workflow for experimental data mining, including multiple preprocessing tools, machine learning algorithms, and visualization techniques (Holmes et al., 1994; Eibe et al., 2016)
From page 113...
... . GitHub, a startup launched in 2008 and originally intended for and used heavily by the open source software development community, is, in fact, increasingly used by researchers as a public platform for sharing their scientific data and code openly (GitHub, 2018; Perkel, 2016)

... , a free, open source software tool. The OSF provides cloud-based open project management support for researchers across the entire research lifecycle de fined by the framework: (1)

... The Digital Curation Centre maintains an extensive list of domainspecific metadata standards and, in many cases, includes pointers to tools to help implement those standards (Digital Curation Centre, 2018)
From page 116...
... Many general open data repositories, including Dryad, Figshare, and Zenodo, assign DOIs to the data they store. As the calls for FAIR research archives have increased, a number of European efforts, including the OpenAIRE project and the European Open Science Cloud, have initiated large-scale infrastructure projects.

... project, for example, has developed a suite of open science training materials, including courses on open science policies, practices, and resources, research workflow and design, text and data mining methods, data management, legal issues, and responsible conduct of research (See Box 4-3)

... is the creation of a FOSTER portal, an e learning platform that contains training resources covering a wide range of open science topics for different users, including early career researchers, data managers, librarians, funders, research administrators, and graduate stu dents. The portal includes over 1,800 reusable training materials, 17 self learning courses, and eight moderated e-learning courses in six languages (EIFI, 2017; FOSTER, 2017)

... Sloan Foundation, provides a cross-institutional staffing model for training data curators to build an innovative community to promote data curation practices (Johnston et al., 2017; Data Curation Network, 2018)
From page 120...
... In addition, open science by design raises some questions about roles and responsibilities that have not been fully resolved. For example, should the burden of deposition in publicly accessible archives be shouldered by the organization (publisher or otherwise)
