Uncommon Commons? Creative Commons licencing in Horizon 2020 Data Management Plans

As policies, good practices and funder mandates on research data management evolve, more emphasis has been put on the licencing of data. Licencing information allow potential re-users to quickly identify what they can do with the data in question and is therefore an important component to ensure the reusability of research.

In my research I analyse a pre-existing collection of 840 Horizon 2020 public data management plans (DMPs) available on the repository of the University of Vienna, Phaidra,, to determine which ones mention creative commons licences and among those who do, what licences are being used.

This excel file contains the data underlying the publication "Uncommon Commons? Creative Commons licencing in Horizon 2020 Data Management Plans ".

Sheet 1 contains the data collected in the previous "Data Re-Use" project: 840 DMPs downloaded from CORDIS and vetted to ensure they are public documents and not copyrighted

Sheet 2 contains the same data as sheet 1, with columns D to Q not visible (for better reading) but an added column R which now contains the CC licening information (where available)

Sheet 3 is filtered so that only the projects containing CC BY relevant licencing are shown

Sheet 4 is filtered so that only the projects containing CC-BY-SA relevant licencing are shown

Sheet 5 is filtered so that only the projects containing CC-BY-NC relevant licencing are shown

Sheet 6 is filtered so that only the projects containing CC-BY-ND relevant licencing are shown

Sheet 7 is filtered so that only the projects containing Cc-BY-NC-ND relevant licencing are shown

Sheet 8 is filtered so that only the projects containing CC-BY-NC-SA relevant licencing are shown

Sheet 9 is filtered so that only the projects containing CC0 relevant information are shown

Sheet 10 provides an overview table of the relevant licences (manual entry)

Sheet 11 and 12 contain graphic visulations of the data as used in the article
