Citizen Science involving other actors outside the field of research, development and innovation (e.g. amateur public researchers) in research
co-assessment one way to involve the public in research
co-creation one way to involve the public in research
co-design one way to involve the public in research
copyright property the right to use a work in its original, otherwise processed or otherwise altered form, alone or in a set, or in conjunction with another work or elements, and the right to grant another person a licence (a contract authorising the exercise of the right to use the work)
Creative Commons a type of public licences
data anonymization the process of concealing the identity of the persons under study or institutions in documents that are the output of scientific research
data stewards data management experts
DMP Data Management Plan: a plan for data management designed to plan procedures for managing research data
DOI Digital Object Identifier: one of the persistent (permanent) identifiers
ECSA European Citizen Science Association
EIZ electronic information resources (electronic journals, article databases, etc.)
EOSC European Open Science Cloud: It aims to build a common research space with freely available services. It is used to store, archive and manage data for reuse, analysis and sharing.
FAIR principles The principles that data and metadata should be findable, accessible, interoperable (readable and machine processable) and reusable
free work a work of authorship whose copyright is not protected (for example, because more than 70 years have passed since the death of the last author)
HANDLE digital object identifier
Interoperability the ability of systems to cooperate or exchange data with another system
IS VaVaI Research, Development and Innovation Information System: collects information on research, development and innovation supported by public budgets in the Czech Republic
ISBN International Standard Book Number: an identifier for books and monographs
ISNI International Standard Name Identifier: an identifier of persons and organisations
ISSN International Standard Serial Number: an identifier for serials and periodicals
linked data data published on the web in machine-readable form. They link to external data sources and allow other data to link to them.
metadata / metadata record structured information (data) describing primary research data or publications
metadata standard Provides a common understanding of the meaning or semantics of data about the objects being described. It therefore enables the correct use and interpretation of data between its owners, electronic systems and users.
Open Access (OA) online access to research outputs that is free to the end user
Open Data information published in a way that allows remote access in an open and machine-readable format, and whose manner and purpose of subsequent use is not restricted
Open Licensing use of public licences to facilitate reuse of publication results and scientific data
Open Notebooks use of open (laboratory) notebooks
Open Peer Review alternative methods of peer review that seek to make the traditional peer review more transparent and accountable
Open Science (OS) an umbrella term for many new practices and goals that are fundamentally changing contemporary science and the communication of its results thanks to the development of digital and communication technologies. The ambition of Open Science is to open up the different phases of the research cycle, thereby increasing the accessibility, transparency, credibility and verifiability of research results and strengthening collaboration. This should contribute to a more effective dissemination of research results and promote the potential for their re-use.
Open Source software with an open source code
