The OpenAIRE's describes the FAIR Principles below:

The FAIR principles describe how research outputs should be organised so they can be more easily accessed, understood, exchanged and reused. Major funding bodies, including the European Commission, promote FAIR data to maximise the integrity and impact of their research investment.

• 'Findable' i.e. discoverable with metadata, identifiable and locatable by means of a standard identification mechanism
• 'Accessible' i.e. always available and obtainable; even if the data is restricted, the metadata is open
• 'Interoperable' i.e. both syntactically parseable and semantically understandable, allowing data exchange and reuse between researchers, institutions, organisations or countries; and
• 'Reusable' i.e. sufficiently described and shared with the least restrictive licences, allowing the widest reuse possible and the least cumbersome integration with other data sources.

Please see "FAIR Data Managementin in Horizon 2020"

"DMPonline" helps you to create, review, and share data management plans that meet institutional and funder requirements. 

Please see "Checklist for a Data Management Plan"

Why develop a data plan?

• There are many benefits to managing and sharing your data:
• You can find and understand your data when you need to use it
• There is continuity if project staff leave or new researchers join
• You can avoid unnecessary duplication e.g. re-collecting or re-working data
• The data underlying publications are maintained, allowing for validation of results
• Data sharing leads to more collaboration and advances research
• Your research is more visible and has greater impact
• Other researchers can cite your data so you gain credit

All above information is provided by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC).

Open Science provides benefits in many areas such as free and transparent sharing of research results and data using research and information technologies with the research community and public, especially increasing the visibility, traceability, efficiency and dissemination of research conducted via public resources and enhancing the productivity of scientific research system, reducing the number of duplicate research and strengthening the international bonds.

Please see SU Open Science Policy.

Plan S is an initiative for Open Access publishing that was launched in September 2018. The plan is supported by cOAlition S, an international consortium of research funders. Plan S requires that, from 2021, scientific publications that result from research funded by public grants must be published in compliant Open Access journals or platforms.

The Plan S Principles:

“With effect from 2021*, all scholarly publications on the results from research funded by public or private grants provided by national, regional and international research councils and funding bodies, must be published in Open Access Journals, on Open Access Platforms, or made immediately available through Open Access Repositories without embargo.”

*For funders agreeing after January 2020 to implement Plan S in their policies, the start date will be one year from that agreement

In addition:

1. Authors or their institutions retain copyright to their publications. All publications must be published under an open license, preferably the Creative Commons Attribution license (CC BY), in order to fulfil the requirements defined by the Berlin Declaration;
2. The Funders will develop robust criteria and requirements for the services that high-quality Open Access journals, Open Access platforms, and Open Access repositories must provide;
3. In cases where high-quality Open Access journals or platforms do not yet exist, the Funders will, in a coordinated way, provide incentives to establish and support them when appropriate; support will also be provided for Open Access infrastructures where necessary;
4. Where applicable, Open Access publication fees are covered by the Funders or research institutions, not by individual researchers; it is acknowledged that all researchers should be able to publish their work Open Access;
5. The Funders support the diversity of business models for Open Access journals and platforms. When Open Access publication fees are applied, they must be commensurate with the publication services delivered and the structure of such fees must be transparent to inform the market and funders potential standardisation and capping of payments of fees;
6. The Funders encourage governments, universities, research organisations, libraries, academies, and learned societies to align their strategies, policies, and practices, notably to ensure transparency.
7. The above principles shall apply to all types of scholarly publications, but it is understood that the timeline to achieve Open Access for monographs and book chapters will be longer and requires a separate and due process;
8. The Funders do not support the ‘hybrid’ model of publishing. However, as a transitional pathway towards full Open Access within a clearly defined timeframe, and only as part of transformative arrangements, Funders may contribute to financially supporting such arrangements;
9. The Funders will monitor compliance and sanction non-compliant beneficiaries/grantees;
10. The Funders commit that when assessing research outputs during funding decisions they will value the intrinsic merit of the work and not consider the publication channel, its impact factor (or other journal metrics), or the publisher.

What is bibliometrics?

Bibliometrics is statistical analysis of publications. Bibliometric analyses are quantitative studies of publications.

You can use bibliometrics to:

• find new research areas
• provide evidence of the impact of your research outputs (for jobs, promotion or research funding)
• identify the scientific journals to be published
• identify potential research collaborators

Types of bibliometric measures:

• Citations
• H-index
• Journal metrics such as SNIP and SJR
• Google Scholar Metrics

Find bibliometric data:

• Web of Science
• Scopus
• Google Scholar
• SciVal
• Incites
• Journal Citation Reports

What are altmetrics?

Altmetrics are metrics and qualitative data that are complementary to traditional, citation-based metrics. They can include (but are not limited to) peer reviews on Faculty of 1000, citations on Wikipedia and in public policy documents, discussions on research blogs, mainstream media coverage, bookmarks on reference managers like Mendeley, and mentions on social networks such as Twitter.

Creative Commons licenses provide an easy way to manage the copyright terms that attach automatically to all creative material under copyright. Our licenses allow that material to be shared and reused under terms that are flexible and legally sound. Creative Commons offers a core suite of six copyright licenses. Because there is no single “Creative Commons license,” it is important to identify which of the six licenses you are applying to your material, which of the six licenses has been applied to material that you intend to use, and in both cases the specific version.

CC Licenses and Examples

Attribution (CC BY)

This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered. Recommended for maximum dissemination and use of licensed materials.

Attribution ShareAlike (CC BY-SA)

This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to “copyleft” free and open source software licenses. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use. This is the license used by Wikipedia, and is recommended for materials that would benefit from incorporating content from Wikipedia and similarly licensed projects.

Attribution-NoDerivs (CC BY-ND)

This license lets others reuse the work for any purpose, including commercially; however, it cannot be shared with others in adapted form, and credit must be provided to you.

Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC)

This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms.

Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA)

This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms.

Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (CC BY-NC-ND)

This license is the most restrictive of our six main licenses, only allowing others to download your works and share them with others as long as they credit you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.

How to apply a Creative Commons licence: Creative Commons licences are free to apply to your work. To get a CC licence you can use Choose a licence tool.

Fair Use: A provision for fair use is found in the Law on Intellectual and Artistic Property Rights (Law No:5846). Under the fair use provision, a reproduction of someone else's copyright-protected work is likely to be considered fair if it is used for teaching, scholarship and research. If the reproduction is for one of these purposes, a determination as to whether the reproduction is fair use must be made based upon a factor "the amount and substantiality of the portion used". Fair use is an ambiguous concept and the law does not state exactly what uses of a copyrighted work will be considered fair uses under the law and also there is no regulation which can be applied. An assessment about fair use can be made regarding the applications in Turkey, EU and The USA. And to minimize the risk of copyright infringement Information Center interprets the following situations as fair use:

• lecture notes, exam questions or materials prepared by instructors,
• only one article from an issue of a journal,
• one chapter or 10% from an information resource, (the format changing is not accepted)
• link information of the electronic resource,
• 10% percent of movies (discussion is continuing and there is no consensus)

Plagirism: According to Oxford English Dictionary plagiarism means "The action or practice of taking someone else's work, idea, etc., and passing it off as one's own; literary theft." To avoid plagiarism, the work of another person must be cited whenever you use it.

Turnitin is used at Sabanci University to avoid plagiarism.(For more information about the Turnitin program, please contact the Information Technology department.)

Academic Integrity Statement: As mentioned in Academic Integrity Statement, during the process of academic labor, it is a sine qua non rule of academic ethics to accurately and clearly refer to each source of inspiration and information, wherever and whenever applicable. When students and educational staff are preparing materials, all types of information & information sources are used in accordance with intellectual property and commercial rights and the copyright holder is respected. Sources are not reproduced, copied, altered to another format or rented, nor are others allowed to carry out such acts.
