The ICO/OCCI Research Programme Community is a curated research collection.

Records may be accepted when they:

  • have a substantive and traceable relationship with the ICO/OCCI Research Programme or one of its associated research lines;
  • identify authorship, affiliations, funding and project relationships accurately when applicable;
  • represent a sufficiently stable version for public dissemination;
  • provide adequate methodological and contextual documentation for interpretation and reuse;
  • clearly identify their version, status and relationship with associated publications, datasets or projects;
  • comply with applicable ethical, legal, copyright and data-protection requirements.

The Community does not accept undocumented working drafts, unnecessary duplicates, personal, confidential, sensitive or potentially re-identifiable information, materials without clear redistribution rights, or outputs unrelated to the programme's research scope.

Acceptance into the Community does not constitute peer review or endorsement of the scientific conclusions of a record. It indicates compliance with the Community's standards of relevance, provenance, documentation and responsible dissemination.

Research data should be accompanied, whenever applicable, by sufficient documentation, metadata, codebooks and analytical materials to support interpretation, traceability and responsible reuse.
