Guideline for the archiving of academic research for Faculties of Behavioural and Social Sciences in the Netherlands

March 2022 version of the Guideline for the archiving of academic research for Faculties of behavioural and social sciences. These guidelines for the archiving of academic research set out the preconditions for the archiving of data, materials and information that form the basis for publications – in other words, (descriptions of) data, materials and information that are needed in order for academic peers and other consumers of the research to replicate, reproduce, and/or assess the published research results.

Originally, around 2017 and 2018, this document was the result of the efforts of a committee established to this end by the DSW, consisting of Marc van Veldhoven (UvT, later replaced by Jelte Wicherts), Rob Eisinga (RU), Rosanne Janssen (UM) and Peter van der Heijden (UU). This latest version has been edited by the DSW committee Scientific Integrity, data storage and reproducibility, consisting of Peter van der Heijden (UU), Sander Nieuwenhuis (UL), Jelte Wicherts (UvT) and Esther Hoorn (RUG), using suggestions of a group of qualitative researchers of the UL (Wolfgang Kaltenbrunner, Marianne Maeckelbergh, Joop van Holsteijn and others).
