COAR Community Framework for Good Practices in Repositories, Version 2

This is Version 2 of the COAR Community Framework for Good Practices in Repositories, which was originally published in 2020. The purpose of the framework is to assist repositories to evaluate and improve their current operations based on a set of applicable and achievable good practices. Currently, there are a number of existing frameworks and evaluation criteria for repositories, that were developed to assist repositories in improving certain facets of their operations (such as discovery, access, reuse, integrity, quality assurance, preservation, privacy, and sustainability), but these criteria are spread across different organizations and are often relevant for only one region or one type of repository. The Framework provides a global, multidimensional framework for good practices in repositories that can be applied to different types of repositories (publication, institutional, data, etc.) and in different geographical and thematic contexts.
