= Open RDI operations in universities of applied sciences
• Refers to open access publications as well as open research materials and methods
• Research data, research material and the methods applied in the research are available to all interested parties, within the limits set by research ethics and jurisprudence.
• Several project financiers demand planned data management and a free availability of publications.
• Permanent and free availability of publications can be ensured by parallel publishing the publications on the institute of higher education’s own publication archive (Theseus for JAMK).
• A data management plan is created with the help of a data management plan tool TUULI.
• Parallel publishing of scientific publications was started in JAMK in 2016, by the Rector’s decision.
