Data re-use
Because the tools managed by AIS CR provide data predominantly under Open Access policy, it is not possible to monitor the use of the data provided or what outputs are generated by it. However, as we are legally obliged to report this information, we kindly ask you as the AIS CR users to cooperate in reporting the scientific outputs that were generated using AIS CR data, tools and services.
Every AIS CR user is therefore obliged to:
- always indicate in the usual way in specific outputs that the AIS CR infrastructure has been used to produce them, referring to the data or tool used;
- when entering output information into the Results Information Register – RIV (e.g. at the institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences sites via the ASEP database), select the proper link of the result to the AIS CR infrastructure in the field of LRI (Large Research Infrastructures) from the offered project code list of large research infrastructures;
- kindly let us know via this questionnaire that the output has been published.
