AFFORD
A Framework for Avoiding the Open Research Data Dump.
The project AFFORD aims at designing a sustainable support framework to lower the barriers to publishing data and other research outputs in an accessible form by bundling know-how, workflows, and tools under the umbrella of one organizational entity. It is a collaboration between the InterfaceGroup and the Center for Reproducible Science of the University of Zurich. It uses the Sinergia project Fluid Dynamics of the central nervous system as a reference project and accompanies this project in the full cycle of Open Research Data (ORD) generation from experiment planning to publishing. This project-based, data-driven approach will help the framework reach a sufficient level of maturity before it is made available to all university researchers.
