General guidelines & naming convention
Data collection by ESRs needs to comply with the « FAIR » principle.
To ensure lisibility:
- Data is to be uploaded in English (or original language for corpuses)
- Data is to be made accessible via free or “Office” software
- For corpuses, data is to be uploaded in .txt format For raw data, .xls or .cvs formats are to be favoured
- For written documents, .doc formats are to be favored To ensure inter-operability (using data extracted from other databases):
- The same numbering as the original one is to be used (e.g. CELEX)
- Complete bibliographical references are to be included
To ensure quality and compatibility of data:
- Names of countries are to be included using the international nomenclature (e.g. BEL; CAN;…)
- Code books are to be made available in their entirety incl. inclusion/exclusion rules; an exemple for each node (ref. Invivo); and corpus of texts are to be full
A GEM-STONES’ naming convention has also also agreed upon:
- For bibliographic listings: First_Author_Family_Name_Year_Full_Document_Title (max 12 words)
- For data: ESRX_Title_Given_To_Data_Cluster_VX
- For working papers: First_Author_Family_Name_Year_Full_Document_Title (max 12 words)
