Templates and Forms
To streamline the adoption of Open Science practices, ICArEHB provides templates and forms that guide researchers through essential processes like data management, pre-registration, and protocol development. These resources help ensure compliance with funder and institutional requirements while promoting best practices.
Data Management Plan (DMP) Templates:
- FCT DMP Template: A template designed to help researchers create a Data Management Plan that complies with FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia) guidelines, ensuring proper planning for data collection, storage, and sharing.
- ERC DMP Template: A template aligned with European Research Council requirements, ensuring that research data management practices meet European standards.
OSF Project Templates
To use templates please follow the OSF instructions on how to create a project from template.
- ICArEHB Article Template
- Course Management Template
- Research Group Management Template
- Electronic Lab Notebook Template
- Research Teams Coordination Template
Pre-Registration Forms
- Templates for pre-registration can be found on OSF. These forms help researchers outline their research hypotheses, study design, and analysis plan before data collection, increasing transparency and preventing practices like p-hacking.
Protocol Templates
- Protocols.io Templates: These templates guide researchers in creating clear, detailed protocols that include step-by-step instructions for experiments, fieldwork, or data analysis.
Metadata Templates
Ethics and Consent Forms
- Templates for informed consent, anonymization protocols, and data protection, ensuring that research involving human subjects complies with legal and ethical standards (e.g., GDPR compliance).
