League of Data

training

A pilot gamification of the CESSDA Data Management Expert Guide that can be used in the SSH and beyond, among partners and the wider EOSC ecosystem. The gamification service should be applicable for other tools which will be made clear once the gamification platform is built. SSHOC LoD (League of Data) platform shall support and motivate researchers to publish their research data, by providing guidance for the publishing process. Researchers will be able to test their knowledge, run a checklist on their Data Management Plan and data publishing, and get in touch with peers. To increase the attractiveness of sharing data, the LoD will implement gamification mechanisms and elements.
