The revised European Code of Conduct on Research Integrity outlines a number of recommendations on "Data Practices and Management". These are:

" • Researchers, research institutions and organisations ensure appropriate stewardship and curation of all data and research materials, including unpublished ones, with secure preservation for a reasonable period.

• Researchers, research institutions and organisations ensure access to data is as open as possible, as closed as necessary, and where appropriate in line with the FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable) for data management.

• Researchers, research institutions and organisations provide transparency about how to access or make use of their data and research materials.

• Researchers, research institutions and organisations acknowledge data as legitimate and citable products of research.

• Researchers, research institutions and organisations ensure that any contracts or agreements relating to research outputs include equitable and fair provision for the management of their use, ownership, and/or their protection under intellectual property rights."<ref>ESF-ALLEA (2017). The European code of conduct for research integrity. Available at: http://www.allea.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ALLEA-European-Code-of-Conduct-for-Research-Integrity-2017.pdf. Accessed: June 2018.

These recommendations emphasize the importance of good data management and stewardship, however they need to be further specified in individual country or disciplinary contexts.
