What is this about?
A Passport for Open Science: A Practical Guide for PhD Students (2022), produced in France, provides practical guidance for making research outputs openly accessible while balancing ethics, privacy, intellectual property, and security. It emphasizes open access to publications, Creative Commons licensing, persistent identifiers, deposition in trusted repositories, and FAIR-aligned data management plans. Responsibilities are shared across researchers, institutions, funders, and publishers, with clear guidance on planning for openness, retaining rights, acknowledging funding, and using infrastructure efficiently. Exceptions for sensitive or commercial data must be transparently justified. The guide highlights equity, zero-embargo access, multilingual communication, and minimizing publication costs, while focusing on quality of openness metadata, reproducibility, and interoperability rather than output counts. It aligns French practices with international standards like Plan S and EOSC and provides practical tools, examples, and checklists. For PhD students, it serves as a clear, actionable reference to comply with national open science expectations, improve transparency, and enhance reproducibility and equitable access.
