The first part showcases the work performed by SSHOC partners to achi...

Figures and case studies related to accessing and reusing the data produced in the course of scientific production.

Research data is increasingly viewed as an important scholarly output. While a growing body of studies have investigated researcher practices and perceptions related to data sharing, information about data-related practices throughout the research process (including data collection and analysis)...

The ethical and legal issues relating to research process in social sciences involving human participants had raised the concerns of policymakers, lawyers and scientists for many years. This topic especially came to the spotlight as the new GDPR entered into force in 2018. Anne-Mette Somby presen...

The breadth of the Social Science and Humanities sector has led not only to the diversification of the research methods and work practices in the field but also to diversity in the way vocabularies are used to describe, discover and access research content. The SSHOC EU thematic cluster project a...

The EOSC-Nordic project aims to facilitate the coordination of EOSC relevant initiatives within the Nordic and Baltic countries and exploit synergies to achieve greater harmonisation at policy and service provisioning across these countries, in compliance with EOSC agreed standards and practices....

SSHOC will build the Social Sciences and Humanities part of the European Open Science Cloud.
