Publication Policy of the National Research Data Infrastructure for Personal Health Data (NFDI4Health) and the NFDI4Health Task Force COVID-19

One of the purposes of the NFDI4Health is to make data collected in health-related studies FAIR. The first step towards this is the publication of comprehensive information about the context and accessibility of the data (metadata set). In addition, study documents contain further detailed information needed for the correct interpretation of the collected data and should therefore be published as well. The Publication Policy describes the requirements for the publication of research data from health-related studies in the NFDI4Health Study Hub. Researchers or research groups wanting to make their studies discoverable and corresponding research data FAIR should fulfil these requirements.We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) – project numbers 451265285 and 442326535
