CZ-OPENSCREEN provides the services either under open access policy or on the commercial basis, when user pays the full cost of the project. As part of open access cooperation, Material Transfer Agreement is concluded between CZ-OPENSCREEN and the user. Project accepted to the open access program is evaluated by the Open Access Committee.
PROJECT
APPLICATION
Users interested in the Open Access collaboration are required to describe their
current knowledge and background in the field using the online form. Data
provided in the initial stage is fully confidential. In the next step, users are
contacted by the CZ-OS team to discuss experimental design and feasibility, as
well as additional conditions necessary for an Open Access application. When
the application is succesfully evaluated, an OA contract is signed and
experiments are scheduled.
Open access colaboration is tightly linked to the principles of FAIR and OPEN
DATA. Therefore, the data is fully annonated in the internal database (ScreenX).
Users can opt for to 36 months of embargo period, when the acquired data are
fully confidential. After this period, annonated results will be published in an open database resource.
