Open Science for Arts, Design and Music: Guidelines for Researchers, Librarians and Practitioners in the Humanities

The guidelines "Open Science for Arts, Design and Music: Guidelines for Researchers, Librarians and Practitioners in the Humanities" were developed as part of the "Open science for arts, design and music" project to cater to the unique needs of art and design schools in Switzerland. They are based on a series of case studies provided by the project's partner institutions and have been tailored to address their requests. As a result, the guidelines offer a comprehensive approach while focusing on the specific needs of research in art, design and music.The outcome is a structured framework for planning, accessing, reusing, producing, archiving, sharing and sustainably supporting open content by researchers in these fields. Additionally, the guidelines address two relevant challenges across many disciplines: opening multimedia content and managing third-party rights.Over 30 meetings and webinars have supported the training envisioned by the project and have facilitated discussions and the development of the content for these guidelines.
