Description: This project deliverable has been submitted to, but not yet reviewed by the Research Executive Agency, and might thus be subject to change. This deliverable reflects the data management activities of the TIER2 project. It is the second edition of its kind aiming to inform on the processes and practices followed by the project as it has evolved in the past year. The first deliverable was published in M6 and can be found on the project’s OSF collection (OSF | TIER2 D1.2 - Data Management Plan). Although it provided a good foundation and a strategy for the consortium to kick off its activities, its dataset coverage was limited because some tasks were planned later in the roadmap. Hence, this document takes stock of previous efforts and, serving as a “living document”, it updates and extends the input provided to both record progress and changes in the decisions of the data management and reproducibility practices followed by the consortium. TIER2 will develop next-level reproducibility tools, practices & policies across diverse epistemic contexts to increase trust, integrity, & efficiency in research. In this context, TIER2 will itself adhere to radical reproducibility & transparency to ensure best practices, including adherence to Horizon Europe requirements on Research Data Management & Open Science. At the meta-level, the DMP of the project will progressively incorporate elements of reproducible research to realise a prototype of a new concept towards “Reproducibility Management Plans (RMPs)”. This enhancement will be equally supported by the development of the Reproducibility Management Plan tool that is expected to be completed over the course of the project’s lifetime. The TIER2 DMP is produced as machine actionable and FAIR output in the ARGOS service (argos.openaire.eu) and all versions of the DMP as well as its final iteration in M36 will be linked on Zenodo (10.5281/zenodo.8092430). The structure of D1.3 “Data Management Plan (Update)” follows the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Data Management Plan Template topics and answers the contained questions with information that members have provided in an aggregated form. The DMP describes both datasets and software developed in the context of the project, the latter being available in Section 3. Additionally, under other issues, we present the pre-registrations of the project pilots’ implementation plans supporting reproducibility of the projects results. At the end, we provide detailed information on these outputs in the form of tables.
