<h3>About ARGOS</h3>
<h4>What is ARGOS?</h4>
<p>Argos is an open and collaborative platform developed by <a href="https://www.openaire.eu/"
target="_blank">OpenAIRE</a> to facilitate
Research Data Management (RDM) activities concerning the implementation of Data
Management Plans. It uses OpenAIRE guides created by the <a
href="https://www.openaire.eu/task-forces-in-openaire-advance" target="_blank">RDM Task Force</a> to
familiarize users with basic RDM concepts and guide them throughout the process of
writing DMPs. It also utilises the OpenAIRE pool of services and inferred sources to
make DMPs more dynamic in use and easier to be completed and published. Argos is
based on the OpenDMP <a href="https://code-repo.d4science.org/MaDgiK-CITE/argos/src/branch/master"
target="_blank">open source software</a> and is available through the <a
href="http://catalogue.openaire.eu/" target="_blank">OpenAIRE
Service catalogue</a> and the <a
href="https://marketplace.eosc-portal.eu/services/argos?fromc=data-management"
target="_blank">EOSC</a>.</p>
<br />
<h4>Is Argos designed for one specific funder, e.g. the EC/Horizon Europe?</h4>
<p>
Argos is a flexible tool, designed to accommodate all research performing
and research funding organisations’ policies and Research Data Management (RDM) needs.
It already supports templates for different authorities.
These templates are created by Admin users in Argos.
In addition, we currently work to provide non-administrative users with the capability
to modify templates according to their own needs.
</p>
<br />
<h4>Why use Argos?</h4>
<p>Argos is easy to use and navigate around. It familiarises users with the DMP process
and provides guidance on basic RDM concepts so that users find useful resources to
learn from without having to leave the Argos environment. Users can invite their
colleagues and collaboratively work on completing a DMP. Moreover, Argos is an
integral part of the OpeAIRE ecosystem and the <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/2643199#.X3HL0WgzY2x"
target="_blank">Research
Graph</a>. Argos integrates
other services of the ecosystem to enable contextualisation of information, which is
especially useful when data are re-used, for example to understand how/ if they can
be repurposed.</p>
<br />
<h4>Who is Argos for?</h4>
<p>Argos is designed as a tool for inclusive use by researchers, students, funders,
research communities and institutions. It can be used in the context of research
projects’ conduct to comply with funders’ RDM requirements, as a tool in support of
literacy programmes in academia or can be independently deployed to meet given
stakeholder demands. Also, it is available in native languages, thanks to the help
of OpenAIRE NOADs, which strengthens common understanding of all researchers
involved in the DMP writing process.
By using Argos, researchers and students are able to create their DMPs in
collaboration with other colleagues, learn basic RDM concepts throughout the process
and publish DMPs as outputs in an open and FAIR manner, among other things by
assigning DOIs and licenses and by maintaining DMPs as living documents through
versioning.
At the same time, Argos can be configured and deployed by funders, institutions and
research communities. They can plug in their own services and/ or make use of
OpenAIRE underlying services that Argos is built with ad-hoc.</p>
<br />
<h4>Using Argos</h4>
<p>
Argos consists of two main functionalities: DMPs and Datasets.
Argos can be used for:
<br /><br /><span style="padding:20px;">
A. Viewing/ consulting publicly released DMPs and Datasets or Projects
corresponding to
DMPs
</span><br /><br />
Argos offers options for publishing DMPs in two modes, private or public. To view
public DMPs and Datasets, there is no need for login to the platform.
<br /><br /><span style="padding:20px;">
B. Writing and publishing a DMP
</span><br /><br />
Argos helps researchers comply with mandates that may be attached to their grant
proposal/ project funding. They can therefore choose from the most suitable to their
needs template from the Datasets collection and proceed with answering the
corresponding questions. Once finalized, researchers can assign a DOI to their DMP,
publish and eventually cite it.
<br /><br /><span style="padding:20px;">
C. Practicing on writing DMPs and Dataset Descriptions
</span><br /><br />
Argos may be used for educational purposes. The process of Data Management Planning
reflects the data management lifecycle, hence the tool can be used in response to
global RDM training demands. Examples may refer to embedding DMPs and DMP tools in
specific curricula or be embedded in library instructions’ sessions to familiarize
researchers and students the processes of RDM and DMP.
</p>
<br />
<h4>Can I exploit ARGOS DMPs?</h4>
<p>
Of course. If you want to compare DMPs or analyse DMP data, then we advise you to export the records in .xml.
This schema is the most complete as it includes all information held in a DMP: information provided by the Admin
when structuring the template and input provided by researchers when completing their DMPs.
</p>
<br />
<h3>Manage Account</h3>
<h4>Log in and out of Argos</h4>
<p>
You can log in Argos by selecting one of the providers from the Login page. Argos
does not require Sign Up.
</p>
<br />
<h4>Create an administrator account</h4>
<p>
If you are interested in becoming an administrator in Argos and benefit from extra
features relevant to creating tailored templates, please email <a href="mailto:argos@openaire.eu"
target="_blank">argos@openaire.eu</a> .
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Switch from administrator account
</h4>
<p>
There is no need to switch from your administrator account to use Argos. The only
difference between regular users and administrators profiles in Argos is an extra
set of tools at the bottom of the main tool bar that is positioned on the left
handside.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Change your email
</h4>
<p>
Argos does not have Sign Up. To change email, please see “Switch between accounts”.
Alternatevily, you can add more email addresses to your user account by selecting
the “Add alternative email” from your profile.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Switch between accounts
</h4>
<p>
You can switch between email accounts by loging in with different providers from the
Login page. The change depends on whether you have used different email addresses to
sign up with those providers. On the occassion that only one email address is used
for all providers offered by Argos, then no change is expected. You can always add
new email accounts in your profile from the “Add alternative email” in your profile
page.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Delete your account
</h4>
<p>
If you want to delete your Argos profile, please email <a href="mailto:argos@openaire.eu"
target="_blank">argos@openaire.eu</a> .
</p>
<br />
<h3>
Accounts access and safety
</h3>
<h4>
How can I access my account and edit my profile?
</h4>
<p>
You can access your profile page and make desired edits from clicking on the avatar
at the very top of the toolbar located on the right handside.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Can’t login to ARGOS
</h4>
<p>
Please try using a different provider from the Login page and contact us at:
<a href="mailto:argos@openaire.eu" target="_blank">argos@openaire.eu</a> .
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Accessing Argos
</h4>
<p>
If you are reading this right now, you probably know the answer already! One way to
access Argos is through the <a href="http://catalogue.openaire.eu/" target="_blank">OpenAIRE Service
catalogue</a>. Another way is through the
<a href="https://marketplace.eosc-portal.eu/services/argos?fromc=data-management" target="_blank">EOSC
Catalogue</a>. But, you can always find Argos at
argos.openaire.eu .
To access Argos software, please visit
<a href="https://code-repo.d4science.org/MaDgiK-CITE/argos/src/branch/master"

.
</p>
<br />
<h3>Argos User Roles</h3>
<h4>
Who is the author of a DMP?
</h4>
<p>
Author of the DMP is everyone contributing to writing the DMP. Both Argos owners and
Argos members are DMP authors. Researchers, however, are not DMP authors.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
What is the difference between owners and
members?
</h4>
<p>
Argos DMP owner is the person initiating the DMP. People who are invited to join the
DMP process are members who contribute to writing the DMP. DMP owners have extra
editing rights and they are the ones to finalize the DMP process. Members can view
and edit DMPs and Datasets, but can not perform further actions for its validation
or finalization.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
What is the role of a researcher in Argos?
</h4>
<p>
Researchers in Argos are project contributors and usually those who own or have
managed data described in respective DMPs.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Can a researcher be a DMP author?
</h4>
<p>
Of course! This depends on whether the researcher has also been involved in the DMP
writing process.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
What does an Admin user do?
</h4>
<p>
Not everyone can become an Admin user in Argos. This happens upon request at
<a href="mailto:argos@openaire.eu" target="_blank">argos@openaire.eu</a>. Admin users are able to create
their own tailored templates from
a specialised editor, configure their own APIs and integrate services with Argos in
collaboration with and support of the Argos development team. Fees may apply
according to the type of requests.
</p>
<br />
<h3>Creating DMPs</h3>
<h4>
I can’t find my project in the list. What should
I do?
</h4>
<p>
DMPs that are created as part of the project proposal are not included in Argos.
Only accepted project proposals are listed in the platform. If you can’t find your
project in the list (drop-down menu), please use the “Insert manually”
functionality.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
I can’t find my grant in the list. What should I
do?
</h4>
<p>
If you can’t find your grant in the list (drop-down menu), please use the “Insert
manually” functionality.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
How do I edit and design my own DMP
template?
</h4>
<p>
You have to be an Admin user to design your own template in Argos. To learn more
about Admin users, check “What does an Admin user do?”.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Can I create my own templates in Argos?
</h4>
<p>
Yes, you can, provided that you are an Admin user. To learn more about Admin users,
check “What does an Admin user do?”.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
What is the difference between “Save”, “Save &
Close”, “Save & Add New”?
</h4>
<div>
<p>They all perform the same action, but the difference lies in where you are directed
after you have saved your DMP or Dataset.</p>
<ul>
<li>
When choosing Save, information that you have added in the editor is kept
and you
can continue adding more from the same page you were working on.
</li>
<li>
When choosing Save & Close, information that you have added is kept, but the
editor’s window closes and you are redirected to your dashboard.
</li>
<li>
[only for datasets] When choosing Save & Add New, information that you have
added is
kept, and you are redirected to another editor to start a new dataset.
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
<h4>
Can I modify things once I have finalized
them?
</h4>
<p>
Yes, you can, as long as you haven’t assigned a DOI to your DMP. You just select
“Undo Finalization”.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
How do I invite collaborators?
</h4>
<p>
You may use the “Invite” button to share DMPs with your colleagues and start working
on them together.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Can scientists collaborate on the same DMP even though they may belong to different institutions (e.g. a hospital, a University, etc, collaborating on a project) and the dataset also "belongs" to different institutions?
</h4>
<p>
Of course. Argos supports collaborations across diverse teams. There are two most frequent ways that can address this question:
<br /><br /><span style="padding:20px;">
A. Everyone works on the same DMP, but on different dataset descriptions
</span><br /><br />
In this case, each organisation makes its own dataset description(s) in a single DMP.
That means that the manager (i.e. person responsible for the DMP activity) creates a DMP in ARGOS
and shares it with everyone. If the DMP is shared with co-ownership rights,
then the people will be able to edit it and add their dataset descriptions at any time during the project.
If there is the need to control editing rights of people writing the DMPs, then the manager can create the dataset description(s)
and share these each time with the team members that are responsible for adding input for the specified datasets.
<br /><br /><span style="padding:20px;">
B. Everyone works on their own DMP and content is later merged into one single DMP
</span><br /><br />
In this case, each organisation might work on their own DMP for the same project.
At one point, you need to decide which DMP is going to be the core for the work you perform, share co-ownership
between managers of all DMPs so they can copy all dataset descriptions of their DMPs in this single DMP document.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
How do I create an identical DMP or Dataset as a
copy?
</h4>
<p>
DMPs and Datasets can be cloned and used in different research contexts.
Existing DMPs presenting similarities with new ones, can be cloned, changed name and
then edited according to the new project data requirements.
Existing Datasets can be cloned and used in new DMPs that are reusing data described
in their context.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
What is the DMP version? How is it set?
</h4>
<p>
Versioning in Argos is both an internal and an external process. That means that
versioning happens both in the Argos environment when editing the DMP, and outside
of Argos when a DMP output is published in Zenodo. At every stage of the DMP
lifecycle, users have the option of keeping versions of the DMPs they are editing.
In Argos, users can create new versions of their DMPs by selecting the “Start New
Version” option to keep track of the evolution of their DMP throughout the writing
process. When published, versioning is associated with a DOI. Published DMPs are
automatically versioned every time a newer version of the same output is uploaded in
Zenodo.
</p>
<br />
<h3>
DMPs and Datasets
</h3>
<h4>
What is the DMP?
</h4>
<p>
A DMP in Argos consists of vital information about the research project on behalf of
which the DMP is created and of more in depth information about the management,
handling and curation of datasets collected, produced or reused during the research
lifetime. A DMP in Argos accommodates documentation of more than one datasets. That
way datasets are provided with the flexibility to be described separately, following
different templates per type of dataset or research community concerned each time,
also possible to be copied and used in multiple DMPs. Datasets are then bundled up
in a DMP and can be shared more broadly. Special attention is given to the handling
of data that are being re-used via OpenAIRE APIs.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
How do I find which Dataset template to use?
</h4>
<p>
This depends on the reason why you are creating a DMP in the first place. If it is
for compliance matters with funders, institutions or research communities RDM
policies, then you may select the dataset template of that particular stakeholder.
If you are creating a DMP for training purposes, you may select and work on any
template from the Argos collection.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
How do I create my own Dataset template?
</h4>
<p>
Currently, it is not possible for all Argos users to create dataset templates of
their own, so they have to work on predefined templates. Additional rights for
editing Dataset templates according to tailored needs have Admin users. This is
expected to change in the near future. To learn more about Admin users, check “What
does an Admin user do?”.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Can I create smaller versions of a template for project proposals?
</h4>
<p>
Yes, it is possible in Argos to create short versions of templates that can be used
for grant proposals, such as for Horizon Europe.
If you are interested in working with us to create this short version of any ARGOS template,
please contact us: <a href="mailto:argos@openaire.eu" target="_blank">argos@openaire.eu</a>.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Can I customise an existing template (e.g. for a specific institution)?
</h4>
<p>
Yes, you can. In the current version, this is possible for Admin users who have their own deployment on-premises or cloud.
Please note that this subject to change in the near future as we are working on a feature that will allow all users
to customise (remove/add/extend) specific questions on the template they are working on.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
What is a Dataset?
</h4>
<p>
A Dataset in Argos is an editor with set up questions that support the creation of
descriptions of how data are / have been handled, managed and curated throughout the
research data lifecycle. The editor holds a collection of Dataset templates each one
with different sets of predefined questions as per funders, institutions, research
communities RDM policy requirements. Researchers and students can choose the
template that corresponds to their RDM needs in order to get funding or get their
degree, respectively. A DMP in Argos may consist of one or more datasets.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Why do I need more than one Dataset?
</h4>
<p>
You don’t necessarily need to have many Datasets in a DMP. However, you might be
producing a plethora of data during your research that are diverse in type and/ or
scope of collection/ re-use, thus presenting diverse management needs. Argos gives
you the flexibility to describe all data produced and/ or re-used in your research
separately. That way it is easy to perform the mapping of information provided in a
DMP to the respective data types or data collections they correspond to. Equally,
reuse of particular datasets in different DMPs is easier. For the latter, please
check “How do I create an identical DMP or Dataset as a copy?”.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
It is not very clear to me when one should choose to add a dataset or to describe several "data products" in the same description.
</h4>
<p>
This is something that has to be tackled conceptually, from the author of the DMP.
If those "products" have their own lifetime and rules (IPR, Access rights, etc), they should be described as different datasets.
Alternative formats should not be treated as different datasets, unless they have other differences due to the format, too.
But, for instance, if you have datasets in CSV and JSON formats and under the same terms, they could be seen as one dataset description in the DMP.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Can I add to my DMP information about datasets published on Zenodo?
</h4>
<p>
Argos offers a search to Zenodo for prefilling the DMP you are working with dataset metadata.
This search has been developed according to the rules set by Zenodo
and therefore has the same behaviour as when you are using the search bar on the Zenodo interface.
However, we understand the need to be able to find records with their PID,
hence we introduced some changes and now support searching DOIs from the Argos interface.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Is it possible to describe a dataset that is not yet in a repository?
</h4>
<p>
Of course! You can choose to manually describe your dataset, e.g. for a dataset you are planning to produce,
instead of pre-filling the template with available metadata from a dataset that has already been shared and preserved in a repository.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
What are public DMPs and Datasets?
</h4>
<p>
Public DMPs and Public Datasets are collections of openly available Argos outputs.
That means that DMP owners and members are making their DMP and/or Dataset outputs
available to all Argos and non-Argos users who might want to consult or re-use them
under the framework provided by the assigned DMP license. Please also check “Is all
the information I create visible by default?”.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Is all information I create visible by
default?
</h4>
<p>
No, it is not. You can choose how your DMP is displayed in Argos from the
“Visibility” option. Choosing Public will immediately locate your DMP in the “Public
DMPs” collection and make it available to all Argos and non-Argos users.
Choosing Private will keep the DMP visible only to you and to the people invited to
edit the DMP in collaboration with you. Private DMPs are not publicly displayed to
other users.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
What is the difference between the DMP and the dataset export?
</h4>
<p>
DMP export contains all vital information for a DMP, including funding and dataset details,
while dataset export is a subset of the DMP export containing information only about a dataset described in the DMP.
Both DMP and Dataset exports are available in .pdf, .docx, .xml.
In addition, DMP export is available in the RDA .json format
to increase interoperability of ARGOS exchanged DMPs.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Is there a storage allowance limitation for the
DMPs and Dataset files?
</h4>
<p>
No, there is no storage limit or fee for either files stored in Argos.
</p>
<br />
<h3>
Publishing DMPs
</h3>
<h4>
Is it possible to publish DMPs in different repositories (so not Zenodo)?
</h4>
<p>
Yes, it is possible.
But, to have different repositories attached to the system, you will need your own on-premises or cloud deployment.
We are already working on that for DSpace and Dataverse repositories.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Do you know that Zenodo has empty DMPs from ARGOS?
</h4>
<p>
Yes, we are aware of that.
Argos has no control over the DMPs that you generate and publish and thus can not be held accountable for empty DMPs.
Please remember that, as on all other occasions where you publish content, you should do so responsinbly.
If you have any questions regarding publishing DMPs, don’t hesitate to contact us at <a href="mailto:argos@openaire.eu" target="_blank">argos@openaire.eu</a>.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Once I upload a final version of a DMP to Zenodo, do I need to update this first final version from Zenodo or from Argos?
</h4>
<p>
Both options are possible according to how you have deposited the DMP in the first place.
If you have deposited your DMP with a token (i.e. from the ARGOS account on Zenodo),
then you won’t have editing rights on the Zenodo record, but you will still be able to make changes
on ARGOS by starting and depositing a new version of the published DMP.
However, if you have deposited your DMP using your own account on Zenodo (i.e. login to Zenodo with your own credentials),
then you are able to also make minor changes, e.g. on the title of the DMP, directly from the Zenodo interface.
</p>
<br />
<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<h4>
Can’t finalize a DMP
</h4>
<p>
You might be experiencing this problem because there are incomplete mandatory fields
in your DMP. Please check for those fields, fill in with appropriate information and
try again. Should the problem persists, please contact <a href="mailto:argos@openaire.eu"
target="_blank">argos@openaire.eu</a> .
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Can’t co-edit a DMP
</h4>
<p>
DMPs can be shared with many colleagues in support of collaborative writing, but
DMPs should be worked by one person at a time. Argos will inform you if another
colleague has the DMP you are trying to edit open, so that your team avoids
information loss.
</p>
<br />
<h4>
Deposit is not working
</h4>
<p>
You need to have a Zenodo login to perform a deposit. Please sign up in Zenodo or
use the token option to publish your DMPs and get a DOI.
</p>
<br />
<h3>Legal and privacy</h3>
<h4>
Is Argos open source?
</h4>
<p>
Yes, it is. The OpenDMP software that Argos has deployed upon is open source code
available under Apache 2.0 license. You may find more information about the software

<!-- <h4>What is ARGOS?</h4>
<p>ARGOS is an open and collaborative platform for creating Data Management Plans according to funders or institutions’ open science policy requirements. ARGOS technology provides solutions and workflows that connect the DMP to the actual data where they are stored and link to other useful information such as publications and funding information, thus enabling the association between research outputs and processes and leading to the creation of coherent/ complete research entities. ARGOS is comprised of two major features: the ARGOS template and the Dataset Description.</p>
<br />
<h4>Who is it for?</h4>
<p>ARGOS is inclusive to all researchers and research coordinators who may use the tool to create machine actionable DMPs. Funding and Research Performing Organizations as well as research communities may use the tool and create Dataset Description templates according to their preferences or requirements. ARGOS may be used for purposes other than research projects, such as on the occasion of trainings that familiarise scientists with the data management planning process.</p>
<br />
<h4>How can I use it?</h4>
<p>ARGOS is comprised of two main functionalities: DMP templates and Dataset Descriptions. Additional entities are Projects that link to funders and grants information.<br />ARGOS can be used for:
<br /><br /><u style="padding:20px;"> A. viewing/ consulting publicly released DMPs and Dataset Descriptions or Projects corresponding to DMPs</u><br /><br />
The tool offers options for publishing DMPs in two modes, private or public. To view public DMPs and Dataset Descriptions, there is no need for login to the platform.
<br /><br /><u style="padding:20px;"> B. writing and publishing a DMP</u><br /><br />
The tool helps researchers comply with mandates that may be attached to their grant proposal/ project funding. They can therefore choose from the most suitable to their needs template from the Dataset Descriptions collection and proceed with answering the corresponding questions. Once finalized, researchers can assign a DOI to their DMP, publish and eventually cite it.
<br /><br /><u style="padding:20px;"> C. practicing in writing DMPs and Dataset Descriptions</u><br /><br />
Given that Data Management Planning reflects the data management lifecycle and in accordance/ response to the increasing demand of the global scientific/ research community for training in Research Data Management (RDM), ARGOS may be used for educational purposes. Examples may refer to embedding DMP and DMP tools in specific curricula or even utilization of the tool for researchers and students familiarization with the concept and process, as part of library instructions’ sessions.

<h4>What is the difference between the “Wizard” and the “Expert” modes/ features?</h4>
<p>There are two ways of creating a DMP: the “Wizard” and the “Expert”. The DMP Wizard combines the most necessary fields of the DMP template and the Data Description template. It is an easy way of starting a DMP and completing a Dataset Description. The downside when using the Wizard is that it only supports one Dataset Description. To add more datasets documentation, someone must open the DMP from DMP Expert.
<br />DMP expert contains extra fields for describing the project, grant, funding, contributors and associations between DMP authors, etc. DMP Expert is advised for use when further modification and personalization is to take place.
