Q: What does the acronym FAIR stand for?
- Free, Accessible, Integrated, Reliable
- Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable
- Fast, Accurate, Independent, Repeatable
- Flexible, Available, Integrated, Robust
A: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable

Q: Which one in the following is an example of a persistent identifier?
- DOI
- Local file name
- Storage folder
- A PDF file
A: DOI

Q: The FAIR principles apply to…
- Only scientific data
- Only commercial data
- research data, digital resources, software, and methodologies
- Only PDF files
A: research data, digital resources, software, and methodologies

Q: What is a Data Management Plan (DMP)?
- A communication plan for a research project
- A document that describes how research data will be handled during and after a project
- A document that describes how research data will be handled before the start of a project
- A list of project partners and their travel plan in a research project
A: A document that describes how research data will be handled during and after a project

Q: Which of the following is NOT typically included in a DMP?
- Data collection metadata
- Data storage and backup strategies as well as plans for long-term preservation
- Project travel schedule for all the researchers contributing to the data management activities
- Data sharing information
A: Project travel schedule for all the researchers contributing to the data management activities

Q: At what stage of a research project should a DMP be prepared?
- Only at the end of the project
- At the proposal stage and updated throughout the project
- 5 years after the end of a project to ensure robust and consolidated information
- Only upon request by the funding bodies
A: At the proposal stage and updated throughout the project

Q: Which of the following best aligns with FAIR principles in a DMP?
- Storing data on a private computer without metadata
- Sharing data only upon personal request
- Using persistent identifiers and open formats
- Publishing results without sharing data
A: Using persistent identifiers and open formats

Q: Which aspect of data security is usually covered in a DMP?
- Encryption, backup frequency, and access control
- Funding bodies
- Researchers’ salaries
- Travel plans
A: Encryption, backup frequency, and access control

Q: What is Research Data Management (RDM)?
- The process of creating data on demand
- The systematic organization, storage, preservation, and sharing of research data throughout the project lifecycle
- The financial reporting of research data management activities
- The process of storing data on tape
A: The systematic organization, storage, preservation, and sharing of research data throughout the project lifecycle

Q: Why is RDM important for reproducible science?
- It ensures that data are never copied by unauthorized users
- It allows other researchers to understand, verify, and reuse the data
- It prevents collaboration, thus preserving personal contributions to research discovery
- It guarantees that data will never be shared
A: It allows other researchers to understand, verify, and reuse the data

Q: What is data provenance?
- The process of storing data in a repository
- The documentation of the origin, history, and transformations of data
- The process of encrypting data for security reasons on tape storage
- The training process in AI modelling
A: The documentation of the origin, history, and transformations of data

Q: Why is provenance important in scientific workflows?
- It reduces the cost of managing data
- It allows researchers to trace how results were produced and ensure reproducibility
- It eliminates the need for research data management and data management plan
- It makes data secure
A: It allows researchers to trace how results were produced and ensure reproducibility

Q: In the W3C PROV model, which of the following is NOT a core concept?
- Entity
- Activity
- Agent
- Data
A: Data

Q: What is the main purpose of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP)?
- To address climate change
- To coordinate and compare climate model experiments across international research groups
- To create a single global climate model
- To provide observations from multiple sensors
A: To coordinate and compare climate model experiments across international research groups

Q: What is NetCDF primarily used for?
- Managing financial data
- Managing and storing array-oriented scientific data
- Managing metadata-only information for search & discovery
- Creating personal documents to be stored on secure storage only
A: Managing and storing array-oriented scientific data

Q: How do FAIR principles support climate research?
- By ensuring that climate data are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable
- By limiting access to a few authorized climate models
- By ensuring observational data are properly stored on encrypted storage
- By focusing only on data without caring about metadata
A: By ensuring that climate data are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable

Q: Which of the following best represents Open Science in climate research?
- Keeping climate data private within national boundaries
- Sharing climate models, datasets, and tools openly to foster collaboration and transparency
- Publishing only summary reports without underlying data
- Using only proprietary software for climate data and metadata management
A: Sharing climate models, datasets, and tools openly to foster collaboration and transparency

Q: What is the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) mainly used for?
- To provide global access to climate model data and support CMIP experiments
- To operate satellites for weather forecasting
- To share financial information among climate scientists
- To help policy makers with advanced GUI
A: To provide global access to climate model data and support CMIP experiments
