After submission, the data set is forwarded to the editorial board for review. The review by the Editorial Board can take up to three weeks before the dataset is released and published.

Why should I participate?

Financial recognition: Your dedicated work in promoting open data in sports science deserves to be recognized. We value your contribution and reward you for it.

Advancement of research: The data you provide will make a valuable contribution to deepening our understanding of motor performance and enable research to move forward.

Citation eligibility: By publishing your data on MO|RE data, it becomes an integral part of the scientific community. The citability (with DOI) of your contributions ensures that your research work can be taken up and reused by other scientists.

How do I receive the expense allowance?

Contact us with an informal email(more-data∂ifss.kit.edu) and we will send you the specifications for the uncomplicated application.

How big does my data set have to be?

The size of the data set does not matter.

Can I upload several data sets?

You are welcome to upload several datasets to MO|RE data. However, you can only apply for the expense allowance of €100 once.

Can I only upload data sets with sports motor skills data?

MO|RE data stores data on motor performance, so your data set for uploading must contain at least one motor test task as well as age and gender. Other additional data (e.g. results from questionnaires, activity behavior, etc.) can be uploaded at the same time within the data set.

I have further questions, who can I contact?

Have a look at our FAQs on the homepage. If your question is not answered there, please contact more-data∂ifss.kit.edu.

Take part in our winter campaign and let's advance open science together! We look forward to your valuable contributions.

With best regards,
