The research may be published on the ClimateXChange website, the date and format of which will be determined by the Scottish Government and ClimateXChange. One or more drafts are likely to be required before a final version is agreed. ClimateXChange supports the Scottish Government Open Research Guidance for RESAS, summarised as \"open as possible, closed as necessary.\" This means that all products will be placed in the public domain, unless there is a strong argument otherwise (for example to comply with data protection regulations). Descriptions of all projects and related products will be uploaded to the ResearchFish system."
