Editorial style guide
The textual approach remains serious, institutional and objective. The news must be concise and factual. All content is signed Recherche Data Gouv. A message formulated by a member of the ecosystem will be presented in quotation marks. Thus, the "I" and "we" are prohibited.
Only news, in specific cases such as quotes from actors or highlights of the ecosystem can give rise to a more festive or more committed tone.
The content respects accessibility as much as possible, for example by working to ensure that letters are accented, visuals are accompanied by metadata and captions, contrasts are in accordance with the recommendation or for example that the documents to be downloaded are weighted and associated with their format.
Iconography

Editing process
The Recherche Data Gouv communications manager is responsible for the content and layout of the Recherche Data Gouv portal.
On a daily basis, the content is updated in close collaboration with the editorial board and the management board of Recherche Data Gouv. News written by other stakeholders must be subject to a request for review by the editorial board.
The Online Help section, due to its specificity, is published by the platform resource center.
In addition to this daily scale, there is a monthly strategic review by the editorial board, which meets to think about and write or review the content for the next 30 days produced by external contributors, members of the Recherche Data Gouv ecosystem.
The average rate is one new news item per week and six new datasets valued every two months.
Anyone can contact the editorial board and suggest a modification or creation of content at the following address:
