Abstract
The overarching vision of the BE OPEN project is creating a common understanding about the practical impact of Open Science, as well as identifying and putting in place the mechanisms to make it a reality in transport research. An essential element of reaching this vision through the BE OPEN project is developing a policy framework to establish and promote the ground-rules that will enable all stakeholders, existing tools and platforms, as well as resources and content to become an integral part of the Open Science in the transport research domain. The objective of such a policy framework is achieved as a code of conduct through this deliverable, serving as basis to establish the “European Code of Conduct on Open Science in Transport” as a living document. Based on the experience gained in previous BE OPEN deliverables, the practical experience of the involved BE OPEN beneficiaries as well as the active support by the BE OPEN Advisory Board, this deliverable contains the initial version of the code of conduct, which shall be subject to ongoing adaption and change as a living document. With the main body of the deliverable and the initial version of the “European Code of Conduct on Open Science in Transport” in ANNEX 1, this BE OPEN deliverable D 4.4 consists of two basic elements creating the fundamental conditions for a living document. As such, only the material code of conduct in ANNEX 1 shall represent the living document, which in turn shall be subject to ongoing amendments based on changing EU or EU Member State laws, evolving technology or further development of ethical aspects along with associated effects on the fundamental research principles. Moreover, the main body of the deliverable serves to provide further insight on the process of developing the initial version of the “European Code of Conduct on Open Science in Transport”. This is mainly achieved by emphasising on the methodology, the definition of envisioned stakeholders and background information on the material aspects of the code of conduct consisting of fundamental research principles, ethical principles and legal compliance principles. In detail, the introduction first lists the purposes of the deliverable (Section 1.1) and then follows up with an in depth analysis of the three-phased methodology-approach (Section 1.3) consisting of defining the objectives, gathering data through surveys as well as interviews and validating the outcomes to draw conclusions. This is followed by a description of the procedure and material elements of the code of conduct as core element of the main body of the deliverable D 4.4. In particular, this consists of an analysis of the stakeholders and viable ways for reaching them (Section 2.1), the aims and envisioned procedures to accomplish the code of conduct as a living document (Section 2.2) and the scope, content and further background information on material aspects of the code of conduct (Section 2.3). The aforementioned material aspects on fundamental research principles (Section 2.3.1), ethical principles (Section 2.3.2) and legal compliance principles (Section 2.3.3) cover existing frameworks for fundamental research principles, applying them to the specifics of Open Science in transport, take into account sector-specific business models with their potential ethical effects and elaborate on the essential legal aspects of intellectual property rights, data protection, e-privacy and security. Essentially, this accompanying information is aimed to serve as repository for the interpretation of the material code of conduct Articles as well as a foundation for further amendments to the material code of conduct as living document.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
