Open Science describes the movement of making any research artifact available to the public, fostering sharing and collaboration. While sharing the source code is a popular Open Science practice in software research and development, there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve the openness of the whole research and development cycle from the conception to the preservation phase. In this direction, the software engineering community faces significant challenges in adopting open science practices due to the complexity of the data, the heterogeneity of the development environments and the diversity of the application domains. In this paper, through the discussion of the 5Ws+1H (Why, Who, What, When, Where, and How) questions that are referred to as the Kipling’s framework, we aim to provide a structured guideline to motivate and assist the software engineering community on the journey to data openness. Also, we demonstrate the practical application of these guidelines through a use case on opening research data. Full article
