As part of the National Plan for Open Science, and more generally the main principles of open science to which it subscribes, the IRD is implementing an approach aimed at better managing the life cycle of scientific data, its sharing, exploitation and preservation.
Focusing on the many small, inaccessible and unorganised datasets, the initial aim is to provide the Institute with a tool for depositing and preserving scientific data produced by the IRD and its partners, as well as enabling them to be discovered and shared.
The warehouse service, based on the open source tool Dataverse, will be offered to researchers to control the distribution and preservation of their data and enable it to be cited using unique DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers). It is one of the elements of the system that should eventually make it possible to link data, tools, algorithms, publications and the scientists behind them, with the challenge of making the Institute even more involved in a reproducible science approach that is more open to our partners in the South and the North.
You are invited to attend the IRD Data Warehouse launch seminar on 6 September in Montpellier.
Seminar objectives
Inform you about the opening of the IRD data warehouse
To initiate reflection on the data management and development practices to be implemented at the IRD, taking into account the specific nature of the different disciplinary fields and partnerships in the South and the North.
The meeting will take place at Agropolis International in Montpellier.
