Global Access Program

DataCite is a leading global non-profit organization that provides persistent identifiers (PIDs) for research data and other research outputs. DataCite has introduced the Global Access Program (GAP) with the aim to improve equity, access to and adoption of persistent identifier (PID) infrastructure for communities in under-represented countries, including all African countries.

African research is still not receiving the right visibility due to several factors, including a lack of appropriate repositories with trusted PIDs, inadequate infrastructure to project the outputs, poor metadata for visibility, technical gaps, low awareness about the importance of PIDs, and institutional buy-in. Through GAP, DataCite's dedicated resources will collaborate with the research community and stakeholders to promote Africa’s indigenous knowledge and contributions to research outputs.

Buenos Aires" y "Identificadores Persistentes (PIDs) y Ciencia Abierta en América Latina" continuamos difundiendo la importancia, los beneficios y casos de éxito de la adopción de Identificadores Persistentes en la región.

Institutional repositories (IRs) play an important role in supporting open research practices by making various research outputs such as datasets, preprints and reports more accessible, discoverable, and citable. Using persistent identifiers (PIDs) for research outputs can maximize the discoverability and support in making research data FAIR. PIDs are unique and permanent identifiers that can be used to identify and cite research outputs over time. This is important for open research because it allows researchers to share their work with others and to track its impact.

DataCite is thrilled to launch a Global Access Fund (GAF), established to enable organizations worldwide to make their research outputs discoverable. It will provide financial support for outreach activities and infrastructure development to enable more organizations to benefit from DataCite infrastructure services. The GAF is part of the DataCite Global Access Program (GAP) made possible by grant Grant 2022-316573 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Applications are open to non-profit stakeholders within the research ecosystem (e.g. research institutions, associations, NRENs, government bodies, service providers) based in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia.

DataCite se complace en lanzar el Fondo de Acceso Global (Global Access Fund, GAF), creado para permitir a organizaciones de todo el mundo aumentar la visibilidad de sus resultados de investigación. Esta nueva iniciativa proporcionará apoyo financiero para actividades de divulgación y desarrollo de infraestructuras que permitan beneficiarse de los servicios de infraestructura de DataCite. El GAF forma parte del Programa de Acceso Global (Global Access Program) de DataCite, posible gracias al apoyo de la Iniciativa Chan Zuckerberg. Las solicitudes están abiertas a organizaciones (entidades legales) sin fines de lucro dentro del ecosistema de investigación (por ejemplo, instituciones de investigación, asociaciones, NRENs, organismos gubernamentales, proveedores de servicios, etc.) con sede en África, América Latina, Oriente Medio y Asia.

Asian countries are producing various research outputs and resources, such as datasets, dissertations, and protocols. These outputs are not getting the recognition and visibility they deserve. Adoption of persistent identifiers (PIDs) can improve the discoverability of these outputs and promote reusability by sharing them with the broader research community.

En la investigación, la gestión eficaz de datos es crucial para el avance científico y la colaboración global. En este seminario web, exploraremos los Principios FAIR (Encontrables, Accesibles, Interoperables y Reutilizables) y su papel en la gestión de datos en la investigación. Hablaremos sobre la adopción de principios abiertos y FAIR, su impacto en la calidad y colaboración en la investigación, y la importancia de la citación de datos a través de la iniciativa "Make Data Count" de DataCite. También escucharemos experiencias de una organización miembro de DataCite y cómo han implementado flujos de trabajo en su repositorio de datos.

Türk araştırma kurumları veri setleri, tezler ve protokoller gibi çeşitli araştırma çıktıları ve kaynakları üretmektedir. Bu çıktılar hak ettikleri en iyi tanınırlığı ve görünürlüğü alamıyor. Kalıcı tanımlayıcıların (PID'ler) benimsenmesi, bu çıktıların keşfedilebilirliğini artırabilir ve bunları daha geniş araştırma topluluğuyla paylaşarak yeniden kullanılabilirliği teşvik edebilir.
