USIM Open Science

Implementation of open science pillars at USIM?

USIM Committees believe that science works best when research is open. Over the years, we have worked with the broader science community and forged collaborations supporting and adopting community-based open science infrastructures.

Open Science Pillars Example

Dspace Software – USIM Institutional Repositories
Dspace CRIS Software – USIM Research Repository System
OPEN ACCESS

Different repositories are adapted to the specificity of the items they contain (publications, data or code), to local circumstances, user needs and the requirements of research communities, yet should adopt interoperable standards, diverse practices and best practices to ensure the content in repositories is appropriately vetted, discoverable and reusable by humans and machines.

Open science infrastructures are often the result of community-building efforts, which are crucial for their long-term sustainability and therefore should be not-for profit and guarantee permanent and unrestricted access to the public to the greatest extent possible.
