At the heart of the Open Science network

The Institute for scientific and technical information (INIST) is a research support unit of the CNRS. It aims to support access to scientific information, to enhance the research data, and to participate in data mining of scientific texts. It offers a variety of services, such as training, translation and monitoring services.

 

The CCSD-INIST partnership is multifaceted: participation in the moderation of HAL deposits since 2015, co-production of video tutorials, Conditor project, CorHAL project.

The Bibliographic agency for higher education (ABES) provides higher education and research establishments with a set of tools and services dedicated to the reporting and administration of the documentary resources available in their libraries.

 

The CCSD partners with the ABES for the dissemination of theses on the dedicated open archive, TEL. The ABES imports theses via the STAR application since 2009, if the defending university has chosen TEL as its full-text distribution service.

In addition, the CCSD and the ABES work together to improve identifiers alignment (idHAL, idRef, ORCID, RNSR).

RePEc is a collaborative platform which aims to enhance the diffusion of research in economics and related disciplines. At the core of the project is a bibliographic database that has become a reference in this discipline. RePEc is supplied and maintened by volunteers from over 100 countries.

The CCSD has been supplying RePEc with data since 2007: HAL metadata in economics feed the base and supplement 14 series created by French laboratories and institutions.

The role of the URFIST (Regional units for the training in technical and scientific information) is to train university users in the tools, practices and developments of scientific information.

The CCSD is associated with the regional URFIST for the organisation of training courses for the users of HAL and SciencesConf platforms. The director of the CCSD is a member of the URFIST Lyon orientation council.
