Engaging research communities for data mobilization and use

Context

Узлы играют важнейшую роль в развитии взаимодействия с исследователями в своих странах и профессиональных сетях, продвижении принципов открытой науки (в соответствии с Рекомендацией ЮНЕСКО по открытой науке) и формировании сообществ поставщиков и пользователей данных. Научное сообщество может помогать выявлять пробелы в данных, потребности в дополнительной информации и трудности, возникающие при использовании доступных данных, что позволяет узлам определять приоритетные направления своей деятельности. Ряду узлов удалось успешно интегрировать GBIF в университетские образовательные программы (см. показательный пример из Бенина), способствуя развитию профессиональных компетенций и побуждая новые поколения исследователей следовать принципам открытой науки. Развитие тематических сообществ GBIF (в том числе сообществ, посвящённых почвам, пресноводным экосистемам и переносчикам заболеваний, в 2023 году) будет способствовать росту интереса исследователей к публикации и использованию данных. В свою очередь, исследователи будут обращаться к узлам за соответствующей поддержкой.

These materials were developed as part of the 2023 Global Nodes training in Canberra, Australia.

Module 1

GBIF as a research infrastructure

В данной презентации представлена общая информация о GBIF как научно-исследовательской инфраструктуре
  • GBIF Memorandum of Understanding

    • Search for all things “science” and “research”. Tip: focus on page 2.

    • Review GBIF governance, focusing on Science committee. Explore the Terms of reference and the composition of the committee.

  • GBIF Strategic framework

    • Search for all things “science” and “research”. Tip: in 2023-2027, most of things will be under Priority 1.

  • GBIF Work Programme

    • Search for all things “science” and “research”. Tip: in 2023-2027, most of things will be under Priority 1.

  • Guide to Establishing an Effective GBIF Participant Node

    • Ознакомьтесь с четырьмя ролями/рекомендуемыми профилями для узла. Совет: обратите внимание на раздел 3.1 «Поддержка науки и научных исследований».

 

Engaging research communities - Benin

This presentation focuses on experiences engaging the research community in Benin.

 

 

Discussion

During this section you will contribute to a discussion on engaging research communities.

 

Identifying use of data

For this activity, you will watch a demonstration and then have the opportunity examine the use of science in your country.

 

  1. Scroll and select the Peer-reviewed papers using Data section on the GBIF.org homepage.

  2. Using the filters on the left, select a Topic.

  3. Using the filters on the left, select your country for the Country or area of researcher. Note the number of peer-reviewed papers.

  4. Clear your filter for Country or area of researcher.

  5. Using the filters on the left, select your country for Country or area of coverage. Note the number of peer-reviewed papers.

  6. Select one of the papers. Examine the information provided. Do you know any of the researchers?

  7. Using the search in the menu bar (magnifying glass icon), search for your country.

  8. Select your country from the result and review the Activity report. How might you use this information in engaging with researchers in your community?

Module 2

Engaging research communities - Belgium

This presentation focuses on experiences engaging the research community in Belgium.

 

 

Community engagment BINGO

For this activity, you will be placed in teams of 3-4 where you will list the community building tools and resources that your Nodes currently have, should have and would like to have in the future.

 

 

Discussion

During this section you will contribute to a discussion following the community engagement bingo activity.

 

National examples

During this section you will review several Nodes examples and contribute to a discussion on engaging research communities.

 

 

Action plan

Use this action plan to develop your strategy for engaging the research community in your country. Share with your Node buddies for feedback.
