Local Stakeholders
In order to implement this ambitious policy, UGA has brought together various stakeholders and supporters of open science in order to develop relevant and effective information, training tools and support services.
In addition to the Codes Data Grenoble Alpes Office and the HAL UGA Office, the following resources and services are available to the community:
Centre Mersenne for Open Scientific Publishing
The Mersenne Centre for Open Scientific Publishing is an open access publishing platform for scientific journals, books and seminar proceedings written in LaTeX. The centre provides a distribution platform for journals and a variety of technical and publishing services. The centre aims to support academic publishers by providing them with reliable, long-term tools and promoting free and open access to research results. For example, the centre has been publishing Comptes Rendus de l’Académie des Sciences since 2020 and Peer Community Journal since 2021.
The centre is based on a Diamond Open Access model (there are no publication or subscription fees), thanks to institutional support.
The Mersenne Centre is developed by Cellule Mathdoc and supported by CNRS, Grenoble Alpes University, and Grenoble IDEX. The DEMOS project (Développements Éditoriaux du centre Mersenne pour l’Ouverture de la Science), supported by the Mathdoc joint service unit, was one of the winners of the call for projects issued by the National Fund for Open Science.
Numdam (NUMérisation de Documents Anciens Mathématiques)
NUMDAM (NUMérisation de Documents Anciens Mathématiques) is the French digital library for mathematics. The programme aims to digitise and disseminate archives of mathematical publications, including journals, conference proceedings and seminar collections, from their first issue up to the 2000s and, for some journals, to more recent years. Almost 60,000 articles from 39 journals and 37 seminar collections, as well as theses dating from before 1949, are now freely accessible. NUMDAM is a joint initiative of the French Ministry of Research and the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), developed by the Cellule MathDoc, a joint service unit of the CNRS and Grenoble Alpes University.
UGA Editions
UGA Editions is the multidisciplinary publishing house of Grenoble Alpes University. Its primary mission is to disseminate research results, knowledge, and expertise to the widest audience. In this context, 12 journals have been made accessible digitally and in open access on the OpenEdition portal thanks to a successful cooperation with OpenEdition since 2019. Two encyclopaedias, Encyclopedia of the Environment and Encyclopédie de l’Energie, designed and produced by groups of researchers and teacher-researchers from several Grenoble-based organisations and institutions, are also available online. UGA Editions assists any UGA journal that wishes to move to open access.
Plateforme Universitaire de Données Grenoble Alpes (PUD-GA)
The Plateforme Universitaire de Données Grenoble Alpes (Grenoble Alpes University Data Platform) is a support platform for quantitative research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. It aims to promote the use of major surveys, databases, indicators and other quantitative data among researchers, teacher-researchers, PhD students and students in these fields.
