Participations in governance
Recherche Data Gouv
The UGA is a member of the Research Data Gouv steering committee. Launched in July 2022 and announced in the French National for Open Science 2021-2024, Research Data Gouv is a national ecosystem for sharing and opening up research data. It provides researchers with an interdisciplinary warehouse for disseminating research data, as well as support via thematic reference centres and data workshops. The Codes Data Grenoble Alpes Office has also been awarded the ‘Atelier de la Donnée’ label.
European Open Science Cloud
UGA is an observer member of EOSC. As part of Horizon Europe’s Open Science programme, EOSC offers the research community a set of services to implement the FAIR principles of research data management. The EOSC portal provides access to services, repositories and infrastructures made available in Europe for researchers.
Research Data Alliance
UGA is a member organisation of the Research Data Alliance (RDA), an international, interdisciplinary organisation whose mission is to develop best practices for data management in all communities throughout the entire data lifecycle. It is organised into think tanks that bring together all those involved in data management, including researchers, engineers and scientific and technical information professionals. The RDA offers resources, tools and standards to facilitate the management, sharing and reuse of data.
Declarations, coalitions and signatures
Declaration of Barcelona, 2024
The Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information aims to make information about scientific activities and outputs more open. This enables science policy decisions to be based on transparent evidence and complete data. It makes the information used in research evaluations accessible and verifiable to those being evaluated. Finally, it enables the global open science movement to be supported by fully open and transparent information’.
Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment, 2022
The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (COARA) is based on ten commitments that define a shared approach to implementing qualitative, rather than solely quantitative, research assessment.
Jussieu Call for Open Science and Bibliodiversity, 2017
The Jussieu Call promotes alternative publishing models. It calls on research institutions and their libraries to allocate part of their acquisitions budget to develop new forms of public, open scientific publishing in order to promote bibliodiversity.
Declaration on Research Assessment, 2012
The San Francisco Declaration on Research Evaluation (DORA) promotes research evaluation based on qualitative rather than quantitative criteria, such as impact factor and H-index. It draws attention to the biases and limitations of the dominant impact factor and urges research evaluation to focus on the content of research rather than publication lists.
