Working groups

Publications college
At the heart of the cycle of research activity, the time when results are published is of prime importance. Thus, in the frame of the Committee for Open Science, for the installation of the National plan, the Publication college will deal with communication and discussion of results, and this in all their forms.

Research data college
The second commitment of the national plan for open science is an invitation to “structure and, as far as possible, make research data available to all as Open Data”.

The European and international college
The international context of open science evolves extremely rapidly, especially in Europe where this theme is strongly driven by the European Commission and the Council of Europe.

The skills and training college
The work of the college will be part of the third axis of the national plan for open science.

Evaluation
The question of evaluation of research and researchers is all the more relevant with the development of open science.

The free and open source software group
Today, software has become indispensable in all fields of scientific research, as a research tool as well as a research product and an object of research.

Open archives
In a context where the boundaries between open archives, scientific publishing, research data and research information systems are shifting and porous, a permanent Open Archives group is being set up within the Publications college to propose responses targeting open archives for the development and sustainability of open science.

Open Scientific Publishing
The Open Scientific Publishing group is a sub-part of the Publication college.

Generic simple data hosting and dissemination service
Its objective is to design a generic service for research data for which existing or future disciplinary repositories would not be a suitable solution.

The socioeconomics of scientific publication
Research project on the transformation of scientific journals’ publication models in the era of open access.

Translations and Open Science
Exploring the possibilities offered by translation technologies to promote multilingualism in scientific production.

Passport for open science
Creation and dissemination of a guide to open science for PhD students in all disciplines.

Successfully appropriating open science
Knowledge and promotion of open science practices within disciplinary communities

Electronic laboratory notebooks
The group’s mission is to put forward recommendations for the choice of electronic laboratory notebooks.

Constructing bibliodiversity project group
The Jussieu Call for Open science and bibliodiversity was published in early October 2017.

Observatory of open science practices group
The “Observatory of open science practices” project group’s mission will be to provide a feasibility report on the implementation of a permanent observatory of open science practices.

CONDITOR
National web indexing of French public research production
Conditor is a repository that indexes all the scientific output from French higher education and research institutions and laboratories and provides “qualified” metadata via APIs for identified external applications.

Visa TM project
The objective of the project is to study the conditions for the production of high value-added TDM services (Text & Data Mining) with semantic-based analysis for researchers.
Project information is available on the Visa TM blog

Development of best practices
This project group produces guides to best practices and recommendations for research and higher education actors (researchers, decision-makers, engineers, administrative staff) based on analysis of the national and European regulatory and legislative context for the development of best practices in open science.
