Towards a science of quality and greater impact
Much more than the availability of publications and data in open access.
It is the openness of the scientific process, reinforcing scientific social responsibility.
It is the transfer of scientific knowledge to society.
Policies on Open Science
It is very important for ICAC-CERCA that researchers follow best practices on Open Science. That is why since 2015 our Institute has published a set of policies.
Open Science at the ICAC-CERCA
Scientific publications
The ICAC-CERCA promotes knowledge sharing among its scientific community and society as a way of supporting free access to scientific production.
READ MOREResearch Data
Sharing and responsibly managing data produced or reused in a research project is required by funders and publishers, and supports open scholarship.
READ MOREResearch Software
Code written by researchers may be integral to reported findings, and should be preserved and made openly accessible where possible, so that others can reproduce results and verify analyses.
READ MOREEducational Resources
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are course materials that are legally available on the Internet for anyone to use, edit and distribute.
READ MOREResearch Data Management training in Archaeology
An asynchronous training workshop to acquire basic notions about the concepts, methods and tools associated with data management of research.
