IITA\u2019s switch to open access on CGSpace<\/a> for all knowledge products moved closer to becoming a reality this week as two parallel meetings and one seminar focusing on content and technical aspects of the switch took place in Ibadan, Nigeria. The meetings, which were organized through the IITA Capacity Development Office, took place on 19-22 October, and were facilitated by CGSpace experts\u2015Alan Orth and Abenet Yabowork from the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI<\/a>). Also taking part in the meetings were knowledge management specialists from the Centre du riz pour l'Afrique<\/a> which also plans to link its databases to the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe that if all goes according to plan, we will complete the switchover to CGSpace by 23 October as a ready-to-use repository. However, the migration of the existing publications from our publication database and some necessary curation into CGSpace might take a few weeks,\u201d noted Martin Mueller<\/a>, IITA E-Research Coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With IITA joining CGSpace, eight out of the 15 CGIAR centers will now be using the platform as their institutional open access repository of choice, thereby making the body of documents available for public access more robust. At the moment, the space already hosts nearly 50,000 documented agricultural research outputs and results produced by the CGIAR centers and their partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the right time for the switch because CGSpace gives the Institute advantages such as increased visibility, usage, and impact for our research outputs,\u201d explained Zoumana Bamba<\/a>, Head, Capacity Development Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over half of the CGIAR centers already collaborate on CGSpace, it is anticipated that other centers will soon join in to curate their knowledge products on the space. Discussions are currently underway for the involvement of the CGIAR Consortium Office<\/a> and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For IITA all the groundwork has been done in terms of setting up the display implementation, data migration, equipping data with metadata, training staff members, and applying the new CGIAR metadata core, the st andard tagging system that will be used under the open access implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is just a matter of time now before the IITA community goes live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
