\n\n\"Picture<\/a>\n

Open Access and Open Data on CGIAR.org website<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\nIt also supports IITA\u2019s strategic objectives to ensure that data, information research findings, and output gain the widest possible and free access by the general public.\n\nTo protect copyright and intellectual property rights, the Policy has been aligned with the\u00a0Politique de libre acc\u00e8s et de gestion des donn\u00e9es du CGIAR<\/a>\u00a0et le\u00a0CGIAR Principles on the Management of Intellectual Assets<\/a>. By adopting this policy, IITA expresses its support to the principles of open access to publicly funded research outputs, as well as to:\n\nPromote open access to data and information produced at IITA to facilitate data and information discovery, sharing, and collaboration.\n\nClarify responsibilities so that researchers and research support staff understand what is required from them.\n\nSet out the Institute\u2019s obligations including the provision of facilities for the management of data and training, support, and guidance on good practice in data and information management.\n\nImprove access, discoverability, usability, and visibility of the Institute\u2019s research outputs, documents, and knowledge products, innovations, and technologies.\n\nProtect the legitimate interests of the Institute and of other parties.\n\nEnsure that data and information are protected from unauthorized access and avoid the risks associated with the theft, loss, misuse, damage, or abuse.\n\nUnder this policy, scientists, students, and all staff members are under obligation to publicize all data and information from projects led by IITA as well as those solely implemented by the Institute.\n\nResearchers are also encouraged to negotiate copyright terms with publishers in the event that the publisher does not allow archiving, reuse, and sharing of data. Where the Institute is involved in any collaborative research project, the policy enjoins researchers to ensure that collaborators are aware of the obligation to publish results in Open Access. The agreement must consider and make arrangements to manage the intellectual property, the ownership of equipment, research data and primary materials, and the authorship and publication prior to the commencement of the research project.\n\nThe policy also supports the publication of materials under the\u00a0Creative Commons<\/a>\u00a0licenses to promote the sharing of knowledge and the creation of open research data and outputs, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.\n\nThis year is also the Year of Open Access in IITA.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
