Description

This is a CIAT data management project that is looking to add value to open data that has been uploaded to their open dataverse. In other words, we are looking to create or generate data products out of the data already submitted for open access. We believe more scientist researcher (both in and out of CIAT) will be willing to submit their data for open access in various repositories once they see data projects or outputs that have been generated out of their open data. We believe this discussion will help other data managers brainstorm on the unlimited possibilities and power that lies in open data that is generated and availed daily through various researchers across the globe.

We need support from you. Just tell a brief summary of what data products or uses have been most impactful from open data at your organisation. Secondly, it would be good to here from you, how you get researchers in your organisations to willingly submit there data for open access?
