Over the next two weeks we will be sharing news of the latest developments across the RISIS datasets. From portals that have just recently been launched, to more well established databases, there is much work continuing to improve usability, access and interoperability. If you would like more information on a particular dataset, or on the RISIS project more generally, please do not hesitate to contact us. And don't forget that there is regular training available…
The Datasets portal provides access to a set of RISIS datasets free of charge. The access is offered through a two-step process: i) Accreditation: researchers need to register and agree on the conditions of use (good use of data, authorship, mentions to the RISIS project, agreement of posting results and aggregated datasets produced on RISIS website) via signing a charter of good use. ii) Selection: researchers need to proposes a project (200 words proposal) based upon the…

However, progress in the STI research field depends in our view on the ability to do large-scale studies with often many variables specified…
