📋 Tender Overview
In this new version, elements are added and modified that will allow a better identification of the countrys scientific information.The National Council of Science, Technology and Innovation (CONCYTEC) updated the Alicia Guide, of version 2.0.1 to version 2.1.0, which contains the guidelines for institutional repositories that make up the National Network of Digital Repositories of Science, Technology and Innovation of Open Access (RENE).
The National Digital Repository of Science, Technology and Innovation of Open Access, called Alicia (free access to scientific information), is the website that centralizes and shows production in science, technology and innovation, produced by entities of both the public and private sector, or with total or partial financing by the State (https://alicia.concytec.gob.pe/).
The Alicia guide contains the criteria for the implementation of institutional repositories (content suppliers), and addresses the necessary software tools, the mode of use and the criteria for service. It should be noted that these repositories house collections of scientific articles and other research products to make them accessible to all on the web.
Modifications
The update of the guidelines of the Alicia Guide will allow the institutional repositories of the RENE to optimize their processes and achieve higher quality standards, in line with technological advances, good international practices in open access, and within the framework of Law No. 31250, Law of the National Science, Technology and Innovation System (SINACTI).
Regarding its previous version, published in January 2021, in this new document the provisions for the registration of elements were modified, such as information corresponding to the author, editor, title, among other metadata.
Likewise, the size element was added, data that refers to the size of the publication in units of weight or measure, such as bytes, pages, centimeters, among others, depending on the properties of the attached document; and that is mandatory in case it is applicable.
The Concytec invites all those responsible for institutional repositories to download and familiarize the new Alicia 2.1.0 guide, available at: https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12390/3696.
In addition, the Concytec will soon organize dissemination and training activities to support the implementation of the new guidelines, which will be disseminated in the Portal of the National Repository Alicia https://alicia.concytec.gob.pe.
