SEANOE is published in Ifremer’s marine data portal. It is not an institutional repository, as it is open to all researchers in the field. What are the unique characteristics of SEANOE? What is it used for? Is it FAIR? What are the challenges and opportunities for development?
How would you describe the general mission of the SEANOE repository?
SEANOE1 allows marine science datasets to be published easily, quickly and freely. It is open to the whole international scientific community in the field of marine research. SEANOE is solely dedicated to data from different fields of marine science, such as physical oceanography, marine geology, marine biology, etc.
Each dataset published by SEANOE has a DOI (Digital Object Identifier used as a resource identification mechanism) in which the author (the producer of the data) is clearly identified. This allows for an accurate, reliable and sustainable citation.
SEANOE thus offers a solution tailored to journals, requesting that the data used in an article will be available online (e.g. PLoS ONE).
