Independent tech for place-based publishing

iPlaces is a powerful platform for anchor institutions to professionally create, review and share research.

Builds on a familiar journal model

iPlaces leverages the existing journal model of submit and review. Anchor institutions can define the roles. 

Complete control of your application and review process

iPlaces allows for custom station applications and review processes. 

Built using global research infrastructure

iPlaces connects downstream data back to the places that steward it. 

Participating Field Stations

The iPlaces Project is currently being piloted by the University of California, Berkeley, Gump South Pacific Research Station, and the Tetiaroa Society’s Ecostation.

Field Station FAIR & fair Toolkit

Building on experience with the Tetiaroa Ecostation, we have developed a toolkit which includes a generic place-based data policy for reuse and modification at other sites, details on sharing projects and more.

Researcher Guidance

The FAIR Island Project provides research guidance on using identifiers like ORCiDS for peoples, linking DMPs to projects, and sharing research outputs back to the field station.  

Integrate with Existing Infrastructure

Integration with other systems is a core requirement and scalable benefit of the Project. These PID connections facilitate further development of the DataCite Commons interface as a field station dashboard. Additional social network analysis is also possible.
