Connecting Place to Planet
Our interactive platform provides field stations with a way to review and publish research projects and connect those projects to their downstream outputs.
We help field stations manage project applications with open infrastructure.
Familiar user experience
Custom review process
Polished landing pages
Managing project applications to access field stations is complex, time-consuming, and often unsupported. iPlaces changes that with a streamlined platform designed specifically for Field Station Directors.
We are piloting iPlaces with two working field stations.
Access the system through ORCID
All station staff, reviewers, and submitters access the iPlaces platform using their ORCID credentials. This reduces the accounts a person needs to keep track of. It also allows people to keep their login as they change institutions.
Customize your application and review
All station staff, reviewers, and submitters access the iPlaces platform using their ORCID credentials. This reduces the accounts a person needs to keep track of. It also allows people to keep their login as they change institutions.
Connect research back to place
All station staff, reviewers, and submitters access the iPlaces platform using their ORCID credentials. This reduces the accounts a person needs to keep track of. It also allows people to keep their login as they change institutions.
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.
Tetiaroa, French Polynesia
Interested Field Stations?
If your site is interested in collaborating please send us an email at info at fairisland.org or fill out this expression of interest.
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.
