Building an
Internet of Places
iPlaces is a powerful platform for marine stations to professionally review, publish and share research.
Builds on a familiar journal model
iPlaces leverages the existing journal model of submit and review. Marine stations 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 Marine 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.
