The Documentation and Library Centre of the ICAC has launched a new website dedicated to open science, aiming to facilitate the adoption of open science practices by its research staff.
Through this new gate, the ICAC promotes the importance of sharing and managing research data following the FAIR principles and provides advice, access to tools, and services available to the research community.
For example, from the website, you can consult and download the Research Data Management Protocol of the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC), approved in 2021, as well as various guides and manuals for developing data management plans, addressing the specific needs of classical archaeology.
Additionally, the website includes a link to CORA. eiNa DMP, which streamlines the creation of data management plans, and CORA. Research Data Repository (CORA.RDR), whose mission is to enhance research efficiency and transparency through rapid dissemination of datasets and facilitating their reuse. Both resources are managed by the CSUC.

This initiative is part of the ICAC’s open science strategy, which has undertaken several actions since 2018, aiming to contribute to making science more accessible, transparent, inclusive, and equitable, providing benefits to both research staff and the general public.
The Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC) is a CERCA center (Research Centers of Catalonia), established as a consortium in 2003 by the Government of Catalonia and the Rovira i Virgili University. It is headquartered in Tarragona, a city recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000, and specializes in advanced research and education in classical archaeology. We are CERCA!
