Open Data at UMR Géographie-cités

Within the framework of Open Science, UMR Géographie-cités shares datasets, source codes, and supplementary material produced by its researchers. To facilitate access to these resources and enable their reuse in accordance with FAIR principles, several collections have been made available via permanent repositories, notably Nakala and Zenodo. Feel free to consult, share, quote, and contribute!

The Guide to Open Science provides general information (brief history, legislation, current debates, etc.), as well as practical advice on open access publishing, how to avoid predatory publishers, how to open your data, our repositories, copyright, licenses, data papers, the FAIR principles etc. This guide is updated regularly.
