    The Value of an Open Scientific Data and Documentation Platform in a Global Project: The Case of Zenodo

    No full text
    Open Science is a movement aimed at promoting public access to all scientific research products, without barriers or restrictions. Open Data refers to the practice of sharing research data in a way that assures that the research is accessible, reusable, and reproducible for everyone. Leveraging these two principles, scientists can validate results, and findings, conduct new research, and promote scientific progress. Open data also enables interdisciplinary collaborations and the exploration of research questions beyond the original scope of the data. The most appropriate means used for implementing Open science and open data are digital, collaborative technologies. One notable example of a platform facilitating information dissemination is Zenodo, a free virtual repository based on the CERN developed Invenio software suite. Zenodo serves as an open access and open data platform, offering researchers, scientists, and individuals a centralized, durable, reliable, scalable, free, and accessible space to share, publish, and preserve their research outputs. Zenodo provides various features and benefits that foster knowledge advancement and collaboration within the research community. By promoting open access, Zenodo enables the global dissemination of research findings, eliminating obstacles such as geographic and financial constraints. It is challenging to accurately capture the impact of scientific dissemination, both social and economic. This is particularly the case for a free, “catch-all” repository, which permits any user to supply and access non-reviewed information. This report provides a quantitative estimate of the monetary value that a virtual repository represents based on a multi-component model in which the different parts of the system are quantified using appropriate distinct methods. This study uses the virtual repository Zenodo as a reference case for the ex-ante societal impact analysis for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) at CERN, assuming that in the lifetime of such a new research infrastructure, at least one comparable development will be required due to the collaborative nature of scientific physics research with particle accelerators and colliders. Our results indicate a discounted socio-economic impact potential of about 2.8 billion CHF for an observation period of 29 years, from 2028 to 2057

    The Value of a Collaborative Platform in a Global Project. The Indico Case Study

    No full text
    The rise of collaborative platforms has revolutionized the way individuals and organizations interact. The impact perimeter embraces interpersonal communication, knowledge sharing, and collective problem-solving. Indico, a web-based platform providing a free event management system, designed, implemented, maintained, and operated by CERN is a prime example of such type of platform. It provides a range of features and benefits for organizations and individuals hosting events of any kind. Indico improves work efficiency by streamlining the event management processes, reducing manual effort, and saving time. It also leads to sustainable practices and cost savings by eliminating paper-based processes and minimizing physical infrastructure requirements. It enhances accessibility by offering virtual event options, enabling wider participation, and promoting inclusivity. The platform fosters interdisciplinary knowledge sharing and collaboration among event participants by serving as a persistent and durable repository of presentations, articles, minutes, and writeups, including publication and protection mechanisms. Making event-relating materials available online contributes to knowledge dissemination and advancing research and professional communities. Additionally, Indico can further contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions through virtual events and reducing the use of paper. The data management and reporting capabilities of Indico enable data-driven decision-making for future events and resource allocation. This article reports on the socio-economic value of the Indico platform. The presented work used the stated preferences approach to estimate the socio-economic value that can be expected from a collaborative platform that a future large-scale international research infrastructure will require and put in place for its purposes. The approach taken to monetarize the socio-economic impact produced by the platform is the Choice Experiment Method. The monetary values obtained amounts to about 3.1 billion CHF discounted for a period of 29 years (2028–2057)

    Tracing Different Types of Local Economic Benefits of RIs: The Case Study of LHC

    No full text
    CERN is operating the world’s largest particle accelerator complex in the world. The interconnection of versatile particle accelerators working with different particle beams at different intensities and energies continue to attract scientists and engineers from all over the world. The socio-economic effects generated by the presence of in the region are manifold. They include, but are not limited to consumer spending, real-estate investments and local business and services activities, investments in education, leisure activities and tourism, urban development and tax contributions. This chapter traces different local socio-economic effects of concentrating a large number of people around a research infrastructure
