Impact of containment onAbes
Due to the new health measures :
|
- the training courses planned atAbes (Coordinator Sudoc, Correspondent Star, Correspondent Calames of an establishment in deployment) are maintained on the planned dates, but offered in distance mode.
- the bridging courses Calames and Sudoc depend on the decision of the host institution: see the "Dates to remember" block below for details. Each registrant will be informed individually, including for last minute changes.
- all professional applications can be used for teleworking (for installation of WinIBW, contact the school's coordinator Sudoc ).
- all the services of theAbes are maintained; the teams remain available, behind the ABESstp help desk, to answer any specific request.

The life of networks
|
|
|
|
Network IdRef
ORCID FRANCE COMMUNITY: the governance of the ORCID France consortium is now finalised: Isabelle Blanc, Research Data Administrator (AMDRESI) at MESRI since the beginning of November 2020, has been appointed as a representative of the scientific communities and sits on the executive committee.
|
EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE ABOUT ORCID: on DoRANum, the training platform for research data, supported by INIST-CNRS and the Urfist network, an infographic is proposed, useful for promoting the identifier to the university community.
|
VISIBILITY OF THE HAL PUBLICATIONS IN THE IDREF NOTICES: thanks to the operations of alignment realized by theAbes, between the identifiers of the two bases (IdRef and HAL), the list of the HAL publications of an author is from now on visible in its notice IdRef.
|
ZOTERO CONNECTOR FOR IDREF: thanks to this connector, it is now possible to create an author's bibliography in Zotero from bibliographic references known toIdRef, whatever their source. Zotero thus makes the pivotal and aggregation role ofIdRef tangible, particularly for contemporary people working in the RSE.

Thank you to them for their collaboration!
