Why OPEN POLAR?
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is a 60% findability gap of the polar
\nrecords based on the records numbers of 115
\nmetadata providers (doi.org\/10.7557\/7.4682)<\/h4>\n

This 60% findability gap raises an awareness sign of the need of the scientific community to create a homogeneous, seamless database of the open-access records about the polar regions and making this database available to researchers, students and the wider public through one search platform.<\/p>\n

Based on the obligations and the motivations of the University of Troms\u00f8 \u2013 the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) toward making research data and research documents available to the scientific community, UiT together with the Norwegian Polar Institute launched the OPEN POLAR project.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Vision and aims<\/strong><\/h1>\n

is to offer a unique and comprehensive service that makes polar research results more easy to find.<\/p>\n

To attract more researchers, students and decision makers to use the service, we aim to add three additional subservices:
\n1) archiving original data from the Polar Regions;
\n2) creating a research platform;
\n3) creating an education platform.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The integration between the main service (i.e. make open-access polar records more
\nvisible and findable) and the three new subservices.<\/h4>\n
