r3d100011397 AEKOS Data Portal Advanced Ecological and Knowledge Observation System Data Portal http://www.aekos.org.au/index.html#/home TERN's AEKOS data portal is the original gateway to Australian ecology data. It is a ‘data and research methods’ data portal for Australia’s land-dwelling plants, animals and their environments. The primary focus of data content is raw co-located ‘species and environment’ ecological survey data that has been collected at the ‘plot’ level to describe biodiversity, its patterns and ecological processes. It is openly accessible with standard discovery metadata and user-oriented, contextual metadata critical for data reuse. Our services support the ecosystem science community, land managers and governments seeking to publish under COPE publishing ethics and the FAIR data publishing principles. AEKOS is registered with Thomson & Reuters Data Citation Index and is a recommended repository of Nature Publishing’s Scientific Data. There are currently 97,037 sites covering mostly plant biodiversity and co-located environmental data of Australia. The AEKOS initiative is supported by TERN (tern.org.au), hosted by The University of Adelaide and funded by the Australian Government’s National Research Infrastructure for Australia. esupport@tern.org.au disciplinary 3.432.272 records 2011 eng 2 Life Sciences 201 Basic Biological and Medical Research 20107 Bioinformatics and Theoretical Biology 202 Plant Sciences 20202 Plant Ecology and Ecosystem Analysis 203 Zoology 20303 Animal Ecology, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research 207 Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture and Veterinary Medicine 21 Biology 23 Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture and Veterinary Medicine 3 Natural Sciences 315 Geophysics and Geodesy 34 Geosciences (including Geography) http://www.ecoinformatics.org.au/about_aekos Images Plain text Scientific and statistical data formats dataProvider Australia FAIR environmental data experimental data fauna flora inventory data plant traits site-based (point) ecological data surveillance and long-term monitoring data terrestrial ecology National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy NCRIS AUS funding non-profit https://www.education.gov.au/national-collaborative-research-infrastructure-strategy-ncris Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, Eco-Informatics Facility TERN, Eco-Informatics Facility AUS general non-profit http://www.ecoinformatics.org.au/eco-informatics_facility enquiry@ecoinformatics.org.au http://www.ecoinformatics.org.au/contact_us University of Adelaide AUS technical non-profit https://www.adelaide.edu.au/ ROR:00892tw58 Legals, Licensing and Attributions http://www.ecoinformatics.org.au/licensing_and_attributions TERN Data Licensing Policy https://www.tern.org.au/rs/7/sites/998/user_uploads/File/Data%20Licensing%20Documents/TERN%20Data%20Licensing%20Policy%20v1_0.pdf TERN Data Licensing Principles https://www.tern.org.au/rs/7/sites/998/user_uploads/File/Data%20Licensing%20Documents/TERN%20Data%20Licensing%20Principles.pdf TERN Data Licensing https://www.tern.org.au/datalicence open open CC https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/deed.en Copyrights http://www.ecoinformatics.org.au/licensing_and_attributions other https://www.tern.org.au/TERN-s-Data-Licences-pg22188.html restricted other yes DOI http://www.ecoinformatics.org.au/Citing_AEKOS_Data yes unknown AEKOS Data Portal is covered by Clarivate Data Citation Index.
