IMOS documents discoverable through Ocean Best Practices System

IMOS adds more best practice documentation to the Ocean Best Practice System, contributing to the requirement for collaborative ocean observing to follow well-defined and reproducible methods.

The Ocean Best Practices System (OBPS) repository is an online open access document repository, which aims to provide a discovery point for research groups to search and find existing community ocean best practices.  The repository is maintained by the International Oceanographic Data and information Exchange (IODE) of the UNESCO-IOC as an IOC (IODE, GOOS) co-ordinated activity.

There have been a total of 23 individual documents (nine revised) submitted, published and discoverable in the last two financial years in Ocean Best Practices System (OBPS) repository  – adding to the existing five.

All current available reports can be discovered HERE.

The latest 14 distinct documents (links below) cover Facilities and sub-Facilities of the IMOS program.  IMOS AODN continues to manage the submission process, assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), depositing the documents locally, ensuring access is granted from relevant pages on the IMOS website and from the relevant dataset collections on the AODN Portal.
