March was a highlight for the “Open Science Label” training sessions aimed at PhD candidates at Université Côte d’Azur. The Research Support Services team notably contributed by presenting the challenges of open access publishing and its various models, with a focus on the gold model and transformative agreements (MIST21), by leading a workshop on depositing work in HAL (MIST17), and by providing guidance on managing researchers’ digital identities (MIST19).

In addition to these regular training sessions, two sessions in English were offered this year by Carolina Dias, a Brazilian PhD student currently on Erasmus exchange. She delivered a version of the open access training (MIST45) as well as a specific session on predatory journals (MIST44).

In total, more than 80 PhD candidates attended a training session this month.

Next month, the first training session on data management plans (MIST26) will begin as part of the Spring Data event.

The Bases, Corpus, Langage laboratory of Université Côte d’Azur hosted the DATAZUR data workshop at MSHS Sud-Est during their general assembly.

They received a presentation of the range of services offered by the DATAZUR data workshop, as well as the resources and services deployed across the Recherche Data Gouv ecosystem.

It is very valuable for us to take part in laboratories where data culture is well established and long standing; we can draw inspiration from this to create new synergies with the ecosystem’s modules. Next step: entity DMP! 📝

👩‍🎓 Sur le campus Valrose, deuxième masterclasse Science ouverte à Université Côte d’Azur, cette fois-ci à destination des doctorantes et doctorants des ED « Sciences et Technologies de l'Information et de la communication » et Sciences Fondamentales et Appliquées.

A signaler : pour la première fois cette année, les doctorantes et doctorants recevront à l’issue de leur participation à la Master Class un hashtag#openbadge, qui atteste que son détenteur a participé en présentiel à la journée entière et a assisté aux présentations et aux ateliers, et qu’ils peuvent partager librement sur les réseaux sociaux !

🎊 Good wishes for the New Year and sunny greetings from the libraries of Université Côte d’Azur !

To begin 2026, we are pleased to share the strong activity over the past two years in the creation of ORCID affiliations at UniCA: nearly a 40 percent increase in creations between 2023 and 2025, most of them being employer affiliations.

This momentum is in particular the result of a proactive policy to support the scientific community in the creation and alignment of digital identifiers (such as ORCID, IdHAL and IdRef), with the support of the Research Services mission team during halathons, dedicated workshops held as part of masterclasses for PhD students, as well as during doctoral training sessions.

----------------
🎊 Bonne année et tous les vœux ensoleillés de la part des bibliothèques d'Université Côte d'Azur !

Pour commencer 2026, nous sommes heureux de partager la forte activité depuis deux ans dans la création d'affiliations ORCid à UniCA : près de 40% d'augmentation des créations entre 2023 et 2025, dont une majorité d'affiliations employeur.

Cette dynamique est notamment le résultat d'une politique volontariste d’accompagnement de la communauté scientifique à la création et à l’alignement des identifiants numériques (ORCid, IdHAL, IdRef…), avec le soutien de l'équipe de la mission Services aux chercheurs lors des halathons, lors des ateliers dédiés au moment des masterclasses à destination des doctorants, ainsi que lors des formations doctorales.

📊 The DATAZUR data workshop is improving the UniCA institutional spaces.

The Recherche Data Gouv data repository enables researchers to deposit datasets when no trusted thematic repository exists in their discipline.

https://entrepot.recherche.data.gouv.fr/dataverse/univ-cotedazur/

The UniCA institutional space is expanding: each laboratory now has its own collection, and a carousel has been added to make navigation easier. A new banner identifying the repository also accompanies these changes.

During this project, the data workshop team was also able to identify and link to certain collections datasets created by researchers affiliated with Université Côte d’Azur who had not used the institutional space when depositing their data.

-----------------
📊 L'atelier de la donnée DATAZUR améliore les espaces institutionnels UniCA

L’entrepôt de données Recherche Data Gouv permet aux chercheurs de déposer des jeux de données à défaut de disposer d’un entrepôt thématique de confiance dans leur discipline.

https://entrepot.recherche.data.gouv.fr/dataverse/univ-cotedazur/

L’espace institutionnel UniCA s’enrichit : chaque laboratoire dispose désormais de sa propre collection, et un carrousel a été ajouté pour faciliter la navigation. Un nouveau bandeau identifiant l’entrepôt accompagne également ces évolutions.

Lors de ce projet, l’équipe de l’atelier de la donnée a également pu identifier, puis lier à certaines collections des jeux de données dépendant de chercheurs affiliés à Université Côte d’Azur qui n’avaient pas utilisé l’espace institutionnel lors de leur dépôt.

💎 After extensive software development, the diamond open access publishing platform Epi-Revel has just undergone a major update of Omeka, the software that enables it to operate and manage its content. Until now, the site had been running on a version dating from 2017 (v2.0.2) and has now moved to the latest version released last August (3.2).

Although the changes are invisible to users, the list of functional updates is much more substantial. Many features have been updated, such as search, harvesting and content display, but the most important improvement concerns the site's security. The 2017 version contained numerous security vulnerabilities affecting both users and administrators. The vast majority of these vulnerabilities has now been fixed, and the site can now use more recent and more robust content modules than before.

--------------------------

💎 Après de longs développements informatiques, la plateforme de publication en modèle diamant Epi-Revel vient de subir une mise à jour majeure d'Omeka, le logiciel lui permettant de fonctionner et d'administrer son contenu. En effet, le site fonctionnait jusque-là sur une version datant de 2017 (v2.0.2) et passe désormais sur la dernière version à jour d'août dernier (3.2) !

Si les changements sont invisibles du côté utilisateur, la liste des changements fonctionnels sont bien plus conséquents. De nombreuses fonctionnalités ont été mises à jour, comme la recherche, le moissonnage ou encore l'exposition de contenus, mais le changement le plus important concerne l'aspect sécurité du site. La version de 2017 présentait à ce jour de nombreuses failles de sécurité, tant pour les usagers que pour les administrateurs du site. L'immense majorité de ces failles a donc été corrigé, et le site peut à présent utiliser des modules de contenus plus récents et plus robuste qu’auparavant.
