Abstract

What motivated the organization of the Hatun Tinkuy Peru [1] event, the great gathering for scientific research and production? When I started working at the Peruvian National Council of Science, Technology and Technological Innovation (CONCYTEC, original Spanish-language acronym) [2], I was given the main task of assessing the platform where national researchers’ CVs are registered, which was called the National Directory of Researchers and Innovators. We did that in 2017 and we then planned a new project, the Peruvian Current Research Information System (PeruCRIS), of which wewill talk about more in detail later. In 2018, we noticed that our national repository, Open Access to Scientific Information for Innovation (ALICIA) [3], which harvests records from other repositories, had some issues, which led us to start some projects for improving the metadata from our researchers’, research and of some repositories; these projects are still ongoing. I also noticed that Peruvian journals had several challenges. CONCYTEC is Latindex’s collection center in Peru and it also manages the SciELO Peru website [4]. Well, it turned out that Peruvian journals lacked promotion and so I met with a group of journal editing and bibliometric analysis experts to tell them that I wanted to improve our scientific communication capabilities because I noticed some other issues that prevented us from going further. That was when we came up with the idea of organizing a large conference, which would serve as an inspiration to everyone who currently edits or wants to edit journals; for everyone who knows how to do it also to share detailed knowledge on the technical and academic issues involved in the production of scientific journals. Moreover, we also wanted to invite the main companies involved as stakeholders: scientific information providers and publishers. That is howwe came up with this idea of the Hatun Tinkuy conference, which we held in 2019 [5]. I must confess that I am not an expert; I graduated as a computer engineer. I have previously published in some journals while I was studying my doctorate program, but I have never edited one. Therefore, to call the professionals is what should be done. We gathered with a large group of people to define guest speakers and topics and some colleagues from the CONCYTEC and from other Peruvian institutions advised us about the topics to be covered by the speakers; I wanted for open science to have a prominent space on the agenda. I also wanted to see how Latindex was used in other countries and so we had guest speakers from Costa Rica and Chile to tell us about it. I also wanted to have topics such as how to edit a journal and how to detect plagiarism. We held conferences and workshops
CONCYTEC:促进和评估秘鲁的科学、技术和创新
是什么推动了哈顿·廷库伊秘鲁[1]事件的组织,这一伟大的科学研究和生产聚会?当我开始在秘鲁国家科学、技术和技术创新委员会(CONCYTEC,原西班牙语首字母缩写)工作[2]时,我的主要任务是评估国家研究人员简历注册平台,即国家研究人员和创新者目录。我们在2017年做到了这一点,然后我们计划了一个新项目,秘鲁当前研究信息系统(PeruCRIS),我们将在后面详细讨论。2018年,我们注意到我们的国家存储库,从其他存储库获取记录的创新科学信息开放获取(ALICIA)[3]出现了一些问题,这促使我们启动了一些项目,以改进来自我们的研究人员,研究和一些存储库的元数据;这些项目仍在进行中。我还注意到秘鲁期刊面临着一些挑战。CONCYTEC是Latindex在秘鲁的收集中心,同时也管理着SciELO秘鲁网站[4]。结果发现秘鲁期刊缺乏推广,所以我会见了一群期刊编辑和文献计量分析专家,告诉他们我想提高我们的科学传播能力,因为我注意到一些其他问题阻碍了我们进一步发展。就在那时,我们想到了组织一次大型会议的想法,这将激励每一个正在编辑或想要编辑期刊的人;对于每个知道如何做到这一点的人来说,还可以分享有关科学期刊制作中涉及的技术和学术问题的详细知识。此外,我们还希望邀请主要公司作为利益相关者参与:科学信息提供者和出版商。这就是我们在2019年举办哈顿丁库伊会议的想法[5]。我必须承认我不是专家;我毕业时是计算机工程师。在攻读博士学位期间,我曾在一些期刊上发表过文章,但从未编辑过。因此,打电话给专业人士是应该做的。我们与一大群人聚集在一起,确定嘉宾演讲和主题,CONCYTEC和其他秘鲁机构的一些同事就演讲者将要讨论的主题向我们提出建议;我希望开放科学在议程上占有突出的位置。我也想看看拉丁语在其他国家是如何使用的,所以我们邀请了来自哥斯达黎加和智利的演讲嘉宾来告诉我们。我还想有诸如如何编辑期刊和如何检测剽窃之类的主题。我们举行会议和研讨会
