The main aim of this English-language training course was to acquire the skills needed to manage the documentary aspect of a collective scientific appraisal: searching for experts, searching for bibliographic material, using specific bibliographic management tools, citing bibliographic references in a text document and producing a bibliometric analysis based on a corpus. In addition, this training also aimed to raise participants' awareness of open science: identifying open-access bibliographic sources for scientific information research, and coaching researchers in best practices for scientific publication and open-access valorization (raising awareness of predatory publishers, publication costs, open-access publication paths, etc.).

The training program was developed in close collaboration with Laurence Goury, IRD documentalist.

33 participants (researchers, representatives of public administrations, professors/lecturers, NGOs, librarians) attended the training, with great interest and dynamism. The 4 days were rich in exchanges and discussions with/among participants on the methodology and tools presented.

The training course was organized on the initiative of Malyne Neang (co-founder of the Ecoland "Ecosystem Services and Land Use Research Center" laboratory http://www.rua.edu.kh/index.php/view_divicen/164256924384) following her participation in the research school dedicated to collective scientific expertise "Between science and decision, what role for collective scientific expertise?" co-organized in 2022 by INRAE, IRD and Inserm. It is the fruit of a fruitful collaboration between scientific departments, INRAE divisions (DEPE, DAPP, DRI), IRD, Campus France and the Cambodian establishments involved in this wonderful professional and human experience.
