Catalogue of Romanian Bioinformatics Services - CaRoBioS

- Under development - 
CRB is developing the Catalogue of Romanian Bioinformatics Services (CaRoBioS).
By services, CRB means data resources, software tools, training, computing infrastructure, and help desks. 

 

Objectives

Following the model of several ELIXIR Nodes, the development of the CaRoBioS aims to support the bioinformatics ecosystem in Romania by:

• promoting the awareness of services developed by Romanian research groups, 
• increasing the domestic and European use of services developed by Romanian research groups,     
• providing structured feedback according to a set of review criteria aligned with the FAIR principles 
• identifying critical aspects of interoperability to improve existing services, and
• offering indirect support for access to funding to promote the long-term sustainability of essential services.

 

Inclusion in the CaRoBioS involves the following steps:

1. Submission of a form containing information about the service being developed. Dedicated forms for services other than data resources and software tools will be made available in future editions.
2. A peer-review evaluation by researchers from the diaspora scientific community, based on the following peer-review criteria.
3. Inclusion in the CaRoBioS, based on the suggestions and recommendations of the peer-review committee.
4. Communication of the suggestions and recommendations formulated by the peer reviewers to the contact person.
5. Classification as an ELIXIR Romania Service – Once Romania becomes an ELIXIR Member, a resource may be designated as a core ELIXIR Romania Service, based on its internal evaluation and relevance to the broader European network. This classification could enable access to support for long-term sustainability.
