AEKOS Data Portal

TERN's AEKOS data portal is the original gateway to Australian ecology data. It is a ‘data and research methods’ data portal for Australia’s land-dwelling plants, animals and their environments. The primary focus of data content is raw co-located ‘species and environment’ ecological survey data that has been collected at the ‘plot’ level to describe biodiversity, its patterns and ecological processes. It is openly accessible with standard discovery metadata and user-oriented, contextual metadata critical for data reuse. Our services support the ecosystem science community, land managers and governments seeking to publish under COPE publishing ethics and the FAIR data publishing principles. AEKOS is registered with Thomson & Reuters Data Citation Index and is a recommended repository of Nature Publishing’s Scientific Data. There are currently 97,037 sites covering mostly plant biodiversity and co-located environmental data of Australia. The AEKOS initiative is supported by TERN (tern.org.au), hosted by The University of Adelaide and funded by the Australian Government’s National Research Infrastructure for Australia.

TERN的AEKOS数据门户是澳大利亚生态数据的原始入口。它是一个专为澳大利亚陆生植物、动物及其环境提供‘数据与研究方法’的数据门户。数据内容的主要焦点是原始的、在同一地点收集的‘物种与环境’生态调查数据，这些数据在‘样地’层面收集，用以描述生物多样性、其分布模式以及生态过程。该数据门户开放访问，并配备标准发现元数据和针对数据重用的用户导向、情境化元数据。我们的服务支持寻求在COPE出版伦理和FAIR数据发布原则下出版的生态系统科学社区、土地管理者及政府。AEKOS已在汤姆森路透数据引用索引中注册，并被Nature Publishing的Scientific Data推荐为存储库。目前，AEKOS包含97,037个站点，主要涵盖澳大利亚的植物生物多样性和相邻的环境数据。AEKOS项目由TERN（tern.org.au）支持，由阿德莱德大学托管，并由澳大利亚政府的国家研究基础设施资助。
