International Directory of Arctic Social Scientists

作为国际极地年（IPY）活动的一部分，拟议的SGER项目将在目前从事北极社会科学研究的国家内建立一个泛全球的组织合作伙伴网络，以制定创建国际科学家名录（IDASS）的政策和程序。拟议的项目具有重要的知识价值，因为开发一个全球性的开放源码目录可以通过提供一种工具来创建多学科和国际性的研究团队，从而增加北极社会科学家之间的合作。 IDASS可能会产生更广泛的影响，包括土著组织和学生进行北极社会科学研究，这在以前的目录工作中代表性不足。 最终的北极社会科学家国际名录将留下数据和电子基础设施的遗产，以促进未来的极地研究，它将扩大国际伙伴关系与合作，并将成为进行北极研究的社会科学家和组织的全面来源。SGER项目的预期成果将是获得合作伙伴的同意，以建立一个管理工具，为建立数据库结构和访问门户提供参数，并开始征求组织和个人参与目录。

As part of International Polar Year (IPY) activities, the proposed SGER project would create a pan global partner network of organizations within countries currently engaged in Arctic social science research to develop policies and procedures for creating an International Directory Scientists (IDASS). The proposed project has significant intellectual merit because the development of a global, open source directory could increase cooperation among Arctic social scientists by providing a tool to create research teams that are multi-disciplinary and international. The IDASS could have significant broader impacts by including indigenous organizations and students conducting Arctic social science research, which have been underrepresented in previous directory efforts. The eventual international directory of Arctic social scientists would leave a legacy of data and electronic infrastructure to facilitate future polar research, it would expand international partnerships and cooperation, and it would result in a comprehensive source of social scientists and organizations conducting Arctic research. The anticipated outcome of the SGER project will be to obtain agreements by partners to establish a management tool that provides the parameters for creating the data base structure and access portal and begin soliciting participation in the directory by organizations and individuals.
