Dear colleagues,
We are happy to share with you the latest snapshot and analysis of CCAFS knowledge and
data sharing achievements (data, publications and so on) for 2016. We hope this will help
encourage you to embrace Open Access and FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable, Re-usable) compliance as much as possible, and that you will discover new and
interesting publications and data for use in your work. We want your feedback, so we can better
tailor this bulletin to your interests so please do get in touch.
A major goal for 2017 is to encourage CCAFS scientists to more proactively publish their
datasets and databases, especially when you have published a data-paper based on this data.
We can help you make your articles and data open access and increase the likelihood that your
data is used and built upon by the science community. Everybody wins!
Regards,
David Abreu

CCAFS Knowledge by the Numbers
Biannual Newsletter May 2017
In 2016, CCAFS scientists reported an impressive number of 896 research outputs, out of which
839 were reported as complete and 49 were cancelled due to different reasons: i.e. the most
relevant reason was budget constraints in this year, followed by personnel who had left CCAFS
and changes to objectives. Only 9 deliverables were extended.
There were 310 deliverables which did not make it to the “well reported” category: 61 were
reported twice, 235 didn't provide enough information. There were 14 deliverables which
presented open access restrictions. Therefore, the total number of deliverables considered for
the statistics below will be 529.
In 2016 CCAFS scientists produced an impressive number of 348 publications, including 134
peer reviewed journal articles. A respectable 88% of these articles were published in ISI
journals, 51% of these were available as open access, and 33% FAIR compliant.
2016 CCAFS Report
Open Access Compliance
Only 16 of the reported deliverables were classified as data, datasets and maps, which is very
low relative to the number of publications. Part of moving towards open access is publishing the
datasets to go with your articles. We remind you that the CCAFS Data Management Support
Pack is available to help you produce high quality, reusable and open data from your research
activities.
Only 59% of 2016 research outputs were properly reported in MARLO (with a valid URL or a
document uploaded). This information is essential, to verify that a document exists, and to make
it available via CCAFS repositories. For future reporting we will ask everyone to please make
sure to publish their research outputs in CGSpace, Dataverse, and CCAFS Data Portals
before the reporting period.
In 2016, 86% of the total 529 research outputs reported are Open Access and 54% are FAIR
compliant. In detail, 372 are classified as Findable, which means that data and metadata are
easy to find by both humans and computers, deliverables are assigned a globally unique and
persistent identifier, 456 are Accessible, limitations on the use of data, and protocols for
querying or copying data are made explicit for both humans and machines, 334 are
Interoperable, the computer can interpret the data, so that they can be automatically combined
with other data and 435 are Reusable, data and metadata are released with a clear and
accessible data usage license. Please check the statistics below:
Disclaimer: MARLO is interoperable with different repositories (CGSpace, Dataverse, IFPRI
Knowledge Repository and the ILRI’s Datasets Portal) thus far, therefore, we are counting as
interoperable all deliverables disseminated on those repositories. Please let us know of any
additional repository which should be part of this list.

is a new tool that allows the world to easily find all publications by an author, by
affiliating each author with a unique ID number. No longer will you have to deal with several
variations or spellings of your name, or compete with another author who shares your name.
ORCID provides:
● Persistent digital identifiers to distinguish researchers.
● Integrations created by our members that connect researchers with their activities and
affiliations.
● A node for synchronizing machine-readable connections between identifiers for
individuals, organizations and research activities.
New features are coming, all of them based on your ORCID id, so keep updated your profile!
Are you still missing out? We encourage you to sign up. It is free and easy to do it - go to
ORCID. Please contact Paola Camargo if you have an ORCID ID and want to be part of this
revolution.
The evolution of the CCAFS P&R system has a new name: Managing Agricultural Research
for Learning and Outcomes (MARLO), which is an online system to assist CGIAR Research
Programs (CRPs) in planning and monitoring programmatic progress towards outcome
contributions, flagship and cross-cutting synthesis and evaluation of their research portfolios. It
informs programmatic decision-making and is the result of a collaborative effort of several CRPs
to build a common standard for delivery, high quality and efficiency against the CGIAR Strategy
and Results Framework’s portfolio of CRPs Phase II.
The version 4.0 of the platform was launched in November 2016, allowing CCAFS program
management and project leaders to enter their 2017 planning. MARLO is also being adopted by
other participating CRPs. A4NH, Livestock, PIM, WLE are currently working on their MARLO roll
out plans in 2017. And 3 new ones are in process of moving to MARLO (i.e. MAIZE, WHEAT

and FTA). The Excellence in Breeding and Big Data Platform are also considering MARLO as
their tool for results-based management. In addition, CIAT will be launching its MARLO ‘center’
version during this years’ Annual Program Review (APR).
It’s important to remember to report all your 2017 CCAFS-related outputs in MARLO
next year. In 2016 the reporting rate was poor: for journal papers, books and book
chapters. Remember to only report outputs that were published in the 2017 calendar
year.
