1.Help AGRIS improve
Since 1974, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has supported its member countries to make their research outputs visible and accessible through the International System for Agricultural Science and Technology (AGRIS), one of the most comprehensive search engines in food and agricultural scientific literature.
Comprising close to 500 organizations worldwide, the AGRIS network contributes knowledge and data in the form of multilingual bibliographic records pertaining to books, journal articles, monographs, book chapters, datasets and grey literature including unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, dissertations and conference papers in the area of food and agriculture.
By providing free access to more than 13.8 million multilingual bibliographic records, AGRIS promotes the knowledge sharing essential for agricultural innovation and the sustainable transformation of global agricultural and food systems, thereby bringing the goal of defeating hunger a little closer.
Why take the survey.
Even as AGRIS approaches its 50th year, it strives to keep improving and evolving.
This survey presents all data providers comprising the AGRIS network with the opportunity to provide valuable feedback on different aspects of AGRIS – from contributing data to the multilingual AGRIS database to useful training activities – that will help AGRIS improve.
The results of the survey will be shared with the network at the 2022 AGRIS Annual Conference later this year.
The deadline for completing the survey is Thursday 31 March 2022.
If you have any questions about the survey, please do not hesitate to contact us at AGRIS@fao.org.
