e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.

This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Title

Integrating ODK Scan into the Community Health Worker Supply Chain in Mozambique

en
Abstract

We describe our experiences integrating ODK Scan into the community health worker (CHW) supply chain in Mozambique. ODK Scan is a mobile application that uses computer vision techniques to digitize data from paper forms. The application automatically classifies machine-readable data types, like bubbles and checkboxes, and assists users with the manual entry of handwritten text and numbers. We designed an intervention that uses paper forms in conjunction with ODK Scan to monitor CHW usage of essential health commodities, finding that the application is capable of providing supervisors and stakeholders with important information regarding health commodity availability in the field. Specifically, we (1) detail our experiences integrating ODK Scan into the health worker supply chain in Mozambique, with particular emphasis on the critical (and often under-reported) role of practitioners; (2) evaluate the impact of the technology at multiple levels of the information hierarchy, providing quantitative and qualitative data that exposes the benefits, challenges and limitations of the technology; and (3) share lessons learned and provide actionable guidance to researchers and practitioners interested in ODK Scan or other systems that bridge the gap between paper-based and digital data collection.
