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.

Quality Assurance of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants- Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GAP & GCP)
There has been increasing interest of use of herbal products globally and this has led to the spurt in the use of plant based medicines across the world. This has created opportunities for developing countries like India with traditional knowledge base to develop globally acceptable newer herbal drugs/neutraceuticals and convert their rich bioresources and associated traditional knowledge for economic wealth and thereby bring prosperity to the nation. However, the Indian herbal drug industries generally face the problem of adulteration and substitution, which may be deliberate or some time unintentional. Such adulteration and substitution lead to poor quality and batch to batch inconsistency. Medicinal plant materials are supplied through collection from wild populations and also from organized cultivation. Under the overall context of quality assurance of herbal medicines, W.H.O. has developed the Guidelines on Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) for medicinal plants, providing general technical guidance on obtaining medicinal plant materials of good quality for the sustainable production of herbal products classified as medicines. It is extremely important to establish the reference samples and to determine the quality parameters of the medicinal plants and adulterant/substitute by undertaking extensive and intensive study of the traditional treatise of the classical medicines or traditional practices, combined with the modern scientific knowledge and methods.
