//Observatories

The InfoDesign and CIDI observatories make it possible to explore the work published in the journal and in the conference proceedings by territory, institutions, researchers, authorship, collaboration, topics and references.

Both platforms share the commitments of open data, a declared method and a situated reading. In this way, they offer the community tools to know and discuss the trajectory of the field from its own output, as a complement to the international databases. The decision rules of the interpretive analyses are published in the Procedures section of each platform, and the sections that use artificial intelligence are identified.

Linked to SBDI and developed as part of academic research by the same team, the observatories have technical autonomy. The team is responsible for maintaining the platforms and for the analyses it publishes, and reports to the Society's Board.
