Welcome to OPAR Sandbox
UbuntuNet Alliance uses this OPAR Sandbox as a shared training environment for open science and repository practice across Africa. Please use this sandbox fairly and only for approved training activities.
This sandbox supports practical training in repository administration, metadata quality, discovery workflows, and institutional open science services:
- create and review repository structures, communities, collections, submissions, and descriptive metadata
- demonstrate discovery, interoperability, and access workflows in a realistic repository setting
- practice persistent identifier and scholarly communication workflows, including DOI-oriented repository examples
Learn more about UbuntuNet Alliance and its work to advance open science across Africa.
- Training access is intended for librarians, repository managers, and institutional support teams.
- Participants should browse, submit, and practice workflows responsibly within the sandbox.
- Content may be refreshed routinely to keep the environment ready for new training sessions.
