Unmanaged cybersecurity risks can wreak havoc on a community. This is no less true for the U.S. scientific research ecosystem, particularly members of the higher education research community, which can be characterized by its fundamentally open, collaborative culture and web of highly decentralized administrative and research environments. Securing the digital resources that contribute to a thriving higher education research enterprise requires consideration of the threats and vulnerabilities relevant to the community as well as unique mission contexts, cultures, and motivations. This resource is intended to enable institutions of higher education to identify, assess, manage, and reduce cybersecurity risks related to conducting research, as described in Section 10229 of the CHIPS and Science Act.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
