GCRI · Fields across the Consortium
Research and evidence
Research and evidence is a field in its own right here. How findings are produced, recorded, reviewed and corrected decides whether evidence on systemic risk is fit for those who must act on it.

03The systemic question
Evidence that can be traced and corrected.
Cross-sector analysis combines data and models from many sources under different licences, quality regimes and update cycles. Without persistent identifiers, provenance records and version control, a figure in a report cannot be traced to the run that produced it. Nor can an error be followed to the decisions that used it.
- Persistent identifiers for people, organisations, datasets and outputs.
- Provenance chains from source to published figure.
- Correction and retraction practice that reaches downstream users.

Questions and answers.
Why does GCRI host field gateways?
GCRI hosts the shared references of the Consortium, including the STEM Commons and the field gateways, so each field has one place that links all three institutions’ work.
ReportsContribute
Contribute evidence from this page.
Reports is the Consortium’s quarterly publication. What you know about this subject can become evidence, a case or a correction in the next edition, credited to you and published under CC BY 4.0 where it is your own work.
GCRI
- EmailGateway GW-GCRISend it from this pageEvidence, a correction, a case, a method, a review, a translation or profile input. It arrives tagged with this page, so the editor who owns it receives it.
- ZenodoOpen depositDeposit it and submit to the communityPublish your own record on Zenodo with your ORCID iD, then submit it to the Reports community there. Curators review it; the DOI stays yours.
- ReportsGCRISee every way to contributeThe contribution types, how each is reviewed, what credit you receive, the licence and what is never accepted.
Never send personal data, sensitive infrastructure detail or anything you have no right to share. A contribution is reviewed before use; sending it confers no authorship or editorial rights, and sponsorship never buys a finding.
The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation
Bring a method, a dataset or a question.
Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
