TL;DR

This paper proposes a comprehensive framework of transversal services, protocols, and tools for scientific computing and IT in Latin America, aiming to enhance research capacity and collaboration through open access and standardized practices.

Contribution

It introduces a novel SC+IT Hub concept integrating services and protocols for scientific data management, publication, and dissemination tailored for Latin American research communities.

Findings

Design of a scalable SC+IT Hub model

Integration of industrial standards and open access protocols

Enhanced collaboration and resource sharing in Latin America

Abstract

This schematic proposal is looking to give a first view of the different and vital services, protocols, tools and know-how relative to the Scientific Computing (SC) and Information Technology (IT) for scientific endeavours and capacity-building projects in the Latin America region. The proposal of transversal services and protocols for the design, development, deployment, distribution, training, publication and citation, proper accreditation and dissemination of scientific experiments, data, processes, software, documentation, results and resources using world-leading protocols and industrial standards under the Open Access philosophy is presented. It shows a dedicated review of scenarios and proposals that can be seen under the umbrella of a "SC+IT Hub". It also gives effective usage of current hybrid spaces (physical and virtual) that contains very well known industrial and academic resources and practical ideas and how to deploy those for current *diverse* and future experiments and research teams in the region.
