Open Knowledge Hub (OKhub)

Search OKhub

The Open Knowledge Hub is an open data project that aims to improve the supply and accessibility of content that supports evidence-informed policy making and practice in international development. It is being developed by the Institute of Development Studies in close collaboration with a range of partner organisations. In physical terms the hub is a database of open-licensed metadata (bibliographic data and links) about research documents, organisations, and other materials. It is building on emerging approaches from the open access and open data movements to create a new open and collaborative “hub” for the sharing of development knowledge. A key objective of the project is to raise the profile of diverse perspectives on international development, paying particular attention to content from organisations based in the global south.
