KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUSTAINABLE OPEN SCIENCE E-INFRASTRUCTURE

Open Science

Facts & lessons learnt from 6 years of OpenAIRE operation


1. One size does not fit all

Differentdisciplines, needs, behaviors

Diverse research information/data sources (publication, data, software, …)

Long tail of science vs. big science


Interoperability at all levels

human, organization,policy, legal, technology

PARTICIPATORY DESIGN IS KEY

Data driven scienceShared economies

Reproducibility, replicability & accountability

Scientific credit goes beyond peers

Web-based research & social networks


2. Open scholarship is in flux

Need to keep upBe ahead of developments

EXPLORE, ADOPT, ADAPT

3. Research is global –implementation & support is local

Human capacitiesa key success factor

Data skills at various levels within organizations


Barrier-free communication

throughout the research life cycle

4. Open Science services for all

Small services can take you a long way

Not just for researchers -

meaningful to all stakeholders

Open Science as a Service (OSaaS)out-of-the-box, on-demand deployable tools


Trusted, secure & robust value added services

embedded in all phases of the research

5. Community on the driver seat. Public funder in the passenger seat.

Listen to the needs

Participatory and agiledesign

Involve the research community in the design,

operation and governance


Better and faster uptake

No lock-in solutions for easier future transitions

6. Build trust for all stakeholders

Researchers choose services based on

credibility & sustainability


Community values Reliable services

Quality of data and contentSustainability

Supporting servicesInternational recognition

Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

7. Innovation is everywhere

Open policies for science one of many

ways to foster innovation


(Over)regulation stunts growth (e.g., TDM licenses)

Need for a shared integrated

legal interoperability framework

8. Policies are useless without an implementation plan

Implementation is key to a successful policy and

technical solutions must be in place before a policy

is activated.


Invest in

monitoring &

assessment mechanisms

9. Build on prior work -

National, thematic andinstitutional centers

Shared investmentsAll layers in effective

network


Place research institution in the center

Coordinate and align efforts via well defined policies and rules of engagement

10. e-Infrastructures are hard to grasp and commit to

Researchers notice when something goes amiss

Funders need to change from cost to investment

mentality


Need time to mature

Long term commitment -Continuous investment

Effective coordination

Take home messages1. Open Science has many facets• Translate the high level OS Policy to smaller tangible implementable

policies2. Place the research institution in the centre • Support researchers in daily activities• Promote the service provision mentality

3. National e-Infrastructures need to position themselves within the European and global context• Coordinate at national level – one strategy, one voice BUT different

roles & responsibilities among organizations• Actively participate in EU e-Infrastructures for harmonization
