European Helpdesk

Promote FP7-pilot and ERC OA guidelines

National Open Access Liaison Offices (27 countries)

Provide OA “toolkits” for– Researchers– Institutions

Setup 24/7 portal for deposit, search of OA publications

Liaison with– Other European OA initiatives– Publishers– CRIS systems

OpenAIRE Project Overview6

Supporting Repository Infrastructure

OpenAIRE portal built on D-NET

Access to scientific publications– Search, browse– Visualization tools

Deposition of articles– Setup repository for orphan researchers (INVENIO)– Harvest OA publications from existing repositories

Provide monitoring tools for– Document/depositing statistics– Usage statistics from repository infrastructure

Interoperation with other infrastructures OpenAIRE Project Overview7

overview:

functionalities and

domains served

OpenAIRE Project Overview8

Research data management

Explore the requirements, practices, incentives, workflows, data models, and technologies to deposit, access, and otherwise manipulate research datasets

Produce feasibility studies to show researchers the benefit from depositing

Work with four (4) scientific communities– Health (Life Sciences)– Environment– Information & Communication Science– Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities

Studies on Disciplinary Requirements for OA Infrastructure – Preparatory Workshop

Objectives of the study

Research activity focussing on post 2011/12– Practical experimentation within OpenAIRE not foreseen

but welcome

Subject „Chapters“: Understand their specificity– Description and analysis of diversity: publication

behavior, subject classification, data types, research workflows, infrastructures …

– Requirements for the publication deposit process– Requirements for future infrastructures

Give Advice to future directions (EC, others)

How to respect subject specificity in OA-Infra.?13 Studies on Disciplinary Requirements for OA Infrastructure – Preparatory Workshop

„When I read this report …

… I expect answers to these questions“– What is Research Infrastructure and what

has Open Access to do with it?– Which aspects are generic and which

aspects are subject specific?– Which are those subject specific aspects?– What are the complexities involved?– How representative can a single institute be

for a complete scientific area?14 Studies on Disciplinary Requirements for OA Infrastructure – Preparatory Workshop

What makes this study unique?

Different from other activities / studies– Combination of case studies by highly specific and

reputated institutues and general future perspectives on OA (research data) is novel

– Supplementary to other OA studies or ESFRI…

„Case Studies“ means that each partner represents (‚only‘) the partner institution

– No need to represent the complete Thematic Area (e.g. Health, ICT…)

– institutional subjectivity is allowed, even desired: Find your self-interest!

15 Studies on Disciplinary Requirements for OA Infrastructure – Preparatory Workshop

Agenda & Objectives of the meeting

After this workshop…

… we should have some answers to the following …

For subject specialists– How special am I? – How can I use the studies to make something useful for my

institution? – What aspects have to be respected in my ‚chapter‘?– What can I write in my ‚chapter‘?

For all – A vision of the result – structure of the ‚book‘– A picture of the specific workplan

For Bielefeld– An picture about introduction / analysis / synthesis– Methodological approach to accompanying studies17 Studies on Disciplinary Requirements for OA Infrastructure – Preparatory Workshop
