Open Science, Open Data: towards a new transparent and reproducible ecosystem
The document outlines the mission and initiatives of LIBER, emphasizing the importance of open science and the need for an adaptable information infrastructure to support world-class research. It discusses the Science Code Manifesto, which advocates for the accessibility and citation of research software, and highlights the critical role libraries play in facilitating data management, curation, and the establishment of common standards. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and solutions in text and data mining, aiming to foster collaboration and transparency in research data sharing.

Editor's Notes
- #3 First a few words about LIBER LIBER is the Association of European Research Libraries, the main network for research libraries in Europe. Founded in 1971, the association now includes over 400 national, university and other special libraries.
- #4 We bring our members together through our annual conference. This year in Helsinki, Next year in Patras
- #5 And we bring our members together through participation in EU Projects, together with about 50 of our members. The LIBER office is involved in nine EU projects, all to do with addressing barriers on the path towards Open Science. We have projects on Text and Data mining, Open Access training, Open Access Policies, Research Data Management etcetera
- #6 Steering committees, working groups, three strategic directions What is happening in Research Libraries nowadays is not « daily routine ». It’s about a revolution. We have to re-invent the library for the future!
- #7 As a library membership organization, LIBER works on addressing Open Science barriers.
- #9 What is the Open Science ecosystem? First of all: Open Science is more than just open access to publications. It also means open access to data, API’s, licenses, policies etcetera
- #10 It should be an ecosystem of sharing and collaboration, of re use and redistribution. Open Science is difficult to define, but here is a definition from the FOSTER project: a project on open science training. Shared as early as possible Open unless…
- #11 In this eco system, the researcher is key. Researchers should contribute and benefit at the same time. Incentives are needed for researchers to share and (re) use their data. In the end Open Science will change work habits and business models.
- #12 What we need is institutional recognition of alternative metrics. The publishing of software should rewarded, not the publication of the article describing the software research project. Why would researchers put effort in, for instance, to focus on an element of Open Science connected to the workshop of today; sustainable and open software if this is not rewarded at all?
- #13 Not new; an example: Out for a few years now, 1140 endorsements
- #19 This Science Code Manifesto speaks about Curation of open source software, but curation is needed in every area of the open science eco system
- #21 A few examples of my own: some Open Science events we co-organised as LIBER where standardisation of file formats was mentioned as part of OS: In November, I co-hosted a Workshop aimed at content providers: publishers, data centers, museums and libraries, that are open to the use of Tekst and Data Mining on their data.
- #23 Another workshop co-organised by LIBER: The European Open Science Cloud workshop. The workshop report begins with this statement:
- #24 And sligthly different, but just as interting for this crowd: just this week, we co-organised four Open science cafes where we discussed all kinds of aspects of open science in an open discussion: one of the discussion statements was: “libraries should spend money on preserving software in order to keep data available for re-use”
- #25 So, how do we see libraries in this? How can libraries help to enable Open Science? Open Data: There are lots of opportunities to address issues with open data Libraries have always played an important role in the curation of data
- #26 And, of course, all of this should be as open as possible.
- #27 Next to projects like Preforma, libraries can be active in Research Data Management Slide 26: no mention of Digital Preservation yet: part of research data management from the start of projects on
- #28 We see not only technical challenges on the road towards open science, but also social challenges: awareness, trust and community building is needed in order to ensure uptake of eg. standards.
- #30 People say that we need registries of open source software, e.g. for TDM, but what about Github? Work from what is already working Focus on really Open standards Definition in the line of Open Science: freely available, can be freely adopted, implemented and extended. ( no license fees)
- #31 As a library membership organization, LIBER brought global experts together to draft a collective statement, The Hague Declaration on knowledge discovery in the digital age, to show policy makers the strength of support in the research community for better access to facts, data and ideas. The Hague Declaration has over 700 signatories - and counting.
