Research communities
Lack of culture, incentives, and solutions
for Open Science publishing, e.g.:
- No funding focus on scholarly
communication practices
- Limited Open Science tools and
practices
Repositories
Lack of technical support solutions for
Open Science publishing, e.g.
- No best practices for handling of
software, methods, packages.
- Links between outputs disregarded
- No suitable solutions for the
continuous publishing of outputs
(vs. “frozen” / one-off publishing)

»A set of guidelines to support the take up of OpenAIRE-Connect
services, disseminated via appropriate communication, training,
and other support measures.
»Aims:
› Facilitate programmatic exchange of research artefacts across the scholarly
communication infrastructure
› Complete the OpenAIRE guidelines, which define exchange mechanisms for
publications and datasets
› Will be used to push & publish research artefacts within OpenAIRE services

Benefits
»Benefits for research communities
20
Community-oriented Open Science publishing tools
• Scientists can continue using RI services and publishing practices, but can also find support for
publishing/interlinking any kind of outputs.
Collaborative curation of a community-specific scholarly communication information space
• Community information space to share, discover, interlink, and reuse (reproduce) scientific results.
Community-oriented Reporting and Open Science monitoring
• Easier reporting to funders, facilitates development of reward strategies covering all research
outputs.
Benefits
»Benefits for content providers / repositories
21
Extending repository metadata models to Open Science practices
• Promoting addition of links from/to products of any kind.
Keeping collections up-to-date (via notifications for alerts, enrichments, additions)
• Regular updates to ensure comprehensive and accurate exchange of information: notifications
about links to other outputs, missing properties, missing products, and possible errors in the
metadata.
Fostering notification-based dissemination of knowledge in a federated environment
• Promoting repositories as pro-active and interactive elements of the scholarly communication
infrastructure.

Editor's Notes

  • #15 Notifications come via API (pull-mode) or webhooks / SWORD protocol (push-mode) Data sources Publication repositories from OpenDOAR Data Archives from re3data.org
  • #18 Dashboard will be configured and used (depending of the community): Configuration of research impact and inference algorithm of OpenAIRE Use to interlink the artefacts of the Thematic Research infrastructures Deposition of research artefacts in Zenodo, claiming of artefacts, claiming of interlinks, creation of packages of artefacts Deposition of research artefacts constituting a “dynamic publication” (linking VREs) Engaging researchers towards Open Science practices (Publishing datasets & methods) Extend content providers of tool and workflows artefacts for publishing tool and artefact packages in OpenAIRE via OpenAIRE-Publishing API
