OpenAIRE-Connect aims to extend OpenAIRE services to better support open science. It will develop a Research Community Dashboard to help communities search, navigate, and monitor research impact. A Catch-All Notification Broker will analyze research outputs and send relevant notifications to subscribed repositories and researchers. Interoperability guidelines will also be produced to facilitate metadata exchange across repositories. Five research community pilots and a general content provider pilot will test the new services. The project seeks to improve open science practices, reproducibility of research, and transparency of research evaluation.
