Core Issues

Make the EC/ERC Open Access policies known toresearchers & project coordinators(challenge: already overloaded by information)

>> Explain the benefits of OA, promote andsupport the deposition process (easy!)

Support researchers and institutions by a network of OA experts (NOADs)

Enhance the repository network (OpenAIREGuidelines >> introduces grant reporting)

OpenAIRE – Review 2010-12-03Open Access to Scientific Information in the EU and the Czech Republic, Praha, 12 Oct 20114

Objective 1: Support Infrastructure for Researchers

• Europe wide Helpdesk, coordinating 27 national OA desks (NOADs)

• Researchers Toolkit (Relevant information on the OA Mandate/Special Clause 39, Copyright Addendum, etc.)

• More than 400 Institutional Repositories, offered in many of the EU member states

• 1 central, European Orphan Repository• Supported deposit (where possible)

Open Access in the EU

IATUL Conference, 30 May 2011, Warsaw

Information pages on Open Access from 26 EU member states + Norway

Open Access e.g. in

Information about•The National Research Environment (research institutions, funding)•Open Access and Repositories (awareness, repositories, journals, organizations) •Contact details of the Open Access Desk

9 Open Access to Scientific Information in the EU and the Czech Republic, Praha, 12 Oct 20119

Objective 2: EU wide Repository Infrastructure

• Coverage: Research Publications• Build a portal that is the gateway to all user-

level services• Infrastructure is based on the OA repository

network (<DRIVER)• Deploys the open source software toolkit D-

NET• Issue Guidelines for repository managers

to ensure compliance of local repositories • Deliver multiple Usage Statistics (to inform

EC/ERC and EU member states Open Access policy)

Issues

13

Not definitive numbers of FP7 publications – Main source is the OA repositories

Average statistics– Not a big enough data set misleading stats

OpenAIRE has the capabilities to provide real stats

OpenAIRE uptake is important– Project coordinators/researchers– Open Access repositories

OA evaluation - so far

Open Access evaluation– 1657 publications (1531 from FP7, 126 from FP6) FP7 Open Access 1448 ‐> 94%

Pilot evaluation– SC39 projects: 834 out of 886 have OA depositions in OpenAIRE
