Open Access

• Existing state, Gold & Green– Availability– Costs– Citations and references– Crosslinks to data, software


Open Access Barriers

• Copyright– Licence to use / publish

• Peer review• Journal colleges• Learned societies• Free annotation

• ‘pretty’ publishing


Open Access Repositories

• Subject based E.g. ArXiv– Community building

• Institutional– IPR– Curation– Public relations


Publication Quality

• ISI and its use– Problems by area (e.g. social science)– Problems by coverage within area

• Other approaches– citeseer


Information value chain

OA – in whose interest?

• Author– Wider access, citation– But maybe less prestigious than traditional route– Effort to deposit

• Institution– Collection of intellectual property– Check on IPR/patenting– Quality of publication (reputation)

• Reader– free and electronic

‘scientific freedom versus institutional management’


CRIS + OA

• Linkage CRIS + OA– CRIS associative scientific

management data– R&D primary data– OSS– DC and its problems– Formalised DC to form bridge


Metadata

• Fundamentally important– E.g. for OAI-PMH

• Dublin Core– Simple– Qualified– Formal

• Link to semantic web/grid• Link to CRIS

Access

• Distributed query access– E.g. Z39.50

• Harvesting to ‘catalog’ then query on catalog and link to object of interest– E.g. OAI-PMH plus query system– (and in CRIS world EXIRPTS, ERGO)


11

New Technologies

• GRIDS – How to use for CRIS and OA– High capacity network– massive compute power– Massive data stores / databases


12

CRIS+OA=The Route to Research

Knowledge on the GRID

The GRID

OA Repositories(the knowledge)

CRISs(the management tool)


13

CRIS+OA=The Route to Research

Knowledge on the GRID

• CRIS: management of R&D activity through information – better decisions– better technology transfer / innovation /

exploitation

• Open Access: open access to R&D knowledge – easy knowledge availability– Improved R&D quality

• GRID: A universal computation, information and knowledge surface– The basis for the future of Europe

Will Researchers Accept

• Traditional freedom of researchers• Institution might have different

interest– IPR – exploitation– Quality - reputation

• Retention of copyright• Workflow in institution

– researcher has to trade freedom for institutional management objectives


16

Infrastructure v Frontline

• US 30% R&D funding in infrastructure

• UK ~ 15%• Other EU countries?

• Does the investment improve the research done by the frontline researchers by a commensurate amount?


17

Strategic Partners for this Seminar

– ESF– EARMA– ALLEA– CODATA– ERCIM

And, of course, the EC

euroCRIS has collected together some of the key organisations
