Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling at the University of Warsaw runs the Open Science Platform, which functions as the OpenAIRE National Open Access Desk (NOAD) for Poland and also runs several nationwide online services for Open Science.

  • The Library of Science - an Open Access platform that makes available metadata and full texts of articles published in Polish scientific journals and selected scientific books. The Library of Science is available for free to anyone with a standard web browser and internet connection. The publications can be viewed and downloaded on your computer or mobile device without the necessity to log in on the Platform. Both articles and books are available in PDF format and formats such as EPUB, MOBI and XML are supported as well.
The service was launched in 2014. The new version of the platform has been developed in the project titled “Platform of Polish Scientific Publications” (more information on the OpenAIRE blog). As for January 2022, almost 450 000 articles from 1536 scientific journals and over 680 books have been gathered in the Library of Science. The majority of scientific books available on the Platform were previously hosted on a separate “Open the Book” site. Additional books are added to the Library of Science on a daily basis directly by the cooperating Publishers.
  • CeON Repository - an open-access repository for the research output of Polish scholars. 
  • CeON Aggregator - a single access point to Polish open access repositories. It provides greater visibility of Polish research output. Currently it enables access to over 370 000 documents in 21 repositories.

In 2020, new data repositories were launched by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, the University of Warsaw as part of the project "Disciplinary Open Research Data Repositories" (Dziedzinowe Repozytoria Otwartych Danych Badawczych - English information). All repositories are open for everyone to use and free of charge.

  • Repository for Open Data (RepOD, Repozytorium Otwartych Danych) - a new version of the repository, a general-purpose repository for open research data, offering scholars the possibility to deposit their datasets. The purpose of the repository is to make available in the Internet research data, such as tables, photographs, audiovisual material, and any other types of data created, collected, or annotated for academic research.
  • Macromolecular Xtallography Raw Data Repository (MX-RDR) - a domain-specific digital repository of raw diffraction data collected for macromolecular crystals. It includes tools simplifying metadata descriptions by combining information extracted directly from diffraction images, obtained from the PDB database and/or user input.
  • Social Data Repository (RDS, Repozytorium Danych Społecznych) - a domain-specific digital repository of social data. The purpose of the repository is to make available in the Internet social data, consisting of data sets and accompanying technical or methodological documentation.

 

The Coalition for Open Education is an alliance of organizations that work actively towards Open Science and Open Education. The mission of the Coalition for Open Education is to support the creation of open educational resources (OER) and to promote best practices and tools with respect to OER. Along with EBIB Association, it coordinates Open Access Week in Poland.
