Where do we start with managing all the data out there? How can we share it and reuse it properly? Proper citations are a good start. Sarah Callaghan from the British Atmospheric Data Centre blogs on the topic of data citation and linking. Find out more on this topic, including the difference between 'published' and 'Published' data.

This study addresses subject-specific requirements for research infrastructure with a focus on the influences of Open Access (OA). OA is treated in a broad sense covering open access to literature, open data and open science. The study takes a pragmatic case-based approach with six partners (institutions and organisations) providing their subjective view on OA infrastructure.

Measuring different impacts of research is of great value to a range of stakeholders: funders, publishers, researchers. The new version of the OpenAIRE portal (keep an eye out for the new launch) will deliver a service which will enable researchers to visualise, via their local repository, usage statistics for articles, for example how often a particular article of theirs has been downloaded in a user-friendly graph visual.

OpenAIRE will create a participatory service for the cross-linking of research publications and associated datasets. It is recognized however that policies and guidelines have to be in place to support research organisations to manage their research output and data. The OpenAIRE workshop, held in conjunction with the Nordbib Conference 2012, in Copenhagen on 11 June, is aimed at OpenAIRE NOADs, library managers, researchers, research funders, repository managers, journal editors and publishers, research administrators.
