OpenAIRE supports the Open Access and Open Science policies of funders like the European Commission by aggregating information from a range of data providers (including research funders, publication repositories, data repositories, Open Access publishers, CRISs) to link projects, authors, institutions, funding information, publications, data-sets and other resource output types. OpenAIRE’s information space can be queried from these links to provide value-added services for funders, researchers and repositories.
Inferred information is then used to enrich the original metadata record of the publication and made publicly available via the OpenAIRE portal [https://www.openaire.eu/].
OpenAIRE processes all data according to its Data Management Plan
With this information, OpenAIRE can offer funders a unique view of the scientific outputs that derive from their funding. OpenAIRE enables advanced monitoring (including compliance with Open Access policies), reporting and analysis of research impact and research trends. Funders can assess the impact of their funding by viewing advanced statistics on research outputs (publications and data sets) and the funding programme/stream/project from which they derive (including co-funded research results and research trends).
