The Research Community
Gateway is a service developed by OpenAIRE-Connect, which fosters transparent evaluation of results and facilitates reproducibility of science for research communities by enabling a scientific communication ecosystem supporting exchange of research products (publications, data, software, methods) and links between them across communities and across content providers.Benefits for Research Communities
Community-oriented Open Science publishing tools
Scientists can continue using RI services and publishing practices, but, if needed, can find support for publishing/interlinking any kind of products.Collaborative curation of a community-specific scholarly communication graph
An environment for the community to share, discover, interlink, gather and reuse (reproduce) scientific results. Powered by the OpenAIRE Research Graph.Community-oriented Reporting and Open Science monitoring
Reporting to funders, development of scientific reward strategies inclusive of all products of science. -

1. Start searching Research Results and add them to the Basket to Link
i) Search research results (search in OpenAIRE results, CrossRef, DataCite or ORCID).ii) Click the + button to add research results to the Basket
Or
iii) Upload a csv file containing a list of DOIsChoose the option “Upload a DOI's CSV file” in the Links Basket.Links Basket
Information:
Upload a csv file containing a list list DOIs. For each DOI found in the file, metadata will be fetched from CrossRef or Datacite and will be added to your selected research results.

i) Confirm that the links you provided are all correctii) Click on the button “CONFIRM LINKING”
Your link it’s successfully finished!
Additional information
When a new link is visible in OpenAIRE?
There are two cases:- When the research result of the link is already available in OpenAIRE, links will be visible in the portal after the next content provision workflow. The workflow runs every 2 to 4 weeks. More information about the workflow is available in the page Aggregation and content provision workflows.
- When the research results are available in Crossref, Datacite or ORCID the link is immediately available through the portal and the APIs.
All users are able to manage their links in “My Links” page (accessible via User Account options). When users finish linking results, they are able to view the list of links they created. They are also able to delete them. -
