Below you can find a list of indicators we calculate for the Monitor Dashboard for Institutions.
Please be aware that this is the default set, which is being enriched as more data is coming into the OpenAIRE Research Graph, i.e., more types of research outcomes, better coverage. We are in your disposal to add more indicators that may fit your needs.
Scholarly communication is the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use.
Services in the Scholarly Communication (SC) domain have been used by researchers and libraries for the past decades, but there has been no place where all these are collected. OpenAIRE, with its newly released catalogue, aspires to collect and present to the broad community scholarly communicating services that have global use and access, services that conform to the open community standards such as POI.
Why is cataloguing important? As services become more in terms of volume and diversity, IT companies are using electronic catalogues in an effort to better present their services to their audiences, to classify, to market them.
The research community in Europe has started on a similar path: to create catalogues and marketplaces to “advertise” services for research, The EOSC catalogue of services (as of June 2022), provides information on 332 resources (Source: EOSC Marketplace). OpenAIRE runs its catalogue, with a variety of services information available. There are also more catalogues related to Open Science that had been created in the last few years by EU H2020 funded projects; CatRIS - Catalogue of Research Infrastructure Services, NEANIAS catalogue – Catalogue of Novel EOSC Services for Emerging Atmosphere, Underwater & Space Challenges, NI4OS catalogue - National Initiatives for Open Science in Europe.
Scholarly Communication should not be left behind! We, at OpenAIRE, focused on your values, we believe in offering Open Science services to all, giving them the freedom of choice. Therefore, through OpenAIRE values and strategy, OpenAIRE supports its users by offering the right of selection, the freedom of choice. The OpenAIRE Catalogue of Services lists and presents the available services, in a friendly and easy to comprehend manner, provides valuable and updated information, and offers many options to save time to find the best service match. The OpenAIRE catalogue of services acts as a common interface for all users to access OpenAIRE services and ensure the timely and easy discovery of the right service for the right users.
Is this new? The OpenAIRE catalogue of services is available from 2018 and currently 17 services are registered.
What is the OpenAIRE Catalogue of Services
As explained, the necessity to offer the ability to quickly request and access OpenAIRE services is required today. The Open Science community uses a broad variety of services that cover parts or the whole research lifecycle; and that led to the creation of the OpenAIRE catalogue. It is a web portal, open and accessible to all, where anyone can search for a service, or filter for a result based on specific options and preferences. The information that is available assists visitors to read short information on service description, technical and operational information, the user groups that can use it, how it is accessed and from which website. Additional supportive information, legal and supportive links are also offered. Users can navigate through services by selecting a scientific category, a scientific domain, life cycle status, TRL, language, and funding body among many options. The result is a quick and easy to spot of a service process.
