Services to Support FAIR Data: from theory to implementation
Workshop Series: Services to Support FAIR Data
Background information
OpenAIRE, RDA Europe, FAIRsFAIR and EOSC-hub are happy to announce a series of three workshops, two in April and one in September, called ‘Services to Support FAIR Data’.
Objectives
The purpose of these workshops is to explore how existing infrastructures can work together and understand how to deliver services that support the creation of FAIR research outputs. The three half-day events, tailored to different audiences, will examine the scholarly and research ecosystem, what exists, what could be modified, and will give insights into optimum service provisioning. They will also be a chance to engage experts and audiences on how to turn FAIR data into reality.
Services to support FAIR data, Vienna
In the series of workshops on FAIR services for research data that OpenAIRE is organizing, the second workshop took place as a part of the larger event ‘Linking Open Science in Austria’.
OpenAIRE-Connect Workshop - EuroMarine Young Scientist Working Group
On January 28th 2019 OpenAIRE-connect project organized a workshop within the EuroMarine Young Scientist Working Group meeting about the OpenAIRE services for Research Communities. The purpose of the workshop was to present the OpenAIRE Dashboard for Research Communities, showcasing the European Marine Science Dashboard (https://beta.mes.openaire.eu/) and run a test drive session with the members of the EuroMarine Young Scientists Working Group (OYSTER).
The meeting took place at the University of Cádiz, Spain, co-located with the EuroMarine General Assembly and integrated in the OYSTER programme meeting. All the participants were invited to proceed with a test drive of the Research Community Dashboard and discuss about Open Science practices and views for Marine Science.
OpenAIRE-Connect workshop: OpenAIRE service for Research Communities (Open Science as-a-Service)
This workshop have presented the new OpenAIRE service for Research Communities, showcasing two real use cases from the five pilot communities within OpenAIRE-connect project (i: Neuroinformatics from France Life Imaging national infrastructure; ii: European Marine Science from Pangaea and Atlas community; iii: Cultural Heritage and Digital Humanities from the PARTHENOS research infrastructure; iv: Fisheries and aquaculture management from the BlueBridge and MARBEC infrastructures; and v: Environment & Economy from the national/EU node of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network), addressing community based solutions, and also the demonstration of the features available for research initiatives and infrastructures.
Sustainable non-APC OA publishing models (9th OpenAIRE workshop - February 2019)
New: Read about the outcomes and results!
In today’s publishing landscape there are several paths to Open Access (OA) publishing. A common and much discussed way of financing OA publishing is through Article Processing Charges (APC). However, over the recent years, several alternatives have been developed that do not rely on APCs. Consortia models, community-driven approaches, funder financed platforms etc. This is a path often overlooked.
Previously OpenAIRE launched two calls to fund non-author fee based open access publishing initiatives. The results of which you can find here for the 1st call and here for the 2nd call.
Under OpenAIRE Advance, we aim to continue this effort and showcase the range of models available (including organizational aspects), assess their relative strengths and weaknesses, conduct cross-disciplinary analyses of their efficacy in different academic contexts ,and carry out knowledge-sharing activities to promote best practice and encourage experimentation. Particular focus is thereby given to consortia models, as well as sustainability models, cost sharing and different disciplinary approaches.
Legal issues in Open Research Data (8th OpenAIRE workshop - April 2017)
The 8th OpenAIRE workshop took place as part of the RDA Ninth Plenary Meeting, Barcelona, and explored legal hindrances and possible solutions to open up research data. With the presentation of legal studies in making data open and interoperable, lessons learnt from the funders and with a critical understanding of issues related to text and data mining, data privacy and licenses, the event was an excellent opportunity to deepen all these issues.
Impact and Measurement of Open Access (7th OpenAIRE workshop - February 2017)
Open Peer Review: Models, Benefits and Limitations (6th OpenAIRE workshop - June 2016)
Few would deny that peer review, as currently practiced, has its drawbacks. It is slow, unaccountable, wasteful of resources, and lacking in incentives yet it is an essential part of the scientific process. A variety of initiatives have set up experiments with different forms of Open Peer Review (OPR) making the process faster and less opaque. But what does it entail and how can it provide better scientific publications? To explore the possibilities of OPR a workshop on “Open Peer Review: Models, Benefits and Limitations”, was held by OpenAIRE in conjunction with The International Conference on Electronic Publishing (Elpub) in Göttingen, June 2016.
Sharing research data and open access to publications in Horizon 2020 (5th OpenAIRE workshop - November 2015)
The OpenAIRE Workshop on “Sharing research data and open access to publications in Horizon 2020” focused on concepts and good practices of managing Research Data and Open Access to scientific publications in Horizon 2020. This workshop took place at Ghent University on the 18th of November and was attended by 102 delegates from 29 different countries.
Legal and Sustainability Issues for Open Access Infrastructures (4th OpenAIRE Workshop - November 2013)
OpenAIRE/LIBER workshop on Dealing with Data. What's the Role for the library? (3rd OpenAIRE Workshop - May 2013)
The purpose of this workshop was to explore where the library sits in the whole data lifecycle, and pinpoint some areas as to what its role might be in the future. The workshop also invited a range of scientists to present their line of research to the audience, with idea about where the library might be able to support them.
OpenAIRE Interoperability Workshop (2nd OpenAIRE Workshop - February 2013)
Linking Open Access publications to data – policy development and implementation (1st OpenAIRE workshop - June 2012)
On June 11, 2012 an OpenAIRE workshop was organized as a pre-Nordbib meeting at the Royal Library in Copenhagen. The workshop was attended by over 80 people and addressed Research Data policy in the context of linking publications to research data, one of the key activity areas in the OpenAIREplus project. In order to support the linking of research output, it is recognized that policies and guidelines have to be in place to support research organisations to manage their research data. It was thus timely that the first public workshop organised by OpenAIRE addressed some of these issues. The workshop was aimed at OpenAIRE participants, library managers, researchers, research funders, and research administrators. The final interactive session enabled participants to talk to the experts, and get to grips with some data management issues. Najla Rettberg – “OpenAIREplus: an overview of activities”,
