Open Science, Open Metrics, Usage Statistics

The objectives of the workshop are: 

• Presentation of the Open Science Usage Metrics Exchange (OpenSUMex) Guidelines and Framework
• Feedback from stakeholders

Tracking usage of research output and publishing statistics is a value-added service of Open Science research infrastructures. On the content provider level, usage statistics can serve administrators as a tool to evaluate the success of their platform. On the individual item level, they can demonstrate popular items, like datasets, software, or other research output to research community. In addition, usage statistics can indicate the relevance of a research output over the course of time and up to the present, and therefore they can be considered a useful indicator to analyze trends. Different organizations facilitate the above tasks by monitoring and analyzing usage data and exploit usage metrics like research items downloads and metadata views. The final outcomes are published via services like DataCite, IRUS-UK, OpenAIRE, or national aggregators like LA Referencia. A number of parameters are involved for tracking, e.g the identifier of the requested item, the timestamp of the request, etc., whilst publishing of usage statistics is realized by exploiting the COUNTER Code of Practice (CoP), that enables publishers to report and compare usage of resources in a consistent way. Although these practices are employed by most usage statistics services, there are several issues that need to be tackled, due to the complexity of the research products and their diversity. Definition of a set of guidelines, together with a framework that can facilitate and standardize the collection and exchange of scholarly usage events could alleviate those issues. The Open Science Usage Metrics Exchange (OpenSUMex) Guidelines and Framework is developed to cover these requirements by defining the guidelines and provide the framework to exchange usage metrics information. The resulting usage metrics could identify multiple counted events that could be comparable across scholarly infrastructures and exploited by a variety of stakeholders from research community, like repository managers, authors, funders, etc.

SCIndeks, Diamond Open Access, Reviewing Reviewers, Peer Review, journals, incentive

Serbian Citation Index – SCIndeks is a hybrid Open Access platform based on a business model of partnership between a non-profit web publisher and journal owners. Most journals hosted by SCIndeks are local scholar-led Diamond OA journals, relying on limited financial means, staff, and skills, but highly motivated by national regulatory and financing bodies to reach international status and level of excellence. The role of SCIndeks as a platform and its development team is to assist journals in their efforts by providing them with a journal management system, publishing expert guidance, techniques of promotion of journals on web, tools intended for quality control, and, finally, precise feedback on their advancement within all those processes. One of the most important forms of assistance is the comprehensive support for quality peer review.

SCIndeks development team uses various strategies and mechanisms to support the peer-review process:

• SCIndeks customized OJS-based journal management system (SCIndeks Assistant) helps editors keep track of the peer-review process;
• specialized, mostly custom-made tools and procedures make it easier for editors and reviewers to assess manuscripts: automated identification of mismatched/missing citations and references, references to retracted articles, and articles originating from disputable journals in the list of references;
• training for editors and reviewers;
• specialized software tool dubbed Reviewing Reviewers (RR) enabling the assessment of the usefulness of peer review reports for both (a) editorial decisions and (b) for authors’ improvement of submitted manuscripts; while the former is rated by editors, the latter is assessed by the authors themselves, which makes RR an innovative and (at the beginning) disputed tool;
• Statistics module of RR which is also integrated in the SCIndeks journal management system accumulating results (grades) of reviewers working for different journals; Statistic module is providing ranking of reviewers based on a composite score combining editors and authors grades.
• The RR composite score is used for selecting best reviewers for further engagement and at the same time for selecting candidates for annual financial award provided by SCIndeks publisher. 

In this presentation we describe RR in greater detail and analyze quantitatively the effects of its use in two previous years in comparison to the period preceding its implementation in SCIndeks Assistant. The analysis shows that the assessment of reviewers by the authors has resulted in some changes in reviewers’ behaviour. The change was found on the following indicators: (1) the share of reviews containing comments to the authors, (2) the share of such comments containing attachments (3) the average number of words in attachments, and (4) the relative number of new, first-time peer reviewers. All changes are statistically significant. Opposite to the expectations, no changes were observed in the average number of words in comments and the average rates given to the reviewers by editorial boards. However, what is most indicative, the structure of reviewers’ recommendations has slightly altered. Reviewers now tend to suggest accepting manuscripts conditionally (“accept after revision”) more frequently than before. The increase happened at the expense of the number of decisions to accept manuscripts immediately (“no revision”). This may be regarded a sort of proof that reviewers have started to take more helpful general attitude toward authors, which is exactly what we have sought to achieve.

To conclude, the results, supported by some anecdotal evidence, fully encourage the use of RR in an academic environment marked by an unsatisfactory reviewing process and the lack of motivation among eminent researchers to accept invitations of local journals editors. It is reasonable to assume that this will lead to the higher level of article quality in local Diamond OA journals, which is the ultimate goal of introducing RR.

Sustaining Open infrastructures, services and tools for research communities
Value added data products/services from open science

OpenCitations, Scholexplorer, open citation and bibliographic data, bibliometrics

In this lightning talk, we will present ScholeXplorer and OpenCitations, two of the services included in the MONITOR portfolio of the OpenAIRE-Nexus project, a recently-funded H2020 project which aims at bringing in the EOSC several services provided by public institutions, e-infrastructures, and companies to implement and accelerate Open Science. In particular, ScholeXplorer and OpenCitations will feed the OpenAIRE Research Graph with billions of open data regarding bibliographic citations, and can be used to foster transparency and reproducibility of several activities (such as research results and assessment exercises) that were possible, in the past, only through the payment of a conspicuous fee to access proprietary services. ScholeXplorer and OpenCitations – and their tied relation with OpenAIRE, its Research Graph, and the EOSC – represent a new frontier of open citation indexing and can be used to enhance or develop new tools to support authors, researchers, bibliometricians, librarians, funders, academic administrators, research managers, data repositories, publishers, by providing, for example, metrics to monitor research at a given institution and by improving the discoverability of research products such as publications, data, and software.

This session is aimed at anyone involved or interested in training in open science related topics. The session has a practical focus so is particularly relevant to those who develop, coordinate or deliver training.

Training and skills for open science
Interdisciplinary collaborations: Networks, services, methods

open science, training, skills, best practices, online training, hybrid training

Participants will:

• Learn from the experiences of several training initiatives in how best to teach open science online
• Share their own experiences and discuss issues around delivering online and hybrid training
• Contribute to shared community resource gathering best practices in a range of topics and disciplines.

Since the pandemic began, open science trainers have had to move training online. For some, this wasn’t new but for many, learning how to run training online became essential. New skills had to be learned quickly and over the last 18 months many different techniques and tools have been tried out. In this workshop session we aim to reflect on the last 18 months and what has been learned by various members of the open science training community. We will ask what worked, what didn’t and what the future of open science training looks like as we move into hybrid face-to-face and online approaches. We will also discuss what going online has meant for open science - has training online brought particular challenges or benefits for open science? This session is global in scope but will highlight experiences mainly from Europe. The workshop will be highly interactive in order to allow participants to share their own experiences and to ask questions. There will be a mix of short presentations, interactive polling and breakout groups. The workshop will be coordinated and delivered by members of the OpenAIRE Training Community of Practice of Training Coordinators, including contributions from EOSC Synergy, OpenAIRE, SSHOC, ELIXIR, LIBER, the FORCE11 REPO project, and more. The outputs will be written up in an open report.

Summary and next steps for online training communities

primarily service providers and research communities; researchers

FAIR data policy and practice: from theory to implementation, RDM best practices, Sharing best practices and knowledge

Research Data Management, Metadata, Semantics, FAIR implementation, Research Data services

After the session, service providers will have a better understanding of how they are expected to respond to FAIR demands according to the type of service that they operate. Also, several research communities and researchers will learn about new services and how far these are in the process of FAIR implementation. Furthermore they will be introduced to the work on FAIR Semantics in order to understand the types of requirements and activities recommended by the FAIRsFAIR project for enabling I3 of the FAIR principles. 

Semantic artefacts are important aspects of the FAIR principles and therefore the EOSC, which is being designed to enable them: EOSC as the “Web of FAIR data”. Since the FAIR principles were published, recommendations for the compliance of researchers have been articulated in various guides. Training is also offered by actors, such as OpenAIRE, RDA, and CODATA. Recently, discussions have shifted focus to the role of Research Infrastructures and Service Providers to address actions needed for enabling the FAIRness of data. Considering that services handle data as input and/or output in their workflows.

This session is coordinated by NI4OS-Europe, in collaboration with FAIRsFAIR. NI4OS-Europe will highlight an activity to strengthen capacity of stakeholders to enable aspects of the FAIR principles which are most closely related to metadata and ontologies. Similarly FAIRsFAIR will present its work in this area.

NI4OS-Europe Group of Experts: established to contribute to NI4OS-Europe activities via training and focused group discussions. The aim is to articulate best practices for FAIR implementation and provide a pathway on integrations and/or alterations that are necessary for enhancing existing services or new services that are onboarded to EOSC via the NI4OS-Europe pre-production environment. This collaboration contributes to maximizing compliance with the FAIR principles as well as offering experts the possibility of onboarding their services via NI4OS-Europe.

The FAIRsFAIR “FAIR Semantics” Task: aims to support the creation of a federated semantic space by harmonising practices in the development and usage of semantics in representing and describing information and knowledge. It establishes guidelines for practitioners, repositories, the community, and related stakeholders. The FAIR Semantics recommendations consist of 17 Preliminary Recommendations related to the FAIR principles, and 14 Best Practices aimed at harmonising the approach to handling, using and developing semantic artefacts.

There will be presentations and discussions with Service providers, Researchers, Research Communities.

Research data management; Data repository; EOSC readiness; Western Balkans; Serbia

A delay in open and FAIR data policies and practices created a significant gap in the uptake of EOSC between the EU and non-EU Western Balkans countries (Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia), which can be observed in the lack of infrastructure, policies, incentives, and professional data stewards or librarians with suitable competencies and skills. This lightning talk will present the results of a small team of professionals from the University of Belgrade (Serbia) on the co-creation activity funded by the EOSC Secretariat under the title “Boosting EOSC readiness: Creating a scalable model for capacity building in RDM”. The objective was to create a model for local capacity building in research data management adjusted to the needs of South-Slavic-speaking countries of non-EU Western Balkans countries. The model is applicable in any similar environment struggling with limited financial and human resources.

Activities included designing a web portal with guidelines and tutorials about research data management, setting up and localizing an interoperable and scalable Dataverse data repository, devising data management procedures, designing and testing trainings for local communities, and devising research data policy recommendations at various levels.

The main results of this Co-creation activity are the web portal with guidelines and training materials, a demo Dataverse data repository SERDAR (SErbian Research DAta Repository), localized (translated in Serbian) software application Argos for creating machine-actionable Data Management Plans, and a proposal for RDM-related amendments to existing national, institutional, and journal policies on Open Science, providing an input for the activities of the national Team for Open Science (established in 2020). Due to similarities between languages in the Western Balkans, all the results, which are freely available under the Creative Commons Attribution license, can be adapted to local needs and reused.

This activity contributed to the overall EOSC awareness and readiness in non-EU Western Balkans countries by founding a firm ground for cultural change related to the scientific practices in the research community. This approach can be of great value to the universities and research institutions in countries that do not have already established infrastructure and policies for research data management and sharing. In Serbia, the project will have both a formal and an informal follow-up. All team members are also members of the official national Team for Open Science and they will advocate for policy changes, infrastructure development and the introduction of formal training for data stewards along the lines defined in the project. On the other hand, the same team has recently established the Open Science Community Serbia, which will provide an informal framework for actions aimed at building an Open Science community and culture in Serbia

The talk aims to attract a heterogeneous audience consisting of professionals in academia and industry with diverse backgrounds

Open Science Infrastructure (OSI) is struggling with the challenge of being invisible. Although OSIs constitute a crucial part of the scholarly communications landscape, facilitating knowledge exchange, supporting libraries in achieving their OS targets, and complying with OS policies, their existence is not always reflected in library budget considerations. The scholarly community relies on OSIs, yet very often without realizing that there are operational and development costs  related to their open existence. These key infrastructures are typically managed by highly competent but under-resourced teams who over-deliver, and it is sadly ironic that their hard work renders their need for additional resources invisible. At worst, these teams risk burnout and overreach, and need to manage a constant need to find new bridge funding.

Many libraries have started to collectively help raise funds across the world for OSIs through SCOSS campaigns, raising more than 3m euros as of August 2021 for DOAJ, Sherpa Romeo, PKP, OpenCitations and DOAB and OAPEN. As SCOSS is now launching its third pledging round with three new services to be announced in the summer, we seek to look deeper into mechanisms of collective funding for OSIs. In the spring, as part of a SCOSS strategy exercise, we launched a global survey asking the wider research community about sustaining Open Science Infrastructure, and the mechanisms through which it should be supported. The proposed workshop will present preliminary results of the SCOSS survey and hear from various stakeholders: from the OSIs supported by the SCOSS program and from institutions who have contributed to a collective effort of funding them. Lessons learnt from this experience will hopefully trigger a wider discussion on the importance of funding the invisible and the potential that collective funding models bring.

Blue-Cloud is the thematic EOSC for the marine domain, delivering a collaborative virtual environment to enhance FAIR and Open Science, underpinned by simplified access to an unprecedented wealth of marine data resources and interoperable added-value services and products.
Blue-Cloud federates leading European marine data infrastructures and e-infrastructures, allowing researchers to combine, reuse, and share quality data across disciplines and countries.
The federation takes place at the levels of data resources, computing resources and analytical service resources. A Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access Service (DDAS) is developed to facilitate sharing with users of multidisciplinary datasets. A Blue Cloud-Virtual Research Environment (VRE) was established to enable the sharing of computing and analytical services for specific applications.
The DDAS architecture is based upon a combination of the GeoDab metadata broker service of CNR-IIA, and the SeaDataNet CDI service modules as developed by MARIS, IFREMER, and EUDAT. The overall concept is that the DDAS harvests metadata from the data infrastructures federated in Blue-Cloud by means of protocols such as CSW or OAI-PMH, providing discovery and access to users through a user-friendly interface.
The VRE is developed by the Italian National Research Council (CNR), built on the D4Science infrastructure and the gCube open source technology. Services include Data Analytics (Data Miner, Software and Algorithms Importer (SAI), RStudio, JupyterHub), Spatial Data Infrastructure to store, discover, access, and manage vectorial and raster georeferenced datasets, and services and components enabling users to document and then either share with selected colleagues or make available online any generated product (e.g. analytical methods, workflows, processes, notebooks). Being enriched with automatically generated provenance metadata, those products enable reusability, repeatability and reproducibility and promote Open Science.
In this demo, we will explain how to access and use these services, which are open for testing to researchers from all domains of ocean science.

The learning outcomes of the workshop will be: 

• Topics and priorities of the EOSC Advisory Groups and Task Forces
• Contribute to the AGs and TFs
• Through collaborative discussion, understand existing resources and strategic priorities from the OS Fair community

This interactive session is organised by the EOSC Association and will provide information on the vision and priorities of the Implementation Phase of the European Open Science Cloud. It will also gather information on new ideas and resources coming from the OS Fair participants that can contribute directly to the newly set up EOSC Advisory Groups and their Task Forces.

The EOSC Association represents a single voice for the advocacy and representation of the broader EOSC Stakeholder community in Europe, promoting alignment of EU research policy and priorities. A key role of the Association is to continuously develop the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) which will influence future EOSC activities at institutional, national and EU level (including the EOSC-related work programmes in Horizon Europe). This living document will adapt to the changing EOSC ecosystem and the needs of EOSC stakeholders.

To achieve this, the Association has set up a series of Advisory Groups (AG) with Task Forces (TF) to engage with the EOSC community around priority areas which will be discussed.

EOSC Directors and TF coordinators will first present the charters and remit for each TF. Then we’ll be holding an open discussion, inviting participants to contribute directly to a pooling of ideas, current activities or resources that could contribute or be of interest to the TFs. We’re also interested in your concerns and priorities – what do you not see covered by the TFs or feel is a gap in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. In the end we’ll be summarizing the main advice, resources and outcomes of each in a final panel session.

Research Data Management, Catalogues, Train-the-trainer, Semantic interoperability, Capacity building

Learning objectives:

• Participants are aware of catalogues that have been developed.
• Catalogues have exchanged experiences and best practices on standards and rules of participation and have identified the challenges
• Possible actions to tackle these challenges and to increase interaction have been identified

RDM training and support has been identified as a major challenge in many organisations. Increasingly resources are invested in data steward teams to take up the task of training researchers. Naturally data stewards must also be trained to take up the job at hand. Many materials are produced to support professional development and train-the-trainer activities for researchers, data stewards and others involved in enabling FAIR and Open research. Many European funded projects have developed catalogues or intend to do so, sometimes with a particular discipline or profile in mind. They each have their peculiarities but encounter similar challenges and decisions to make. In the EOSC context a catalogue of catalogues has been proposed by the Training and Skills WG, to improve FAIRness of training materials. Building on two previous events organised by INFRAEOSC-5 projects, and ongoing collaboration with the Research Data Alliance (RDA) interest group on Education and Training in Handling Research Data (IGETHRD), this workshop will help consolidate further steps to improve sustainability of catalogues, and their technical and semantic interoperability. In this workshop we aim to describe and compare several catalogues developed. We will investigate solutions to interact and we will formulate advice on how to proceed in the future to sustainably catalogue the training resources needed for researchers and data stewards to make digital research objects that are FAIR and open'.

EOSC Portal, User experience, Research resources

The EOSC Portal is a building block of the EOSC implementation roadmap, representing one of the expected “federating core” services contributing to the implementation of the “Access and interface” action line. It has been conceived to provide a European delivery channel connecting the demand-side and the supply-side of EOSC and its different stakeholders.
The EOSC Portal is a gateway to information and resources in EOSC, providing updates on its governance and players, the projects contributing to its realisation, funding opportunities for EOSC stakeholders, relevant European and national policies, documents, and recent developments. The EOSC Portal Catalogue & Marketplace acts as an entry point to the multitude of services and resources for researchers.
The Marketplace is an integrated platform that allows easy access to resources from top European providers for various research domains along with integrated data analytics tools.
This demo will offer an overview of the user experience, improved within the EOSC Enhance project, and a tutorial on how to use the main features and functionalities to exploit a growing number of resources available to researchers.
