PEER D3.1 Guidelines for publishers and repository managers on deposit, assisted deposit and self-archiving

Guidelines documenting the procedures for publisher deposit; for author assisted deposit and self-archiving, and for transfer to participating PEER repositories are presented here by Work Package (WP) 3: Repository Management and Reporting, following extensive consul- tation with both target groups

Nota toekomst Nederlandse infrastructuur voor auteursidentifiers

De Digital Author Identifier (DAI) is het unieke nummer voor Nederlandse wetenschappelijke auteurs. Dit nummer is in 2005 als onderdeel van het SURF DARE programma ontwikkeld en sindsdien in gebruik bij alle Nederlandse universiteiten en een aantal onderzoeksinstituten. Door de Nederlandse focus van dit systeem is de DAI volgens velen van beperkte waarde binnen het internationaal karakter van de wetenschap. Anno 2014 is er een aantal ontwikkelingen dat van invloed is op keuzes in de ontwikkeling van deze nationale infrastructuur. Dit document beschrijft de achtergrond van auteurs identifiers, de opzet van de Nederlandse DAI infrastructuur en de ontwikkeling van twee internationale standaarden. Tot slot worden enkele relevante ontwikkelingen in de nationale context waarna er een aantal conclusies en aanbevelingen voor vervolg gedaan wordt.Related to: Case Study Adoption of the DAI in the Netherlands and subsequent superseding by ORCID/ISNI DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.732750

Funding research data management and related infrastructures: Knowledge Exchange and Science Europe briefing paper

Research Funding Organisations (RFO) and Research Performing Organisations (RPO) throughout Europe are well aware that science and scholarship increasingly depend on infrastructures supporting sustainable Research Data Management (RDM). In two complementary surveys, the Science Europe Working Group on Research Data and the Knowledge Exchange Research Data Expert Group explored how organisations funding and performing research think and act with respect to the funding of RDM and the related infrastructures. The resulting report illustrates the diversity of the funding landscape with respect to research data in Europe and the critical challenges that this presents. The funding of RDI, enabling RDM, comes from a great variety of sources and institutions that have different responsibilities and that operate at local, national and international levels. Significant parts of the funding have particular disciplinary dimensions. The funding actors, levels and disciplines are not part of a coordinated structure. This situation presents a huge challenge to the sustainability of RDM 3. Some RFOs and most RPOs contribute to the funding of specialised data infrastructure providers, which play key roles in providing RDI and in supporting RDM. Especially among RFOs there is no generally-accepted view on who should be responsible for the sustained funding of such providers; however, providers funded by RPOs tend to focus on servicing their own organisation. As a consequence, the infrastructure providers have different perspectives on their own and others’ roles and responsibilities, which is a hindrance for effective (inter-)national and (inter-)disciplinary coordination. The many RDM services that these organisations fund, offer and use represent a wide variety, and all of these come in many flavours: local, national, international; discipline specific; and with all types of different, sometimes overlapping, beneficiaries

Emerging Standards for Enhanced Publications and Repository Technology : Survey on Technology

This book consists of two main parts: New Technologies and Communities, and Interoperability. The New Technologies and Communities part contains the following three chapters: one on the Grid, i.e. network, computing community, one on long-term preservation (LTP) strategies and projects, and one on the European CRIS community (Computer Research Information Systems). CRIS-systems are based in research institutions and national administrations, and should evolve into a European-wide e-infrastructure. Of course, there are differences between the repository (publications) and CRIS (research information) communities, but just like Grid computing and LTP, the CRIS community is a related, pan-European community, which deserves a place alongside the other chapters in this publication. The other part of the book, Interoperability, deals with the new standards, formats and evolutions in the repository world and beyond, all related to the dissemination and interoperability of Enhanced Publications. Forthcoming D-NET developments will need to be interoperable with many of these emerging standards because they are being used to disseminate Enhanced Publications. Every chapter of this part describes an emerging standard, a relevant community or platform, and follows a three-tiered approach: theory, case studies and opportunities for DRIVER. The introduction and theoretical framework explains and defines the technology or community in a DRIVER II context, which is followed by case studies and projects that have implemented these standards or technologies, in order to evaluate the relevance and quality for DRIVER. The last part of every chapter always contains the outcomes for DRIVER II, and serves as input for the technical team for the development of D-NET
