Open access in Southern European countries

The Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) is a public foundation under the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation whose mission is to strengthen the value chain of knowledge by fostering science and innovation and trying to integrate them and bring them closer to society, in response to the needs and expectations of the Spanish science, technology and enterprise system. The Foundation’s goal is to be recognized by Spanish society as a key reference in the dissemination, information and measurement of science and innovation. It also wishes to contribute to the development of a knowledge-based economy. One of the main challenges of the Foundation is to lead the integration and rationalization of scientific information and science, technology and innovation metrics, described as the “integrate and measure vector” in its 2010- 2012 strategic plan. FECYT already has considerable experience in managing national scientific information. It is the national licensee of the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge accessed by the Spanish scientific community. It is also firmly committed to establishing itself as the Spanish hub in favour of the open access (OA) movement (for free access to scientific information available on the Internet), in combination with supporting the traditional markets of scientific information. In 2010 FECYT organized the 5th International Conference on Open Repositories in Madrid, with the aim of positioning Spain in the debate on emerging trends in the management of scientific information. The authorities are opening the door to the open access movement, under the belief that publicly funded research should be freely available. Among other initiatives, the 2010 Spanish Bill on Science, Technology and Innovation urges researchers to deposit their research papers produced with public funding in institutional repositories

Persistent Identifier (PID) role in supporting open research infrastructure

<p>Turkish research institutions produce various research outputs and resources such as datasets, theses and protocols. These outputs do not receive the best recognition and visibility they deserve. Adopting persistent identifiers (PIDs) can increase the discoverability of these outputs and promote reusability by sharing them with the broader research community.<br><br>In his presentation, Gultekin Gurdal explains persistent identifier (PID) role in supporting open research infrastructure. </p><p>A recording of the talk can be found here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvqKUFeypT0&t=98s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvqKUFeypT0&t=98s</a></p&gt

Repository Landscape in Turkey and GCRIS: The first National Research Information System

Extended abstract presented at the CRIS2022 conference in Dubrovnik.-- Event programme available at https://cris2022.srce.hr/#section-program32 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the session "The evolving CRIS landscape"Turkey has one of the largest higher education landscapes in Europe, with 207 universities. 129 of them are financed publicly, and the rest are non-profit foundation universities. The Council of Higher Education - CoHE has been administrating the activities of the universities in Turkey. Higher education institutions (HEIs) aim for research excellence; therefore, it is essential to be aligned with Europe and beyond in the Open Science movement

OA report in Southern Europe

The countries of Southern Europe have unique characteristics as regards participation in the scientific communication process: they use languages that have a long tradition but are not the usual channel for scientific communication, they do not have a powerful publishing industry, they spend a smaller percentage of GDP on research and scientific data acquisition, etc. The present report arose from the activities of the Southern European Libraries Link (SELL), which represents library consortia of six countries (France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey). Although this organization was created to exchange experiences and to act as a pressure group in relation to scientific and technical publishers, its founding charter also states clearly that one of its main goals is "to draw common policies towards information acquirement and provision". In order to move towards common policies for open access to science, experts in each country were asked to provide reports on the situation of open access

NSF 19-501 AccelNet Proposal: Community of Open Scholarship Grassroots Networks (COSGN)

The Community of Open Scholarship Grassroots Networks (COSGN), includes 120 grassroots networks, representing virtually every region of the world and every research discipline. These networks communicate and coordinate on topics of common interest. We propose, using an NSF 19-501 Full-Scale implementation grant, to formalize governance and coordination of the networks to maximize impact and establish standard practices for sustainability. In the project period, we will increase the capacity of COSGN to advance the research and community goals of the participating networks individually and collectively, and establish governance, succession planning, shared resources, andcommunication pathways to ensure an active, community-sustained network of networks. By the end of the project period, we will have established a self-sustaining network of networks that leverages disciplinary and regional diversity, actively collaborates across networks for grassroots organizing, and shares resources for maximum impact on culture change for open scholarship
