Tor Vergata’s Roadmap to Open ScienceUniversidad Carlos III de Madrid, 6 - 8 November 2019Paola CoppolaTor Vergata aims at playing an active role in promotingOpen Sciencehttp://bit.ly/343JSTQThe University intends to develop a realistic and affordable  plan to better address changes of such great relevanceThe value of Openness lies in its potential2Tor Vergata’s backgroud• TV signed the Messina Declaration  adhering to the Berlin Declaration on OA• In order to implement OA principles, TV supported the green road by creating Tor Vergata OpenArchive (DSpace)           - focused on PhDDissertations• TV has been actively engaged in the CRUI-OA WG to support implementation of OA in italian universities • Activities concentred on the drafting of Guidelines  and Recommendations then adopted by several universities• The Open Archive changed its focus: the University in order to create its own Research Registry adopted IRIS, a new CRIS (by CINECA) fully integrated with Dspace, OpenAire and CERIF compliant.• The data are used for assessment of research unit and evaluation campaigns within universities- ART includes almost 68000 publications of which 13% open access- currently high majority of italian universities (70) adopted IRIS20042007-2013CRUI OAWG2014IRIS ARTBeing part of YERUN represents the opportunity for Tor Vergatato design an extensive approach to Open Scholarshipan affordable path to OS can be built according to a bottom-up approachhttps://www.yerun.eu/events/yerun-staff-week-and-general-assembly-in-antwerp/42018: Tor Vergata got on board YERUN OSWG !Joined force from different areas The University has recently established an OS Interfaculty workinggroup to develop a Roadmap based on its own specificities, on theitalian context and on the framework of YERUN/Europe…from the experience of the Faculties to develop a OS Policy Planthrough the Interfaculty working group…6Joined force from different areasInformal (amazing!) meeting with Eva Mendez, University of Rome, 7th June 2019The OSWG includes people by the System Library (3), the InternationalResearch units (2), the IT services (2), together with Researchers (14)and PhD students (3) representing all disciplinary areas of our academiccommunityThe Roadmap pillarEducation and SkillsprogramRewards/  Incentives and Evaluation PublicEngagement/Citizen SciencePublishing and Infrastructure 7Institutional  Policy  Framework   developing exploringencouraging strengtheningOpen Science sub-groupsEducation and SkillsprogramRewards/  Incentives and Evaluation PublicEngagement/Citizen SciencePublishing and Infrastructure 8Institutional  Policy  Framework   developing exploringencouraging strengtheningsgESsgPIsgRIEsgPEnot yet activeInstitutional policy frameworkMandate policy on full OA publications (by 2021?) and research data(underlying data) resulting from publically funded research also including internal incentives and a reward system – (“motivators of will!”-E.Mendez)Draw up a Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (RRI) that makesreference to OS practices and values, based on the principles suggest inthe ALLEA Code for RI - reliability, honesty, transparency, full unbiasedway…RI in the whole research cycle full trust in science! relevant in the current context of data intensive research (reproducibiliy)  Inclusion of OS dimension in the University Strategic Plan. Reference areas  Research, Education (OS should become an indicator in the Quality Assurance System)   3rd Mission / Public Engagement  / UN SDGs :  enhance actions for social, cultural and economic development Make OS Literacy obligatory for PhD students programs9Advocacy programme on benefits of OA/OS approach along its variousdimension, tailored on a variety of audience and disciplines aimed atpromoting OS culture, the shift of agency, with a special focus on EarlyCareer Researchers. On-line courses / brief videos and tutorials workshop and conference / seminars in all departments F2F meetings experiences by way of a game (…waiting for escape room ) LibraryOpenLab… but also BiOpenLab, LawOpenLab… also with other Institutions(mutual learning process) Specific training course (Blended) to develop skills share&re-use, withregard to scholarly publishing and research data management from basic skillsto the ones needed to implement research data curation and managementresearch projects10SG Education and Skills build awareness and competenciesWe don’t need to reinvent the wheel! OSXOSUsing advantages of the open approach to make courses on OS: Re-using contents, repackaging them and creating  modules customized for our contextExploring new ways of publishing Gold road (DOAJ - No hybrid OA) E-publishing journals platform. Set up Tor Vergata OA publishing platform (OJS)  including original publications - journals published by the Departments    University Pressonly Tor Vergata brand   with other YERUN Universities (increasing visibility and  prestige and sharing skills, costs, critical issues)Including OA principles in negotiations with commercial academic publishers, inprimis for Tor Vergata publications (priority legal framework)Costs analysis on subscriptitions and publishing on traditional journals, with special focus on Article Processing Charges (APCs)   survey on how many articles Tor Vergata produces yearly, how much Tor Vergata spend on publishing - double dipping…11SG Publishing and InfrastructuresART: Institutional Repositories ‘2.0’: more research-centric, more functionalities, more levels of interoperabilityPure platform, will be the University Research Portal, the showcase foruniversity research (not as a native repository)Pure will use IRIS data, in order to evaluate also the scientific productionof non bibliometric areas. the University will be able to calculate in an automated way:a)Number of books;b)Number of Articles in scientific journals (lists of scientific journals published by ANVUR);c)Number of book chapters with ISBN;d)Number of articles in class A journals (lists of area class A journals published by ANVUR);e)Patents12SG Publishing and Infrastructuresmaking research data  “as open as possible, ad closed as necessary” Open Data Repository?Pilot on open data with PURE (?): voluntary research team (…but alsotwo researchers)the paradox: using a proprietary platform (and then it's Elsevier) to doOpen Science!13SG Publishing and InfrastructuresSG Rewards / Incentives and Evaluation taking into account value and impact of all research outputs (includingdatasets and software) in addition to research publications testing a range of impact measures including qualitative indicators (nextgeneration of metrics) of research impact (not just JIF, SNIP) such asinfluence on policy and practice. testing open peer review 14Under discussionChanging rewards system and assessment evaluation Why should we go beyond the Impact Factor?From GDP to HDI Integrating OS in the HR career in recruitment, performance evaluation, so that researchers are properly recognized and rewarded for practicing OA/OS Considering Open Science in the internal research assessment  15Tor Vergata’s Roadmap to Open Science Social Science Experience: Economics Starting with the next semester two new experimental projects will be started in our undergraduate and graduate courses of study:the first is scheduled as part of the extra activities in the MSc in BusinessAdministration: 24 hour – 3 credits / introductory course on open scienceand open access, with compulsory attendancethe second concerns the BA in Economic and Finance. The shortbachelor thesis will be substituted by a final paper where the studentdescribes his documentary work in his chosen topic.The report, supported by the librarians, will be focused on the useof reliable open access resources.16OS skills in the Study courses (pilots)the BiblioVerifica blog is an attempt by librariansto fight misinformation by using media anddata literacy, engaging citizens as awarenessusers of the social networks, chats and blogs.BiblioVerifica aims to be a public engagementproject to support public understanding ofscience, based on MIL practices, implementingtips and tricks about search tools, reliablesources, verification strategies. This initiativepromotes factchecking based on openresources as data, journals, and tools.17Public engagement: BiblioVerifica blog18Social Observatory for Disinformation and Social Media Analysishttps://www.disinfobservatory.org/the-observatory/is just at the beginning, hoping to enlarge and internationalize this   …also with your help!Changes at home... but not only!We are aware that in order to successfully become an “Open ScienceUniversity” we need:Dialogue: we can't be alone on this journey. We have to cooperatewith the Italian academic system, Yerun network and the Europeaninstitutions, also participating in projects funded on the subjectResources: we need to allocate funds to the Open Science in theUniversity budget and we have to look for EU funded project on thisareaPeople: we have to acquire/develop new professionals in theuniversity, with expertise on data management (data steward), also inview of Italy's participation in EOSCInvolvement: we need to develop a bottom-up approach, focusing onthe training of doctoral students and young researchers, whorepresent the future of researchThank you!20coppola@economia.uniroma2.it
