0 likes643 views
The document provides an update on the FP7 post-grant open access pilot in the Nordic region, detailing the application process for funding through a central system available on the OpenAIRE portal. It outlines the eligibility requirements for funding requests submitted by researchers or on their behalf by libraries, as well as the intended improvements for APC-free journals. Additionally, it discusses the role of NOADs in raising awareness and disseminating information about the initiative, with opportunities for online engagement and collaboration.
The EC/OpenAIRE FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot: An Update for the Nordic NOADs
- 1. The EC/OpenAIRE FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot: An Update for Nordic Region NOADs Pablo de Castro Open Access Project Officer LIBER – Ligue des bibliothèques européennes de recherche
- 2. 2 The Pilot Factsheets Three Pilot factsheets in the pipeline for: Researchers Institutions Publishers These are still drafts – the final URLs will be announced when the factsheets get released
- 3. Applying for Funding: the System 3 A central system for collecting and processing funding requests has been made available at the OpenAIRE Portal, https://postgrantoapilot.openaire.eu/ Check the demo video on how to use this central system at: http://www.liber2015.org.uk/event/openaire2020-workshop-on-gold-open-access/?instance_id=365
- 4. Users registered so far 4
- 5. How to Apply for Funding 5 1. Funding requests may be directly submitted by researchers or delivered by Libraries and/or Research Offices on their behalf 1. Users need to register with the Central System in order to submit a funding request 1. Data about the project and the accepted publication will be requested in order to check their eligibility. Once this is checked, the funding request will be approved and left pending until an invoice is available 1. Invoice for the OA publishing fee needs to be uploaded into the Central System when made available by the publisher. The invoice must be issued to Athena Research Centre (ARC).
- 6. 6 Early Outcomes Consultations on eligibility for funding arrived before submission are welcome and are included in the list, but no funding will be provided until acceptance, and their presence in the table does not mean they are on a waiting list A spreadsheet with details for the granted funding requests is already being kept
- 7. 7 Early Outcomes: funding requests
- 8. 8 Early Outcomes: funded outputs An “FP7 Post-Grant OA Pilot Outputs” collection is already available in Zenodo https://zenodo.org/ collection/user- fp7postgrantoapilot outputs
- 9. 9 APC-equivalent Funding Instead of APCs, this APC-equivalent funding for APC-free journals will fund technical improvements in the publishing workflows at eligible journals. Two main challenges to tackle: Defining the technical and administrative mechanisms for providing the funding, which includes (among others) what to fund, whom to fund, how to fund and what indicators to use for accountability. Making sure eligible researchers will submit their work to these journals, which includes a specific dissemination strategy plus ensuring SSH journals are registered in ERIH+ and checking how many FP7-funded publications have previously been published in them.
- 10. 10 Some fundable improvements The current (draft) list of fundable technical improvements for APC-free journals includes: • Collecting funder information (if/where declared and applicable) in the appropriate metadata element, also retrospectively • Registration in ERIH+/DOAJ • Becoming harvested by OpenAIRE and DOAJ (at article-level) • Improving OA advocacy towards authors (incl Pilot dissemination) • Implementing OJS peer-review and manuscript processing workflows • Including references in machine-readable format • Implementing ORCID • Implementing altmetrics
- 11. 11 What NOADs can do Getting in contact with eligible researchers and projects to raise awareness of the initiative once list of contact persons have been collected from internal systems. Translate the Pilot factsheets for researchers and institutions and disseminating them across the institutions in the country. Identify opportunities for dissemination of the initiative and let the Pilot coordination know about them. A Pilot poster is available now that can be re-used. Follow the uptake of institutional webpages with info on the Pilot. Hold a national online session or webinar on this FP7 Post-Grant OA Pilot for interested institutions in the country. The Pilot coordination will be keen to support the effort, even with an online presentation. Share the periodic reports on the progress of the initiative.
