OpenAIRE and compliancy
with the EC/ERC OA policies
1/4
OpenAIRE in a nutshell…
How to comply with the EC/ERC OA policies
The European Comission and the European Research 
Council want to provide the widest dissemination and 
access to the results of the research they fund.
OpenAIRE implements the Open Access
requirements in EU Member States
4
Main goals
Deliver an electronic infrastructure and 
supporting mechanisms for the identification, 
deposition, access, and monitoring of FP7 and ERC 
funded articles.
Additionally, offer a special repository for articles 
that can be stored neither in institutional nor in 
subject‐based/thematic repositories.
All deposited articles will be visible and freely 
accessible world‐wide through a new portal to 
the products of EU‐funded research, built as part 
of this project. 
Work with several subject communities to explore 
the requirements and practices to deposit, access 
and manage research datasets in combination 
with research publications.

European Research Council
December 2007
ERC Scientific Council publishes 
Guidelines for Open Access, as a 
follow up of its 2006 Statement on 
Open Access.
ERC, requires:
that all peer‐reviewed 
publications from ERC‐funded 
research projects be deposited on 
publication into an appropriate 
disciplinary or institutional 
repository, and subsequently 
made Open Access within 6 
months of publication.

Open Access Pilot in FP7
August 2008
European Commission launched 
the Open Access Pilot in FP7 that will run 
until the end of the Framework 
Programme
The pilot applies to 7 research areas:
1. Energy
2. Environment (including Climate Change)
3. Health
4. Information and Communication 
Technologies (Cognitive Systems, 
Interaction, Robotics)
5. Research Infrastructures (e‐
infrastructures)
6. Science in society
7. Socio‐economic sciences and the 
humanities
7
Open Access Pilot in FP7
Grant agreements in those 7 
areas, signed after August 2008, 
contain a special clause (Special 
Clause 39) requiring beneficiaries:
1. to deposit articles resulting from FP7 
projects into an institutional or 
subject based repository
2. to make their best efforts to ensure 
open access to these articles within 
six months (Energy, Environment, 
Health, Information and 
Communication Technologies, 
Research Infrastructures) or twelve 
months (Science in Society, Socio‐
economic Sciences and Humanities

document)
OR
Final manuscript accepted for publication
– final manuscript of a peer‐reviewed paper accepted for 
journal publication, including all modifications from the 
peer review process, but not yet formatted by the 
publisher (also referred to as “post‐print” version).

Where to deposit?
Institutional repository
– of the research institution with which they are affiliated
OR (If this is not possible)
Subject based/thematic repository
OR
Orphan Repository provided by OpenAIRE  for 
articles that can be stored neither in institutional nor 
in subject‐based/thematic repositories
11
When to deposit?
Researchers should deposit their articles or manuscripts in a 
relevant repository immediately upon acceptance for 
publication, to be made open access within six or twelve 
month depending on the FP7 research area

How to make your repository
OpenAIRE compliant
2/4
Steps to make your repository OpenAIRE complaint
OpenAIRE guidelines
Steps to make your repository
OpenAIRE complaint
1.Register your repository in OpenDOAR
OpenDOAR is an authoritative worldwide directory of 
academic open access repositories.
2. Test compliancy with OpenAIRE
Make your repository OpenAIRE complaint – by 
implementing the OpenAIRE Guidelines
17
3. Add your repository in OpenAIRE
OpenAIRE in collaboration with OpenDOAR provides you an 
easy web tool to help you register the repository.
1. OpenDOAR
The first step is to register your repository in 
OpenDOAR.
If you are already registered in OpenDOAR:
– Check if the information is update
– Attention to the URL and admin email
18
2. OpenAIRE Guidelines
First of all, compliance to the OpenAIRE guidelines 
The purpose of OpenAIRE Guidelines is to make FP7/ ERC 
publications visible. To achieve this and allow central 
harvesting of FP7/ ERC publications, repositories must 
comply with some minimum technical requirements.
“The OpenAIRE Guidelines are simple metadata 
specifications for repositories that need to be OpenAIRE 
compliant. After complying to the OpenAIRE guidelines, the 
repository will become the single entry point for 
researchers that want to deposit FP7 publications.”
19
2. OpenAIRE Guidelines
Make your repository OpenAIRE compliant by 
implementing the OpenAIRE Guidelines
Plugins (popular repository platforms) helps to 
implement the guidelines
Repository should enable the deposition of 
publication files and metadata (also info relative to 
the EC projects funding)
Get EC project data
20
2. Test the OpenAIRE
compliance
After you have made some progress in implementing the 
guidelines you should run a compliancy test.
The OpenAIRE provides a validator where you can verify if 
the repository is truly compatible with the guidelines.
www.openaire.eu:8380/dnet‐validator‐openaire 
Enter the OAI‐PMH base URL of your repository and choose 
to test your repository against the OpenAIRE rule set. 
After running the test you can browse the results. 
Please make sure you have an ec_fundedresources set and 
that it contains at least one record.
21
3. Join OpenAIRE
After a short compliancy test, your repository will be ready to 
join OpenAIRE »» www.openaire.eu:8380/dnet‐validator‐openaire
Use the validator web tool to register the repository

OAI extended Addon
OAI Extended Addon (or a patch to be more precise):
– Extends the base functionality of the OAI‐PMH interface and 
delivers repository administrators more flexibility and 
functionalities to select and filter the information.
– The purpose of the OAI Extended Addon was to modify the 
OAI Interface's output, showing only items that were 
compliant with the DRIVER Guidelines.
– The Addon provides also the tools to create a set according to 
the requirements of the OpenAIRE Guidelines, helping 
European repositories to become OpenAIRE compliant.
