Digital publishing, Open Access, and Grey Literature: the war in Ukraine 2022 as a use case
Farace D., Smith P. L., Biagioni S., Carlesi C.
The underlying strategy in this study focuses on digital persistent identifiers and other linked open data as they become connected and interrelated in the course of research and whose outcome is published as grey literature. On January 31st 2022, GreyNet published its 2nd edition of the International Directory of Organizations in Grey Literature (IDGL). This edition includes record entries from 45 countries worldwide with a listing of 224 organizations. Each entry contains the organization's URL and ROR ID, which further provides access to other linked open data such as GRID, ISNI, CrossRef Funder ID, and Wikidata. GreyNet will use this information resource as a lead into the project dealing with digital publishing, open access, and grey literature, whereby the War in Ukraine will serve as a use case. The population of the study relies for the greater part on IDGL, a digital publication that contains access to persistent identifiers, specifically the ROR ID. An online survey is then further designed, the questions are formulated in such a way that a number of the responses provide other linked open data and digital persistent identifiers namely ORCiDs and DOIs. Survey data together with the linked metadata gathered and compiled in this study will then be analyzed. The results are expected to demonstrate the currentness of grey literature, its diverseness in formats and document types, the organizations that stand behind these publications, and how actionable persistent identifiers opens research in grey literature to a new level playing field situated in a FAIR environment. An environment where data is not only findable and openly accessible but also interoperable and reusable by means of digital publishing. Records harvested via the online survey will be included in the RGL Collection (Resources in Grey Literature) housed in the GreyGuide Repository.Source: GL 2022 - 24th International Conference on Grey Literature: Publishing Grey Literature in the Digital Century, pp. 122–127, Online conference, 05/12/2022

GreyGuide: an example of Open Access publishing in GL
Biagioni S., Carlesi C., Farace D.
The poster shows the goals achieved in the last 5 years, the progress, new features and new resources made available by GreyGuide in support of Open Access Publishing. In 2015, GreyNet International carried out an online survey among its stakeholders in order to determine their use of its sustained information resources. Now five years on, having benefited from technical developments, the migration of hundreds of metadata full-text records, and the addition of enriched fields and functionality, the GreyGuide offers GreyNet a testbed from which to map and measure its capacity in open access publishing. The population of this study is drawn from digital resources accessible via both the GreyGuide Portal and Repository.Source: Twenty-Second International Conference on Grey Literature "Applications of Grey Literature for Science and Society".

Accessgrey: securing open access to grey literature for science and society
Farace D., Frantzen J., Biagioni S., Carlesi C., De Robbio A., Cesarek A., De Blaaij C., Ikeda K., Crowe J.
Persistent identifiers such as a DOI1 for a publication and an ORCiD2 for an author/researcher can be approached from both the demand-side as well as supply-side of information. It appears however that the former attracts more attention. Here emphasis lies in the access to and preservation of research output. Yet, it is on the supply-side regarding the acquisition of research output that persistent identifiers may by the same token have influence in identifying and populating prospective data archives and repositories. This study will look at the influence persistent identifiers have in securing the acquisition of grey literature for public access. The goal of this project is twofold. First, to carry out a survey within the grey literature community as to the opinions, uses, and applications of persistent identifiers. And second, to initiate a project geared to populate a new collection housed in the GreyGuide Repository3 by using the DOI as an incentive. Resources in Grey Literature (RGL) is as a generic, multidisciplinary collection that will serve for this purpose. Using GreyNet's distribution channels and social media, stakeholders in the field of grey literature are invited to enter one or more of their publications in the RGL collection. Each new entry will receive a DOI minted by GreyNet International and further stored and preserved in the DataCite registry4. Also, a system generated citation will be added to each new entry in order to facilitate record use. The types of grey literature documents eligible for entry in the RGL collection are numerous5. Brief guidelines for record entry require that it be self-archived using the existing online-template and that both the metadata record and accompanying full-text document(s) are in English. An additional descriptive field does allow for entry in another language. And, a translation of the document can also be uploaded in the repository. Finally, it is understood that by submitting the metadata record and file(s), they become open access compliant under Creative Commons license CC-BY-SA6. The initial phase of the project commenced in April 2019 and closed in October 2019. Records harvested during this period along with the results of the survey will be analyzed in its second phase. In the final phase, the project's outcome will be published. Results should indicate whether the AccessGrey Project be extended to other collections in the GreyGuide, and if this project would be of value to other communities of practice in the field of grey literature.Source: 21st International Conference on Grey Literature: Open Science Encompasses New Forms of Grey Literature, GL 2019, pp. 89–96, Hannover, Germany, 22-23 October, 2019

Data from "policy development for grey literature resources: An assessment of the pisa declaration"
Farace D., Savic D., Frantzen J., Biagioni S., Carlesi C.
The data collected is based on the answers of 60 respondents to an online questionnaire. The respondents were among a controlled population of signatories, who endorsed the Pisa Declaration on Policy Development for Grey Literature Resources published in English on May 16, 2014. Translations in 22 other languages have since appeared published and the Declaration remains online, open for endorsement. The dataset consists of responses to ten questions of which one allowed a single response, six allowed for multiple responses, and three were open-ended. All 10 questions invited additional comments. After two years from its initial publication, the survey sought to understand how important the organizational, educational, legal, financial, and technical points in the Pisa Declaration are to the respondent's organization, what additions and/or revisions deserve consideration, and did the respondent have an opportunity to promote public awareness to the Pisa Declaration. The data was collected over a 12-week period in 2016 via SurveyMonkey, where it remains stored along with a copy housed in the DANS Easy Archive. It's potential for reuse resides in its full open access compliance and lends itself to comparison with other Declarations published in the field of information. The reuse of the data may also be considered of value in leveraging information resources.Source: The Grey journal (Online) 16 (2020): 61–63. doi:10.17026/dans-xru-kbnd

Semantic query analysis from the global science gateway
Goggi S., Pardelli G., Bartolini R., Monachini M., Biagioni S., Carlesi C.
We focused on building a corpus constituted by the query logs registered by the GreyGuide: Repository and Portal to Good Practices and Resources in Grey Literature and received by the WorldWideScience.org (The Global Science Gateway) portal: the aim is to retrieve information related to social media which as of today represent a considerable source of data more and more widely used for research ends. This project includes eight months of query logs3 registered between July 2017 and February 2018 for a total of 445,827 queries. The analysis mainly concentrates on the semantics of the queries received from the portal clients: it is a process of information retrieval from a rich digital catalogue whose language is dynamic, is evolving and follows - as well as reflects - the cultural changes of our modern society.Source: Twentieth International Conference on Grey Literature "Research Data Fuels and Sustains Grey Literature", pp. 93–95, New Orleans, USA (Loyola University), December 3-4, 2018

GreyGuide Repository and Portal: Advancements and Impact Assessment 5 Years on!
Farace D., Biagioni S., Carlesi C.
In 2013, GreyNet International and the Institute of Information Science and Technologies of the National Research Council of Italy began work on the construction of the GreyGuide repository, which would house works of good practice in the field of grey literature. This joint venture soon expanded and came to also serve as GreyNet's Web Access Portal. Now five years on ISTI-CNR - the service provider and GreyNet International - a content provider openly discuss their return on investments in human and information resources. The presentation concludes with an impact assessment and further course of action.Source: 11th Conference on Grey Literature and Repositories, National Library of Technology, Prague, CZ, 24/10/2018

Grey Literature and Research Assessment Exercises: From the Current Criteria to the Open Science models
Giannini S., Deluca R., Molino A., Biagioni S.
In the recent years the application of strategies, procedures and tools to evaluate the research have become subject of interest and their application is currently matter of discussion. The assessment exercises are regulated at national level and are carried out in different European countries such as France, United Kingdom and The Netherlands. In Italy the first research assessment exercise has been legislated in 2003 and entrusted to a specific Committee named Comitato di Indirizzo per la Valutazione della Ricerca (CIVR)1. Three years later the CIVR and other committees have been replaced by a specific Agency named Agenzia Nazionale di Valutazione del Sistema Universitario e della Ricerca (ANVUR). This Agency, set up at the end of 2006, aims to «...rationalize the system of assessment of the quality of Universities, state and private Research Institutions beneficiary of public funds...» « The results of these activities managed by ANVUR represent a criteria to assign the state funds to Universities and Research Institutions». It is not hard to imagine that the effects of this type of exercise has a strong political implication and determines a significant economic impact on the future of Universities and Research Institutions. The debate concerning the adopted methods and critical aspects about the assessment exercises is studied thoroughly at international level. At the present time, ANVUR has completed two evaluation exercises of the quality of the research named Valutazione della Qualità della Ricerca (VQR): the first one spans the years 2004 - 2010; the second from 2011 to 2014. The work analyzes the environment of VQR in order to understand the organizational set-up, the operational models, the scientific areas involved in the process, the selection and evaluation criteria and indicators of the research products. The work looks at the environment of VQR in order to understand the organizational set-up, the operational models, the scientific Areas involved in the process and the selection and evaluation criteria of the research products. More in detail, our work analyzes and compares the evaluation exercises conducted in Italy with the aim of verifying if and how Grey Literature is involved in the research evaluation processes. The article checked the types of products admissible for the research assessment and those actually presented by the researchers of Universities and Research Institutions. We measured the products from a quantitative point of view and observed their ramification in the different disciplinary fields rather than their transformation during the period of time taken into consideration. At the same time, we focused on the Open Science movement in order to understand what could be its role within the research assessment exercises and how it could affect the future of scholarly scientific communication.Source: The Grey journal (Print) 14 (2018): 55–68.

A terminological "journey" in the Grey Literature domain
Bartolini R., Pardelli G., Goggi S., Giannini S., Biagioni S.
The work analyzes a corpus constituted of the entire amount of full research papers published in the GL conference series over a time-span of more than one decade (2003-2014) with the aim of creating a terminological map of relevant words in the various GL research topics. "... corpora used to extract terminological units can be further investigated to find semantic and conceptual information on terms or to represent conceptual relationships between terms. (Bourigault D. et al., 2001). Another interesting inquiry is the terminology used in the GL conferences for describing the types of documents which can be detected (Pej?ová P. et al., 2012).Source: Eighteenth International Conference on Grey Literature (GL18) : Leveraging Diversity in Grey Literature, pp. 117–130, New York, US, November 28-29, 2016

Policy Development for Grey Literature Resources: An Assessment of the Pisa Declaration
Savic D., Farace D., Frantzen J., Biagioni S., Carlesi C., Gruttemeier H., Stock C.
In the spring of 2014, a workshop took place at the Italian National Council of Research in Pisa1. The topic of this event dealt with policy development for grey literature resources. Some seventy participants from nine countries took an active part in the workshop - the outcome of which produced what is today known as the Pisa Declaration2. This fifteen point document arising from the input of those who attended the workshop sought to provide a roadmap that would help to serve diverse communities involved in research, publication and the management of grey literature both in electronic and print formats. The Pisa Declaration has been translated and published in some twenty languages. They are all accessible online via the GreyGuide Repository3 and Portal4. Currently, 140 information professionals from renowned organizations worldwide have endorsed this document5. In an effort to assess the impact that the Pisa Declaration has had during the last two years on the policy development for grey literature resources, an online survey among those who endorsed the document was carried out and their responses were analysed. Descriptive statistics and short summaries are used to describe the basic features of the data collected. They are combined with simple graphics that offer easier visual representation of the results achieved. Specific results of the survey analysis indicate those points in the Pisa Declaration that in varying degrees are of relevance and importance to grey literature, as well as points that need further attention and work. Although integral part of library and information management practice grey literature has its own peculiarities and needs that require special attention in order to reach its deserved level of importance in today's research and other activities.Source: GL18 - Eighteenth International Conference on Grey Literature: Leveraging Diversity in Grey Literature., pp. 97–108, New York, USA, 28-29 November 2016

A terminological "journey" in the Grey Literature domain
Bartolini R., Pardelli G., Goggi S., Giannini S., Biagioni S.
"It is by means of terms that the expert usually transfer their knowledge and again through terms scientific communication reaches the highest effectiveness. Therefore we can assert that terminology - in the sense of a set of representative and domain-specific units - is necessary for representing and connecting specialized fields as well as any attempt to represent and/or transfer scientific knowledge requires, more or less extensively, the use of terminology." (Cabré, 2000). "When we read the articles or papers of a particular domain, we can recognize some lexical items in the texts as technical terms. In a domain where new knowledge is generated, new terms are constantly created to fulfill the needs of the domain, while others become obsolete. In addition, existing terms may undergo changes of meaning..." (Kageura K., 1998/1999). Specialized lexicons are made up of the terms which are specific to each field of knowledge, «a subset which is distinct but not separated from the common language» (Cassese, 1992): it is usually difficult to extract the relevant domain-specific terminology, meaning to discern terms which belong to a specialized glossary from those belonging to the common dictionary. The interest in the study of terminology and the "truth" contained in the above definitions has led us to make a "journey" in the Grey Literature (GL) domain in order to offer an overall vision on the terms used and the links between them. Within this scenario, the work analyzes a corpus constituted of the entire amount of full research papers published in the GL conference series over a time-span of more than one decade (2003-2014) with the aim of creating a terminological map of relevant words in the various GL research topics.
