A taxonomy of tools and approaches for FAIRification
Mangione D, Candela L, Castelli D
The FAIR principles have drawn a lot of attention since their publication in 2016. A broad range of stakeholders is confronting the implementation of these guiding principles in diverse contexts.This paper identifies and discusses the tools and approaches emerging from stakeholders' experiences adopting the FAIR principles in practice. In particular, 225 open access grey literature papers (namely, deliverables, milestones and data management plans) on FAIRification have been scrutinised to infer tools and approaches in use. The wealth of emerging tools (477) has been carefully analysed and organised into a comprehensive map highlighting the significant classes of instruments supporting FAIRification. A critical discussion on this collection of tools and approaches and the FAIRification completes the paper.Project(s): Blue Cloud via OpenAIRE, EOSC-Pillar via OpenAIRE, DESIRA via OpenAIRE, SoBigData-PlusPlus via OpenAIRE

Research workflows and Open Science
Candela L, Castelli D, Mangione D
The open science paradigm is increasingly praised and encouraged for improving efficiency through deduplication of efforts and for ultimately accelerating scientific discoveries. Such shift towards a collaborative and inclusive scientific process implies an alteration of the traditional research workflows to include the different dimensions that characterise the new paradigm, from open access to new assessment metrics. This systematic study analyses the open science research workflows proposed so far, highlighting (i) their distribution over time, (ii) the various means and approaches used for communicating them, (iii) the terminology used for denominating them, and (iv) the scientific domains where workflows were proposed. Moreover, the workflows were analysed and compared concerning a set of open science aspects deriving from the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. Overall, a total of 40 relevant studies were identified and analysed, corresponding to 33 unique workflows. The findings highlight (a) the limited effort spent by the research community to propose and communicate workflows oriented to match open science requirements, and (b) the different nuances of the meaning and understanding of open science and the resulting gap between its theoretical aspects and its practical application to the research processes.DOI: 10.32079/isti-tr-2022/026

Comparison of federated solutions for distributed infrastructures
Candela L, Castelli D, Mangione D
Federations are an effective mechanism for jointly contributing to a service offering, integrating resources provided by the different federation members. As the open science and the open innovation paradigms are increasingly pursued at the European level, the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) has been envisaged as a federation of systems for creating a solution fully supporting the research data life cycle across borders and disciplines. This study analyses the federation approaches and solutions adopted by 11 of the major European federated research infrastructures (CLARIN, D4Science, EGI, ELIXIR, ENVRI, EPOS, Gaia-X, GEANT, GEOSS, OpenAIRE and PaNOSC) selected for their representativity following their service offering type and thematic area of expertise. A classification of federated and federating services is proposed in order to highlight the action areas that are to be considered when pursuing the creation of a federated infrastructure with the objective of enabling open science and open innovation.DOI: 10.32079/isti-tr-2022/024

Research infrastructures: an Open Science quandary
Candela L, Castelli D, Mangione D
Open science is a disruptive phenomenon characterised by multiple dimensions encompassing the whole research workflow. The magnitude of the changes entailed by the open science paradigm on the research processes requires the research infrastructures to adapt for addressing the technological needs not only of researchers, but of all the stakeholders involved. This study analyses the open science aspects affecting the research workflow and proposes an open science workflow that is then used as a model for examining how the service offering of 11 of the major European research infrastructures (CLARIN, D4Science, EGI, ELIXIR, ENVRI, EPOS, Gaia-X, GEANT, GEOSS, OpenAIRE and PaNOSC) relates to the open science paradigm. In light of the different aspects that characterise open science, a comparative analysis of the 11 service offering is presented and the gaps highlighted.DOI: 10.32079/isti-tr-2022/025

The FAIR Assessment Conundrum: reflections on tools and metrics
Candela L., Mangione D., Pavone G.
Several tools for assessing FAIRness have been developed. Although their purpose is common, they use different assessment techniques, they are designed to work with diverse research products, and they are applied in specific scientific disciplines. It is thus inevitable that they perform the assessment using different metrics. This paper provides an overview of the actual FAIR assessment tools and metrics landscape to highlight the challenges characterising this task. In particular, 20 relevant FAIR assessment tools and 1180 relevant metrics were identified and analysed concerning (i) the tool’s distinguishing aspects and their trends, (ii) the gaps between the metric intents and the FAIR principles, (iii) the discrepancies between the declared intent of the metrics and the actual aspects assessed, including the most recurring issues, (iv) the technologies used or mentioned the most in the assessment metrics. The findings highlight (a) the distinguishing characteristics of the tools and the emergence of trends over time concerning those characteristics, (b) the identification of gaps at both metric and tool levels, (c) discrepancies observed in 345 metrics between their declared intent and the actual aspects assessed, pointing at several recurring issues, and (d) the variety in the technology used for the assessments, the majority of which can be ascribed to linked data solutions. This work also highlights some open issues that FAIR assessment still needs to address.Source: DATA SCIENCE JOURNAL, vol. 23

An overview of Open Science in Italy
Bardi A., Candela L., Mangione D., Pavone G.
Open Science is a phenomenon pervading scientific practices to make scientific research and its outputs more accessible, transparent, and collaborative. It is gaining momentum globally, and various initiatives were and are underway to promote it. However, implementation varies across disciplines, regions, and institutions. This paper overviews the current state of open science implementation in Italy by analysing the established policies, the scientific production, and the available services documented by several publicly available information systems.Source: CEUR WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS, vol. 3643, pp. 126-139.
