Open Research Information: an ethical necessity. OpenAIRE's role in advancing Open Science
Pavone G., Baglioni M., Bardi A., Amodeo S.
Research integrity demands transparency not only in scientific outputs but also in the metadata that describes them. This principle requires that research information is collected through transparent methods and remains open and available for verification, enabling evidence-based monitoring and public decision-making. OpenAIRE maintains a “scholarly knowledge graph” of interconnected research metadata and provides a catalogue of services that support Open Science by facilitating knowledge discovery and research assessment.Project(s): SciLake via OpenAIRE

Towards the interoperability of scholarly repository registries
Baglioni M., Pavone G., Mannocci A., Manghi P.
The enactment of Open Science relies on scholarly repositories that make research products findable and accessible, while scholarly repository registries maintain authoritative metadata and persistent identifiers (PIDs) to help researchers and infrastructure providers discover and access needed repositories. However, the proliferation of repositories targeting different research products (e.g., publications, data, and software) or serving specific disciplines has led to the creation of multiple registries whose scope is not mutually exclusive. Such a fragmented landscape poses significant concerns regarding authoritativeness, disambiguation, and coverage for scholarly communication service and infrastructure providers who consume content from these registries. These providers must either limit their focus to a single registry or manage complex data fusion strategies to integrate diverse repository profiles from various sources. While favouring the existence of a plurality of registries, this paper advocates for their interoperability, which is essential to eliminate the aforementioned barriers and enable their full, unambiguous utilisation. We analyse the data models of four prominent registries—FAIRsharing, re3data, OpenDOAR, and ROAR—and classify their properties and overlap. We provide a crosswalk between their data models and suggest a common data model shared across the examined registries to pave the way toward interoperability. As a means of validation, we include a coverage evaluation of the proposed data model.The paper adopts a pragmatic approach towards scholarly registry interoperability and suggests a common metadata model to foster the exchange of information across these platforms. The purpose of the paper is to serve as a cornerstone, initiating and engaging the community in discussions surrounding the interoperability of scholarly repository registries.Source: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON DIGITAL LIBRARIES, vol. 26 (issue 1)

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

Alzi la mano chi sa cos’è un pre-print, e cosa un post-print. E un repository? Se le sapete tutte, provate con: Article Processing Charges e Green Open Access. L’editoria scientifica ha le sue peculiarità, sia per quanto riguarda la sua specifica letteratura, sia per i modelli che ne supportano la diffusione. Questo approfondimento ne presenta i termini fondamentali, tenendo in considerazione le questioni etiche e le distorsioni prodotte da un sistema in cui “o pubblichi o muori”.DOI: 10.32079/isti-tr-2024/007

Il ruolo di OPENAIRE nel promuovere la scienza aperta
Pavone G., Baglioni M., Bardi A., Amodeo S.
L’integrità nella ricerca necessita di trasparenza non solo nel lavoro scientifico, ma anche nei metadati che ne descrivono i risultati. Per questo si parla di “Open Research Information” in riferimento all’insieme delle informazioni aperte sulla ricerca, tra cui i metadati che descrivono i vari prodotti scientifici, i dati bibliografici, le informazioni su finanziamenti, organizzazioni, affiliazioni e così via. Queste informazioni devono essere raccolte con metodi trasparenti, aperte e disponibili per la verifica, consentendo un monitoraggio basato su evidenze e decisioni pubbliche informate. OpenAIRE mantiene un “grafo della conoscenza scientifica”1 composto di metadati di ricerca interconnessi e fornisce un catalogo di servizi a supporto della Open Science2, facilitando ad esempio l’esplorazione dei contenuti scientifici e processi di valutazione basati su dati trasparenti.Source: BIOETICA, pp. 397-400

A primer on open science-driven repository platforms
Bardi A, Manghi P, Mannocci A, Ottonello E, Pavone G
Following Open Science mandates, institutions and communities increasingly demand repositories with native support for publishing scientific literature together with research data, software, and other research products. Such repositories may be thematic or general-purpose and are deeply integrated with the scholarly communication ecosystem to ensure versioning, persistent identifiers, data curation, usage stats, and so on. Identifying the most suitable off-the-shelf repository platform is often a non-trivial task as the choice depends on functional requirements, programming and technical skills, and infrastructure resources. This work analyses four state-of-the-art Open Source repository platforms, namely Dryad, Dataverse, DSpace, and InvenioRDM, from both a functional and a software perspective. This work intends to provide an overview serving as a primer for choosing repository platform solutions in different application scenarios. Moreover, this paper highlights how these platforms reacted to some key Open Science demands, moving away from the original and old-fashioned concept of a repository serving as a static container of files and metadata.DOI: 10.1007/978-3-031-39141-5_19

(Semi)automated disambiguation of scholarly repositories
Baglioni M, Mannocci A, Pavone G, De Bonis M, Manghi P
The full exploitation of scholarly repositories is pivotal in modern Open Science, and scholarly repository registries are kingpins in enabling researchers and research infrastructures to list and search for suitable repositories. However, since multiple registries exist, repository managers are keen on registering multiple times the repositories they manage to maximise their traction and visibility across different research communities, disciplines, and applications. These multiple registrations ultimately lead to information fragmentation and redundancy on the one hand and, on the other, force registries' users to juggle multiple registries, profiles and identifiers describing the same repository. Such problems are known to registries, which claim equivalence between repository profiles whenever possible by cross-referencing their identifiers across different registries. However, as we will see, this "claim set" is far from complete and, therefore, many replicas slip under the radar, possibly creating problems downstream. In this work, we combine such claims to create duplicate sets and extend them with the results of an automated clustering algorithm run over repository metadata descriptions. Then we manually validate our results to produce an "as accurate as possible" de-duplicated dataset of scholarly repositories.Source: CEUR WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS, pp. 47-59. Bari, Italy, 23-24/02/2023

OpenAIRE, comunità e servizi per praticare la scienza aperta
Pavone G, Atzori C, Baglioni M, Bardi A, Manghi P, Castelli D
Per praticare la ricerca secondo i principi dell'Open Science sono al contempo necessarie tecnologie - con infrastrutture che consentano e facilitino la collaborazione e lo scambio massivo di informazioni su scala internazionale - e competenze che permettano di massimizzarne uso e risultati. In altre parole occorrono servizi, scambio di competenze e formazione. Su queste direttrici si concentra il lavoro di OpenAIRE (Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe), l'infrastruttura europea per la Scienza Aperta che offre servizi tecnologici e una rete europea di scambio e sinergia per favorire la scienza aperta. Avviata come progetto europeo nel 2009 per il monitoraggio dell'Open Access, nel corso degli anni l'iniziativa è stata rifinanziata e il suo ambito di interesse esteso a tutte le componenti dell'Open Science. Nel 2018 si è costituita come organizzazione senza scopo di lucro per garantire una struttura permanente a supporto delle politiche nazionali ed europee per l'Open Science. Il network di OpenAIRE conta oltre 40 membri tra centri di ricerca, università, fondazioni ed enti gestori di servizi distribuiti in tutta Europa. Come comunità di pratica, OpenAIRE ha la missione di costituire e gestire un'infrastruttura che supporti una comunicazione scientifica aperta e sostenibile, fornendo i servizi, le risorse e il coordinamento di iniziative ed esperti necessari per implementare un ambiente comune europeo per la scienza aperta. Per realizzare questa visione, OpenAIRE offre servizi tecnologici, di training e di supporto, coprendo l'intero ciclo di vita della ricerca (la lista completa dei servizi è consultabile su catalogue.openaire.eu). I servizi tecnologici spaziano dalla gestione dei dati al discovery, dalla gestione di riviste al monitoraggio dei risultati della ricerca e dell'adozione di pratiche Open Science. Inoltre la rete internazionale dei NOAD (National Open Access Desk: openaire.eu/contact-noads) promuove la scienza aperta fornendo assistenza e formazione a vari livelli. L'obiettivo è abilitare i vari attori coinvolti nell'attività scientifica nelle pratiche dell'open science e dell'open access organizzando workshop nazionali e training dedicati. I NOADs inoltre forniscono consulenza esperta sulle infrastrutture che supportano i flussi di lavoro per la scienza aperta, nonché per la definizione di politiche per la sua implementazione, quali stesura e aggiornamento di policies istituzionali, individuazione degli obblighi normativi, di adempimenti relativi ai finanziamenti o di strumenti per il Data Management Plan (DMP). Il CNR, in particolare il suo istituto ISTI, in qualità di centro di sviluppo e innovazione tecnologica dell'infrastruttura e di gestore del NOAD Italiano, opera in accordo con la missione di OpenAIRE contribuendo in modo significativo alle sue attività e agli organismi di governo. L'ente offre dunque le sue competenze per garantire il mantenimento, l'operatività e l'innovazione dell'infrastruttura partecipando in iniziative e progetti che contribuiscono alla sostenibilità e all'innovazione dei servizi di questa infrastruttura. Come NOAD, offre formazione e supporto per affrontare problematiche quali la definizione di DMP, il rispetto dei principi "FAIR" per la gestione dei dati, e la stesura di politiche istituzionali. Le attività sono portate avanti in collaborazione con i NOAD in altri paesi europei in modo da massimizzare l'integrazione di soluzioni e politiche a livello europeo.

Etica nella pubblicazione scientifica: Open Access e prevenzione dell'editoria predatoria
Pavone G, Zagarella Rm, Adamo G
"Se ho potuto vedere lontano, è stando sulle spalle di giganti", scriveva Isaac Newton nel 1675 in una lettera a Robert Hooke. La conoscenza scientifica necessita di scambio, comunicazione e collaborazione. Come condividono gli scienziati i risultati delle loro ricerche nel mondo attuale e con le tecnologie odierne? L'Open Access è un modello di comunicazione scientifica che ha lo scopo di superare ostacoli ereditati dal passato, e che si trova a fronteggiare sfide legate a tecnologie e processi nuovi. Esistono buone prassi consolidate ma anche importanti rischi in termini di etica della ricerca, prodotti da distorsioni del sistema della ricerca. Tra questi rischi, in particolare, vi è il fenomeno della cosiddetta "editoria predatoria" che sfrutta il modello Open Access a scopo di lucro. Questo il tema dell workshop Etica nella pubblicazione scientifica: Open Access e prevenzione dell'editoria predatoria, tenuto giovedì 7 dicembre 2023 a Roma, in occasione dell'evemto di rilevanza nazionale "Più Libri Più Liberi, fiera della piccola e media editoria. Il workshop è stato diviso in due parti, una sull'Open Access e una sull'editoria predatoria, in entrambi i casi seguendo il tema di Più Libri Più Liberi per il 2023: il gioco Nomi Cose Città Animali Fiori Piante.

OpenOrgs: the OpenAIRE tool for bridging registries of research organizations
Atzori C., Pavone G., Končić I, Macan B.
Building a connected open scholarly communication system requires unambiguously identifying research-related entities. It is not a simple task: for example, the same organization can have a range of names (eg. legal name, a shortened version, an abbreviation, in national language or in English), as well as varied metadata in other sources. Additionally, persistent IDs might not be helpful when several data sources (eg. ROR, ISNI, EC PIC) utilize various PID schemas to identify organizations. Due to this ambiguity, there are efficiency issues with information sharing, discoverability of research outputs, keeping track of activities, and ultimately building an integrated open scholarly communication system and OS services (Artini et al., 2022).A new tool called OpenOrgs was developed to address this old issue: the disambiguation of organizations engaged in the research process (Pavone, 2021) as well as the parentchild relationships between departments and organizations. OpenOrgs tackles the ambiguity in the data that OpenAIRE collects from several research organization registries (eg. ROR), as well as other sources including institutional repositories, scientific journals, and CRIS systems, and aggregates them to populate the OpenAIRE Graph (OpenAIRE Graph, n.d.). To make up for the lack of information and increase the organization's discoverability and recognition, OpenOrgs combines automated processes with human curation. Numerous data sources are used to gather and merge information on organizations. Their metadata are automatically compared and combined, then these suggested identities are manually checked by data curators assigned at a national or multi-national level.These two steps work as follows:1. The deduplication algorithm (De Bonis, 2022) suggests a similarity between organizations that emerge in various sources by comparing their metadata (eg. the organization name, URL, country).2. The automatic procedure is then verified by a manual curation process. By indicating whether two or more entities pertain to the same organization or not, data curators can clear up any ambiguity surrounding duplicates detected using the automated approach. Furthermore, they can themselves suggest new duplicates unidentified by the algorithm and make up for the information shortage by editing metadata description of the organization, compensating the lack of information from sources and enhancing the organization records' completeness and discoverability, for example by adding a persistent identifier, an alternative name (OpenAIRE, 2023), or establishing parent- child relationships (eg. university and departments). As of now, there are more than 70 registered data curators from over 40 countries, with more than 100,000 curated organizations.OpenOrgs offers a number of advantages for researchers, Research Performing Organizations (RPOs), Research Funding Organizations (RFOs), and all other stakeholders of Open Science services. It improves the findability of digital objects for academics and provides RPOs with a consistent showcase of the overall scientific production. It offers RFOs consistent data on the impact of resources. Finally, OpenOrgs offers functional and up-to-date services to all parties involved in Open Science.In the OpenAIRE ecosystem, OpenOrgs plays an important role. For example, OpenAIRE Explore displays the curated metadata from OpenOrgs, giving researchers quick and easy access to details about the organizations involved in the research process (OpenAIRE EXPLORE, n.d.). These data are also used by the OpenAIRE Monitor service, which tracks and monitors research activities and Open Science trends of organizations (OpenAIRE MONITOR, n.d.). This integration improves these organizations’ discoverability and recognition even more, fostering a more open and cooperative research environment. Therefore, rather than just a tool, OpenOrgs is a game-changer for the research community, and we believe it will contribute positively to build and maintain an integrated open scholarly communication system in the years to come.DOI: 10.15291/pubmet.4281

Open Science repository platforms
Manghi P, Artini M, La Bruzzo S, Ottonello E, Pavone G
Institutional and thematic repositories today play a key role in scholarly communication and more broadly in scientific workflows. Many institutions and communities have set the ambitious goal of providing an open access repository for their community of users. However, given the amount of expectations from their users, choosing the right solution is often a non-trivial choice. Some platforms may be served out-of-the-box, to be put in operation after straightforward configurations, but are in general less customizable to adhere to specific functional, non-functional, or contextual needs. Other platforms may be instead extremely customizable and flexible but require skilled personnel for their adaptation and deployment. This report performs an analysis of existing state-of-the-art Open Source repository solutions from the functional, operational, and software perspectives. As a result of the analysis, it will factor out the pros and cons of such solutions and identify typical scenarios of adoption.DOI: 10.32079/isti-tr-2022/009
