Enabling open access to books

CERN and the not-for-profit organization OAPEN Foundation are happy to announce a further expansion of their collaboration to jointly promote open access to books. Since 2021, CERN and the OAPEN Foundation have collaborated to disseminate books that are made available in open access through SCOAP3 for Books, a collective open-access initiative hosted at CERN. Building on this successful track record and the aligned values and goals, OAPEN and CERN have now signed an expanded collaboration agreement whereby, from 2024 onwards, CERN will use its extensive technical infrastructure to directly host both the OAPEN Library and the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) in its Data Centre, alongside its other scholarly communication services such as INSPIREhep and Zenodo. This mutually beneficial arrangement will help increase the operational efficiency and reliability of OAPEN and DOAB as vital services for the research community spanning all scholarly disciplines. “For CERN, this further amplifies its existing efforts to support and promote open science,” says Alexander Kohls from the CERN Scientific Information Service. “Utilising the CERN infrastructure will significantly increase stability for researchers worldwide allowing free and open access to the more than 30,000 books hosted in the OAPEN Library. Moreover, leveraging this infrastructure across multiple initiatives and disciplines ensures efficiency.” Since the very beginning of both organisations, open research has been at the core of their respective missions. CERN has already successfully supported other communities in establishing or expanding open science principles and collaborates with organisations such as UNESCO, the European Commission, and NASA to further accelerate the global transition to open science. For more than a decade, OAPEN has operated three platforms dedicated to the dissemination and discovery of open-access, peer-reviewed books.

"As part of this partnership with @OpenAlex, the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research is committed to working closely with OpenAlex. In addition to making a financial contribution to the operation of OpenAlex, which is seen as a crucial open science infrastructure, France will play a key role in helping to improve OpenAlex’s general data, and to enrich data related to French research in particular, and beyond."

I love #Mastodon so much. Last night I posted an #introduction on a whim, just to say hello.

I expected to be ignored just like I have been so many times on #twitter (refuse to call the #birdsite "X", ugh).

I woke up to numerous #boost notifications and new followers. Wow.

A place to actually connect.

How wonderful.

Happy to meet you all, I am Jessa!

When your metadata upload fails because language = fra rather than fre... which I didn't even notice as français seems a legit reference to French...

Exploring National Infrastructures to Support Impact Analyses of Publicly Accessible Research: A Need for Trust, Transparency and Collaboration at Scale

Kemp, Jennifer; Watkinson, Charles; Drummond, Christina

dx.doi.org/10.7302/22166

"The concept behind @graspos is to build the European Federated Open Metrics Infrastructure in a decentralised way, where:

different types of data come together to create metrics;

tools and services are developed to improve EU or global infrastructures but are also shared with national or institutional monitoring platforms;

indicators and assessment protocols are developed, tested and shared.

A metrics infrastructure that by its nature supports research organisations and communities to design their own paths on how to include OS in their RRA protocols and that they select solutions that meet their needs and may apply them at their own controlled environment and own pace. The end result would be to bring a sense of openness and consistency in the metrics domain, which would also allow diversity in assessment and innovation in meta-research. "
