Frank C. Manista presents the Jisc's OA services
Workshop title: Open Science Monitor
Workshop overview:
Which are the measurable components of Open Science? How do we build a trustworthy, global open science monitor? This workshop will discuss a potential framework to measure Open Science, including the path from the publishing of an open policy (registries of policies and how these are represented or machine read), to the use of open methodologies, and the opening up of research results, their recording and measurement.
DAY 2 - PARALLEL SESSION 5
3. Jisc, Open Access, and Important IDs
»Jisc works with Crossref to get DOIs automatically into services
such as Jisc Monitor and KB+
»The UK ORCID consortium now has over 80 participating
institutions
› Ensuring persistent IDs is key to supporting OA
› Underscores the need for automation for reliability across the
board

4. The Sherpa Services
»Sherpa/Romeo:
› Very widely used internationally
› The default OA policy registry, moving to a broader base of
support and governance
› Engaged with publishers to move to machine-readable policies
08/09/2017 Jisc OA Services: Monitor Local & Monitor UK 4
5. The Sherpa Services
»Sherpa/Juliet:
› International registry of funder OA and data policies
› Worked in association with PASTEUR4OA project to develop
machine-readable schema for OA policies
– While this is a good schema, it may be too complicated to be widely taken
up, but can be the basis for a light version
08/09/2017 Jisc OA Services: Monitor Local & Monitor UK 5
6. The Sherpa Services
»Sherpa/FACT & REF:
› Decision-support tools directed at researchers
› Based on policy registries in RoMEO and Juliet which
demonstrate the viability of this approach
› Anecdotal experience is that the logic of these tools can be quite
complicated, and the advice they give needs to be checked for
reliability, but on recent inspection, FACT was 95% accurate

7. Jisc Monitor Services
»Monitor Services consists of two distinct but connected products
› Monitor Local
› Monitor UK
»Primary aim to help institutions with the processing of APCs and to
represent national level data
»Monitor Local allows institutions to record and monitor local APC
data
»Monitor UK aggregates the data collected in Monitor Local to
provide a national level view of APC data
08/09/2017 Jisc OA Services: Monitor Local & Monitor UK 7
8. Jisc Monitor Services
»Successful within the UK, with 18 early adopters and continued
interest
»Strong involvement in development from UK HEIs, and strong
interest from other countries

9. Publications Router – overview
What it’s for:
»Automatically populates open repositories with journal
articles from publishers and other providers
»Alerts institutions to their researchers’ papers by
supplying metadata and often the full text
»Can pass on licensing and embargo information
(when supplied by the provider)
»Saves institutions time and money
10. Publications Router – current status
» Service launched August 2016
» Now delivering live notifications
› from 7 content providers
› to 17 institutional repositories
(Eprints) – many more on way
» Can pass on licensing and embargo
information
» Thousands of notifications already
delivered to HEIs’ repositories
Progress so far
» Now adding open manuscripts of
subscription content (started with
Gold OA articles)
» DSpace to be added very soon
» Working to add other institution
platforms (RIMS & CRISs)
» Working to add further publishers
Where it’s headed
18/7/17 Jisc Publications Router - OA community event, Birmingham
12. IRUS-UK
»Based on and uses international standards
»Almost universal coverage in UK
»Significant international interest
› Australia and New Zealand
› The United States
› Europe in connection with OpenAIRE
08/09/2017 Jisc OA Services: Monitor Local & Monitor UK 12
13. IRUS4Data
»This project will experiment with a service offering data download
metrics and examine other sources of use indicators
»It aims to investigate the feasibility and utility of various forms of
usage statistics concerning research data.
»It has two key work packages:
› The development of a pilot service (building on the existing Jisc
IRUS-UK service) for COUNTER-compliant data download metrics
› The investigation of other potential data metrics including data
citations and data altmetrics
08/09/2017 Jisc OA Services: Monitor Local & Monitor UK 13
14. Research Data
» National infrastructure from Jisc, covering repository,
preservation, reporting, and discovery
»Reporting functionality:
–Covers data storage, availability and use
–Will interoperate with DataCite (identifiers again) and
Sherpa/Juliet for data policies
–Will also interoperate with national and international research
einfrastructures
–Dashboards will be available for users
08/09/2017 Jisc OA Services: Monitor Local & Monitor UK 14
15. Equipment.Data
»Open sharing of facilities and equipment is increasingly
part of open science internationally.
08/09/2017 Jisc OA Services: Monitor Local & Monitor UK 15
16. Standards
»The UK is engaged with RDA and CODATA where
relevant on these issues, to ensure solutions are based on
international standards and best practice where available
»Jisc is participating with the EOSC pilot as it will
operate as a framework for the federation,
including nationally-based services where those
are established and/or make most sense
08/09/2017 Jisc OA Services: Monitor Local & Monitor UK 16
17. With OpenAIRE
»Jisc is the UK’s National Open Access Desk (NOAD) and
work on multiple work packages for OpenAIRE2020, as
well as engage on the general assembly
»We also participate with OpenAIRE Connect
»OpenAIRE Advance starts in January 2018

Editor's Notes
Here’s an overview or how it works.
The publishers provide the Router with a notification of a “publication event” – for example upon an article’s acceptance for publication, or at publication itself.
Ideally, we’d like an initial notification at acceptance stage, followed by a second upon publication to update the metadata – but in practice the first of those is proving challenging for publishers. More on that in a moment.
The Router matches that event to the correct institution(s), based on the affiliations of the authors, and delivers it to them straight into the institutions’ systems – currently their Eprints repositories, but soon also DSpace – and hopefully before long the full range of commonly used CRISs/ RIMS.
The delivery method and format can be tailored to the destination system: … For EPrints, the Router sends the feeds out using the SWORD2 protocol – that’s also the way we’ll do it for DSpace. For CRISs etc, it seems likely they will pull the feeds down from Router’s native API – we’ve discussed that with the respective vendors, and would like to follow that through.
