The Needs of stakeholders in the RDM process - the role of LEARNLEARN Project
Presentation at 3rd LEARN workshop on Research Data Management, “Make research data management policies work”
Helsinki, 28 June 2016, by Martin Moyle/Paul Ayris, UCL Library Services
The European Commission promotes open access to publications and research data from publicly funded research. It has implemented open access policies in FP7 and will do so more comprehensively in Horizon 2020. The Commission also encourages member states to develop their own open access policies and coordinates these efforts. Both green and gold open access are supported, with allowed embargoes of 6-12 months. While open access to publications will be mandatory in Horizon 2020, open access to research data will initially be piloted on a voluntary basis.
OpenAIRE presentation in Sarajevo, May 2010OpenAIRE
OpenAIRE is a European project that aims to provide an electronic infrastructure and support mechanisms for identifying, depositing, accessing, and monitoring scientific publications and data funded by the European Union's FP7 and ERC programs. It builds on previous projects like DRIVER and DRIVERII that established a pan-European repository network. OpenAIRE will deliver a portal and repository system to make EU-funded research outputs openly accessible worldwide in line with the EU's open access policies.
The document discusses OpenAIRE, an open access infrastructure for research in Europe. It provides an overview of OpenAIRE, highlighting its participatory approach involving both a human network and technical infrastructure. OpenAIRE implements the open access policies of the European Commission for FP7 and Horizon 2020 projects. It is moving from a publication infrastructure to a more comprehensive infrastructure that covers all types of scientific outputs, including datasets and projects. Open access is growing in southern European countries, with OpenAIRE supporting the discovery, sharing, and reuse of open access research results across Europe.
This document discusses the evolving role of institutional repositories (IRs) in light of increasing open access mandates from research funders. It provides a brief history of IRs and outlines challenges they currently face in supporting new compliance requirements. Specifically, IRs were not designed to track publications, link them to funded projects, or manage related metadata and processes. While some institutions have separate systems like a CRIS that can fulfill more of these functions, many rely solely on their IR. The document explores potential solutions on the horizon, like the JISC Monitor project and IRUS usage statistics service, that could help institutions manage open access activities and reporting. Overall, mandates are pushing IRs in new directions beyond their original open access goals
This presentation gives an overview of European Commission policies and initiatives aiming to promote open access to scientific information in the European Research Area (ERA).

9. The UK and the EU
UK Government position on FP9 (Horizon Europe) released very
recently*. UK aspires to maintain a very close relationship with EU
research. FP9:
• A continued focus on excellence is essential
• Open to theWorld
• A mission-oriented approach could be useful
• Should reduce the administrative burden
• Should tackle Europe’s innovation gap

10. The UK and the EU
If the UK is going to remain close to EU
research, then we will want to build on the
excellent relations we have with European
research infrastructure, and we believe that
our EU partners want that too.

11. European Open Science Cloud
.
A federated globally accessible environment where researchers,
innovators, companies and citizens can publish, find and re-use each
other´s data and tools for research, innovation and educational purposes.
Imagine that this all operates under well defined and trusted conditions,
supported by a sustainable and just value for money model.
This is the environment that must be fostered in Europe and beyond to
ensure that European research and innovation is able to contribute fully to
knowledge creation, meet global challenges and fuel economic prosperity
in Europe.
This we believe encapsulates the concept of the European Open Science
Cloud (EOSC), and indeed such a federated European endeavour might
be expressed as the European contribution to a global
research data commons

Editor's Notes
Me – what I do. What I used to do
Take a little step back. Big picture
Think about open access,such a great thing, so many benefits!
But we’ll busy people. And current demands from researchers, from university management, and the intensive work to support mandates, policy and financial processes can distract us from this.
Why am I saying this regarding international?
Researchers have always worked internationally.
- while needing local support.
Using local services with different standards, different functionality, different ownership. Creates barriers.
Tools that accommodate different laws, policies, environment (funders, support), authentication. Not restricted to those who are licensed to use them
Eg tdm platform. – all need access and it needs to connect to the data sources, stores, compute.
I was at a roundtable at CNI (US based member org) – on repository strategies, one of the things that struck me as all said how critical the institutional repository was. A stable place for the scholarly record to be maintained, a natural habour. Even if other things come and go.
There is a global connected web of services that can support scholarship. This doesn’t really represent the world today – but the world we would like to see in the future.
repositories, are probably the key component (next slide, then back). Universities tend to stick around (less so in the future?)- the ideal place to store the scholarly record.
But being connected to a wider world can add so much value. And save money.
Publication router – which we heard about earlier today – is an example of this.
What if metadata could be shared by all these platforms and services,
and where it is added, and where it is used are independent.
And connections made between outputs of all types
Open Science – Open Scholarship – Open Research

FAIR.
Data,
Active data – working together, openly,
GEANT: Provides a high-speed network that pushes the boundaries of networking technology whilst delivering a cost-effective, pan-European infrastructure. Large research projects rely on GÉANT for outstanding service availability and service quality. A separate ultra-high-speed internet, just for research and education. It also offers a wide range of services including IP and dedicated circuits, testbeds and virtualised resources, authentication and roaming, monitoring and troubleshooting, advisory and support services, such as Jisc’s Eduroam to Europe.
EGI: advanced computing for research; federated cloud providers and data centres.The services can be requested by everyone involved in academic research and businesses via the EGI Marketplace.
EUDAT: Research Data Services, Expertise & Technology Solutions; also provides training and works with the EOSC
EOSC: a very ambitious undertaking by the EU and partners to promote open science. It connects with multiple projects, such as EUDAT and OpenAIRE Advance.
Headline points: ❑ Build on existing infrastructure and expertise ❑ Devise Rules of Engagement ❑ EU contribution to FAIR data and Open Science ❑ Build links to regional Cloud(s) around the globe ❑ Develop expertise ❑Half a million ‘core data scientists’ in Europe ❑5% of total research spend should be on data stewardship
OpenAIRE Advance: continuing the work on OpenAIRE2020, which helped with policy compliance for Horizon2020 projects, in addition to creating a metrics portal, a funders’ dashboard, and a range of services which promote Open Science throughout the world.
OpenAIRE Connect: working on some governance issues, as well as building a “catch all broker” connecting publishers’ content, CRISes, and academic outputs, similar in some ways to Jisc’s Publications Router.
Key high level framework/vision to enable open science internationally
The 'European Open Science Cloud' aims to create a trusted environment for hosting and processing research data to support EU science in its global leading role.
EOSC - a common set of light-touch standards that national governments and systems can adhere to enable interoperable data-intensive science across Europe.

Knowledge Exchange’s benefits for Jisc include:-it offers us a quick and effective way to check our approaches with peer organisations;
-it allows us to undertake work on some thorny issues that it would be hard to do on our own;
-it raises our know how and knowledge in informing our solutions and work with our members;
it raises our profile within Europe and also demonstrates to Jisc customers that we are engaging in Europe (this is an issue that many senior managers in UK universities raise with us);
it offers a way for more efficient interactions with some international initiatives (for example the international Research Data Alliance (RDA) has engaged KE);
it supports our research enablement and associated impact areas.
Staying connected in Europe.
Probably key takeway here is good reports,
RDM, Preprints, economy of open scholarship, APCs, monographs.
