Reimbursement of publication
costs
In the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), 'gold'
Open Access fees (i.e. 'Open Access publishing' and
'author pays' fees) are eligible for reimbursement
('paid' Open Access), annex II, article II.16.4 'other
activities'.
“For other activities not covered by paragraphs 1 and
2, inter alia, management activities, training,
coordination, networking and dissemination
(including publications), the contribution may reach a
maximum of 100% of the total eligible costs.”

an electronic copy of the
published version or the
final manuscript accepted
for publication of a scientific
publication relating to
foreground published before
or after the final report in an
institutional or subject-
based repository at the
moment of publication.“

ERC Scientific Council Guidelines for
Open Access
http://erc.europa.eu/pdf/ScC_Guidelines_Open
_Access_revised_Dec07_FINAL.pdf

17 December 2007
“The ERC requires that all peer-reviewed publications
from ERC-funded research projects be deposited on
publication into an appropriate research repository
where available, such as PubMed Central, ArXiv or an
institutional repository, and subsequently made Open
Access within 6 months of publication.”
“The ERC considers essential that primary data - which
in the life sciences for example could comprise data
such as nucleotide/protein sequences,
macromolecular atomic coordinates and anonymized
epidemiological data are deposited to the relevant
databases as soon as possible, preferably immediately
after publication and in any case not later than 6
months after the date of publication.”

How to comply?

Support needed to enable projects /
researchers to comply
=> OpenAIRE

OpenAIRE
Open Access Infrastructure for Research in
Europe
http://www.openaire.eu

Main Goals
Deliver “an electronic infrastructure and supporting
mechanisms for the identification, deposition, access,
and monitoring of FP7 and ERC funded articles”
Additionally, offer “a special repository for articles
that can be stored neither in institutional nor in
subject-based/thematic repositories”.
All deposited articles will be visible and freely
accessible worldwide through a new portal to the
products of EU-funded research, built as part of this
project.

Present and future statistics
OpenAIRE provides tools for EC to
– identify EC funded research output
(publication access and stats)
– to explore ways to define metrics to measure
research impact.
Statistics on the level of
– Publications
– Repositories
– FP7

Research Output for Funding Input

Research Production & Impact
Quantitative measurements → Qualitative
metrics
First: get the numbers
– Standards
– Tools
Then: do the math
– Metrics

Quantitative Measurements
Different types of statistics to evaluate research output
• project, programme, scientific area
• timelines, country, institution → coming soon

Quantitative Measurements
Putting the foundations
Combine different methodologies and define
explorative performance indicators
– Bibliometrics
– Webometrics
– Usage data
