The document discusses ROAD, a free online database developed by the ISSN International Centre to help identify quality open access resources. ROAD contains information on over 13,500 online open access journals, academic repositories, monographic series, conference proceedings, and scholarly blogs identified by 89 ISSN National Centres worldwide. It aims to support open access and demonstrate new ways of searching and linking information from various sources using the ISSN as a key. ROAD provides faceted searching and links to partner indexing sources to help evaluate included resources. It also releases data as linked open data using schema.org types and FRBROO and PRESSOO ontologies.
ROAD: the ISSN as a matching key to aggregate quality, open access resources ISSN International Centre
ROAD, the Directory of scholarly Open Access Resources, provides a free access to the ISSN bibliographic records which describe scholarly resources in Open Access: journals, monographic series, conference proceedings, academic repositories and scholarly blogs. These records, created by the ISSN Network are enriched by information extracted from indexing and abstracting databases, directories (DOAJ, Latindex, The Keepers registry) and journals indicators (Scopus).

Open Science, Open Data: towards a new transparent and reproducible ecosystemLIBER Europe
Presented at the Preforma Open Source Workshop 8 April 2016
As a library membership organization, LIBER works on addressing Open Science barriers. Standardisation of file formats can really help in overcoming some of these barriers: it enables us to process and preserve data in a controlled way, it helps ensure that outputs are really open and accessible in the long term and it improves interoperability of new tools and services. Making sure data is stored in a controlled way and can be (re) used today and in the future is an important element in Open Science. We see this as not only a technical challenge but also a social one: awareness, trust and community building is needed in order to ensure uptake of these standards. Libraries therefore have a valuable role to play in the development of good research data management throughout all phases of the Open Data lifecycle.

ROAD: the Directory of OA Scholarly Resources to Promote Open Access WorldwideISSN International Centre
ROAD, the Directory of Open Access scholarly Resources, is a new service implemented by the ISSN International Centre. ROAD provides a free access to a selection of worldwide, multidisciplinary scholarly resources in open access that have been identified by the ISSN Network. This paper will present ROAD background, its innovative concept and how it is positioned in the open access ecosystem.
ROAD, the Directory of Open Access scholarly Resources, provides access to a multidisciplinary selection of OA resources worldwide. As a free subset of the ISSN Registry, the directory aggregates data from partners (indexing services, registries, journal indicators). The main features of the service and the role of the ISSN as a matching key will be presented.
Top Universities, Top LibrariesDo Research Services in Academic LibrariesCo...Llarina González Solar
University context is nowadays mostly characterized by the implementation of competitiveness and cost-effectiveness criteria. There are two main characteristics of the new management model: a new relevancy to the university funding and the predominance of the research criteria as excellence indicator. Evidence of the growing role of research in universities are the parameters to rank the excellence of higher education institutions, such as ARWU (Academic Ranking of World Universities) of the University of Shangai, SIR (SCImago Institutions Rankings) or the THE (Times Higher Education World University Rankings). The research orientation also imposes to the academic library, with the growing implementation of services to support research. Evidences are at last reports about trends in academic libraries by ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries), especially at the latest edition: The 2015 Environmental Scan of Academics Libraries. The international survey Bridging the Librarian- Faculty Gap in the Academic Library (2015) also emphasizes the greater impact and relevance of the academic library to research, stressing the perception of the library as essential in this process. This paper tries to establish a connection between excellent universities and the research oriented services by their libraries. Our research hypothesis is: the universities at the top of the rankings have libraries that provide excellent services to support research processes. Ten of the top universities at the ARWU and Times rankings are used as sample and their libraries services analyzed. As research method we used the observation of the selected libraries webpages, with a checklist where the most relevant services to support research processes are identified.
The project re3data.org–Registry of Research Data Repositories–has begun to index research data repositories in 2012 and offers researchers, funding organizations, libraries and publishers an overview of the heterogeneous research data repository landscape.

Libraries as Knowledge Infrastructure of the 21st century: the role of Libraries in the future of Research and Higher Education. A presentation by Dr. Paul Ayris (LIBER President) to the European Commission.
The ISSN International Centre and its Network launched the Directory of Open Access Scholarly Resources in 2013. ROAD is a free service that received a grant from the Communication and Information Sector of UNESCO at its inception. It is now included in the ISSN portal and it provides metadata related to 5 types of multidisciplinary, open access resources, i.e. journals, monographic series, scholarly blogs, academic repositories and conferences proceedings. In 2021, ROAD selection criteria were revised to tighten up inclusion in the service and to counter some improprieties. Beyond the issue of OA scholarly resources and their selection, this presentation is the opportunity to learn more about the ISSN Network and especially about ISSN Ireland which is hosted by the National Library of Ireland.
This NASIG session held May 19th, 2021 started with a discussion about the improvements made in the sixth version of the ISSN standard, published in October 2020, by comparing it with the previous version dated October 2017. Then, the speaker referred to statistics published by the ISSN International Center in its annual report and on its official website to identify trends in the production of serial publications. A presentation of the ISSN Portal and its services followed with a special focus on the JASPER project developed in collaboration with four partners. Finally, the ISSN International Center’s 2020-2024 strategy was detailed and a review of achievements since 2015 was provided.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, defines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They are a call for action by all countries to build a global partnership to end poverty, improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth. Among these goals, two are particularly relevant to JASPER, a joint project involving the Directory of Open Access Journals, Keepers Registry, CLOCKSS, Internet Archive and Public Knowledge Project. JASPER, standing for Journals preserved, aims at supplying various archiving options to non-APC OA journals that are at risk of vanishing from the web. JASPER is thus in line with SDG 11 that includes a specific action regarding the protection of world’s cultural (and scientific) heritage. JASPER is also in line with SDG that promotes international cooperation on and access to science, technology and innovation. The presentation is based on statistics from Keepers Registry and shows the extent of the task ahead to preserve the scientific record and hence scientific research itself.
The ISSN International Centre participated in CISPC 2021 webinar about Sustainable development goals and scholarly communications. This one-hour panel discussion’s goal was to find out why (and how) libraries, research bodies and publishers alike should embrace the UN’s sustainable development goals to benefit the global community.

Les services du Centre international de l'ISSN, une infrastructure pour la re...ISSN International Centre
Le réseau ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), qui rassemble 93 pays, est coordonné par le Centre international de l’ISSN, organisation intergouvernementale située à Paris et fondée par un traité signé entre l’UNESCO et la France.
Depuis plus de quarante-cinq ans, ce Centre est l’autorité d'enregistrement officiellement agréée pour la gestion et la mise en œuvre de la numérotation internationale normalisée des publications en série.
Le Centre international de l'ISSN et son réseau ont développé un ensemble d’outils et de services d'information pour tracer l'évolution des publications en série dans le monde, depuis leur publication jusqu’à leur conservation à long terme.
La présentation montre l’importance et la pertinence du réseau ISSN et de ses outils aujourd’hui.
The ISSN Register was created by UNESCO and France in the 1970s to index and identify analogue and digital serial publications, i.e. journals, newspapers, magazines, and later, websites and databases worldwide to foster scientific cooperation at a time of Cold War between the Western and Soviet blocs. The technology available at that time did not allow wide access to this database which was made available to Member States and subscribers. Despite the emergence of the internet and the world wide web and the web 2.0, this situation continued until 2013, when the ROAD database of open access scientific resources was made available on the web. This movement to free up ISSN data has accelerated under the impetus of a new management and thanks to the support of member countries, leading to the opening of the ISSN Portal in 2018. Today, the ISSN Portal offers a suite of services to libraries, publishers and the information industry that aims to trace as accurately as possible the trajectory of serial publications from their birth to their long-term preservation. This presentation is intended to provide an overview of the progress made since the opening of ROAD in 2013 and an outline of the 2024 strategy.

Editor's Notes
I will make a focus on the complementarities between ROAD and other partnering registries on OA continuing resources.
This is a service developed 2 years ago by the ISSN International Centre with the support of UNESCO specifically the Communication and Information Sector
As a free subset of the ISSN Register, it gives access for free to ISSN bibliographic records describing 13,500 OA scholarly resources worldwide
the Global OA Portal gives access to ROAD and vice versa.
GOAP provides a global overview of OA policies throughout the world, highlighting critical success factors, as well as key players, potential barriers and opportunities.
ROAD is within the framework of UNESCO’s objective of “Enabling Universal Access and Preservation of Information and Knowledge”
to facilitate the access to quality OA resources among the International ISSN Register, enabling the disctinction between several publications having the same title (an ISSN is assigned to one resource and only one)
to help assessing their editorial quality and their usage within the scholarly community, those resources being selected for their quality within partnering databases
to promote online publications and scholarly publishers
To demonstrate new ways of using ISSN crossing and linking data from various databases.
the whole content must be freely accessible, without any moving wall,
the content is mainly research papers dedicated mostly to researchers and scholars.
droit de lecture, de réutilisation, de lisibilité par les machines maximaux, selon les recommandations émises par les instances qui prônent l’accès ouvert :
guide How open is it? Lecture libre pour tous les articles dès leur publication (pas d’embargo) ; Droits de réutilisation et d’adaptation généreux (licence CC BY) ; les revues sont archivées par des tiers de confiance dès leur publication (archives commerciales ou institutionnelles) ; Le texte intégral de l’article, les métadonnées et les citations sont accessibles ; L’auteur dispose de ses droits d’auteur sans restriction
Guide How open is it? / SPARC – PLOS – OASPA https://www.plos.org/open-access/howopenisit/
Among the 5 types of resources represented, journals are most represented,
but since one year, we have been developing 4 other types, with an effort being made on academic repositories.
when looking at the breakdown by discipline and type of resources, we can see that we cover all disciplines, with a strong prominence in social sciences and STM (sciences, technologogy and medicine).
Next steps:To develop the number of resources through metadata exchange and linking with other partners
our priorities are twofold:
Types of resources: to develop more academic repositories and blogs,
Disciplines : Arts and humanities and Pure sciences
ROAD system is fed by the ISSN network. We can rely on the participation of a good half of our network, on a daily basis. THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL.
ISSN IC deals with the rest of the world. A specific code is entered when assigning an ISSN to a continuing resource, corresponding to the type of OA resource.
Half of the resources have been:
selected by peer review and registration in directories
indexed by abstract & citation services ,
evaluated by journal indicators
at last, The Keepers provides information about the long term preservation programmes regarding online journals.
and you can filter by external information services covered
as of today, we have 17 partnerships that we want to consolidate, exchanging and linking more information
On a mid term basis, we also want to develop more partnerships with content platforms and aggregators in every type of resources.
the map search enables to search by region of the world or by countries
the markers indicate the number of publications by country, and correspond to a research subset
the facets most frequently used are:
thematic
country
publication year
referencing services
Partnering registries and indexing services use the ISSN as a key data field.
Each partner provides additional information, such as:
Publication charges
Business model
Date of use of OA
others like The Keepers Registries provide the Archival status, i.e. enable to know whether a title is being archived, and by which archive
and the details on what issues and volumes are preserved
ISSN records are enriched by data taken from external sources (journal indicators, indexing-abstracting services, registries…). They are the data sources.
3 processing chains:
1 - the coverage lists are submitted through excel files to the referential processing chain.
these coverage lists / data sources contain titles associated to their ISSN, and feed the enrichment database
2- the enrichment database is also fed by the ISSN-L table recovered automatically.
the external metadata is aligned with the ISSN database thanks to the ISSN-L, which is the matching key
the ISSN-L is a specific ISSN that groups the different media editions (print, online…) of the same serial publication. The ISSN-L of the publication processed is compared to the ISSN-L contained in the data source. The right ISSN is sent to the enrichment database.
3 – the bibliographic records indexing chain:
the ISSN records are matched with the additional metadata lying in the enrichment database.
the result
Partnering registries and indexing services use the ISSN as a key data field.
the external metadata is added to the ISSN record.
ISSN numbers are used as a matching key crossing ISSN records / external databases coverage lists of journals and other continuing resources.
Each partner provides additional information, such as:
Publication charges
Business model

As we are working with the FRBR and PRESSoo models, an RDF dump can be downloaded
we will revise our data model to make it applicable to the ISSN Register.
we also use schema.org markup types in the html code of our records
to add semantic structure in our html records, enabling the indexing robots to better understand the content of ROAD bibliographic records and to enhance their display in the search engines results.
we also use schema.org markup structured vocabulary to make our records easily retrievable
typing only: http://road.issn.org/issn/2331-1983
helps you find instantly the right record
FRBRoo is the only ontology which enables to represent serials.
PRESSoo is an extension of the FRBRoo model (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records – Object Oriented).
It is a formal ontology for continuing resources
designed to represent the bibliographic information relating to serials and continuing resources. It has been developed by a working group made up of representatives of the ISSN International Centre, the ISSN Review Group and the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF).
Version 1.0 has been released in June 2014: PRESSoo_1-0. A dedicated Review Group, chaired by Clément Oury (ISSN IC) has been set up under the auspices of IFLA cataloguing section to maintain and further develop this ontology. This section has connections with RDA and bibframe.
A specialized and detailed model was needed to represent serials and ongoing resources
Adapting the FRBR family of models to serials and continuing resources, PRESSoo aims to propose answers to long standing issues specific to continuing resources.
The benefits of PRESSoo is to represent all the complex relationships between serial publications and continuing resources (websites, data bases) because serials can be published on several medium, languages.
the changes that affect serials over time is also a difficult issue to tackle with in terms of continuity relationships to establish when there is a minor change of title, of publisher, of frequency.
PRESSoo is a data model, some sort of fundamental research topic to understand how to describe serial publications and continuing resources. This is a model, and as such, is not meant to be implemented, but it can have influence on FRBR and Bibframe (It is richer than Bibframe).
At the ISSN IC, we are thinking over about publishing a part of the ISSN Register in the LOD, and PRESSoo will help us formalize the records and describe thouroughly our records in RDF so as to export them easily.
ISSN is used as a matching key for aggregating and linking data about
use, impact and quality of the OA resources
