Die Umsetzung von Open Access und Open Data ist für Horizon 2020 Projekte, die von der Europäischen Kommission gefördert werden, obligat. Überlegungen zu Open Policies und Openness in den Wissenschaften stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Berichtes, der auf Erfahrungen mit der Erstellung des Standardization Survival Kit (SSK) beruht. Das SSK wurde als ein Tool im Rahmen des Horizon 2020 geförderten Projektes PARTHENOS entwickelt. Daher wird zunächst die Data-Harvesting Plattform von PARTHENOS vorgestellt, um daran die Bedeutung von Openness und Standards zu erläutern. Nach einem Exkurs zu den FAIR Data Prinzipien wird das SSK-Tool beschrieben und wie dieses zu Openness beiträgt. Plädiert wird für eine Dokumentation von Open Workflows und Open Research Methods, wie es mittels dem SSK möglich ist.

Trends in the sciences are indicative of data management becoming established as a feature of the mainstream research process. In this context, the European Commission introduced an Open Research Data pilot at the start of the Horizon 2020 research programme. This initiative followed the success of the Open Access pilot implemented in the prior (FP7) research programme, which thereafter became an integral component of Horizon 2020. While the Open Access phenomenon can reasonably be argued to be one of many instances of web technologies disrupting established business models (namely publication practices and workflows established over several centuries in the case of Open Access), initiatives designed to promote research data management have no established foundation on which to build. For Open Data to become a reality and, more importantly, to contribute to the scientific process, data management best practices and workflows are required. Furthermore, with the scientific community having operated to good effect in the absence of data management, there is a need to demonstrate the merits of data management. This circumstance is complicated by the lack of the necessary ICT infrastructures, especially interoperability standards, required to facilitate the seamless transfer, aggregation and analysis of research data. Any activity aiming to promote Open Data thus needs to overcome a number of cultural and technological challenges. It is in this context that this paper examines the data management activities and outcomes of a number of projects participating in the Horizon 2020 Open Research Data pilot. The result has been to identify a number of commonly encountered benefits and issues; to assess the utilisation of data management plans; and through the close examination of specific cases, to gain insights into obstacles to data management and potential solutions. Although primarily anecdotal and difficult to quantify, the experiences reported in this paper tend to favour developing data management best practices rather than doggedly pursue the Open Data mantra. While Open Data may prove valuable in certain circumstances, there is good reason to claim that managed access to scientific data of high inherent intellectual and financial value will prove more effective in driving knowledge discovery and innovation.

Open access, open data, open source and other open scholarship practices are growing in popularity and necessity. However, widespread adoption of these practices has not yet been achieved. One reason is that researchers are uncertain about how sharing their work will affect their careers. We review literature demonstrating that open research is associated with increases in citations, media attention, potential collaborators, job opportunities and funding opportunities. These findings are evidence that open research practices bring significant benefits to researchers relative to more traditional closed practices.

Opening Up

The digital transformation has initiated a paradigm shift in research and scholarly communication practices towards a more open scholarly culture. Although this transformation is slowly happening in the Digital Humanities field, open is not yet default. The article introduces the OpenMethods metablog, a community platform that highlights open research methods, tools, and practices within the context of the Digital Humanities by republishing open access content around methods and tools in various formats and languages. It also describes the platform’s technical infrastructure based on its requirements and main functionalities, and especially the collaborative content sourcing and editorial workflows. The article concludes with a discussion of the potentials of the OpenMethods metablog to overcome barriers towards open practices by focusing on inclusive, community sourced information based around opening up research processes and the challenges that need to be overcome to achieve its goals.

The ExaQUte project participates in the Pilot on Open Research Data launched by the European Commission (EC) along with the H2020 program. This pilot is part of the Open Access to Scientific Publications and Research Data program in H2020. The goal of the program is to foster access to research data generated in H2020 projects. The use of a Data anagement Plan (DMP) is required for all projects participating in the Open Research Data Pilot, in which they will specify what data will be kept for the longer term. The underpinning idea is that Horizon 2020 beneficiaries have to make their research data findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (FAIR), to ensure it is soundly managed.

Open Access is a synergised global movement using Internet to provide equal access to knowledge that once hid behind the subscription paywalls. Many new models for scholarly communication have emerged in recent past. One among them is institutional or digital repositories which archive the scholarly content of an organization. While the concept of Open Access opened new arena for institutional or digital repositories in the form of Open repositories. Likewise, the Open repositories for Research Data Management (RDM) are initiative to organize, store, cite, preserve, and share the collected data derived from the research. There are many multidisciplinary and subject specific open repositories for RDM offering exquisite features for perpetual management of research data. The objective of the present study is to evaluate features of popular Open Data Repositories-Zenodo, FigShare, Harvard Dataverse and Mendeley Data. The evaluation provided insights about the key features of the selected Open Data Repositories and which enable us to select the best among them. Zenodo provides maximum data upload limit. While the major features required by a researcher like DOI, File Types, citation support, licenses, search (metadata harvesting) are provided by all three repositories.

Access Policies

Thesis/Objective – The policy of Open Access (OA) for researching resources in Europe has been implemented for more than 10 years. The first recommendations concerning providing OA to scientific materials were defined during the implementation of the 7th Framework Programme. Introducing another set of recommendations concerning OA to research data was the next stage. The recommendations were transformed into obligations under the Horizon 2020 Programme. In 2018, research-funding institutions were associated in the Plan S document issued by CoalitionS ,which aims to accelerate the transition to full and immediate OA to publications from publicly funded research until January 2021. Academic libraries have always been pioneers in implementing OA to research, creating the necessary tools (platforms and repositories), and preparing training workshops for researchers. OA policy implementation, including both access to research resources and data, is accelerating. That is why the role of academic libraries and academic librarians has become crucial. The article presents how library services and the scope of tasks of their employees change in connection with the introduction of open access policies for research data in Poland. Research methods – A critical review of the literature was used to analyse the content of foreign and Polish LIS literature published in the years 2009-2019. In addition, official documents issued by the European Commission were analysed, as well as websites devoted to Open Research Data (ORD). Results and conclusions – Some new specialisations in librarianship have been introduced – e.g. a data librarian who is responsible not only for academic staff training sessions on Open Research Data, but also for assistance for research teams in the field of data management and data curation. In the future, academic libraries will be responsible for coordinating the work of data stewards responsible for supporting the process of research data creating and managing at university departments and in research teams.

Insbesondere in den letzten zwei Jahren hat Österreich im Bereich Open Science, vor allem was Open Access und Open Data betrifft, nennenswerte Fortschritte gemacht. Die Gründung des Open Access Networks Austria (OANA) und das Anfang 2014 gestartete Projekt e-Infrastructures Austria können als wichtige Grundsteine für den Ausbau einer österreichischen Open-Science-Landschaft gesehen werden. Auch das österreichische Kapitel der Open Knowledge Foundation leistet in den Bereichen Open Science Praxis- und Bewusstseinsbildung grundlegende Arbeit. Unter anderem bilden diese Initiativen die Grundlage für den Aufbau einer nationalen Open-Access-Strategie sowie einer ganz Österreich abdeckenden Infrastruktur für Open Access und Open (Research) Data. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über diese und ähnliche nationale sowie lokale Open-Science-Projekte und -Initiativen und einen Ausblick in die mögliche Zukunft von Open Science in Österreich.
