The AIMS team is pleased to announce the webinar “How to practically support Open Access: Guidelines for Data Providers of the OpenAIRE scholarly communication infrastructure". It will present an overview about the evolution of OpenAIRE guidelines, challenges and methodologies.  It is open for information management specialists, librarians, software developers and other interested people.

Abstract

This webinar will provide an overview of the OpenAIRE Guidelines for data source managers who operate literature repositories, data archives or current research information systems.

The general principle of these guidelines is to improve interoperability of bibliographic information exchange between repositories, e-journals, CRIS and research infrastructures. In particular they are a means to help content providers to comply with Open Access policies and enable reporting of research output from public funding, e.g. the European Commission Open Access mandate in Horizon2020. An important aspect of the continuous development of these guidelines includes the use of established authority files and controlled vocabularies.
