Understanding and defining your choices for sharing your research results in an open scientific ecosystem

Understanding and defining your choices for sharing your research results in an open scientific ecosystem Useful links Session : 2025-11-13 Teacher Cecile SWIATEK CASSAFIERES: University Paris Nanterre Library Director and Open Science Expert with EDUC https://www.educalliance.eu/ https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1066-4559 Description The scientific, technological, economic and digital environment for researchers has been changing rapidly for several years. The aim of this open science training course is to give you a practical, factual overview of public policies on opening up, sharing and protecting publicly-funded scientific publications and other academic research output at European level. To do this, we will discover the publications ecosystem, and together we will grasp the issues involved in choosing whether to share your scientific research results selectively or in their entirety.

Examples of grey (gray) literature include technical and research reports, doctoral dissertations, conference papers, official publications, and other types of grey literature. In 1980, this information resource first began as a bibliographic database under the name SIGLE. In 2006, the records migrated to OpenSIGLE-an open access database. In 2010 its name was changed to the OpenGrey Repository given that full-texts documents began to be ingested and preserved.

OATD - Open Access PhD and Thesis https://oatd.org/ “Metadata (information about the theses) comes from over 1100 colleges, universities, and research institutions. OATD currently indexes 7,464,811 theses and dissertations. You may also want to consult these sites to search for other theses: Google Scholar NDLTD, the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. NDLTD provides information and a search engine for electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), whether they are open access or not. Proquest Theses and Dissertations (PQDT), a database of dissertations and theses, whether they were published electronically or in print, and mostly available for purchase. Access to PQDT may be limited; consult your local library for access information”.

It is based on Fast Search & Transfer technology and contributed to the European project Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research (DRIVER)”. https://www.base-search.net/ ++ : the “claim” function, linked to your ORCID ID. RDM & FAIR Data FAIR Data Findable The first step in (re)using data is to find them. Metadata and data should be easy to find for both humans and computers. Machine-readable metadata are essential for automatic discovery of datasets and services, so this is an essential component of the FAIRification process. F1. (Meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier Understanding and defining your choices for sharing your research results in an open scientific ecosystem - Useful links - DOI : 10.5281/zenodo.17639453 ; available on zenodo.org, EDUC Moodle and https://cel.hal.science EDUC-LIB / EDUC-WIDE OSEG / OA week : Open science training, 03 Nov, 2025 Cécile Swiatek Cassafieres, 0000-0003-1066-4559, Univ. Paris Nanterre Page 3/14 F2. Data are described with rich metadata (defined by R1 below) F3. Metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data they describe F4. (Meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource Accessible Once the user finds the required data, she/he/they need to know how they can be accessed, possibly including authentication and authorisation. A1. (Meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardised communications protocol A1.1 The protocol is open, free, and universally implementable A1.2 The protocol allows for an authentication and authorisation procedure, where necessary A2. Metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available Interoperable The data usually need to be integrated with other data. In addition, the data need to interoperate with applications or workflows for analysis, storage, and processing. I1. (Meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation. I2. (Meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles I3. (Meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data Reusable The ultimate goal of FAIR is to optimise the reuse of data. To achieve this, metadata and data should be well-described so that they can be replicated and/or combined in different settings. R1. (Meta)data are richly described with a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes R1.1. (Meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license R1.2. (Meta)data are associated with detailed provenance R1.3. (Meta)data meet domain-relevant community standards Understanding and defining your choices for sharing your research results in an open scientific ecosystem - Useful links - DOI : 10.5281/zenodo.17639453 ; available on zenodo.org, EDUC Moodle and https://cel.hal.science EDUC-LIB / EDUC-WIDE OSEG / OA week : Open science training, 03 Nov, 2025 Cécile Swiatek Cassafieres, 0000-0003-1066-4559, Univ. Paris Nanterre Page 4/14 The principles refer to three types of entities: data (or any digital object), metadata (information about that digital object), and infrastructure. For instance, principle F4 defines that both metadata and data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource (the infrastructure component).

Scientific article describing a dataset. Can be published in a data journal or in a traditional magazine. Peer review. A data paper generally includes the following elements : - access to the dataset, in the form of either attached files or a permanent link to a data warehouse; - a detailed description (metadata) of the dataset (production context, authors, attached rights, etc.). The “classic” scientific publishing model Ask yourself : ● Are there any issues arising from this model? What could be missing in this model? ● How did we get to this situation? ● What is the reason why all researchers do not publish in freely accessible journals?

Europe : EDCH The European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH) is a collective that provides services for Diamond Open Access Publishers, Service Providers, and Tools & Technology Providers. It takes its place alongside other regional Capacity Hubs such as Redalyc-Amelica and AJOL, and thus provides a gateway to the global Diamond Open Access community.

Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive, equitable and sustainable.

Paris Nanterre Page 8/14 identifies a set of actions conducive to a fair and equitable operationalization of open science for all at the individual, institutional, national, regional and international levels. Open science has the potential of making the scientific process more transparent, inclusive and democratic”. “Open science: ● increases scientific collaborations and sharing of information for the benefits of science and society; ● makes multilingual scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for everyone; and ● opens the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation and communication to societal actors beyond the traditional scientific community. Our interconnected world needs open science to help solve complex social, environmental, and economic challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. By promoting science that is more accessible, inclusive and transparent, open science furthers the right of everyone to share in scientific advancement and its benefits as stated in Article 27.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights”.
