Open Science KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUSTAINABLE OPEN SCIENCE E-INFRASTRUCTURE Facts & lessons learnt from 6 years of OpenAIRE operation
Different disciplines, needs, behaviors Diverse research information/data sources (publication, data, software, ) Long tail of science vs. big science Interoperability at all levels human, organization, policy, legal, technology PARTICIPATORY DESIGN IS KEY 1. One size does not fit all
2. Open scholarship is in flux Data driven science Shared economies Reproducibility, replicability & accountability Scientific credit goes beyond peers Web-based research & social networks Need to keep up Be ahead of developments EXPLORE, ADOPT, ADAPT
3. Research is global implementation & support is local Barrier-free communication throughout the research life cycle Human capacities a key success factor Data skills at various levels within organizations
4. Open Science services for all Small services can take you a long way Trusted, secure & robust value added services embedded in all phases of the research Not just for researchers - meaningful to all stakeholders Open Science as a Service (OSaaS) out-of-the-box, on-demand deployable tools
5. Community on the driver seat. Public funder in the passenger seat. Listen to the needs Participatory and agile design Involve the research community in the design, Better and faster uptake No lock-in solutions for easier future transitions operation and governance
6. Build trust for all stakeholders Community values Researchers choose services based on credibility & sustainability Reliable services Quality of data and content Sustainability Supporting services International recognition Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
7. Innovation is everywhere Open policies for science one of many ways to foster innovation (Over)regulation stunts growth (e.g., TDM licenses) Need for a shared integrated legal interoperability framework
8. Policies are useless without an implementation plan Implementation is key to a successful policy and technical solutions must be in place before a policy is activated. Invest in monitoring & assessment mechanisms
9. Build on prior work - National, thematic and institutional centers Shared investments All layers in effective network Place research institution in the center Coordinate and align efforts via well defined policies and rules of engagement
10. e-infrastructures are hard to grasp and commit to Researchers notice when something goes amiss Funders need to change from cost to investment mentality Need time to mature Long term commitment Continuous investment Effective coordination
e-infrastructures for Open Science EUROPE S EFFORTS A day in a researcher s life
Beth & colleagues receive a grant TOPIC: identify water & air borne diseases and alert How, what, when, where? Open Peer Review? How to enhance my Impact? 1 Access to facilities with fast network GEANT Common Access with EduGain Common identification with ORCID DMP Foster Open Science OpenAIRE EUDAT THOR EUDAT OpenAIRE INRA, FAO, EFSA, What is similar out there? Who can I collaborate with? OpenAIR E 2 What data will I create? How can I share it with my colleagues? What policies for use and re-use? 3 5 How to best describe it? Where to store it? How to make it accessible? Preservation? Store and Curate Can I scan the literature for similar results? Further Analysis OpenAIRE OpenMinTeD EGI Process & Analyze What tools to use? Do I have big data? Publish 4 6 OpenAIRE EUDAT DOAJ Re3Data Where to run? What facilities? How to prepare and transfer? EGI PRACE
Take home messages 1. Open Science has many facets Translate the high level OS Policy to smaller tangible implementable policies 2. Place the research institution in the centre Support researchers in daily activities Promote the service provision mentality 3. National e-infrastructures need to position themselves within the European and global context Coordinate at national level one strategy, one voice BUT different roles & responsibilities among organizations Actively participate in EU e-infrastructures for harmonization
