<p>Whilst many funders and publishers require or encourage researchers to share data underlying publications, the same cannot be said for code, which is also vital for reproducibility and transparency of research. We surveyed researchers in computational biology disciplines to understand if the community would support a mandatory code sharing policy, and their experiences with code sharing. Respondents (n=214) reported that, on average, 71% of their research articles have associated code, and that on average, code has not been shared for 32% of these articles. The most common reasons for not sharing code were practical issues (e.g. lack of time) and intellectual property concerns were cited by 22%. Overall, respondents reported they were on average more likely to submit to the journal if it had a mandatory code sharing policy, although Medicine and Health scientists and senior researchers viewed the proposed policy less favourably. A stronger code sharing policy has since been introduced at PLOS Computational Biology and this talk will discuss the learnings from the survey and the impact of the stronger code sharing policy implemented at the journal.</p>

<p>For over a decade, the European scientific community has been battling for redefining the copyright framework to make it more adapted for data-intensive research. In an effort to address this issue, EU Directive 2019/790 on copyright in the Digital Single Market introduced an exception for Text and Data Mining (TDM) for the purposes of scientific research; the text has recently been transposed or is in the process of transposition in the national laws of EU Member States. While the new exception does facilitate TDM by research organisations, it can also be criticised for its limited list of beneficiaries, for the uncertainties surrounding data archiving and sharing, or for its unclear relation with technological protection measures that can be implemented by content owners. Perhaps most importantly, however, the exception can disincentivise open licensing of research data, a precondition of Open Science.</p>
<p>In this talk, the author will present the content of the new TDM exception for scientific research in the EU, discuss its potentially negative impact on Open Science and suggest institutional strategies to prevent it from materialising.</p>

<p>Open access journals and blogs run by academics and therefore independent of big and commercial publishers (scholar-led) embody the idea of a biblio-diverse publishing ecosystem. They often catalyze creative and experimental formats, models and strategies that benefit the publishing community as a whole. Yet they are constantly underfunded, and often enough they have to cease operations due to financial incapacities and the lack of a sustainable business model. And while many initiatives support open access publications already, genuine open access journals and blogs without author-facing fees (diamond open access) are plunged into a substantial affordability crisis. The research project “Scholar-led Plus'' recognizes their precarious situation and develops over the course of 24 months a support structure that is funded and owned by the academic publishing community.</p>
<p>The poster illustrates three core elements of the research project that are designed to lead to the creation of the support structure in December 2022. This support structure will foster better practice in funding open access journals and blogs and guide them towards more efficient and outcome oriented workflows.</p>
<ol>
<li>Developing a concept for the support structure: How do we build a supportive model that takes demands, needs and requirements of both journals and funders into account? This process is multi-leveled, involves a wide set of stakeholders (journals, blogs, libraries, research societies, funders, …) and therefore raises a multitude of challenges. These challenges are to be addressed through an accompanying research, which enables a robust framework for easy reuse in different funding setups.</li>
<li>Involving the community in building the support structure: the poster will present and contextualize first results from a survey regarding costs and expenditures of OA journals, which lays the foundation for our resilient funding model and kicks-off our event series of community outreach. Following up on this, we will host several workshops in Spring 2022 in order to identify a set of user stories and use-cases of such a support structure. Our target audiences are journals, funders and everyone else with an interest in creating a sustainable and community-rooted support structure.</li>
<li>Streamlining funding processes and workflows for community publishing: The poster will outline three key areas of support for scholar-led publishing and follow-up on recent literature on community-based, horizontal, participatory and democratic governance. Since scholar-led publishing often has to manage with a minimum of administrative capacity, we intend to provide funding and consulting while minimising overhead for journals and RFOs.</li>
</ol>
<p>As a means of activating the community, the poster is a call for participation at the same time: We ask journals, blogs and funders to take part in the workshop series, focus groups and expert interviews and will provide a timeline including action points and multiple opportunities to get involved.<br>

<p>In academia, science is always interwoven with education. Thus, open education has to be an important component of open science. While earlier concepts of open practices emphasized the use and creation of open educational resources (OER), current models of open educational practices (OEP) aim to frame concepts of openness in learning and teaching. Researchers have been investigating the meaning of openness and its diverse interpretations with respect to aspects of open pedagogy (Wiley & Hilton III, 2018), empowerment, inclusion, and social justice (Koseoglu et al., 2020). In Germany a newer media didactical discourse proposes to enrich the debate of OER infrastructure with concepts of OEP (Bellinger & Mayrberger, 2019).</p>
<p>Open infrastructures, services and tools are not only part of open science initiatives but as digital objects they influence the knowledge and practices of their users. Thus, they shape the way we are able to practice openness. Our research therefore draws upon current functionalities of higher education services that provide open learning and teaching resources. We asked: How might open educational practices be shaped by current functions in digital services for learning and teaching resources? To answer this question, we investigated 38 German, Austrian and Swiss higher education services providing open learning and teaching material (e.g., OER repositories, learning management systems, video platforms, publication servers). We examined the functions of those services with regard to conceptual ideas discussed on OER and OEP (Santos-Hermosa et al., 2017; Zervas et al., 2014). We<br>
identified diverse core functions of current services that we will discuss regarding the needs of users who want to adapt OEP. Infrastructures do not only allow the reuse and sharing of OER, but also convey the model of open educational resources in their media performance. It is striking that current services concentrate on the searching and finding of open educational resources, but lack the idea of open collaboration and communication between teachers and learners.</p>
<p>Our poster contributes to how infrastructures can better support OEP and lead to a better use and acceptance of OER among scientific communities. It provides useful insights for the open science community into how to develop infrastructures that foster open educational practices.</p>

<p>Citizen Science (CS) engages the public in scientific projects, bringing benefits to both research and society. Scientists gain the opportunity to collect or process larger amounts of data with the help of volunteers (and also cooperate with citizens in various other ways), to open a social debate on their topic, to learn about the issues that concern citizens the most and to increase their organisational skills. CS bridges the gap between science and public, increases scientific literacy and society's trust in science.</p>
<p><br>
The growth of CS is not uniform, even within Europe – while CS concept is thriving in Western Europe, it is only starting to get recognized in post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. These countries face similar challenges, they can collaborate and share experience on international platforms, but simultaneously they must build the foundations in their specific circumstances.</p>
<p><br>
In Slovakia, only a few scientific projects have used participatory methods so far. We surveyed them and contacted their representatives. Most of the projects deal with biology and environment; we found just one project in social sciences. Only some of the participatory projects refer to the term citizen science (mostly those belonging to international cooperation). There is little awareness on CS in the local academic environment and in broader public. It has no representation in university curricula and rarely appears in the media. This may be caused by a shorter existence of civil society, low support for science in general, lack of openness and the language barrier.</p>
<p><br>
To raise awareness on CS in our country, we created short introductory open course (titled Začnime si s občianskou vedou – Let’s start with the citizen science) on EU-Citizen.Science platform.</p>
<p><br>
Our course is in Slovak language, because there is a lot of material on CS in dominant European languages, but a minimum in Slovak. Use of English as a universal language of science brings many advantages, however, the academic community is now re-learning to appreciate the importance of communication in locally relevant languages (see e.g. the Helsinki Initiative on Multilingualism in Scholarly Communication). In CS, communication and creation of open educational materials in local language is essential, since the success of participatory research requires involvement of several partners with different level of scientific and language skills. Our course covers brief history, definition and benefits of CS, design of the project, finding partners, questions of data and ethics and impact of the project. The course is supplemented with video-interviews of representatives of particular projects from Slovakia, to increase the visibility of good practice, demonstrate to the audience that CS is also useful in conditions of a small country and encourage other researchers to use participatory methods. We will promote the course among potential stakeholders, ask for feedback and measure participation. As a next step, we propose to create a national CS platform as a venue for education and networking, where all potential CS stakeholders will be able to find general information and discover the projects that are most relevant for them to join.<br>

<p>Open Science is increasingly important to libraries and universities in the digital age, but standards and essential competencies are constantly evolving, and educational offerings on the topic are not always current. The library of a newly designated R2 university set up a department, comprised of a new data librarian and a new scholarly communications librarian, as a direct answer to faculty desires and growing research support needs. When surveyed in 2019, faculty expressed interest and lack of awareness in nearly all areas of the data lifecycle, especially open data and data sharing, and crosscampus infrastructure projects such as DMPTool and Dataverse were stalled. Similarly, increased open access and repository services related to self-archiving, APC funding, and open journal selection were in high demand but had no single point person able to take on all of these responsibilities in addition to their own. This poster will map out what was expected of these new librarian roles, what roadblocks were faced, how outreach has been conducted, what faculty are asking about the most, and new strategies to set up a sustainable Open Science campus. It has lessons on tailoring your Open Science program to your institutional context and the continuing areas of expertise required of librarians working in Open Science. By breaking down projects and initiatives these librarians worked on during their first months, it also provides an example of how much new librarians can accomplish!<br>

<p>Open Science is an attempt to make science contribute more to tackling major societal challenges. To achieve this grand ambition, public stakeholders and citizens should be involved with science in a meaningful way. We have examined 1) when public engagement can be considered meaningful and, 2) how it can be organised.<br>
<br>
Although there is not one optimal way to involve the public meaningfully, this does not mean that any public engagement is by definition meaningful. Our research culminates in the position that public involvement is meaningful when the (power) relationship between knowledge producers and stakeholders changes in favour of the latter. This means that for public engagement to be meaningful, its form must fit well with its aim; the purpose of engaging the public suggests who should be engaged, where, when, and how. Additionally, we present five directives to help policymakers and researchers design processes of meaningful public engagement.</p>

<p>The IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) standard allows us to gather digital<br>
collections of manuscripts and artworks in libraries, archives and museums from around the<br>
world, create scholarly annotations or highlight evidence by creating contextualized and<br>
interactive displays. So far, hundreds of libraries, archives and museums have implemented<br>
IIIF protocols and thus over 1 bn images of cultural heritage are freely and interoperably<br>
available and reusable.</p>
<p><br>
Unfortunately, working with IIIF manifests has not been straightforward up until now. There is<br>
a plethora of open source tools allowing scholars to pursue specific research activities. These<br>
tools often do not integrate well, however. In many cases, considerable IT skills are required<br>
to get started. This is where our ambition comes into play. We intend to lower the hurdle: to<br>
integrate existing tools into an intrinsically open and seamless research environment.<br>
We identified one central element that was missing: a storage component for Mirador Viewer<br>
- the most widely used digital media viewer for IIIF resources. Our first idea was to create a<br>
new data store at the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. We then realized that storing these resources<br>
locally was actually not an option, since IIIF is based on linked data. We decided to integrate<br>
a storage function with GitHub. On GitHub saved collections can be addressed via the<br>
internet and thus be shared with others or reused in any other IIIF compatible tool.<br>
Why should working with IIIF be considered as a practice of Open Science? In a way, the IIIF<br>
protocol makes open content even more open. Every single page of a manuscript can be<br>
addressed and reused in a simple and direct way. Thanks to a standardized API, content and<br>
software functions for any archive providing IIIF access are delivered in the same way. There<br>
are reasons to hope for a positive enforcement of Open Science by facilitating the use of<br>
open data as well as open tools to create open and reusable research data.<br>
As part of our poster we would like to present our software development, which is still in<br>
progress, and address at the same time the question of scholarly best practice. Drawing on<br>
examples of current research using IIIF resources and bearing in mind the research<br>
environment we are working on, we would like to offer some ideas of how such best practice<br>
should, in our opinion, look like in the future.<br>

<p>The talk will present the Action Plan for Diamond Open Access, developed by Science Europe, cOAlition S, OPERAS, and the French National Research Agency (ANR). The goal of the Action Plan is to further develop and expand a sustainable, community-driven Diamond OA scholarly communication ecosystem. The Action Plan proposes to align and develop common resources for the entire Diamond OA ecosystem, including journals and platforms, while respecting the cultural, multilingual, and disciplinary diversity that constitutes the strength of the sector. It focuses on four central elements: efficiency, quality standards, capacity building, and sustainability, following up on the recommendations of the ‘Open Access Diamond Journals Study’.</p>

<p>Open Science means opening up science through transparency in the research process and participation of new actors in research and innovation. Many research performing organisations (RPOs) are interested in or have already set out to strengthen Open Science at their institution. To facilitate top-down engagement from institutional leaders and culture change we are currently developing Road2Openness (R2O). R2O is a web-based assessment tool that helps institutions to evaluate their current Open Science activities and supports them with recommendations for a strategic opening to develop institutional training, infrastructure and incentive systems for Open Science. We have partnered with three universities in Germany to co-develop and pilot the tool. In this talk, we will present the idea behind the tool, how it can be used by RPOs and the results from the pilot project.</p>

<p>Across disciplines, research quality benefits from transparency and openness, as well as efforts to replicate and reproduce. While open scholarship is experiencing a surge, thanks to efforts to promote robust research grounded in the principles of good research practice sparked by individuals and grassroots approaches, it is still far from the norm. To achieve system-wide change, these efforts at the vanguard of reforming research practices must also become reflected in institutional structures and commitments, and in incentive structures. The goal should be an overhauled academic system that supports and promotes robust and reproducible research, as a solid stepping stone for future research endeavors and for the reliable translation of findings into policies, interventions and innovations. In the current debate about the employment situation in the German academe (#ichbinhanna, “I am Hanna”), we see a multitude of connections between improving the precarious labor conditions for researchers in Germany and improving research practices, offering the chance to leverage the potential for structural change to benefit research quality.</p>

<p>Humanity has a mix of overlapping goals that relate to science (and more broadly, wissenschaft). We seek new knowledge for its own purpose as well as for its potential solution to both detailed and general problems, situations, and crises. And we want to be able to verify (or disprove) such knowledge (reproducibility), then build on it (reuse), as simply and as cost-effectively as possible. In this talk, I will focus on knowledge captured in research software, which can be both read, executed, and extended. Specifically, we have developed a new set of FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) Principles for Research Software, which serve an overlapping purpose with open science. This talk will incude: the role of software in research, the FAIR for Research Software Principles, the community that developed them, the next steps in their implementation, and systematic challenges that need to be addressed for software to be more FAIR and for it to better help meet humanity's science goals.</p>

<p>The contribution will present the concept of a new form of open scientific publication that has the potential to transform the current publication system through putting a focus on updating existing publications, rather than closing them after their first appearance. It is currently based on review-type articles that discuss major new developments and/or political topics. But the concept can also be extended to any type of scientific publication.</p>

<p>Data are constantly being produced as part of research activities. A powerful and futureoriented research data management can improve the efficiency of this research, the long-term availability of the produced data and the reproducibility of the results. Metadata are an essential building block for this, as outlined by the FAIR Principles.</p>
<p>In order to address this topic, the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres has launched the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) platform. Our mission is to provide comprehensive services, consulting, information, and tools for an efficient handling of metadata and, consequently, to improve the FAIRness of Helmholtz research data.</p>
<p>Of high importance for success of HMC is the acceptance among the communities of the Helmholtz research fields (Energy; Earth & Environment; Health; Matter; Information; Aeronautics, Space and Transport). To accomplish this, HMC relies on a distributed structure of six discipline specific Metadata Hubs tasked with engaging with these respective communities. The Hubs activate competences, nurture ideas, and collect demands of their domains to develop solutions to current metadata challenges. A central service unit, tasked with the technical developments, will help implement recommended solutions, services or tools.</p>
<p>Developments within our platform will be reusing existing infrastructures and concepts, where appropriate, e.g. FAIR Digital Objects concept, existing standards, ontologies or vocabularies. First technical services are available and will be distributed to science communities. Generically usable processes, technical solutions, training, education and data consulting services are being set-up and made available. We are in close contact with relevant open science key players within Helmholtz and are part of a larger Helmholtz funding scheme, tackling the challenges of digitalisation of research. Furthermore, our activities are embedded in national and international context (e.g. RDA, EOSC, NFDI), along the scientific domains as well as information and data science to ensure compatibility to the larger science community. The ultimate goal is not only to set up an internal Helmholtz platform, but to establish a public, open, long-term available community service handling metadata.<br>

<p>The beginnings of the awareness on the significant value of open access (OA) for both scientific research and wider society are found in Slovenia in the first decade of 2000. A major breakthrough in this field was the ODUN project, co-financed by the European Union Regional Development Fund and the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports of the Republic of Slovenia. During the lifetime of the project, more precisely from 2007 to 2013, institutional repositories were established for several Slovenian universities, including the Repository of the University of Ljubljana (RUL) (Ojsteršek et al., 2014). The acquisition of the latter enables researchers to deposit their research articles and other publications in the institutional repository, which complies with the OpenAIRE guidelines.</p>
<p><br>
In our poster, we provide an examination of the changing behaviour of researchers at the School of Economics and Business, University of Ljubljana (SEB LU) towards both RUL and OA in the period from 2017 to 2021, by comparing the percentage of scientific articles published in each year and deposited in RUL. None of the 145 articles published in 2017 is deposited in RUL. A slight increase is evident in the subsequent years, with 3 out of 163 (1.84%) articles published in 2018 and deposited in RUL, and 17 out of 220 (7.73%) articles published in 2019 and deposited in RUL. For articles published in 2020, there is a huge increase observed, since as much as 80 out of 172 (46.51%) articles published in that year are also deposited in RUL. As regards 2021, the data at the end of October show a slight drop in this number with 71 out of 183 (38.80%) articles deposited in RUL.</p>
<p><br>
It can be assumed that the sudden increased use of RUL is the result of an ongoing OA campaign which was started in early 2020 by the Central Economics Library located at SEB LU. The aim of the campaign is to inform researchers about not only the benefits of OA and funder mandates, but also opportunities for OA publishing. The campaign in addition shifts the time-consuming work of depositing articles in RUL from researchers to library staff, making it the most important feature of the campaign, as OA options are checked for all published articles. Whenever applicable, the version of record or the author accepted manuscript is deposited in RUL by the library staff.</p>
<p>Some of the techniques used in the campaign include:</p>
<ul>
<li>OA presentations for researchers,</li>
<li>advising individual researchers on specific OA issues,</li>
<li>informing researchers about OA developments and training opportunities via the SEB LU newsletter,</li>
<li>an OA guide created using the LibGuides tool.</li>

<p>In recent years, major academic publishers have begun to redesign their business model, shifting from traditional publishing to a data analytics business. Personal and behavioural data of the researches is collected through site tracking, authentication systems and real-time data, allowing the publishers to create detailed profiles of research behaviour, often without sufficient knowledge on the part of researchers and institutions. This lecture illustrates the impact that the tracking of individual researches can have on academic freedom and the right to informational self-determination. It is an appeal to academic institutions to protect sensitive data and engage in the debate on research tracking.</p>

<p>Operationalising the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) guiding principles for scientific data management and stewardship [1] enhance the use of data beyond its original purpose. Data analysis of different sources for example requires interoperability that allows machines to automatically combine and process the data. Semantic interoperability, i.e., the ability to automatically interpret the shared information in a meaningful way, is given special attention in the biomedical domain. Its realization by ontology-based semantic annotation is still a challenge due to various standards and semantic richness of the data.<br>
Plenty semi-structured and structured study documents exist that are not yet semantically annotated. Despite of the laborious annotation process, semantic annotation is largely done manually and annotators have to manage data standards and formats as well as a variety of complex terminologies and ontologies for annotation. Therefore, a semi-automatic approach to support researchers in semantic annotation and handling the different data formats is desirable. In this context, the National Research Data Infrastructure for Personal Health Data (NFDI4Health) aims to improve the FAIR access to structured health data originating from epidemiology studies, public health and clinical studies and support the harmonization of (meta-)data [2]. For the latter, we present an approach for a cross-domain and extensible semantic metadata annotation service, that addresses the problems stated above. Basic requirements for the metadata annotation service are an open accessible web service, open code and an interface to integrate different terminology lookup services with access to terminology concepts depending on the use case. For the medical domain, support for the SNOMED terminology and common standards such as HL7 FHIR [3] are additional requirements. While some metadata annotation services already exist (e.g. [4]), they are in many cases tailored to specific data formats and terminologies or they do not meet all basic prerequisites. A first prototype was developed that meets the basic requirements and can be adapted to specific use cases. Terminology search via the Ontology Lookup Service [5] was implemented in an open-source web application to provide access to a wide range of terminologies. Usability tests with users indicated a good user experience. Currently, the annotation service is being further adapted for a use case in the medical domain. Therefore, the HL7 FHIR standard will be integrated and the SNOMED CT terminology will be used for semantic annotation of medical terms.</p>

<p>This talk will summarise work done within the EC Horizon2020 project ON-MERRIT (2019-2022, <a href="https://on-merrit.eu/">https://on-merrit.eu/</a>) to investigate risks of cumulative advantage in the transition to Open Science. Open Science holds the promise to make scientific endeavours more inclusive, participatory, understandable, accessible, and re-usable for large audiences. However, making processes open will not per se drive wide re-use or participation unless also accompanied by the capacity (in terms of knowledge, skills, financial resources, technological readiness and motivation) to do so. These capacities vary considerably across regions, institutions and demographics. Those advantaged by such factors will remain potentially privileged, putting Open Science’s agenda of inclusivity at risk of propagating conditions of “cumulative advantage”. Since 2019, the EC Horizon2020 project ON-MERRIT has been investigating these issues using scientometric, sociological and other approaches to examine how these factor influence the ways in which Open Science is taken up (and by whom). As ON-MERRIT concludes, this talk will showcase diverse findings across areas including OA publishing, rewards and incentives and participatory methods. I then concludes by presenting recommendations to mitigate threats co-created with the Open Science community.</p>

<p>Open repositories are open to EVERYONE. Unfortunately, that includes machines, or robots / “bots”, roaming around open repositories for various reasons, or even by chance, thus creating non-human-generated statistics for the repositories they visit.</p>
<p>This issue is especially significant to open repositories, as subscription-based databases usually place more obstacles in the path of “bots”, including authentication and authorization.</p>
<p>While acceptable usage of open repositories encompasses any human interaction meant to satisfy intellectual curiosity or engage professionally with the repository’s content, machinegenerated engagement is usually in bulk and does not serve research goals that the repository is designed to assist with.</p>
<p>Machine-generated usage statistics could skew the accuracy of impact and engagement metrics for individual publications or entire repositories, thus impacting funding, perception, content acquisition policy and more.</p>
<p>Therefore, an accurate measuring of engagement, usage, and their various metrics for open repositories requires effective methods of weeding out non-human-generated statistics. We have come up with a workflow to minimize machine-generated statistics as much as we can, identifying seven “layers” of “bot” activity, ranked by ease of detection and codified by the colors of the rainbow (ROYGBIV).</p>
<p>The rainbow-theme color coding strives to divide machine generated activity in a repository by the ease of detection by information specialists administrating an open repository, suggesting methods and tools for the detection and handling of each category, when applicable.</p>
<ul>
<li>Red: DDoS attacks</li>
<li>Orange: Crawler HTTP agents</li>
<li>Yellow: Known blacklisted IP addresses</li>
<li>Green: Newly found blacklisted IP addresses</li>
<li>Blue: Non-blacklisted IP addresses behaving suspiciously</li>
<li>Indigo: Bot disguised as VPN</li>
<li>Violet: Bot client arrays</li>
</ul>
<p>Open repository statistics can virtually never be 100% “clean” of machine-generated impact. However, adhering to the workflow and using freely available tools can significantly reduce “noise” in the measurement of repository metrics, helping publishers and organizations make better informed decisions and providing a realistic usage picture.</p>
<p>In this poster session we will discuss the various types of machine-generated statistics indicators and how to best detect them.</p>
<p>The poster will also include future trends in bot activity and detection.<br>

<p>Modelling climate and energy systems is a challenging endeavour. Scientists with different backgrounds, terminology and interests analyse large, complex, interdependent, and regulated systems. Some studies focus only on the electricity sector, while others will partially or fully include other sectors such as heat and transport in their calculations and analyses. Similar data sets are used that originate from different sources, have different temporal and spatial resolutions, different reference years or even divergent underlying sector concepts. For example, some input data is collected manually, while other data is a product of other models and calculations. In this research field, understandability, reproducibility, and collaboration are challenges for the scientific community. A lot of complex data needs to be published in an accessible and self-explanatory way to meet open science standards for software development and research data management.</p>
<p>A group of scientific institutes from the field of energy research has implemented the idea of creating and using a modular, shared and open research data infrastructure. The Open Energy Family framework is a collection of various tools and information designed to ensure quality, transparency and reproducibility in energy system modelling. It was originally formulated at an early workshop of the openmod initiative and primarily funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The main module is the Open Energy Platform (OEP), a web interface that provides access to a community database. It enables the publication of data sets linked to the corresponding source code and underlying assumptions using a standardized metadata format, the Open Energy Metadata (OEMetadata). The format is publicly developed on GitHub and conforms to the Frictionless Datapackage standard. It is a json file that describes the structure and content of adjacent files or database tables. In its latest version (v1.5.0) we have refined it to allow references to ontologies. An ontology is a well-structured and defined description of reality that includes all the elements of<br>
interest and their interactions. It contains a formal naming and a definition of classes, properties and their relationships. An ontology can serve as a reference for concepts, terms and definitions within a particular domain of discourse. The Open Energy Ontology (OEO), a collaborative effort, aims to create a common ontology for energy system modelling.</p>
<p>The poster introduces our approach, combining standardized metadata with references to a domain ontology. We describe the structure and content of the OEMetadata standard and the semantic methods of the OEO. Applying an ontology to data annotations in databases and metadata allows flexible, content-oriented data integration and aggregation. It also offers the possibility of advanced searching functions and logical queries across data sets. With this connection, we can ensure that research data can be annotated in a well-defined and unambiguous way, making the data understandable and reusable.<br>

<p>The French second National Plan for Open Science was launched in July 2021 and will run through 2024. Through 4 lines of action, the plan seeks to foster open science practices, to make science more effective, more transparent and more accessible, and to contribute to the EU goal of promoting open science. Its funding, which amounts to €15 million per year, will further facilitate the dissemination and sharing of publications, research data and codes produced in France, as well as increasing open research practices among research units and universities.</p>
<p><br>
This second national plan includes research source codes, provides a framework for actions in fostering data openness and sharing, for example through the creation of the national repository for research data. The plan multiplies the transformational levers for spreading open science practices among various disciplines. It is strongly oriented towards Europe and proposes, in the context of the French presidency of the European Union, that open science practices be efficiently taken into account in individual and collective research evaluations.</p>
<p><br>
The 4 action lines are the following:<br>
1. Generalise open access to scientific publications;<br>
2. Structuring, sharing and opening up research data;<br>
3. Open and promote source codes produced by research;<br>
4. Transform practices to make open science the default principle.</p>
<p><br>
We focus on a double opportunity that this plan offers to French universities: the possibility of relying on a national policy framework to advance their own policies, infrastructures and practices on the one hand, and the implementation of cooperation between universities to improve systems and their visibility at international level on the other.</p>
<p><br>
The first use case relates to the national research data repository, Recherche Data Gouv, which will be available in the first quarter of 2022. It aims to structure research data and make them openly available. We take the example of data.sciencespo, Sciences Po's institutional repository, to show how it will be integrated into Research Data Gouv and will benefit from complementary national initiatives to support researchers and university support staff in adopting open data practices.</p>
<p><br>
The second use case concerns the 4th action line, and more precisely its measure n°10, whose objective is to develop the open science skills of students and support staff throughout their career. The example of the University of Strasbourg shows how this national impetus makes it possible to strengthen the cooperation already established within EUCOR-the European Campus with German (Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Albert-Ludwigs Universität Freiburg) and Swiss (Universität Basel) partners to train support staff and doctoral students in research data management. Workshops for the exchange of practices bringing together the support teams are organised on a regular basis and a training offer shared between the partners is implemented for the doctoral students of the EUCOR programmes.</p>

<p>As the Open Science movement is making an impact, few will doubt that the future of science is open. But what does this mean for students? And what about the future of scientific education? So far these questions go largely unanswered. The student community has so far been left out of conversations about the future of science and is not adequately educated in Open Science.</p>
<p>Locally, some tentative steps are being taken that stress the students’ involvement in the movement, for example expressed by the manifesto Reshaping the Academic Self by the Utrecht University Open Science Programme. We however believe that these processes need to be accelerated, taken up more widely and are in desperate need of insights from the students’ point of view.</p>
<p>This is why we started a student-focused and student-led initiative for Open Science. The Student Initiative for Open Science (SIOS) was founded in Amsterdam almost three years ago and now has chapters in Utrecht and Twente. SIOSes educate students about Open Science and try to have their voices be heard. Through workshops and their tight networks, SIOSes have gotten a unique perspective on the needs and wants of students with respect to Open Science.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, our experience so far shows that most students are largely ignorant about the movement’s relevance to them; very few encounter it directly within their education. With its strong emphasis on innovations in academic structures, Open Science’s jargon simply seems uninteresting to most students.</p>
<p>Luckily, local moves are made towards integrating Open Science values into programmes. In our presentation, we will give examples of such innovations in scientific education that are reshaping curricula, such as courses on replication and good research practices, as well as using and teaching open-source statistical software. Some innovative ways of incorporating Open Science practices in student projects challenge entrenched ideas about education. Think of podcast making as a research output to (partially) replace a written thesis. This goes well beyond Open Education; in our view, scientific education will need to find ways to integrate all building blocks of Open Science, from Open Data to public engagement, into university curricula.</p>
<p>These new approaches have a diverse impact. They provide tools for students who want to pursue an academic career, moreover, some initiatives (like podcast making) give students a considerably broader toolkit, with applicability beyond the academy. We will explain how this attracts and motivates students with wide interests.</p>
<p>Educating students on Open Science is not only beneficial to students themselves, but also to science in general. The student perspective is valuable as it can function as a bridge between the general public and the scientific world; students may ask questions about research and academia that non-academics would not think of asking and academics deem obvious. Therefore, we do not only argue for the importance of Open Science education but also for actively involving students in the Open Science movement - let the future of science have a say in the future of science.<br>

<p>Over the years, the implementation of Open Access has taken various forms, both in the Green and the Gold OA Road. HEAL-Link, the consortium of Greek academic libraries, has established the Scholarly Communication Unit, which is responsible - among others - for publishing analytical reports on the progress of its OA programmes.</p>
<p>As part of its mission, the Unit surveyed the population of all academic members-institutions about what enables and/or prohibits the adoption of OA and achieved proportionate representation according to the size of each institution. The survey -the first on a nationwide level- was limited to a sample of 500 authors, categorized into seven broad scientific fields and represented different age groups and years of experience.</p>
<p>Throughout the survey, the researchers were questioned about several topics, related to their opinion and experience with different aspects of OA and its implementation ways. Our interest was also in their background on OA venues and the reasons for choosing or not open scholarly publishing. Other aspects of open publishing were examined as well, such as their opinion on institutional repositories and their relationship and interaction with them. Lastly, we studied the level of their awareness, when it comes to OA publishing options provided by the consortium.</p>
<p>In this poster, we present the results of this survey, which are crucial for the HEAL-Link, the academic institutions and the broader public to understand the reception of OA, as it also allows comparison with other countries. For instance, four out of five respondents are aware of the Gold OA road and the publication in such journals is widely preferred. Researchers seem to associate open publishing with expectations of greater exposure and increased impact, but at the same time, they are concerned about the high costs that stall its unreserved adoption. Furthermore, while the Green OA Road is widely known, it is not preferred for reasons that are related to the lack of information about the processes, the legal implications, and the use of other services. There is a need for the consortium to raise awareness of the programmes to the researchers and to contribute to a better understanding of what they can do in the OA environment to make their publications properly accessible. The results of the survey are available at <a href="https://scholarly.heal-link.gr/openaccessperceptions-en/">https://scholarly.heal-link.gr/openaccessperceptions-en/</a>.</p>
