A user journey in OpenAIRE services through the lens of repository managers

Abstract

OpenAIRE is the European Union initiative for an Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe1 that aims to establish an open and sustainable scholarly communication infrastructure responsible for the overall management, analysis, manipulation, provision, monitoring and cross-linking of all research outcomes (publications, related datasets, software and services) across existing, planned and future repositories. In the new phase of OpenAIRE, among the project’s goals, there is the one to repackage OpenAIRE services providing them as complete products to the final users. This workshop puts forward an interactive session aiming to provide detailed information on the main services and tools targeting content providers and in which OpenAIRE team foresee to collect contributions from the repository manager’s community to further develop the portfolio of services offered by OpenAIRE. The workshop provides an interactive demo of the dashboard for content providers tools (repositories registration and validation, collection monitor and content enrichments), detailing mainly the catch-all broker service functionalities, such as the metadata enrichments and the usage statistics service. Additionally, this all day workshop introduces attendees the new content acquisition policy, the Guidelines for Literature Repository Managers version 4.0 and the OpenAIRE graph, aiming to gather feedback to better provide support and training targeting content providers managers around European research institutions and beyond.
