OpenAIRE Dashboard for Content Providers: Open Science as-a-Service for literature and data repositories

Abstract

This presentation aims to present the new OpenAIRE service for content providers, the Content Provider Dashboard, and how their functionalities can help repository managers enriching their collections. The OpenAIRE Content Provider Dashboard is a one-stop-shop web service where content providers (repository, data archive, journal, aggregator, CRIS systems) interact with OpenAIRE. In the context of the global information space, content providers are facing new challenges to manage their collections, namely the interoperability with other interfaces, the metadata exposition and the impact measure of their collections. The OpenAIRE Dashboard for Content Providers provides the front-end access to many of OpenAIRE's backend services to support content providers facing this challenges, such as the validation service to see how to apply the OpenAIRE Guidelines to expose contents using global standards, the registration in OpenAIRE to reach a wider audience around the world, the Catch-all Broker service to enrich metadata and get connections between different content typologies, and the Usage Statistics service to measure the impact through the usage activity. Beyond of the service presentation, it is aimed to highlight the user value of the service, which is mainly: enhance repository collections and content for more visibility and access; improve institution memory; better institution research assessment and compliance with funder rules.
