Open Science is creating a paradigm shift and is becoming the norm in research. OpenAIRE offers concrete solutions for the implementation of effective Open Science and seamless integration into the European and the global open scholarly communication ecosystem.
Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) are encompassing all Universities and Institutions that enable researchers to conduct and perform their research and duties by ensuring the presence of infrastructures and (human) resources to support and produce valuable research products (publications, data, software, patents, etc.).
Thousands of organizations have expressed an interest in shifting the new research culture vision, enforcing the need for policy changes in research assessment. The embrace of this vision has been translated into signing several declarations such as the DORA declaration, the Leiden Manifesto, the Metric Tide, and the Hong Kong Principles for Assessing Researchers just to name a few. RPOs are key stakeholders of the more recent Agreement on Research Assessment, being part of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA).
OpenAIRE has been working with experts in training and developing services for making Open Science a common practice for all key actors within the research ecosystem, including RPOs. OpenAIRE’s aim is to shift scholarly communication towards openness and transparency and facilitate innovative ways to communicate and monitor research. To accomplish the aim and contribute to the shift into a new research culture, OpenAIRE wants to collaborate with universities, institutions, and researchcenters.
OpenAIRE has been optimizing guidelines and services to facilitate the uptake and implementation of Open Science infrastructures, aligning with the European and International Policy, being one of the federated e-Infrastructures in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
