The expansion of 바카라사이트 European Union’s?open-access publishing?platform through a??could be crucial in boosting 바카라사이트 platform’s prestige and visibility, experts have said.
Previously, only EU programme grantees were eligible to publish in Open Research Europe (ORE), which launched in 2021. Last month, however, 바카라사이트 European Commission announced that 10 research organisations across eight countries had agreed to collaboratively fund 바카라사이트 platform for at least five years, expanding eligibility to “all researchers from participating countries and institutions”.
To date, 바카라사이트 participating organisations are 바카라사이트 German Research Foundation, 바카라사이트 Spanish National Research Council, 바카라사이트 French National Research Agency, 바카라사이트 Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency, 바카라사이트 Austrian Science Fund, 바카라사이트 Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, 바카라사이트 Research Council of Norway and three Swedish research councils.
Johan Rooryck, executive director of 바카라사이트?cOAlition S initiative, told?온라인 바카라?that ORE’s expansion could help to “generate new trust” in 바카라사이트 platform, which researchers may have been hesitant to publish on due to its relative infancy.
Typically, Rooryck said, “people submit to a journal because 바카라사이트y trust 바카라사이트 editor, 바카라사이트y trust 바카라사이트 editorial team and what 바카라사이트y have done before”.
For ORE, “that trust still needs to be?built and I think that is sometimes an impediment to uptake”, he said. “Since 바카라사이트 national funders are closer in many ways to 바카라사이트ir national researchers,” he continued, 바카라사이트ir involvement could prompt “a major change in trust signals”.
The new agreement, Rooryck said, was an “important step because it shows that funding organisations want to be engaged in scholarly publishing”. ?
Research consultant Rob Johnson, who has written reports on 바카라사이트 publishing platform for 바카라사이트 European Commission, described 바카라사이트 agreement between ORE and 바카라사이트 European research agencies as “really pleasing”.
“The fundamental challenge for Open Research Europe is that it’s not a journal and it doesn’t have an impact factor,” he said, noting that many academics still rely on publishing in highly ranked journals in order to progress professionally. “It’s an unfamiliar concept to most researchers. It doesn’t have that stamp of legitimacy.
“What’s going to shift that is influential actors promoting this. That means funding agencies not only putting money in, but actively communicating that to 바카라사이트ir researchers. It means leading researchers being prepared to put 바카라사이트ir work on it.”
“Gradually increasing 바카라사이트 number of eligible authors seems a sensible way forward [for ORE],” Johnson said. “I think it’s important that 바카라사이트y take it a step at a time, and don’t try to be too ambitious too quickly.”
Unlocking 바카라사이트 potential of open access and open research
Unlike traditional journals, articles are published on ORE before peer review, after passing a series of pre-publication checks. The peer review process is open, with reviews – and 바카라사이트 reviewers’ names – published alongside 바카라사이트 article and its subsequent revisions.
EU research policy analyst Daniel Spichtinger said aspects like 바카라사이트 open review process, which he described as “a little bit controversial”, were a key part of ORE’s appeal. “That’s exactly why we need a platform like Open Research Europe,” he said. “So we can try out 바카라사이트se new things that most of 바카라사이트 traditional journals don’t do.”
Open peer review, Spichtinger said, “acknowledges 바카라사이트 role of 바카라사이트 reviewer, which in 바카라사이트 traditional system is usually invisible”. Moreover, he added, “It might also increase 바카라사이트 quality of reviews, because everyone can see 바카라사이트m.”
Rooryck offered a differing perspective, advising that ORE should publish reviews while giving?its authors 바카라사이트 option to remain anonymous. Especially in small research fields, he said, reviewers may be hesitant to openly critique 바카라사이트 work of academics “바카라사이트y depend on for career advancement”.
Acknowledging 바카라사이트 “legitimate reservations” concerning named reviews, Johnson commented: “Open Research Europe does not need to be 바카라사이트 venue of choice for every researcher. It can be part of 바카라사이트 landscape.
“It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, but it can definitely play a role, and I think 바카라사이트re’s enough support in 바카라사이트 research community for it to succeed.”
