EC/OpenAIRE Gold Open Access Pilot (OpenAIRE2020 WP5)
https://www.openaire.eu/did-you-know/highlights/pilot-launched-to-cover-costs-of-oa-publishing
The Gold OA Pilot: Some Basic Facts (I)
 EUR 4m funding provided by the EC to support Open Access publications from
post-grant FP7 projects finished no longer than 2 years ago.
 Maximum of three publications per project to be funded (research articles,
monographs, book chapters, conference proceedings) which meet the requirements
described in the Pilot policy guidelines (to be shortly released).
 Pilot to be launched at the end of Apr 2015.
 A central funding request system will be set up at the OpenAIRE portal
http://openaire.eu/ for collecting requests from eligible FP7 projects, which
researchers will be able to deliver either directly or via their institution.
The Gold OA Pilot: Some Basic Facts (II)
 A pool of European institutions covering all OpenAIRE regions will work with
LIBER during the Pilot kick-off stage in order to align their strategies for reaching out
to eligible FP7 project researchers and their OA publishing workflows (including
APC management).
 The results of the work carried out by these institutions will be presented and
discussed at the LIBER 2015 Annual Conference in London, where a Gold OA Pilot
workshop will be held, http://www.liber2015.org.uk/workshops/#OpenAire.
 There will be specific Gold OA Pilot outreach activities for the OpenAIRE NOADs in
order to benefit from their collaboration for the Pilot dissemination and implementation
 More information on the Pilot, its planned workflows and its policy guidelines to be
released
soon.

The Gold OA Pilot: Some Areas to Explore
Relying on a pool of collaborating institutions for the Pilot kick-off will offer chances to:
 Align outreach strategies towards eligible FP7 researchers
 Explore researchers' attitudes towards OA publication across disciplines and
OA publishing options (including hybrid and gratis OA journals)
 Explore how willing authors across disciplines may be to keep cost in mind when
choosing the titles they want to submit their manuscripts to
 Explore how the very different research funding landscapes across countries
impact the uptake of this initiative
 Technically align the way the APC information is collected and managed
across institutions and countries (including centrally-managed reporting)
 Coordinate the strategy for disseminating the results of the Pilot's kick-off stage
to the rest of European institutions

interesting synergies to potentially exploit

[Draft] PASTEUR4OA European-Wide Case Study: Summary
Some statistics about national repository networks:
not just about IR numbers
CRIS/IR interoperability at national level a potential
game-changer for OA implementation
http://dspacecris.eurocris.org/handle/11366/116
CRIS/IR interoperability at national level the Norwegian way...
http://dspacecris.eurocris.org/handle/11366/116
… and the SK-CRIS case
What if...
... Open Access to full-text publications could be directly offered from the
National CRIS where the repository network is not sufficiently strong?
... the same interoperability concept could eventually be applied to
research data?
Take-home message
An effective communication and collaboration need to take place
between the Open Access (OA) and the Research Information Mgt
(RIM) communities in order to explore the synergies between them
Best practices are already happening that can be learnt from
Thanks!
