Challenge: Research diversity

A wide variety of research communities

Digital Archaeology

Challenge: Publication diversity

A wide range of publication formats: books, journals, conferences, academic blogs…

NARCIS: Gateway to scholarly information in The Netherlands

Enhanced publications: ‘an Enhanced Publication is a new form of communication in science, where researchers make publications available online in conjunction with other material’

public funded research = a public good

DARIAH principles

Attribution is essential

Encourage systematic use of a Creative Commons CC-BY licence – supporting systematic attribution (and thus citation) of the source

academic primacy vs. increased citation

Alleviate the fear

http://www.cendari.eu/

CENDARI Data Sharing Agreement

Seamless interconnections

experimental new models which articulate seamless interconnections between blogs, digital

primary sources (from WW1 archives to musicology) and… publications

Innovation?

Scientific publication is a quickly evolving environment…

Open electronic publishing

http://www.revues.org/

Freemium

http://www.openedition.org/8873

Towards a robust repository network?

Variety of existing settings for research publications, is one single place for research output

necessarily a good thing?

HAL: Human sciences repository

http://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/

OpenAIRE compliance

Towards a DARIAH repository?

Discussion points?

•Complex group of communities •Scientific publications are quickly evolving •Towards a robust repository network?
