Important stimulans in general: OA policy from funders.
The European Commission supports OA: translated it into policy for EC funded research projects
Open Access publications and research data are harvested from repositories. But also descriptive metadata will be ingested and linked to publicatios. All this information is cleaned, de-duplicated and linked.
By developing a European-wide research information system
a range of services can be developed.
Harvest publications from different from different sources, presented in clear way on projct page.
Interoperable network appears: publications and data linked to FP7 and Horizon 2020 project information are collected, enriched, deduplicated and disseminated through OpenAIRE.
Offer integrated scientific information: overview of all information in one place
Five funders
a multitude of resources to help with any open access related questions
Still have questions: we have a helpdesk system were you can select an area. It wil bring you into contact with one of our 33 national contact points: NOADs provide support on national level.
