Un’infrastruttura pubblica per l’accesso aperto in Europa: una proposta | AISA

From Google Translate: "The proposal presents a possible infrastructure model that involves various stakeholders, research funders, policy makers, academic and research communities as data producers and magazines / articles, professional societies and scientific associations , university libraries and their managers repository (a chart illustrating the model well). Everyone contributes to the construction and operation of the infrastructure carrying the part of work that is within its jurisdiction.

This infrastructure is managed by the scientific community together with other stakeholders in a public and private partnership, would obviate a series of distortions and bottlenecks (to name a few, the pernicious effects of publish or perish , IF, the limits metrics of ' current peer reviewing etc.) opening up to new ways of communication that will not compromise the quality, but do not remain clinging to the traditional paradigm magazine-article, the current evaluation systems, and without being held hostage to the commercial publishers and keep alive obsolete practices that do not take advantage of technology in fostering scientific advancement and dissemination of knowledge.  On the blog of OpenAIRE, Tony Ross Hellauer commented on the post, pointing out that it is preferable to a participatory model and federated rather than a monolithic approach, which in turn would create a form of monopoly emphasizing the contribution that OpenAIRE could give, as it has already implemented services that go in the same direction, that the European Open Science Cloud could be the natural home for this initiative and that the thorny pù point is, as always, define governance."
