Open Access Publishing Costs in Spain: implementing openCost for DSpace Repositories | DIGITAL.CSIC

Abstract:  The Institutional Repositories Working Group of the Spanish Network of University and CSIC Libraries (REBIUN, https://www.rebiun.org/grupos-trabajo/repositorios) is working on implementing the openCOST metadata schema as there is an interest in showing information about open access publishing costs in a commonly agreed way. The analysis and beta implementation of the metadata schema is being advanced by the DSpace repositories subgroup and ongoing work has focused on identifying the most relevant metadata given the data model in place in such repositories as well as the type and granularity of OA publishing cost information collected by their institutions. The poster gives an overview of progress so far and next steps.
