Summary:
"As of today, the EUI Repository Cadmus is fully OpenAIRE compliant.
OpenAIRE is the tool and infrastructure of the European Commission to promote and monitor Open Access to research publications and data as required for research funded by EU.
Being OpenAIRE compliant means that all full-text publications in Cadmus that are based on research carried out in the framework of ERC and FP7 projects are automatically included in the OpenAIRE portal. OpenAIRE is retrieving data from compliant repositories using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
The ERC/ FP7 funded content is harvested periodically, indexed within the OpenAIRE portal and presented in the OpenAIRE search and browse section.
This is of great importance for the visibility of a project’s research output. In this way, the project publications deposited in Cadmus can be read, used and cited more widely by the global research community.
Search and see the Cadmus entry in the list of Open AIRE compliant Repositories.
The fact that Cadmus is compliant with OpenAIRE is a direct help for faculty members who are project leaders in complying with the Open Access requirements of the European Commission.
In order to be harvested by OpenAIRE, the publications descriptions must contain metadata regarding the project name and grant number, information regarding the type of publication and indication that the publication is available in Open Access. Cadmus staff needs to obtain this information from authors and project directors which full text publications are based on ERC/FP7 funding. OpenAIRE compliancy allows the Cadmus team to offer this additional service to project directors. If you have ERC/FP7-funded research, kindly provide the research outputs to cadmus@eui.eu
