And what happens when Open Access becomes a performance indicator? This interactive online workshop brings together professionals from German and Dutch universities to critically examine how rankings are constructed, how they are used in institutional decision-making, and how institutions can respond more strategically. The workshop is primarily aimed at university management, research and ranking managers, library management staff, Open Access/Open Science officers, bibliometricians, and anyone working at the intersection of research evaluation, rankings and Open Access strategies."   Date: 26.06.2026 Time: 10:00–12:30 CEST Location: Online via Zoom Language: English Registration: https://uni-goettingen.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/V5l2ogCjSu-rzvk5E98U3w Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:28:00 -0400 https://oa-datenpraxis.de/en/events/webinar_20260626.html oa.events oa.universities oa.policies oa.policies.universities oa.incentives oa.assessment oa.strategies oa.new oa.rankings Abstract:  "As Open Access continues to gain importance in science policy, understanding the proportion of Open Access publications relative to the total research output of research-performing organizations, individual countries, or even globally has become increasingly relevant. In response, dashboards are being developed to capture and communicate progress in this area. To provide an overview of these dashboards and their characteristics, an extensive survey was conducted, resulting in the identification of over 60 dashboards. To support a detailed and structured description, a dedicated metadata schema was developed, and the identified dashboards were systematically indexed accordingly. We provide an openly reusable dataset and an interoperable metadata schema that enable comparative and longitudinal analyses of Open Access dashboards across regions and operator types, and we invite the community to reuse, extend, and refine them. The dataset is particularly relevant for researchers in Library and Information Science and Science and Technology Studies, supporting both empirical analyses of Open Access and the methodological refinement of indicators and policy instruments in the context of Open Science."

Currently, they undergo changes and are required to transition to a modern information infrastructure. This study surveys the challenges of this transition for IRs in Germany from the perspective of library and information science. Methods: For this study, we conducted 15 expert interviews with repository managers from the German IR community who are employed at academic libraries. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The sample of interviewees was compiled using a standardized list and the method of purposeful sampling.  Results: We identified five core challenges: Preprints in IRs as means of rapid scholarly communication, the possibilities of effective information management through IRs and current research information systems (CRIS), self-archiving in IRs and the green OA route, the importance of collaborating text and data repositories for Open Science, and the challenges associated with monitoring publication output and costs through IRs. Discussion: We discussed the five core challenges regarding recent developments within the library and repository community, such as the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information, a recent policy-based attempt to harmonize secondary publication rights in Europe, or community projects aimed at providing transparency to publication costs in higher education. Conclusion: IRs’ core mission is to publish, reference, and monitor scholarly output. In doing so, they face challenges that require concerted action by the scholarly and library community in four areas: Providing responsible policies, ensuring demand-based standardization, implementing interoperable IR technology, and establishing resilient workflows.   Keywords: Open Access, repositories, Germany, challenges, innovation How to Cite: Wrzesinski, M., Pampel, H., Rothfritz, L. & Khamis, C.O.

Of the 583 invitees, 258 (44.3%) completed the questionnaire. This survey is the first comprehensive study on the recording of publication costs at RPOs in Germany. The results show that the majority of surveyed RPOs recorded publication costs at least in part. However, procedures in this regard were often non-binding. Respondents' ratings of the reliability of the collection of data on publication costs varied by the source of publication funding. Eighty percent of respondents rated the contribution of collecting data on publication costs to shaping the open access transformation as "very important" or "important." Yet, these data were used as a basis for strategic decisions in only 59% of the surveyed RPOs. Moreover, most respondents considered the implementation of an information budget at their institutions by 2025 unlikely. We discuss the implications of these findings for the open access transformation."

Betrachtet werden Publikationsinitiativen, die von Forschenden, wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen wie Hochschulen und außeruniversitären Einrichtungen oder Fachgesellschaften organisiert werden und somit als wissenschaftlich geleitet verstanden werden können. Ein Blick auf diese Initiativen zeigt, dass solche Publikationsinfrastrukturen in unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen mit und ohne Publikationsdienstleister organisiert werden. Organisationsformen, Finanzierungsmodelle und technische Infrastrukturen werden je nach Trägerschaft der Infrastrukturen unterschiedlich ausgestaltet. Die Konferenz wird Raum für die Diskussion aktueller Fragestellungen rund um diese Infrastrukturen bieten. Dabei sollen die Schnittpunkte der unterschiedlichen Initiativen herausgearbeitet und Perspektiven für das wissenschaftsgeleitete Open-Access-Publizieren eröffnet werden. Ein Schwerpunkt der Befassung liegt auf der Betrachtung des Zusammenspiels von Wissenschaft und Informationsinfrastruktur. Im Vorfeld des Events wird vom Programmkomitee ein Thesenpapier zur Zukunft von wissenschaftsgeleiteten Open-Access-Publizieren formuliert. Ziel des Papiers ist es, aktuelle Chancen und Herausforderungen beim wissenschaftsgeleiteten Open-Access-Publizieren in Deutschland zu adressieren. Das Thesenpapier wird auf der Veranstaltung vorgestellt und mit den Teilnehmenden diskutiert. Ziel ist es, aus der Veranstaltung Impulse für die Weiterentwicklung dieser Publikationsinfrastrukturen zu ermöglichen. Dabei steht die Lösungsorientierung im Fokus. Die Diskussion steht im Mittelpunkt der Konferenz. Daher gliedern sich die meisten Vorträge in einen 10-minütigen Vortrag und eine 10-minütige Diskussion.

The call for the greatest possible cost transparency and cost efficiency in the system as a whole forms the core of the actions of the science organizations in the context of their Open Access Strategy 2021–2025. The criteria are organized into the following aspects: journal transformation, pricing; transparency, workflow, preprints, metadata and interfaces, statistics, tracking, and waivers.

The present Helmholtz Open Science Policy is organized into three sections. In the section “A. Strategic Positioning,” the Helmholtz Association formulates a commitment to open science in accordance with the principle “as open as possible and as closed as necessary.” In the section “B. Monitoring,” Helmholtz makes a commitment to open science on the basis of the three current focus areas (open access, open research data, and open research software) through specific and verifiable objectives. In the section “C. Implementation and Common Requirements,” in line with the funding policy of the European Commission, open science practices are formulated for implementation purposes.

Considering the variety of funding strategies for article processing charge (APCs), the array of cost types for scientific information and the need for data monitoring to promote cost transparency, an integrated view of the financial dimension of the OA transition is needed. This commentary describes the need for implementing an information budget that looks beyond just the library budget and comprehensively targets all financial flows from universities and other research performing organizations to publishers. An information budget promotes an integrated perspective on the distributed costs at a given institution. This centralized approach of assessing financial flows can be used to strengthen the position of research institutions when negotiating with publishers.

In many disciplines, the accessibility and subsequent use of scientific results - called for under the heading of Open Science - can only be ensured if, in addition to research data, program code is also made openly accessible. This checklist is aimed at decision-makers in the Helmholtz centers who are concerned with the implementation of guidelines for sustainable research software. It supplements a model guideline (https://doi.org/10.2312/os.helmholtz.007) that already provides the centers with a guiding and reusable template for the creation of regulations for the sustainable use of research software.

Between September 2020 and May 2021, participants in the online workshops were able to deepen their knowledge of Open Access to scientific publications and copyright law and discuss examples of use from their own practice. The management of the host universities also made use of the offer for advisory talks on topics such as the introduction of an OA guideline, the integration of OA into publication workflows or the establishment of a fund for OA publication fees at the university.

The registry provides substantial information about research data repositories (RDR) directly for researchers. In addition to this, several other services reuse re3data metadata about RDR to provide additional services for their target audiences (be it individuals or institutions). To adapt re3data and its metadata to the current needs of involved stakeholders the re3data COREF project conducted a stakeholder survey and held a series of workshops at the end of 2020. Participants were asked about the ways they already use re3data and how they would like to use re3data in the future. The results and findings of the survey, presentations, and discussions are documented and have been published in the re3data Stakeholder Survey and Workshop Report. This report represents the basis of the Conceptual Model for User Stories, published in August 2021.  Tue, 31 Aug 2021 02:37:00 -0400 https://coref.project.re3data.org/blog/from-workshops-to-the-new-model-of-user-stories-for-re3data-a-journey oa.new oa.data oa.repositories.data oa.repositories oa.surveys oa.anecdotes This is the 87th Helmholtz Open Science Newsletter brought to you by the Helmholtz Open Science Office in German and English language.

We study three forms of responses to these preprints: downloads on the arXiv.org site, mentions on the social media site Twitter, and early citations in the scholarly record. We perform two analyses. First, we analyze the delay and time span of article downloads and Twitter mentions following submission, to understand the temporal configuration of these reactions and whether one precedes or follows the other. Second, we run regression and correlation tests to investigate the relationship between Twitter mentions, arXiv downloads and article citations. We find that Twitter mentions and arXiv downloads of scholarly articles follow two distinct temporal patterns of activity, with Twitter mentions having shorter delays and narrower time spans than arXiv downloads. We also find that the volume of Twitter mentions is statistically correlated with arXiv downloads and early citations just months after the publication of a preprint, with a possible bias that favors highly mentioned articles Tue, 18 Sep 2012 07:10:00 -0400 http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.2461 oa.new oa.arxiv oa.social_media oa.preprints oa.versions oa.downloads oa.twitter oa.citations oa.altmetrics oa.metrics oa.impact Helmholtz Open Access Newsletter Nr. 41 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 05:07:00 -0400 http://oa.helmholtz.de/index.php?id=321 oa.new oa.german oa.germany oa.newsletters
