In just 17 days, CORE will be taking part in The Big Migration Conference, a gathering of people working across repositories, libraries, and research infrastructure to shape how scholarly communication continues to evolve.
We’re looking forward to contributing two closely connected sessions that sit at the heart of what we care about at CORE: helping repositories not just participate in open science, but genuinely thrive within it.
The first session, Connecting Repositories, will be presented by Professor Petr Knoth. It offers an overview of CORE as an open scholarly infrastructure indexing millions of open access research outputs from repositories and journals around the world. Beyond the scale, the focus is on what this enables in practice from improving discoverability and reuse of research, to supporting interoperability, metadata quality, and compliance in increasingly complex research environments. It will also touch on some of the work coming out of the Big Scientific Data and Text Analytics Group, including CORE-GPT for trustworthy question answering over scholarly literature, SDG classification of research outputs, and SoFAIR, which supports reproducibility and research software management.
The second session, Unlock the potential of your repository with the CORE Dashboard, will be led by both Petr Knoth and Catherine Kuliavets. This is a more hands-on session aimed at repository managers and librarians, focusing on how the CORE Dashboard can be used to better understand and showcase repository content. We’ll look at how it helps improve discoverability, track metadata quality, understand usage patterns, and support reporting and open access compliance all grounded in real-world use cases from the community.
While each session stands on its own, they are designed to complement each other the first providing a broader infrastructure and research context, and the second focusing on practical tools that can be applied directly within repositories.
If you work with repositories, libraries, or open research infrastructure, we’d really encourage you to join us. It’s a chance to step back, see where things are heading, and explore tools and ideas that can support your day-to-day work in a more connected open research ecosystem.
