 Join CORE at The Big Migration Conference

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. read more...

The Joint Conference on Digital Libraries has accepted two papers of CORE

Members of the CORE Team have been working on submissions for the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) and today we are extremely happy to inform our readers that our two teams have both received acceptance notices. Doctors  Bikash Gyawali, Nancy Pontika and Petr Knoth have been working on “Open Access 2007-2017: Country and University Level Perspective” while David Pride and Dr. Petr Knoth worked on another submission entitled, “An Authoritative Approach to Citation Classification”.

Assessing Compliance with the UK REF 2021 Open Access Policy

The recent increase in Open Access (OA) policies has brought forth important questions concerning the effect these policies have on the practice of publishing Open Access. In particular, is there evidence to support that mandating OA increases the proportion of OA outputs (in other words, do authors comply with relevant policies)? Furthermore, does mandating OA reduce the time from acceptance to the public availability of research outputs, and can compliance with OA mandates be effectively tracked? This work studies compliance with the UK REF 2021 Open Access policy. We use data from CrossRef and from CORE to create a dataset containing 1.6 million publications. We show that after the introduction of the UK OA policy, the proportion of OA research outputs in the UK has increased significantly, and the time lag between the acceptance of a publication and its Open Access availability has decreased, although there are significant differences in compliance between different repositories. We have developed a tool that can be used to assess publications’ compliance with the policy based on a list of DOIs. read more...
