Modern Scholarly Communication Research Infrastructures go beyond literature
Data-driven: Jim Gray’s fourth paradigm
software
experiment experiment
service
Dataset publishing Data repositories
Experiment publishing
Web-driven: immediate sharing and access to digital knowledge
Literature publishing Institutional, thematic repositories
Publisher Journal repositories

Modern Scholarly Communication Publishing beyond literature
Literature
(articles)
Datasets
Experiments
Research activity
Comprehensive scientific reward by
citation of any research outcome
Improved understanding of research outcome
Better research review-process [repeatability,
replicability, and reproducibility of
experiments - Goble, 2009]
Effective dissemination and re-use of valuable
research assets
Lower costs of science
Open Access to any Research Outcome OpenScience is good!
Equal opportunities despite of funding
availability
Reduction of the overall cost for tax-payers [Houghton
et al., 2009]
Increase in scientific performance
[Willinsky, 2005]
Higher citation rates [Swan, 2010]
[Wagner, 2010], [Opcit Project, 2012]
Engagement of non-scientific public
[Swan, 2010]
“Open access can be defined as the practice of providing on-line access to scientific information that is free of charge to the end-user and that is re-usable”
Open Access to any Research Outcome Requirements
Implementing scholarly communication workflows (peer-review, deposit, discovery, citation on the Web)
Business models, strategies, mandates in order to remove access limitations
“…online access […] and that is re-usable”
“…is free of charge to the end-user…”
Open Access to any Research Outcome Status
Literature publishing has well-established cross-
discipline scholarly communication
workflows
Experiment publishing does not have scholarly
communication workflows
Dataset publishing has discipline-specific
scholarly communication workflows
Scholarly Communication Workflows and Open Access to Literature
• Journal/conference practices: single-blind, double-blind
• Self-archiving, institutional/thematic/journal repositories
Peer-review and online deposition
• Google Scholar, DBLP, Web of Science, DOAJ, OpenAIRE, etc.
• DOIs, bibliographic metadata formats
Discovery and citation
• Copyrighted, open access, embargo
Access rights Open Access [EC OA mandate, UK-ESRC]
Scholarly Communication Workflows and Open Access to Datasets
• Machine enabled, manual, or absent
• Self-archiving, data archives at data centers (DRYAD, GigaScience, Figshare, OpenAIRE Zenodo, etc.); associated to literature deposition
Peer-review and online deposition
• Data Cite Service, Thematic data archives
• DOIs, accession numbers, DataCite, Dataverse, proprietary formats
Discovery and citation
• Copyrighted, open access, embargo, restricted, etc.
Access rights
Investigations on standard publishing workflows [RDA]
Datasets are still into “drawers”: cultural barriers (e.g. “fear to lose control”), cost of data management [Open Data, EC Data Pilot, Force11]
Open Access [Open Data, EC Data Pilot, UK-ESRC],
Investigations on metadata for citation and re-use [RDA, Force11]
Scholarly Communication Workflows and Open Access to Experiments
• No peer-review practices
• Initial experiment deposition practices (MyExperiment.org)
Peer-review and online deposition
• No citation practices
Discovery and citation
• No practices for experiments
Access rights
Investigations with new forms of publications, digital representations of experiments [Executable papers, wf4ever]
Investigations with new forms of publications, metadata for citation and re-use
Not yet considered an issue
Open Access to datasets and experiments New forms of publications
• Exploiting well-established scholarly communication workflows for literature to make research assets citable and re-usable
Contextualizing research assets to a traditional article
• Data journals
Dedicated journals
• [Executable papers] [Research Objects] [Article of the future (Elsevier)][NARCIS ePubs] [Bardi, 2014]

Open Access to datasets and experiments New trends
• Devising scholarly communication workflows addressing the peculiarities of research products different from literature
Abandoning traditional publishing models
• Science 2.0 Repositories
Publishing workflows within research infrastructures
• Scholarly Communication infrastructures
Publishing workflows as ecosystems of research infrastructures

Open Access to any Research Outcome Scientific and Technological Challenges
• Digital representations and metadata
• Target: Discipline/cross-discipline, type of research outcome
Defining scholarly communication
workflows for datasets and experiments
• Compound Objects
• Dedicated journals, e.g. software New forms of publications
• Embedding publishing workflows in research lifecycle
SciRepos: embedding workflows into research
infrastructures
• Building ecosystems of research infrastructures to enable construction of workflows
