AN UPDATE ON SHARE DLF Forum
Eric Celeste, SHARE Technical Director, [email protected] 27 October 2014
WHAT WE’VE BEEN DOING
Joint initiative of ARL, AAU, APLU (Summer 2013)
Incorporated community feedback (through 2013)
Convened advisory board and working groups
Presented initial SHARE vision (December 2013)
Developed Notification Service Plan (early 2014)
IMLS and Sloan Support for NS (Summer 2014)
Building prototype Notification Service (ongoing)
Beginning to plan for “registry”
WHAT WE ARE ABOUT
Facilitating preservation,
access, and reuse
of research output.
Infrastructure
Workflow Policy
CENTER FOR OPEN SCIENCE
“We foster openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scientific research”
centerforopenscience.org & osf.io
STATUS AT END OF SUMMER
Planned for 3 platforms, 5 institutions, 2 agencies, and 5 publishers, 50 research release events, including papers and data. COS harvesting data from Clinical Trials, DOE’s SciTech and Pages, PLoS, UC eScholarship, Wayne State Digital Commons, VTechWorks, NLM PubMedCentral, CrossRef, arXiv, and DataONE. Experimental RSS feed to see output.
RESEARCH RELEASE EVENT REPORTS
Only a dozen sources (how do you count CrossRef?)
Over 40,000 reports
PROTOTYPE PLANS THIS FALL
Plans for prototype expansion include: 10 more campus sites from DuraSpace and bepress; More data, perhaps Data Management Plans; At least one more agency; 150 more research release events.
NEXT STEPS
Push protocol Creation of a “push API” to make participation simpler for some sources.
Consumption of notifications Provide subscription methods Recruit trial subscribers and use cases
Public release Early 2015 beta release Fall 2015 first full release
SOME EARLY LESSONS
Clarity about intent to share. Some sites not sure about their right to, for example, share abstracts.
Encourage collection of vital metadata. Most of our sources do not even collect email addresses of authors, much less more effective identifiers such as ORCID or ISNI. Most sources make no effort to collect funding information or grant award numbers. We need this data to make effective notifications. Importance of the SHARE Registry. Some consumers will want the enhanced records it will provide.

CHALLENGES
Adoption of key identifiers not yet widespread, requires international collaboration, Inferences prone to error, Duplicate detection difficult, Scale quite large, not well understood, This is a never-ending task requiring sustainable funding and governance.
BENEFITS
Researchers can keep everyone informed by keeping anyone informed, Institutions can assemble more comprehensive record of impact, Open access advocates can hold publishers accountable for promises, Relationships between narrative and supporting works more evident.
