EGI-InSPIRE RI Virtuous Cycle 18/09/ Researchers Crunch Data with EGI & Get Results Researchers Publish Results EGI celebrates & communicates Success attract more funding EGI continuously innovates Researchers may not know that benefit from EGI EGI cannot easily harvest information

EGI-InSPIRE RI Goal of the VT What: –Define recommendations for policies, procedures and tools to improve the process of collecting scientific publications that used EGI resources for better demonstrating the EGI impact on science How : - Virtual Team project: from 20/06 to early October 18/09/2012 3

EGI-InSPIRE RI How to Tackle this Problem 1.Collection of current practices from various organisations 2.Defining a schema for data to collect and from whom 3.Draft policy for researchers to cite EGI and to report scientific outcome 4.Analysis of tools suitable to collect and defining recommendations 5.Define a process in alignment with European policies 6.Define a communication plan to increase awareness of the new process 7.Write report with recommendations for the EGI Council 4 18/09/2012

EGI-InSPIRE RI Progress and Plans Achievements (all documented in the wiki) –Collected current practices from 10 organisations –Drafted policy amendment for Grid User AUP –Drafted schema of info to collect –Analysed OpenAIRE and EU open access policies –Found potential partners to develop common solutions Next steps –This workshop to collect feedback –Write proposal for EGI Council with recommendations (early October) 18/09/2012 5

EGI-InSPIRE RI EGI-InSPIRE EGI-InSPIRE RI Policy 18/09/ What obligations should be defined for EGI users and where?

EGI-InSPIRE RI Policy: Where User Grid Acceptable Use Policy Explicitly accepted by users as part of the VOMS registration 18/09/2012 7

EGI-InSPIRE RI Policy: Cite EGI Acknowledgment of EGI and Resources Used: Acknowledgment of support from EGI/NGIs should appear in the publication of any material (whether copyrighted or not) that is based on or developed wholly or partially with EGI/NGIs resources. Papers, presentations, and other publications that feature work that relied on EGI/NGIs resources, services or expertise should include the following acknowledgement: –"This work used the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI).” –"This work used the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) through the National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) from the following countries: COUNTRY1, COUNTRY2,....” –"This work used the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) through the following National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs): NGI-XX, NGI-YY.” 18/09/ How does a researcher know that he/she is using EGI/NGIs resources? What about EIROs? (EGI/NGIs/EIROs)

EGI-InSPIRE RI Policy: Tell EGI Deposit of scientific publications: If you are an author of a peer-reviewed scientific publication that relied on EGI resources, services or expertise you must ensure that they are deposited in the EGI Scientific Publications repository (pub.egi.eu) within three months of publication 18/09/ Deposit only metadata or also document?

EGI-InSPIRE RI EGI-InSPIRE EGI-InSPIRE RI Data Schema 18/09/ What data should be collected by EGI?

EGI-InSPIRE RI The deposit into the EGI repository is a secondary deposit –Researchers already deposit their publication in their institutional repositories –Minimise burden Approach: –Ask a minimal set of metadata that eventually enable to automatically retrieve of all relevant metadata Requires appropriate tool 18/09/

EGI-InSPIRE RI What Classification for Subjects? The current EGI classification is too narrow We should adopt a standard classification –Library of Congress –Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) –… repo#info-eu-repo-ClassificationSchemes 18/09/

EGI-InSPIRE RI Option 1: Install own repository service (e.g. based on dspace) + can store publications, under control for customiz. - installation, customisation, maintenance costs Option 2: Collaborate with OpenAIRE to expand their service + outsourced, EC-friendly, leverage investments - less control on customisation 18/09/
