OpenCitations, DOAB and OAPEN and PKP latest services to earn
SCOSS recommendation
The Global Sustainability Coalition
for Open Science Services (SCOSS) is calling on the international scholarly
community to support three vetted and vital open infrastructure services.
The services are:
- The Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), a digital directory of peer reviewed Open Access books and Open Access book publishers; and Open Access Publishing in European Networks (OAPEN), a growing repository of freely accessible academic books;
- The Public Knowledge Project (PKP), a university initiative that creates open source software and services, including Open Journal Systems (OJS), which is used to publish more than 9,000 OA journals worldwide.
- OpenCitations, a scholarly infrastructure service that provides open bibliographic and citation data.
LIBER backs the
SCOSS call to support these services because it is in-line with our goal of
ensuring that Open Access is the main
form of Scholarly Communication by 2022. This cannot be achieved
without the robust and viable support of key infrastructures.
SCOSS is appealing
to academic institutions and their libraries, research institutes, funding
organisations, national and regional governments, international organisations,
learned societies and service providers —everyone who is invested in Open
Access and Open Science — to consider supporting one or more of these services
through a three-year commitment.
