“…OpenAIRE retrieved copies of 123 articles (70.2%) deposited in 41 of the 66 IR identified. This figure reflects the shortcomings of several repositories in terms of coverage prior to their more-recent expansion (Rettberg & Schmidt, 2015).…”

“…OpenAIRE (Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe) was created in 2009 to monitor compliance with the European Union's OA policy, although its scope has recently been expanded to cover further financing bodies (Rettberg & Schmidt, ). It covers more than 900 data providers, including European and non‐European repositories, of which 58 are Spanish IRs .…”

This paper explores the usefulness of OpenAIRE, BASE, Recolecta, and Google Scholar (GS) for evaluating open access (OA) policies that demand a deposit in a repository. A case study was designed focusing on 762 financed articles with a project of FIS‐2012 of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III, the Spanish national health service's main management body for health research. Its finance is therefore subject to the Spanish Government OA mandate. A search was carried out for full‐text OA copies of the 762 articles using the four tools being evaluated and with identification of the repository housing these items. Of the 762 articles concerned, 510 OA copies were found of 353 unique articles (46.3%) in 68 repositories. OA copies were found of 81.9% of the articles in PubMed Central and copies of 49.5% of the articles in an institutional repository (IR). BASE and GS identified 93.5% of the articles and OpenAIRE 86.7%. Recolecta identified just 62.2% of the articles deposited in a Spanish IR. BASE achieved the greatest success, by locating copies deposited in IR, while GS found those deposited in disciplinary repositories. None of the tools identified copies of all the articles, so they need to be used in a complementary way when evaluating OA policies.

An increasing number of researchers support reproducibility by including pointers to and descriptions of datasets, software and methods in their publications. However, scientific articles may be ambiguous, incomplete and difficult to process by automated systems. In this paper we introduce RO-Crate, an open, community-driven, and lightweight approach to packaging research artefacts along with their metadata in a machine readable manner. RO-Crate is based on Schema.org annotations in JSON-LD, aiming to establish best practices to formally describe metadata in an accessible and practical way for their use in a wide variety of situations. An RO-Crate is a structured archive of all the items that contributed to a research outcome, including their identifiers, provenance, relations and annotations. As a general purpose packaging approach for data and their metadata, RO-Crate is used across multiple areas, including bioinformatics, digital humanities and regulatory sciences. By applying “just enough” Linked Data standards, RO-Crate simplifies the process of making research outputs FAIR while also enhancing research reproducibility. An RO-Crate for this article11 https://w3id.org/ro/doi/10.5281/zenodo.5146227 is archived at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5146227.

“…Some of the most mature and well-funded OA policies are being implemented in the United Kingdom and European Union, where the U.K. Higher Education Funding Council and the European Commission have adopted OA policies that promote compliance through archiving in institutional repositories, creating an imperative for research institutions to invest in related services and infrastructure (Harnad, 2015; Kerridge & Ward, 2014). The European Commission is also directly funding the development of Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe, which includes a suite of support services for authors, an online portal for reporting and discovering articles made available across hundreds of OA repositories, and a sophisticated general-purpose repository for cases where an institutional or subject repository is not available (Rettberg & Schmidt, 2015).…”

This essay explores factors underlying the underutilization of Open Access (OA) to make education research literature freely available online, where it can benefit a global audience of researchers, students, teachers, and policymakers. Situating this autobiographical self-study in the context of the broader global and scholarly context, we use Bullough and Pinnegar’s (2001) setting-convocation-resolution approach to present our stories as points of departure for reflection, conversation, research, and action. We do so to raise awareness and enhance understanding of the complex and rapidly evolving legal, ethical, and practical issues surrounding public accessibility to scholarship. We also issue a call to action by outlining concrete, stakeholder-specific steps that would help OA become the new default for publication of education research.
