CARPET by Carmen Morlon — last modified 15 September, 2010 08:49

Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the CARPET project (Community for Academic Reviewing, Publishing and Editorial Technology) aims at supporting the efficient use of electronic tools and services for scientific publishing.

DRIVER by Carmen Morlon — last modified 15 September, 2010 06:53

DRIVER (Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research) is a multi-phase effort, co-funded by the European Commission, whose vision and primary objective is to establish a cohesive, pan-European infrastructure of Digital Repositories, offering sophisticated functionality services to both researchers and the general public. DRIVER II, the present stage of the project aims at introducing key innovations compared to the original DRIVER project, while building on its results.

OpenAIRE by Carmen Morlon — last modified 15 September, 2010 06:53

A three-year project funded under FP7, OpenAIRE (Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe) unites 38 partners from 27 European countries in order to implement Open Access on a pan-European scale. OpenAIRE aims at supporting the implementation of Open Access in Europe, providing the means to promote and realise the widespread adoption of the Open Access Policy, as set out by the ERC Scientific Council Guidelines for Open Access and the Open Access pilot launched by the European Commission in August 2008.

PEER by Carmen Morlon — last modified 15 September, 2010 06:54

PEER (Publishing and the Ecology of European Research), supported by the EC eContentplus programme, will investigate the effects of the large-scale, systematic depositing of authors’ final peer-reviewed manuscripts (so called Green Open Access or stage-two research output) on reader access, author visibility, and journal viability, as well as on the broader ecology of European research. The project is a collaboration between publishers, repositories and researchers and will last from 2008 to 2011. The aim of PEER is to build a substantial body of evidence, by developing an “observatory” to monitor the effects of systematic archiving over time. STM, the ESF, Gottingen State and University Library, the Max Planck Society and INRIA will collaborate on PEER, supported by the SURF Foundation and the University of Bielefeld, which will contribute the expertise of the EU-funded DRIVER project. The National library of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Bibliotheek) is also participating.

SCOAP3 by Carmen Morlon — last modified 15 September, 2010 06:54

SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics), a new model for OA publishing whereby HEP funding agencies and libraries, which today purchase journal subscriptions to implicitly support the peer-review service, federate to explicitly cover its cost, while publishers make the electronic versions of their journals free to read. Authors are not directly charged to publish their articles OA.
