Actions Review
http://go.egi.eu/vt-scirep-actions
  • about PRACE best practices:
    • Burcu: no answer yet; DEISA/PRACE they have calls to assign resources, no clear indication of repositories for publications, in DEISA website, publications up to 2010; from PRACE no public information
  • about OpenAIRE
    • Genevieve: the final client of EGI is a researcher who probably does not know what is EGI; in France, it is difficult to know who is the final researcher; the people who can oblige them are those who provide money; as NGI, is difficult to oblige them
    • Burcu: at first step you need to convince the researcher to put the standard text in the publication; in most cases, they forget
    • Burcu: we can provide some award process


Emerging positions:

  • 1. Obligations: we should put obligations in the Grid AUP for the researchers about adding acknowledgment for using EGI/NGI resources; we understand that increasing the awareness and importance of following them is not easy; this should be coupled with:
    • a. a good communication plan
    • b. award program (e.g., the best publication of the last 6 months is selected and one author invited to EGI Community/Technical Forum)
    • c. strong presence in user interfaces (e.g., on science gateways or command-line interface tools used by researchers, EGI website, NGI website, campaign through EGI Champions, dissemination through site admin, footer in the GGUS tickets)
  • 2. EGI should have its own repository:
    • a. it could cover either just the metadata or also the upload of the publication
    • b. it should be integrated with OpenAIRE to feed automatically EU-funded publications into it and comply with EU open access policies
    • c. decision to be made
      • option a: researchers are asked to feed data into their closest repository; if not available, can use the EGI one; mechanisms for harvesting from EGI should be envisioned in this case
      • option b: researchers should always put their publication reference in the EGI repository; this should be made as much easy as possible, e.g. just add a URL (e.g., Handle)

Wilhelm: suggest to put all the content from the google docs in the wiki, he can help with the formatting being a mediawiki expert (added action for Sergio)
