Yay! Attending the soft launch of the new International #Repositories Directory (IRD), created under the ausprices of @coar_repositories and led by @paulwalk. Kudos to all involved! The IRD presents a long needed superior model of #repository directory maintenance -- much needed to ensure we can leverage the power of networked repositories and build value added services on top of these repositories.

July 2nd, 2015 - the first DOI was assigned to a dataset in our research data repository RepOD
https://repod.icm.edu.pl/
Today we host almost 60 institutional dataverses and over 2 600 datasets.
You can read more about RepOD here: https://info.repod.icm.edu.pl/?page_id=56&lang=en
@coar_repositories report on the impact of AI bots and crawlers on open repositories:
"The recent rise in aggressive bots activity could potentially result in repositories limiting access to their resources for both human and machine users – leading to a situation where the value of the global repository network is substantially diminished."

'Unfair publisher fees for deposit into #repositories highlight the need for #authors to exercise their rights'
New blog post from @coar_repositories once again pushing against the emergence of "publishers [which] are audaciously seeking to monetize funder mandates by making it more difficult and expensive for authors to share their #articles through repositories."
#COAR (@coar_repositories) is exactly right about what's wrong with the #ACS and #IEEE demands that their authors pay them a fee for the right to deposit their accepted author manuscripts (#AAMs) in #OpenAccess #repositories.
https://coar-repositories.org/news-updates/unfair-publisher-fees-for-deposit-into-repositories-highlight-the-need-for-authors-to-exercise-their-rights/
<blockquote>
* The charges applied are completely arbitrary and not based on any real service provision (for example, IEEE applies a fee to authors who want to apply a CC-BY licence to their AAM; and ACM applies a fee for removing the embargo period). They are just another funding stream for publishers that are already making huge profits.
* Deposit fees disadvantage authors who do not have funding to pay
* These fees amount to #DoubleDipping since the final published version of the AAM is made available behind a paywall with no discount
* This practice prevents universities and research organisations from creating an accessible record of their scholarly output.
</blockquote>
And COAR is exactly right about the solution: author #RightsRetention. When authors retain key rights, they don't need publisher permission to deposit their works in OA repositories -- or to use and reuse them in other important ways as well.
PS: See my similar argument on a related ACS move last year.

Many thanks to @AuthorsAlliance for launching this form to collect author experiences under the new federal #OpenAccess policies, including the #NIH policy.
https://www.authorsalliance.org/fedpublicaccess/
"We are particularly interested in learning about:
* Challenges with #publishers whose policies may disallow their uploading of articles to agency-designated #repositories;
* Common questions or points of confusion expressed by grantees;
* Confusion or questions about agency guidance;
* Other technical, legal, or practical barriers to depositing articles."
Note to #librarians: When you encounter authors facing any kind of problem with a fed OA policy (understanding, compliance, publishing), please refer them to this form. The more we document the problems, the more we can facilitate solutions.

Over the past few months, I went to two core #repositories to sample several #marine #sediment cores and meet some of my new #collaborators in person.
First, the LSCE (Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement UMR 8212) core repository in mid-April.
Second, the EPOC (Environnements et Paléoenvironnements Océaniques et Continentaux UMR 5805) core repository in early June.
Hopefully, these core repository visits would be the first of many!

New study: "#OpenAccess via #repositories (#GreenOA) correlates with higher citation counts and a lower probability of zero citations. In contrast, OA via the publisher's website without an explicit #OpenLicense (#BronzeOA) is associated with higher citation counts but also with a higher probability of zero citations."
