Guidelines
Open access and scientific communication have been promoted through several initiatives over the last ten years. Several information sources and databases have been created with the support of SHERPA and OpenAIRE projects .
Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe (OpenAIRE)
The OpenAIRE portal is a good starting point for researchers to choose a repository. OpenAIRE is an e-Infrastructure designed to promote open science, a portal that seeks to make as much of Europe's research projects, publications and research data available as possible.
The European Research Council (ERC) recommends favoring sector - specific repositories, such as:
Institutional repositories or the multidisciplinary Zenodo, provided by OpenAIRE and managed by CERN, may also be used in their absence.
Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe (2021–2027) is the ninth European Union framework programme for funding research and innovation.
Journal Checker Tool
The Journal Checker Tool is provided by cOAlition S to authors to support them in finding Plan S compliant “routes” through which to publish their articles. The tool allows an author to enter the name of a funder, an institution and the journal to which they plan to submit an article, and checks if this combination of funder, institution and journal offers any route to compliance with Plan S.
Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR)
OpenDOAR is the quality-assured, global Directory of Open Access Repositories. The directory contains repositories that provide free, open access to academic outputs and resources.
Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
DOAJ is a unique and extensive index of diverse open access journals from around the world, driven by a growing community. It is committed to ensuring quality content is openly available online for everyone. DOAJ's mission is to increase the visibility, accessibility, reputation, usage and impact of quality, peer-reviewed, open access scholarly research journals globally, regardless of discipline, geography or language.
Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB)
DOAB is a community-driven discovery service that indexes and provides access to scholarly, peer-reviewed open access books and helps users to find trusted open access book publishers. All DOAB services are free of charge and all data is freely available.
Open Policy Finder
Three Sherpa Services, Sherpa Fact, Sherpa Romeo and Sherpa Juliet, have been combined into a single platform Open Policy Finder. The new platform allows users to:
- check if compliance with funder open access policies can be achieved with a particular journal,
- get a summary of publishers' open access archiving conditions for individual journals and books,
- to see funders’ conditions for open access publication.
