Open Access of Publications

ISOLDE has a registered community at Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/communities/isolde/.

Zenodo is an open repository for EU research projects and beyond. It generates DOIs for all kinds of artefacts, so it's not limited to papers. In any case, ISOLDE collects “green open access” material there.

Please ensure that all your ISOLDE-related publications are available as open access on Zenodo, following the publishers' embargo rules.

As this data is fed directly into the EU portal for reporting, it only needs to be entered once at Zenodo, making it very easy and saving time and effort.

We ask all partners to make their publications available asap, so that we can include them in our registry and include them in our deliverables. Please do this now.

Requirement

Publications are required to be Open Access:

https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/...

Gold Open Access (paid)

This is what you can find often, that you can pay the publisher to make your publication available with open access. Prices vary usually in the

1000 to 5000 Euro range. Also, this must often be booked with submission.

Green Open Access, "self-archiving" (free)

It is generally permitted to publish your work yourself, but restricted by the publishers, often with an embargo.

The bare minimum is: "To meet this requirement, beneficiaries must, at the very least, ensure that any scientific peer-reviewed publications can be read online, downloaded and printed."

Different Versions

• Preprint: Whatever working state not submitted yet
• Submitted Manuscript: The version you submitted for publication
• Accepted Manuscript: The version after you incorporated changes and ultimately published in Journal or publisher's repository.

Different Repositories

• Own website: Your own website at the university or any other institutional website. This is often not included in Green Open Access publications.
• Institutional repositories: Universities often maintain indexed repositories, this refers to your own institution
• Funder repositories: If Chips JU provides a repository or refers us to one, couldn't find that info ad-hoc. "Open Research Europe" is such a repository
• Disciplinary repositories: Other public open access repository, such aus ArXiv

What to do?

You need to check the publication agreement with your publisher and their FAQs. Actually all of the main ones have precise information about it.

In general, this is good general guidance:

Example: LNCS

We had a paper at a conference that publishes with Springer LNCS. The LNCS publication agreement allows you to publish:

• submitted manuscript wherever you want (but it really has to be the submitted one, before review!), add note to final publication
• accepted manuscript on your own website immediately, add note to final publication
• accepted manuscript on your institutional repository or funder repository after a 12 months embargo, add note to final publication

So, I chose to publish the accepted manuscript on our website and put that link into the ISOLDE registry. I will 12 months after the publication also have it available on my university's repository.

I am happy to assist you with your publication.

Best,

Stefan
