    Research information systems at universities and research institutions - Position Paper of DINI AG FIS
    (Zenodo, 2015) Ebert, Barbara; Tobias, Regine; Beucke, Daniel; Bliemeister, Andreas; Friedrichsen, Eiken; Heller, Lambert; Herwig, Sebastian; Jahn, Najko; Kreysing, Matthias; Müller, Daniel; Riechert, Mathias
    This is the English translation of a position paper published by the German DINI Working Group on Research Information Systems (DINI AG FIS) in 2015. Reporting has become a regular part of science at every level. Researchers are required to report to external funding organisations and sponsors. Management needs an overview of the multitude of research information available in order to be able to make sound decisions and compete successfully for equipment and funding. Public accountability, particularly in terms of financing, has also grown in importance over time. At the same time, universities and research institutions still face major problems when it comes to providing information on research performance. The causes of these problems are often very similar at each institution – distributed data storage without any interfaces, management systems that fail to map research contexts, and limited usability of existing systems when it comes to carrying out differentiated analyses: Specialist and funding databases are managed independently of one another, interfaces and exchange formats simply do not exist, and standardisation options are seldom used when developing such systems. The development of financeable and functional research information systems and, above all, the exchange of existing information are of equal importance as campus management or suitable HR and finance systems when it comes to IT development in scientific institutions. It is difficult to imagine institutions being able to manage processes requiring manual input and annual data requests in the long term. Reporting requirements are also likely to increase over time. This position paper describes specific strategic steps that need to be taken in order to develop long-term research reporting information management processes in German research insttutions. Common standards need to be agreed on as they are a prerequisite both for reducing the considerable amount of work required to run systems and for enabling mobile researchers to transfer their portfolio to various applications and different research institutions. The working group also devised specific practical tips on designing, choosing, introducing and running a system as well as advice with regard to project management. These tips and advice are aimed at institutions wishing to introduce or develop a research information system.

    Wirkungen von Open Access. Literaturstudie über empirische Arbeiten 2010-2021
    (Hannover : Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB), 2022) Hopf, David; Dellmann, Sarah; Hauschke, Christian; Tullney, Marco
    Open Access – die freie Verfügbarkeit wissenschaftlicher Publikationen – bietet intuitiv viele Vorteile. Gleichzeitig existieren weiterhin Vorbehalte unter einigen Wissenschaftler:innen, Mitgliedern der Hochschulverwaltung, Verlagen und politischen Entscheidungsträger:innen. Im letzten Jahrzehnt sind viele empirische Studien zu den Wirkungen von Open Access erschienen. Der vorliegende Bericht liefert eine Übersicht über den Forschungsstand von 2010 bis 2021. Die berichteten empirischen Ergebnisse helfen dabei, die Vor- und Nachteile von Open Access zu bestimmen und dienen als Wissensbasis für Wissenschaftler: innen, Verlage, Institutionen und politische Entscheidungsträger:innen. Ein Überblick über den Wissensstand unterfüttert Entscheidungen zu Open-Access- und Publikationsstrategien. Zudem identifiziert dieser Bericht Aspekte von Open-Access-Wirkungen, die potenziell hohe Relevanz haben, aber noch nicht ausreichend untersucht wurden. Insgesamt können verschiedene Vorteile von Open Access beim jetzigen Forschungsstand als empirisch belegt bewertet werden. Dazu gehören ein verbesserter Wissenstransfer, erhöhte Publikationsgeschwindigkeit und die erhöhte Nutzung durch eine beruflich und geografisch diverse Leser:innenschaft. Zudem können einige vermutete negative Open-Access-Wirkungen – wie eine geringere Qualität von Publikationen und Nachteile beim Verkauf von Druckausgaben – als empirisch widerlegt betrachtet werden. Die empirischen Ergebnisse zu Open-Access-Wirkungen unterstützen daher das Ziel der weitgehenden Transformation zu Open Access, dem sich unter anderem die deutschen Wissenschaftsorganisationen verschrieben haben.

    Erfahrungen mit der nationalen Umsetzung eines internationalen Open-Access-Transformationsprojektes
    (Hannover : Institutionelles Repositorium der Leibniz Universität Hannover, 2021) Ludwig, Judith; Pöche, Alexander
    Die Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) ist die nationale Kontaktstelle für die deutschen Hochschulen für das Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP³). In dieser Funktion organisiert sie die nationale Umsetzung des internationalen Leuchtturmprojekts für Open Access, das die Mitgliedsbeiträge auf Grundlage des Publikationsaufkommens berechnet hat. In diesem Artikel werden die bei der nationalen Etablierung eines internationalen Konsortiums und dessen Finanzierungsmodell gemachten Erfahrungen vorgestellt. Dabei werden zum einen die generellen Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung eines konsortialen Open-Access-Projekts, wie z.B. die Freerider-Problematik, die Kostenverschiebung oder die Konkurrenz von Open-Access-Projekten untereinander, thematisiert. Zum anderen werden die sich aus diesen Herausforderungen abgeleiteten Lösungswege skizziert. Abschließend werden zehn allgemeingültige Erkenntnisse formuliert, die als Hilfestellung für die Umsetzung vergleichbarer Open-Access-Projekte dienen können.

    Towards an Open Research Knowledge Graph
    (Zenodo, 2018) Auer, Sören; Blümel, Ina; Ewerth, Ralph; Garatzogianni, Alexandra; Heller,, Lambert; Hoppe, Anett; Kasprzik, Anna; Koepler, Oliver; Nejdl, Wolfgang; Plank, Margret; Sens, Irina; Stocker, Markus; Tullney, Marco; Vidal, Maria-Esther; van Wezenbeek, Wilma
    The document-oriented workflows in science have reached (or already exceeded) the limits of adequacy as highlighted for example by recent discussions on the increasing proliferation of scientific literature and the reproducibility crisis. Despite an improved and digital access to scientific publications in the last decades, the exchange of scholarly knowledge continues to be primarily document-based: Researchers produce essays and articles that are made available in online and offline publication media as roughly granular text documents. With current developments in areas such as knowledge representation, semantic search, human-machine interaction, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence, it is possible to completely rethink this dominant paradigm of document-centered knowledge exchange and transform it into knowledge-based information flows by representing and expressing knowledge through semantically rich, interlinked knowledge graphs. The core of the establishment of knowledge-based information flows is the distributed, decentralized, collaborative creation and evolution of information models, vocabularies, ontologies, and knowledge graphs for the establishment of a common understanding of data and information between the various stakeholders as well as the integration of these technologies into the infrastructure and processes of search and knowledge exchange in the research library of the future. By integrating these information models into existing and new research infrastructure services, the information structures that are currently still implicit and deeply hidden in documents can be made explicit and directly usable. This revolutionizes scientific work because information and research results can be seamlessly interlinked with each other and better mapped to complex information needs. As a result, scientific work becomes more effective and efficient, since results become directly comparable and easier to reuse. In order to realize the vision of knowledge-based information flows in scholarly communication, comprehensive long-term technological infrastructure development and accompanying research are required. To secure information sovereignty, it is also of paramount importance to science – and urgency to science policymakers – that scientific infrastructures establish an open counterweight to emerging commercial developments in this area. The aim of this position paper is to facilitate the discussion on requirements, design decisions and a minimum viable product for an Open Research Knowledge Graph infrastructure. TIB aims to start developing this infrastructure in an open collaboration with interested partner organizations and individuals.

    Reproducible research through persistently linked and visualized data
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Drees, Bastian; Kraft, Angelina; Koprucki, Thomas
    The demand of reproducible results in the numerical simulation of opto-electronic devices or more general in mathematical modeling and simulation requires the (long-term) accessibility of data and software that were used to generate those results. Moreover, to present those results in a comprehensible manner data visualizations such as videos are useful. Persistent identifier can be used to ensure the permanent connection of these different digital objects thereby preserving all information in the right context. Here we give an overview over the state-of-the art of data preservation, data and software citation and illustrate the benefits and opportunities of enhancing publications with visual simulation data by showing a use case from opto-electronics.

    (2014) Hecher, Martin; Edvardsen, Dag Field; Ochmann, Sebastian; Panitz, Michael; Rofoogaran, Hamid; Gadiraju, Ujwal; Fetahu, Besnik; Hecher, Martin
    This report describes the first version of the integrated software prototype comprising the software prototypes developed in DURAARK so far. It exposes the functionality of the prototypes as a service-oriented platform (the "Workbench") and provides it to stakeholders via a coherent graphical user interface (the "WorkbenchUI"), yielding an integrated application for performing long-term archival tasks for BIM data from the view of a front-end stakeholder. Additionally, the software acts as a service provider for third party developers to be able to integrate the functionality developed in DURAARK in their own (existing) applications. The report guides a stakeholder through the usage of the graphical user interface, describes the components on a technical level and gives interested readers and developers information on how to use the Workbench as a service provider.
