GraspOS Training
Leveraging OPERAS Metrics: showing the impact of Open Access books
26 November 2024, 13:00-15:00 CET 

The training session will shed light on OPERAS Metrics, a database providing usage and impact information for published Open Access (OA) books. 

In the first part of the training, the key features and benefits of OPERAS Metrics will be presented, including its role in aggregating data from different sources to provide a comprehensive view of OA book usage. The session will also discuss how OPERAS Metrics fits into broader research assessment practices, addressing the Open Science-aware perspective of the GraspOS project.
In the second part of the training, participants will take part in a hands-on technical training where they will receive step-by-step guidance on how to use OPERAS Metrics.

The training targets researchers and research support staff, namely librarians, working with OA books, and authors and publishers of OA books enhance their understanding of the platform and its relevance in research evaluation.

Presenters: Carol Delmazo (OPERAS), Fotis Mystakopoulos (OPERAS), Maxim Kupreyev (OPERAS), Rowan Hatherley (Ubiquity Press), Cristian Garcia (Ubiquity Press)

Moderator: Zenia Xenou (OpenAIRE)

GraspOS Webinars

Assessing Open Access Books: Shedding Light on Peer Review with PRISM

The webinar presented the Peer Review Information Service for Monographs (PRISM) and discussed how it can be used in research assessment.

PRISM is a service developped by OPERAS which aims to enhance trust in Open Access book publishing through increased transparency in the peer review process, offering publishers a standardised platform to display their peer review procedures, integrate metadata, ultimately building trust in Open Access book publishing. 

Learning outcomes: 

  • Understand peer review in relation to Responsible Research Assessment; 
  • Learn how PRISM works and how it helps increase transparency in Peer Review for OA books;
  • Reflect on how PRISM could be useful in the context of Responsible Research Assessment. 

Date: 14th May 2024, 10:00-11:00 am CEST
Presenters: Carol Delmazo (OPERAS), Fotis Mystakopoulos (OPERAS), Ronald Snijder (OAPEN Foundation). 
Moderator: Lottie Provost (CNR)
Venue: Virtual event via Zoom supported by OpenAIRE AMKE

The Open Science Assessment Framework 

This webinar focused on the Open Science Assessment Framework (OSAF) developed in GraspOS. 

The OSAF is one of the main outcomes of the project. It aims to assist research funding and performing organisations in tailoring and implementing new generation, Open Science aware Responsible Research Assessment approaches.

Date: 7th March 2024, 14:00-15:00 pm CET
Presenters: Clifford Tatum (CWTS), Josefine Nordling (CSC)
 Moderator: Lottie Provost (CNR)
Venue: Virtual event via Zoom supported by OpenAIRE AMKE
Slides: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.10794054

 

GraspOS Tools and Services Training Series

Citations and their meaning – or why we cite

This training session shed light on the various dynamics behind citations. Ontological models for the characterisation of citations were presented, along with the fundamentals for using a tool to infer citation characterisation.

Learning outcomes: 

  • Understand the importance of citation semantics
  • Learn about ontological models dedicated to describing citation semantics
  • Be able to use a tool for extracting citation semantics

Date: 23rd July 2024, 14.00 – 15.00 CET
Presenter: Silvio Peroni (University of Bologna) 
Moderator: Zenia Xenou (OpenAIRE)
Venue: Virtual event via Zoom supported by OpenAIRE AMKE
Slides: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.12800674. 

 

Indicators for Institutions - OpenAIRE MONITOR. Acknowledge, understand and place thyselves in the research landscape unlocking Research Excellence.

This training session focused on how the institutional dashboard of the OpenAIRE MONITOR service can enhance research assessment and decision-making processes for institutions. By providing comprehensive Open Access, collaboration, and impact metrics and indicators, this dashboard offers a nuanced understanding of an institution's research landscape.

Date: 19th December 2023, 10.00 – 11.00 CET
Presenter: Leonidas Pispiringas (Athena Research Center)
Moderator: Zenia Xenou (OpenAIRE)
Venue: Virtual event via Zoom supported by OpenAIRE AMKE

BIP scholar: going beyond researcher profiles

This training session introduced the main functionalities of BIP! Scholar, a service that offers researchers the opportunity to set up profiles that summarize their research careers, showcasing different aspects of work conducted. Participants learnt about BIP! Scholar and how it can assist researcher assessement. The training also presented impact indicators, which aspects of research work can be valorised, and how to design a researcher's CV.

Date: 2nd November 2023, 14.00 – 15.00 CET
Presenter: Thanasis Vergoulis (Athena Research Center)
Moderator: Zenia Xenou (OpenAIRE)
Venue: Virtual event via Zoom supported by OpenAIRE AMKE
Slides: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.10067214
Summary of the event: https://graspos.eu/bip-scholar-redefining-academic-profiles 

 

A training course on the Open Science Assessment Framework will be co-developed with the technology and infrastructure providers and hosted on the platform www.openplato.eu, a complete learning platform offered by OpenAIRE for organising all the activities, as well as on other similar platforms that may be available (e.g. via EOSC). Additional training events will focus on the topics of the Open and Federated Research Assessment Infrastructure.
