"COAR Notify and the Launch of a Publish, Review, Curate Alliance."

Update. New from #COAR (@coar_repositories): "This paper explores the concept of #semantic #multilingual #search: an emerging approach that retrieves information by meaning rather than by exact wording, enabling users to search in any supported language and discover relevant work across all languages…When you ask a question in your language, the entire world should have a chance to understand and respond."

#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.

#COAR hat eine Umfrage zu einem Thema durchgeführt, welches auch uns sehr intensiv beschäftigt: Maschinelle Zugriffe auf Repositorien, spezifisch AI-Bots: https://coar-repositories.org/news-updates/open-repositories-are-being-profoundly-impacted-by-ai-bots-and-other-crawlers-results-of-a-coar-survey/
Die Ergebnisse überraschen uns nicht. Das Verhalten und die Menge von #AI #Bots sind Herausforderungen für den Betrieb von Repositorien. Eine dauerhafte Lösung zeichnet sich noch nicht ab. Wir finden es deswegen wichtig, die Probleme anzusprechen und uns in der Community dazu auszutauschen.

This is an important step in adding new layers of utility to #OpenAccess #repositories.

Update. This new study follows up on three recommendations from #COAR on #multilingualism in #repositories — "[1] declaring the language(s) of the resource and…its #metadata, [2] writing personal name/s using the writing system used in the deposited document while providing a persistent identifier to disambiguate author/s…and…[3] enabling UTF-8 support so as to promote use of the original alphabet / the writing system whenever possible."

The #COAR (@coar_ev) #Notify project has created exciting new levels of #interoperability between #OpenAccess #preprint #repositories and other pieces of #OpenInfrastructure.
https://www.coar-repositories.org/news-updates/whats-new-with-coar-notify/Notify now supports:
* One-click requests for peer review (from #Prereview, @prereview) for #preprints in #bioRxiv (@biorxivpreprint) and #SciELO (@redescielo)
* One-click submissions to OA journals (from #Episciences, @episciences) for preprints in #HAL (@hal_fr)

Update. The Confederation of #OpenAccess #Repositories (#COAR) just released an important set of recommendations on managing multilingual and non-English language content in #OA repositories.

Guess what: Anyone here probably assumes document types are defined and can be used in whatever system. I spare you the history but only with my recent release this reflects to be true. #DSpace #COAR #datacite #OpenAIRE
Still having trouble on the formerly perfect #BibTeX export. But I am confident because my beloved admin is back from holidays and browsing the backlog.

"There are significant variations across the European #repository landscape with differing levels of support and funding…Some repositories have access to the resources they need…while others find it a challenge to maintain up-to-date software platforms and suitable staffing levels. For Europe to maintain its position as a global leader in #OpenScience, we must ensure there is a strong and sustainable network of open repositories."

The Confederation of Open Access Repositories (#COAR) has set up a working group to improve #language support in scholarly article archives. https://www.coar-repositories.org/news-updates/what-we-do/multilingual-and-non-english-content/
The first output is there.
COAR Announces first recommendation for supporting #multilingual and non-English content in repositories https://www.coar-repositories.org/news-updates/coar-announces-first-recommendation-for-supporting-multilingual-and-non-english-content-in-repositories/
SPOILER: It is: pretty please add metadata to indicate the language of the document. Very basic, but even this will take some time to flesh out for various metadata systems.
