COAR Announces Launch of the International #Repositories Directory (IRD) https://www.infodocket.com/2025/07/09/coar-announces-launch-of-the-international-repositories-directory-ird/ #scholcomm #libraries #scholcomm @coar_repositories

Yay! Attending the soft launch of the new International #Repositories Directory (IRD), created under the ausprices of @coar_repositories and led by @paulwalk. Kudos to all involved! The IRD presents a long needed superior model of #repository directory maintenance -- much needed to ensure we can leverage the power of networked repositories and build value added services on top of these repositories.

Screen snippet of opening slide delivered by Kathleen Shearer, presented at the soft launch of the COAR International Repository Directory (IRD). Slide explains the motivation for a new, comprehensive, and accurate directory of repositories. It also summarises some of the deficiencies inherent in existing directories.

We sadly missed this year's Open Repositories conference, which was organised in Chicago a couple of weeks ago.

But you can get some idea of the topics that were being discussed by browsing the presentation slides, which are now available in Zenodo:

🎂 July 2nd, 2015 - the first DOI was assigned to a dataset in our research data repository RepOD 👉 https://repod.icm.edu.pl/

📆 Today we host almost 60 institutional dataverses and over 2 600 datasets.

@coar_repositories report on the impact of AI bots and crawlers on open repositories:

💬 "The recent rise in aggressive bots activity could potentially result in repositories limiting access to their resources for both human and machine users – leading to a situation where the value of the global repository network is substantially diminished."

'Unfair publisher fees for deposit into #repositories highlight the need for #authors to exercise their rights'

New blog post from @coar_repositories once again pushing against the emergence of "publishers [which] are audaciously seeking to monetize funder mandates by making it more difficult and expensive for authors to share their #articles through repositories."

https://coar-repositories.org/news-updates/unfair-publisher-fees-for-deposit-into-repositories-highlight-the-need-for-authors-to-exercise-their-rights/

#OpenAccess #OpenResearch #scholcomm #publishing

#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.

#Publishers #Copyright #ScholComm

Many thanks to @AuthorsAlliance for launching this form to collect author experiences under the new federal #OpenAccess policies, including the #NIH policy.
https://www.authorsalliance.org/fedpublicaccess/

"We are particularly interested in learning about:
* Challenges with #publishers whose policies may disallow their uploading of articles to agency-designated #repositories;
* Common questions or points of confusion expressed by grantees;
* Confusion or questions about agency guidance;
* Other technical, legal, or practical barriers to depositing articles."

Note to #librarians: When you encounter authors facing any kind of problem with a fed OA policy (understanding, compliance, publishing), please refer them to this form. The more we document the problems, the more we can facilitate solutions.

Over the past few months, I went to two core #repositories to sample several #marine #sediment cores and meet some of my new #collaborators in person.
First, the LSCE (Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement UMR 8212) core repository in mid-April.
Second, the EPOC (Environnements et Paléoenvironnements Océaniques et Continentaux UMR 5805) core repository in early June.
Hopefully, these core repository visits would be the first of many!

I’m very happy to be at #OpenRepos2025 in #Chicago. While technology helps to enable remote collaboration, meetings face to face deepens relationships and trust, invite new ideas to emerge and have a magic that can’t be replaced by video calls. Thanks to all people who worked hard to make this conference happen and to all who traveled around the globe to foster #repositories, #sharing of #knowledge and #openSource. For the #DSpace community Open Repositories is an important annual event.
