Support for the development of open science
Université Paris-Saclay supports various initiatives for the development of open science which translates into financial support for recognised organisations:
Online archive of preprints in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics.
Datacite is an international consortium whose aim is to provide DOIs for scientific data. It is also authorized to register DOIs for other types of resources such as publications, games and databases, software, images, maps, etc.
DOAB: directory of peer-reviewed open access books and publishers of open access books.
OAPEN Library: repository of over 25,000 freely accessible academic books.
Independent database of over 16,500 peer-reviewed open access journals covering all fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, arts and humanities.
In 2021, more than 6500 publications bore the name "Université Paris-Saclay".
Episciences is an open-access diamond journal publishing platform covering all disciplines. It is developed and administered by the Centre pour la communication scientifique directe in France.
The Métopes infrastructure - Méthodes et outils pour l'édition structurée (Methods and tools for structured publishing) - is designed for use by publishers and to support the publishing activities of all public higher education and research establishments. Its main missions are to provide a set of tools and methods for building structured editorial collections, and to ensure the distribution of digital and printed editorial products.
Since its creation in 2009, Mir@bel has been producing an open platform for referencing journals for the benefit of the greatest number and open science. The network helps to signal online access to journals, control the quality of open metadata, and support French scientific publishing by contributing to its influence.
Online resource that aggregates and analyses open access policies of publishers worldwide and provides summaries of publishers' copyright archiving and open access policies for each journal.
OpenAlex is a fully open bibliographic database indexing, by the end of 2023, around 250 million scientific works, 90 million authors, 100,000 institutions and 32,000 funders. OpenAlex draws on open data and infrastructures (notably Crossref, RoR, ORCID, DOAJ and Wikidata) and technological advances (cloud computing and machine learning) to provide a graph of scientific knowledge linking publications, their authors, affiliations and funding, with enriched metadata.
Scientific infrastructure service that provides bibliographic data and open citations.
ORCID - Open Researcher and Contributor ID - is an international non-profit organization backed by a community of research organizations, publishers, funders, professional associations and other players in the research ecosystem.
ORCID's mission is to maintain a registry of unique and durable identifiers dedicated to researchers and authors of scientific publications. The ORCID identifier facilitates reliable and transparent interconnection between researchers, their work and the structures to which they belong.
A pre-publication platform that makes peer reviews of preprints and scientific articles available in open access.
Several researchers from the University are involved in its development.
Academic initiative that enables open source software development and supports services, including Open Journal Systems (OJS), one of the world's leading journal publishing platforms.
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is an international, interdisciplinary organization whose mission is to build bridges, both social and technical, to enable data to be freely shared and interoperable.
ROR - Research Organization Registry - is a global registry of permanent open identifiers for research organizations worldwide, complementing other commonly used identifiers such as ORCID for researchers and DOI for research results.
Open access scientific publishing portal in the physical sciences. Several researchers from the University are involved in this initiative.
Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP³) is an international consortium of the high-energy physics community aiming to make traditional closed-access physics journals open access. The initiative is promoted by CERN in collaboration with international partners.
Software Heritage is an open archive for software source code. Its ambition is to collect, preserve and share all publicly available software in source code form.
An important party in the development of open science for the academic and educational community and for society at large.
