Discovery and reproducibility: Your community will have a single entry
point where all research products, of any type (literature, datasets, software, workflows, protocols),
are gathered together and linked with semantic relationships. Researchers can find a research product
in the gateway (e.g. a research dataset) and easily find out everything related to it and that is
needed to re-use it, but also to replicate and reproduce a research activity (e.g. software used to
process the dataset, the journal article where the research is described).
Sharing:
scientific literature is only the tip of the iceberg. With a Community Gateway, you say to the members
of your community that everything they produce is relevant and that they should get credit for it.
Credit for all: Making research data, software, methods and scientific
workflows available “as soon as possible” is one of the “mantra” of Open
Science. If your community has integrated Zenodo into a digital experiment platform, researchers no
longer bear the burden of manually publishing their research products, while it is also easier for
them to publish different versions, which reflect different stages of their activities.
Awareness:
Thanks to dedicated pages of the Community Gateway you can suggest best practices to the researchers
of the community. Open Science experts of OpenAIRE will be available to assist you.
