2. Inherited and Inferred Attributes
+
+ We either inherit the attributes of entities via entries in the harvested metadata records or automatically generate them using our inference system (text and data mining algorithms).
+
+
Organization
+
+
For research products, this refers to the
+ affiliated organizations of its authors
+
For projects:
+ the organizations participating in
+ the project
+ (i.e. beneficiaries of the grant)
+
We are improving the organization database with the use of our OpenOrgs tool. It allows curators to disambiguate organizations (merge different names of the same organization) and identify parent-child relationships (schools, departments, etc.).

-
Repositories
-
- Information systems where scientists upload the bibliographic metadata and payloads of their
- research products (e.g. PDFs of their scientific articles, CSVs of their data,
- archive with their
- software), due to obligations from their organizations, their
- funders, or due to community practices
- (e.g. ArXiv, Europe PMC, Zenodo).
-
-
-
-
-
Open Access Publishers & Journals
-
- Information systems of open access publishers or relative journals, which offer bibliographic
- metadata and PDFs of their published articles.
-
-
-
-
-
Aggregators
-
- Information systems that collect descriptive metadata about research products
- from multiple sources
- in order to enable cross-data source discovery of given research products (e,g,
- DataCite,
- BASE, DOAJ).
-
-
-
-
-
Entity Registries
-
- Information systems created with the intent of maintaining authoritative registries of given
- entities in the scholarly communication, such as OpenDOAR for the institutional repositories, re3data
- for the data repositories, CORDA and other funder databases
- for projects and funding information.
-
-
-
-
-
CRIS (Current Research Information System)
-
- Information systems adopted by research and academic organizations to
- keep track of their research
- administration records and relative results; examples of CRIS content are articles
- or research data funded
- by projects, their principal investigators, facilities acquired
- thanks to funding, etc.

-
-
- Fully Open Access (OA)
-
-
-
A journal that publishes only in open access.
-
-
-
-
We follow Unpaywall’s approach on defining fully Open Access journals and publishers and we construct the lists of the latter using Unpaywall data.
- In brief, a journal is fully Open Access if one or more of the following occur:
-
- - It is in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
- - It has a known fully OA Publisher (curated list).
- - It only publishes OA articles.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Subscription
-
-
-
A journal that charges for access to its articles.
-
-
-
-
Journals without any open access articles.
-
-
-
-
-
- Hybrid
-
-
-
A subscription journal where some of its articles are open access.
-
-
-
-
Journals with open access articles that are not fully OA journals.
-
-
-
-
-
- Transformative
-
-
-
"A Transformative Journal is a subscription/hybrid journal that is actively committed to
- transitioning to a fully Open Access journal.
- In addition, a Transformative Journal must:
-
- - gradually increase the share of Open Access content; and
- - offset subscription income from payments for publishing services (to avoid double payments)."
-
-
- Source: Plan S initiative
-
-
-
-
- We identify Transformative Journals by ISSN matching with the publicly available Transformative Journals data from Plan S initiative.

-
- Journal APC Business Models
-
-
-
-
- Diamond OA
-
-
-
A fully OA journal that does not charge article processing charges (APCs).
- In other words, fully OA journals are either diamond, or charge APCs.
-
-
-
-
- We obtain APC data from DOAJ using DOAJ’s Public Data Dump (an exportable version of the journal metadata). We used it to determine whether a particular fully OA journal charges APCs.

As in definition
-
-
-
-
-
- Gold OA
-
-
-
A scientific publication published in a fully OA journal.
-
-
-
-
We define fully OA journals above.
-
-
-
-
-
- Hybrid OA
-
-
-
An open access scientific publication published in a hybrid journal with an open license.
-
-
-
-
We define hybrid journals above.
- At this point we consider only CC licenses “open”. We are currently working on cleaning non-CC
- licenses as well to identify other open ones.
- In principle, this means that we may be underestimating the number of hybrid OA articles and
- overestimating the number of bronze.
-
-
-
-
-
- Bronze OA
-
-
-
An open access scientific publication published in a hybrid journal without an open license.

-
- Downloads
-
-
-
The number of downloads of a publication’s full text in a specific time frame, from a given set of
- data sources.
-
-
-
-
We utilize the usage data for the downloads from OpenAIRE’s Usage Counts service that harvests it from a set of
- datasources. The time range of available downloads varies for each datasource.
