FYI. -----Original Message----- From: An informal open list set up by UKSG - Connecting the Information Community On Behalf Of Lotte Jorgensen Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 6:26 PM Subject: DOAJ reaches new milestones March 12th 2013 DOAJ reaches new milestones: We have just completed the transition to a new environment and launched a new platform with integrated functionality for sharing, exporting and enhanced search/browse functionality: at the article level, search results can be filtered by language and publication year and by license and publication fee; at the journal level, you can filter by subject, by country, by license and by publication fees. These facets will be developed further in the months to come. (Read more about our enhancements on our home page: www.doaj.org <http://www.doaj.org>.) We are also very proud to announce that the DOAJ has reached two important milestones: 1. For the first time since launch in 2003, more than 50% of the journals are providing metadata at article level.We will continue to work with the 2000+ publishers to increase this figure. 2. More than 1 million articles are now searchable in DOAJ which means more than 1 million article-level metadata entriesare available for harvesting!We expect this figure to increase significantly in the months to come. We continue to work with key stakeholders to agree on and implement new, tighter criteria for the inclusion of journals in the DOAJ: critieria that will address issues of quality and openness, as well as other kinds of information about the journals. We are very excited about these developments and we are grateful for the continued support from the community. We always need more support so we can continue to provide a better service, so please consider contributing: http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=loadTemplate&template=supportDoaj&uiLanguage=… For more information, please contact Lars Bjørnshauge <mailto:lars@doaj.org>or Dom Mitchell <mailto:dom@doaj.org> The Directory of Open Access Journals is provided by IS4OA <http://www.is4oa.org>in cooperation with SemperTool <http://www.sempertool.dk>.

Fwd: re3data.org - Registry of Research Data Repositories launched
by Shamprasad Pujar 29 May '13

29 May '13

Dear Members, It could be of interest to some of you. Please see the forwarded mail for details. Regards, S M Pujar IGIDR, Mumbai =================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yaso Kunaratnam <y.kunaratnam(a)ids.ac.uk> Date: Tue, May 28, 2013 at 8:04 PM Subject: [kbf] re3data.org - Registry of Research Data Repositories launched To: Knowledge Brokers' Forum <knowledgebrokersforum(a)dgroups.org> *re3data.org - Registry of Research Data Repositories launched* An increasing number of universities and research organisations are starting to build research data repositories to allow permanent access in a trustworthy environment to data sets resulting from research at their institutions. Due to varying disciplinary requirements, the landscape of research data repositories is very heterogeneous. This makes it difficult for researchers, funding bodies, publishers, and scholarly institutions to select an appropriate repository for storage of research data or to search for data. The goal of re3data.org is to create a global registry of research data repositories. The registry covers research data repositories from all academic disciplines. Information icons display the principal attributes of a repository, allowing users to identify the functionalities and qualities of a data repository. These attributes can be used for multi-faceted searches, for instance to find a repository for geoscience data using a Creative Commons licence. By April 2013, 338 research data repositories were indexed in re3data.org. 171 of these are described by a comprehensive vocabulary, which was developed by involving the data repository community (http://doi.org/kv3). The re3data.org search at can be found at: *http://www.re3data.org* The information icons are explained at: *http://www.re3data.org/faq* Repository operators can suggest their infrastructures to be listed in re3data.org via a simple application form: http://www.re3data.org/suggestThe re3data.org team reviews and then lists the proposed repositories in the registry. A repository is indexed when the minimum requirements are met, i.e. mode of access to the data and repository, as well as the terms of use must be clearly explained on the repository pages. re3data.org is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Project partners in re3data.org are the Library and Information Services (LIS) of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, the Berlin School of Library and Information Science at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the KIT Library at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). re3data.orgcooperates with the German Initiative for Network Information (DINI). The three partners with their expertise in information infrastructures guarantee the sustainability of the registry in the future.
