RCAAP Validator v.2
No full textPoster at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's"This poster presents the new developments of the second version of the RCAAP validator. It introduces new contexts of validation, a more detailed validation option for each set and the possibility to extend to new validation profiles. This validator also includes a format validation tool to be used with digital preservation plans. Finally, a new interface and an English translation make it usable by all repository managers to promote interoperability.Carvalho, José (University of Minho, Portugal)Rodrigues, Eloy (University of Minho, Portugal)Príncipe, Pedro (University of Minho, Portugal)Moreira, João (FCT/FCCN, Portugal
Heading for Open Science: Filling the Knowledge Gap
No full textPoster at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's"The FOSTER (Foster Open Science Training for European Research) project, funded by the European Commission, will facilitate a wide range of Open Science training – supplemented by a collection of learning and training materials, and a helpdesk, on its platform. New materials will evolve from trainings and in addition, a certification of training units for post-graduate curricula will be explored. For all these, close collaboration with a wide range of partners is foreseen, from the project partners such as European universities and associations with experiences in open access policies and practices, digital curation, as well as infrastructure and services for research data.Schmidt, Birgit (University of Göttingen, Germany)Rodrigues, Eloy (University of Minho, Portugal)Kuchma, Iryna (eIFL.net, Netherlands)Grigorov, Ivo (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)Knoth, Petr (KMi, The Open University, United Kingdom
RCAAP: Building and maintaining a national repository network
Full text linkPresentation at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014DSpace Interest Group PresentationsIn our presentation we will describe RCAAP project and the network of Open Access repositories, based on DSpace software, from Portugal. We will present an overview of the services provided by the RCAAP open access national initiative, constituting the foundations of a sustainable national open access infrastructure.
The communication describes the value-added services provided by the project, built with a focus on the technical interoperability, and the consolidation of a strong community that shares common objectives. Both strategically directions have resulted in the significant increase in the number of repositories and institutional open access policies, placing Portugal in the forefront of repositories networks in Europe.Carvalho, José (University of Minho, Portugal)Rodrigues, Eloy (University of Minho, Portugal)Príncipe, Pedro (University of Minho, Portugal)Saraiva, Ricardo (University of Minho, Portugal
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Esse trabalho, que foi enquadrado nas comemorações do 50º aniversário da Universidade do Minho (UMinho), pretendeu contribuir para um conhecimento mais completo e detalhado do conjunto da produção científica e académica da Universidade desde a sua criação.
Tal como anunciado aquando da publicação original, pretende-se continuar a realizar curadoria do Inventário das publicações e académicas da autoria de membros da Universidade do Minho, e a atualizá-lo anualmente. A publicação deste relatório e a disponibilização de um novo dataset no DataRepositóriUM (https://doi.org/10.34622/datarepositorium/TVTRSJ), cumpre precisamente esse propósito. [...
Supporting Repository Interoperability through Guidelines
No full textPresentation at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014General Track, 24x7 PresentationsThe session was recorded and is available for watching (this presentation starts at 0:51:18)Exposure and visibility of content from a range of European repositories will be significantly increased when a common and interoperable approach is taken and care to adhere to existing guidelines. This compatibility will lead to future interoperability between research infrastructures, and structured metadata is of benefit to individual data repositories and the knowledge community at large.
OpenAIRE is starting to move from a publication infrastructure to a more comprehensive infrastructure that covers all types of scientific output: publications and research data. To put this into practice, the infrastructure will rely heavily on implementing its guidelines, and it has recently developed an integrated suite of guidelines.
This session will briefly outline the three OpenAIRE sets of guidelines: who they are targeted at, the benefits of guidelines, and how to implement them. By implementing the OpenAIRE Guidelines, repository managers will be able to enable authors to fulfill the European Commission Open Access requirements, as well as the requirements of other (national or international) funders with whom OpenAIRE cooperates. In addition, it will allow the OpenAIRE infrastructure to add value-added services such as discoverability and linking, and creation of enhanced publications. In short, building the stepping-stones for a linked data infrastructure for research.Principe, Pedro (University of Minho, Portugal)Rettberg, Najla (University of Goettingen, Germany)Elbæk, Mikael Karstensen (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)Rodrigues, Eloy (University of Minho, Portugal
