• The journal literature is full of crap' -
& unfindable!!! - 'the situation is close
to criminal
• Kill the journal
• Kill impact factors
• Articles allowed as supplement to
data
• Open science not open access
• Scientists cannot innovate
• Data stewardship, not management,
is key to open science
• Researchers should spent 5% of
budget on data stewardship
• FAIR

“their role is that
of enablers: “Libraries
have adapted their role
and are now active in the
preservation, curation,
publication and
dissemination of digital
scientific materials, in the
form of publications, data
and other research-related
content. Libraries and
repositories constitute the
physical infrastructure that
allows scientists to share
use and reuse the outcome
of their work, and they
have been essential in the
creation of the Open
Science movement” (OECD,
2015)

WG 5: Infrastructure
(Eoghan Ó Carragain UCC)
# Top Level Action Science Europe Principle
1.1 Grant information available in consistent
format from all funders
Make data on publically
funded research publically
available
1.2 Endorse ORCID adoption at national level Adopt global UIs for
researcher ID
1.3 Monitor & engage with emerging Orgld Engaging with CrossRef
1.4 Encourage better integration of DOIs within
local systems & workflows
1.5 APC data available for all
2.1 Refresh RIAN extend remit beyond OA

WG 3: Principles for Open Research in
Ireland
1. Open research data improves the quality of
research and innovation
2. Publically funded knowledge is used to
benefit the whole of society and create
public value
3. Research data should be freely available to
everyone to use and republish as they wish
without restrictions from copyright, patents
or other mechanisms of control

17.
WG 3: Principles Continued
4. Open research must be supported by extensive
development of the capacity of researchers, librarians
and data specialists
5. Good data management is fundamental to high
quality research and should be established early on in
the research process via Data Management Plans
6. Research data should be as open as possible and as
closed as necessary
7. Every effort should be taken to increase
interoperability within and across domain boundaries
and where reasonable to enable res-use of intelligent
machine agents

Conclusions
• Librarians and libraries are part of the Open
Science infrastructure in Ireland
• Position to play the “enabling” role within
research institutions and wider community
• Consistency from funders
• National approach to data management plans
