30. As well as the following reports:
- EU Open Science Monitor
- State of OA paper (Piwowar 2018)
- Leiden university rankings
- recent Nature News take on OA by country
and more...
35. Europe PMC pages that link to free PDF
jumped from 4.6mil to 7.3mil
36. Let’s let all of that sink in for a minute.
Those integrations mean a LOT more
users for open repositories.
When you add new content to your repos,
it has the potential to help so many more
people.
37.
38. That’s thanks to you.
That doesn’t happen without the work you are doing.
39. NONE of those integrations happen when just
Google solution.
we all out-googled google
because we, together built a great, open API
based on the shoulders of others’ open work.
40. A moment for tech stack :)
- python
- flask
- sqlalchemy
- sickle
- postgres (including custom queue)
- on heroku
- MIT licensed
41. - open API
https://api.unpaywall.org/v2/10.234/abc?email=me
- redirection url
https://unpaywall.org/10.234/abc
- CSV download (5k DOIs)
- full data dump every 6 months (100million DOIs)
- extension for Chrome and Firefox (200k+ users)
- subscription to weekly update feed + uptime contract
42. short on time, but feel free to ask me more
in question time:
- history, why did we do this
- tech deets (deduping, version detection)
- sustainability as a nonprofit
43. ok.
but that's not enough to be a
hockey stick moment.
has to keep growing. fast.
54. TALK. WRITE. PROPOSE.
Keep it up.
And keep choosing open partners
(for metrics, CRIS, etc) who use open
licenses.
Non-commercial restrictions hurt.
56. Popular!
You are a natural host, and also have
the most related know-how.
Champion this on your campuses, it is
a natural place for repos to lead and
to dramatically expand users.
58. BigQuery, Redshift, Apache Spark
Learn them. Super fun!
Slice and dice your own data
That’ll help you put it out there in
ways others can use it effectively.
OpenAIRE doing great stuff here.
61. Put out those Datasets
CORE doing great stuff here
Partner with other repos
Partner with NLP teams on campus
Become ML savvy
Host ML/NLP competitions
62. Users in your institution for posting
Users around the world for discovery
and use!
Scholars, meta-researchers, public.
63. summary: trends supporting huge
growth in OR users
* no more publishers owning content
* open nonprofits owning pipes
* preprints
* big data
* machine learning
65. How are you going to have time to
do all of this?
To engage with these new “users” of
open repositories and
your know-how?
66. You know best. But one observation:
satisfice on customizations where that
isn’t the best way to grow your userbase
by 10x
... think about “users” most broadly.
86. thanks!
Thanks to conversations during this conference,
the open science community, and those who release their
articles, datasets, and photos openly.
heather@impactstory.org
unpaywall.org for api, dataset, and browser extension
I have stickers! Come up and grab one after :)
