Lessons Learned in the UK from Navigating the FAIR Open Research World: A Collaborative Approach to Transforming Library Workflows – Jan Rylewicz
World-wide almost every university has an IR, and nearly everyone faces the challenges of lacking data quality and coverage, with faculty frustrated over the clunkiness and overwhelming manual workload of data entry. Furthermore, research outputs increasingly require a plethora of checks necessitating FAIR and evermore extensive meta-data. Is this article eligible for APC funding or covered by an agreement, and compliant with our and the funder’s OA policies?
At Lancaster, we use our Current Research Information System (CRIS) for fulltext deposits, but it is faced with the same challenges. With more and more OA routes and ballooning publishing charges, our presentation delves into a first-of-its-kind innovation and collaboration with technology partners and illustrates to what extent we can hit the sweet spot for effectively managing open research workflows through a combination of AI scanning of manuscripts, integrations and a simple user interface, while upholding the flag of FAIR data principles.
Romy is specialized in the academic online publishing industry, with a focus on publisher relations. And she’s one of our key experts in Open Access publishing terms.
Martin leads our collaboration with institutions, publishers, research funders, and technology partners across the ecosystem engaged in scientific and academic publishing.
Jan is passionate about scholarly publishing’s move towards Open Access and a more equitable, knowledgeable world. He thrives on helping UK-based institutions succeed in their OA journeys.
Vivi has extensive knowledge of building brands and online presence covering all steps, from when content is produced until it’s published, managed, and turned into great insights.
