Project description
Enhancing SciPost’s existing metadata system
The SciPost Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to developing, implementing and maintaining innovative forms of electronic scientific communication and publishing. The EU-funded ERC-SciPost-2019 project will work to enhance SciPost’s existing metadata system and infrastructure for researcher profiles, publications, institutions and funding-related data. It will increase the coverage of this data and make it as universal as possible. The project will also work to interlink the data and provide open online solutions by creating a set of useful instruments for the community. The overall aim of ERC-SciPost-2019 is to promote these targets as beneficial additions to scientific and administrative workflows in general and advance the implementation of the SciPost business model in particular.
Objective
"This project will enable SciPost to enhance its metadata handling facilities. In accordance with the goals stated in the Work Programme, we hope to develop the ""backend"" of our metadata-related publishing services, enabling us by extension to offer new tools for different classes of academic users. Overall objective: To enhance our already industry-leading extended metadata handling facilities for all facets of our scientific publishing activities, to extend their content coverage, and to enlarge their user base by providing tools targeted at authors, funders and the broader community. Specific objectives: • To enhance our existing metadata schema and handling infrastructure for researcher profiles, publications, organizations and funder-related data (funder instances, grant instruments, funding rounds, grant instances); • To widen the coverage of this data, and make it as universal as possible; • To interlink this data and provide open online facilities for using it, thereby creating a set of useful tools for the community (curated researcher disambiguator; publication listing; affiliations; coauthorships/conflict of interest checker; referee finder; grant reporting); • To promote these tools as useful additions to scientific and administrative workflows in general, and facilitate the implementation of our business model in particular."
