Data for "Breaking the Paywall: The role of Open Journal System as key Open Science infrastructure"

<h3><strong>Context</strong></h3> <p>This research was conducted within the NSF-SEEKCommons Project, a research initiative dedicated to supporting Open Science and Open Access in disciplinary research. The project has a special interest in understanding the role that critical infrastructure has in supporting open initiatives. The Open Journal System (OJS) serves as a long-standing fundamental piece for Open Access throughout the globe. Hence, it provides valuable information about experiences developing, deploying, and maintaining open technologies.&nbsp;</p> <h3><strong>Methods<br></strong></h3> <div> <div>We used mixed methods for our research, triangulating repository data, installation data, interviews, and documentary analysis. We collected repository data using a report generator (Kopp [2018] 2024) that uses repository metadata to present general statistics about a Git project. The resulting information was manually curated, disambiguated, and annotated to have a homogeneous set of developers with information about their institutional affiliation and country.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Names are normalized based on the information in qualitative interviews and by browsing the full-extent commits in the GitHub repository. Other sources for this were the institutional materials (available in current and archived versions of the PKP website), meeting minutes, the user forum, and further project documentation available online. GitHub handles are homologated to their most comprehensive version. For institutional and country affiliation, we resorted to GitHub profiles, PKP documentation and forums, institutional domains available in emails, and researchers' ORCID IDs.&nbsp;</div> </div> <h3><strong>Available files</strong></h3> <ol> <li><strong>Information about the codebase</strong> (number of files, lines of code, and timestamp) organized by <strong>month, quarter, and semester.&nbsp;</strong><br>See file: OJS_GitStats_04-24.csv</li> <li>Information about the historical evolution of the codebase (number of files, lines of code, and timestamp), including <strong>a description of the top committers for each month</strong>.

Open Science Quest

<p>The Open Science Quest was an activity organised as part of a national Open Science event in Luxembourg at the university library and was displayed for two weeks from 12 to 23 November 2018. Its aim was for library users (mainly Bachelor and Master students) and the event&rsquo;s attendees (early-career and senior researchers, librarians and research support staff) to explore and discover Open Science practices at their own pace.</p> <p><br> The activity was stand-alone and promoted independent learning &ndash; once set up no external help was needed apart from issuing the diploma and prize for completing the Quest. The aim was also to make the activity as informative and engaging as possible by requiring participants to use a mix of information gathering techniques &ndash; text, images and videos presented on the displays, websearch and online tools, (very simple) puzzle-solving. The Quest was created and displayed in such a way that allowed various types of individual learning goals &ndash; each display provided knowledge without requiring to do the Quest and the Quest itself could be completed by grasping a minimal of concepts, while allowing participants to get more in-depth knowledge of each subject if they wanted to.</p> <p>All resources and materials used to prepare and showcase the Quest can be found here.<strong> Please read the &#39;User Guide&#39; and the README files</strong> included in each folder and sub-folder to get more detailed information.

ALL-READY Questionnare on potential drivers and barriers to the adoption of innovation management, open science, and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) among the members of the Pilot Network

<p><strong>Background &amp; Summary</strong>:&nbsp;</p><p>The ALL-READY project unites a diverse consortium of Research Infrastructures (RI) and Living Labs, instrumental in developing new methodologies and technologies in agroecology. The project focuses on effective management of innovation, adherence to open science principles, and strategic application of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Task 6.4 of the project, which concentrates on Innovation and IPR Management, seeks to understand the dynamics influencing the adoption of these practices among its members. Recognizing the need for end-to-end data management, the project emphasizes standardized data collection and management while adhering to FAIR principles.</p><p><strong>Methods</strong>:&nbsp;</p><p>The questionnaire was developed by LifeWatch ERIC to capture data reflecting current practices and perceptions in agroecology. It included 26 questions divided into four sections, focusing on existing practices, potential drivers, and barriers in innovation management, open science, and IPR. The survey was disseminated via an online platform to the ALLREADY Pilot Network, ensuring a representative sample from diverse organizations. The data collection process was closely monitored, and the responses were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach to extract meaningful insights.</p><p><strong>Data Records of the ALLREADY Project Questionnaire</strong>:&nbsp;</p><p>The dataset, collected through an online survey platform, underwent a meticulous process of data preparation, download, formatting, and anonymization. It consists of one text file containing metadata (Readme.txt) and a single CSV file encompassing all questionnaire responses. The dataset provides a comprehensive view of innovation management, open science adoption, and IPR handling within the agroecology sector, particularly among the network of RIs and Living Labs involved in the project.</p><p><strong>Technical Validation of the ALLREADY Project Questionnaire</strong>:&nbsp;</p><p>Several critical steps were taken to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and overall quality of the data collected. This included development and testing of the questionnaire, rigorous monitoring of the data collection process, and thorough checks for data quality and completeness. The representativeness of the sample was analyzed specifically with respect to the Pilot Network rather than the broader population involved in agroecology. Strategies were employed to counter survey fatigue and maintain respondent engagement.</p><p><strong>Usage Notes for the ALLREADY Project Questionnaire</strong>:&nbsp;</p><p>The dataset's proper usage is vital for ensuring the validity and reproducibility of research. Researchers are advised to consider the nature of the data, the representativeness of the dataset, and its generalizability. The dataset allows for comprehensive analysis and integration of different sections, and analysts have the flexibility to handle open and write-in responses according to their research needs. Additional information to facilitate analysis is provided in a separate documentation file.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
