The 2019 International Open Access Week will be held October 21-27, 2019. This year’s theme, “Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge,” builds on the groundwork laid during last year’s focus of “Designing Equitable Foundations for Open Knowledge.”

The Open Researcher and Contributor ID - ORCID - provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognised. If you do not already have one, you can register on their website: https://orcid.org/

The current version of ORBi^lu does not include the option to fill-in your ORCID, but it will be added to the system in the near future.

In the meantime, here is a work-around to feed-in your ORCID profile from ORBi^lu:

1) From your ORCID profile, under the 'Works' sections, click on "Add works" > "Search & link" > "BASE - Bielefeld Academic Search Engine"

2) Update the search field with your name as it appears on ORBi^lu - aut:"SURNAME, FIRST NAME"

3) Check which publications belong to you and click on "Claim" next to your name. 

You ORCID profile should show those publications you claimed.

Be seen. Be read. Be cited

Last September 2018, an international consortium of research funders – referred to as cOAlition S and that includes the FNR, Luxembourg’s national funder – released the Plan S initiative that aims to make scientific publications fully and immediately Open Access (OA). After a period of consultation from the research community and publishers, the final and revised principles and implementation guidelines were published last week.

Plan S states that:

As a researcher, if you are fully or partially funded by the FNR or by another funding agency part of cOAlition S (for grants awarded as of January 2021), you will be required to:

• Publish in an OA venue (OA journal or OA platform); or publish in a subscription journal and make it fully open and immediately available on ORBi^lu; or publish OA in a subscription journal under a transformative arrangement.

• Publishing in a ‘hybrid’ (or mirror/sister) journal will not be allowed, except if a transformative arrangement is in place.

• No embargo periods are allowed (i.e. fully open and immediate access on ORBi^lu).

• Retain your author rights by publishing under an open licence, preferably the Creative Commons Attribution Licence (CC BY).

We recommend you read the full principles and implementation guidelines about Plan S on https://www.coalition-s.org/

The University of Luxembourg library has just hired on a permanent basis an “Advocate for scholarly communication and research process”.

Jonathan England, who will also now coordinate ORBilu, will be your point of contact at the University for Open Access queries, research data management and Data Management Plans guidance, or any other developments around research outputs dissemination and Open Science.

Make good use of these new services by contacting: jonathan.england@uni.lu or orbilu@uni.lu

Save the date for three days of seminars, debates and hands-on sessions on how to make your research more visible, transparent, reproducible and efficient.

The Open Science Forum is aimed at all researchers and research support staff within and around Luxembourg, whatever your field of research or your research institution is and whether you are an early-career or an established researcher. 

From publication and data management to research evaluation and open innovation, you will all find something to learn and debate about.
