This simplicity has been lost in the detail of implementing funder mandates over copyright restrictions, resulting in significant administrative overheads to support staff whose primary role is to smoothly progress a cultural change. Although the momentum is undeniable, the transition to open scholarship is now fraught with complexity.<span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-none" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2016/07/07/measuring-and-managing-mandates/"><span>read more...</span></a></span></p></div> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2016/07/07/measuring-and-managing-mandates/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2016-07-07T12:37:36+01:00">7th July 2016</time><time class="updated" datetime="2016-07-22T11:54:20+01:00">22nd July 2016</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/author/nancypontika/">nancypontika</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/aggregation/" rel="category tag">aggregation</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/core/" rel="category tag">CORE</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/repositories/" rel="category tag">repositories</a></span><span class="tags-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Tags </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/brunel-university/" rel="tag">brunel university</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/brunel-university-research-archive/" rel="tag">brunel university research archive</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/bura/" rel="tag">bura</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/funders/" rel="tag">funders</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/hefce/" rel="tag">hefce</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/policies/" rel="tag">policies</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/ref/" rel="tag">ref</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-296" class="post-296 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-conferences category-core category-repositories tag-api tag-award tag-conference tag-core tag-dashboard tag-data tag-evaluation tag-foster tag-irus_uk tag-metrics tag-mining tag-open-repositories tag-openminted tag-or2016 tag-or2016dub tag-poster tag-presentations tag-repositories tag-rioxx tag-semantometrics tag-slides tag-text"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2016/06/23/core-wins-best-poster-award-at-the-open-repositories-conference-or2016/" rel="bookmark">CORE wins Best Poster Award at the Open Repositories Conference #OR2016</a></h2> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="ecae" style=""><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last week, the CORE team attended the </span><a href="http://or2016.net/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">11th Annual Conference on Open Repositories</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, an international conference addressed mainly to subject and institutional repository managers, focusing on open access, open data and open science tools, projects and services. </span></p> <p><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2016-06-15-20.04.57.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-297 aligncenter lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20170'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src="https://blog.core.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2016-06-15-20.04.57.jpg" alt="2016-06-15 20.04.57" width="300" height="170" /></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the conference the team had six submissions: </span></p> <ol> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> A workshop presentation on “</span><b>How can repositories support the text-mining of their content and why?</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">” where Nancy Pontika explained how repository managers should be supportive of text-mining practices and Petr Knoth described the technical requirements that can enable the text mining of repositories.

The titles and summaries of our accepted proposals are:</p> <p>Paper: <strong><em>Exploring Semantometrics: full text-based research evaluation for open repositories</em></strong> / Knoth, Petr; Herrmannova, Drahomira<br /> Over the recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing new scientometric measures that could go beyond the traditional citation-based bibliometric measures. This interest is motivated on one side by the wider availability or even emergence of new information evidencing research performance, such as article downloads, views and twitter mentions, and on the other side by the continued frustrations and problems surrounding the application of citation-based metrics to evaluate research performance in practice. Semantometrics are a new class of research evaluation metrics which build on the premise that full text is needed to assess the value of a publication. This talk will present the results of an investigation into the properties of the semantometric contribution measure (Knoth & Herrmannova, 2014). We will provide a comparative evaluation of the contribution measure with traditional bibliometric measures based on citation counting. Our analysis also focuses on the potential application of semantometric measures in large databases of research papers.<span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-none" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2016/04/04/core-will-be-at-the-open-repositories-2016/"><span>read more...</span></a></span></p></div> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2016/04/04/core-will-be-at-the-open-repositories-2016/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2016-04-04T16:32:40+01:00">4th April 2016</time><time class="updated" datetime="2016-06-23T13:44:20+01:00">23rd June 2016</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/author/nancypontika/">nancypontika</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/aggregation/" rel="category tag">aggregation</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/conferences/" rel="category tag">conferences</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/core/" rel="category tag">CORE</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/uncategorised/" rel="category tag">Uncategorised</a></span><span class="tags-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Tags </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/impact/" rel="tag">impact</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/irus-uk/" rel="tag">irus-uk</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/metadata/" rel="tag">metadata</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/metrics/" rel="tag">metrics</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/open-repositories/" rel="tag">open repositories</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/or2016/" rel="tag">or2016</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/or2016dub/" rel="tag">or2016dub</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/poster/" rel="tag">poster</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/presentations/" rel="tag">presentations</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/research/" rel="tag">research</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/rioxx/" rel="tag">rioxx</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/semantometrics/" rel="tag">semantometrics</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/slides/" rel="tag">slides</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/submissions/" rel="tag">submissions</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/summaries/" rel="tag">summaries</a></span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2016/04/04/core-will-be-at-the-open-repositories-2016/#comments">1 Comment<span class="screen-reader-text"> on CORE will be at the Open Repositories 2016</span></a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-173" class="post-173 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-aggregation category-core category-growth category-harvesting category-repositories"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2015/12/14/how-about-them-stats/" rel="bookmark">How about them stats?</a></h2> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="ecae" style=""><p>Every month Samuel Pearce, one of the CORE developers, collects the CORE statistics – perhaps a boring task, but useful for us to know where we stand as a service.
