Dear all,



You are invited to the next, free UKSG webinar: "Better together: building
services for public good on top of content from the global network of open
repositories"



http://bit.ly/2lAHLpF



Date: Tuesday 19 November 2019

Time: 1400 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)

Duration: 45-60 minutes including Q&A



Speakers:

- Petr Knoth, Senior Research Fellow in Text and Data Mining, CORE.

- Nancy Pontika, Open Access Aggregation Officer, CORE.



Overview:

CORE hosts the world’s largest collection of open access full texts,
offering seamless, unrestricted access to research for citizens,
researchers, libraries, software developers, funders and others. CORE’s
aggregated content comes from thousands of institutional and subject
repositories as well as journals and covers all research disciplines. In
January 2019, CORE has hit the mark of 10 million monthly active users
(10.41 million users). In September 2019, core.ac.uk has made it to the top
5k websites globally by user engagement as measured by the independent
Alexa Rank, making it clearly one of the world’s most widely used Open
Access services.



In this talk, Petr and Nancy will explain the role of CORE in the open
science ecosystem. They will introduce the solutions CORE offers for
improving the delivery of research literature, including tools for
discovering freely available copies of papers that might be behind
publishers’ paywalls as well as a recommender system for open access
literature. The use of CORE data to monitor compliance with open access
policies has also recently received attention. The presenters will then
reflect on the challenges in the sector and share their experience of
building value-added services for the society on top of open content
offered by libraries and their affiliated institutional repositories and
open access journals.
