SHARE in Open Science and Open Access

About This Session

SHARE’s objective is to collect, connect, and enhance scholarly metadata in order to create an openly available dataset that enables the tracking of research objects across the research lifecycle. SHARE plans to simplify how various research outputs and activities—from data management plans and grant proposals to preprints, journal articles, and data repository deposits—can be identified as elements of a single research activity. As an open dataset, SHARE will present an opportunity for innovation—by anyone—on communication, visualization, and dissemination of information about research for the advancement of scholarship. SHARE partnered with the Center for Open Science (COS) in June 2014 to build the technology and service now called SHARE Notify, which was released during fall 2015. SHARE Notify generates a normalized feed of research release events from diverse sources and with varied schema. The prototype and beta participants reflect this diversity including ArXiv, DataONE, Clinical Trials, CrossRef, institutional repositories, and PubMedCentral. In October 2015, SHARE received $1.2 million in phase II funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and IMLS. This presentation will give an overview of the SHARE program and Phase II’s current and near future endeavors. Afterward, the presenter will facilitate a conversation and collect feedback from attendees about how SHARE’s work can benefit their institutions, and more generally, Open Science and Open Access.
