Elsevier Partnership contributing to Dutch Open Science

With the expiration of the 2020-2024 UNL-NFU-UKB-NWO-Elsevier agreement, also the Open Science pilot program will end. 

We thank all the participating institutions, the members of the steering group and executive board, and the pilot participants for their ongoing commitment that made this unique collaboration a success. In total 8 pilots ran with nearly 60 participating institutions. For an evaluation of the pilots please see: here

Please be advised that the pilots will be discontinued by end of December 2024 unless otherwise communicated with the participating institutions. 

If you would like to discuss the continuation of EquipmentMonitor, Author Disambiguation Service, and/or the (successor of) DataMonitor, please contact: Dino Venturino at d.venturino@elsevier.com.  

Discussions about the continuation of RareDiseaseMonitor (for the NFU members) are ongoing.   

More information about the new 2025-2027 Agreement will be added to the Elsevier  Open Access agreements page in due course.  

The epdos.nl website will continue to be accessible through the first half of 2025.

A research paper (OA) on Rare Disease Monitor

In July, Quantitative Science Studies (MIT Press) published “The development of a research intelligence tool for rare disease research in the Netherlands (R. Iping et al, 2024).” The article is OA available here

This article describes the process of the development of Rare Disease Monitor. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first tool that can surface and organize scientific output on rare diseases using established annotation and natural language processing mechanisms. Quoting the authors: “the tool is a unique visualization that allows users to benefit with a few clicks from getting the information they require for their needs and offers novel scientific indicators to characterize (relatively) rare disease research activity” .

The tool is available here: Rare Diseases Monitor – Elsevier Partnership contributing to Dutch Open Science (epdos.nl).  This page has a link to the live dashboard
