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.


PILOT

Grants Monitor

Status: Pilot running

 

Participating Institutions

TU Eindhoven, Utrecht University, Groningen University, TU Delft and AmsterdamUMC, Twente University.

The aim of this pilot is to improve the open flow of data from research investments (awarded grants) of Research Funding Organizations (RFOs).

 

How the pilot works

The awarded grants from the EU will be normalised, enriched and made available to the participating institutions through a newly developed API for integration and validation in CRIS and other institutional systems. The participating institutions and Elsevier will jointly design the API and setup a data quality evaluation process to test the quality and completeness of the normalised and enriched awarded grants. See the SoW for more details on pilot deliverables and specifications.

 

Support of open science and benefits to researchers and institutions

The open flow will increase the quality and coverage of the data, so that better and more complete information can be given and shared publicly, and subsequently better decisions can be made, while lowering the administrative burden for researchers and research support staff.
