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

Website Support

Status: Pilot completed, Running as a Service

 

Participating Institutions

Amsterdam UMC (VU Medical Center, AMC,) VU and University of Amsterdam

This service will enable the participating institutions and their affiliated research centres to represent their researchers and research outputs in a newly developed public website (Amsterdam UMC).  A dedicated and open research portal will feature detailed information on researchers, their research outputs, and their collaborations.

 

How the Website support Service works

The new website retrieves aggregated and deduplicated data (using an standard API) from the Amsterdam Pure community portal. The new website subsequently links to an open and dedicated research portal with more detailed information. Read more information in the SoW here.

 

Support of open science and benefits for researchers and institutions

The service supports the institutions’ objectives of transparency and outreach (the AUMC public website) and promotes collaboration – i.e. by showcasing expertise on the website and the research portal – across institutions and beyond. The service boosts visibility of expertise and research impact, as well as stakeholders’ outreach, and stimulates further collaboration, nationally and internationally. In the pilot phase the partners gained important insights about data aggregation and filtering which are relevant for future developments of an Open Knowledge base.

 

Website Support Service Objectives

To evaluate success, the following objectives were defined for this pilot:

  • Enable the institutions to represent their researchers and research outputs in a newly created website (Amsterdam UMC) and link back from that website to a dedicated portal for detailed information on researchers, their research outputs, organizations and their collaborations.
  • Support the institutions’ objectives of transparency and outreach (the AUMC public website) and promotes collaboration (visibility of expertise in website and supporting portal) across institutions and beyond.

Both objectives have been met and “proof’ of that is described in the AUMC pilot evaluation document (signed off by the Steering Group on December 13, 2021).

The pilot phase has ended and continues as a regular Service during the entirety of the agreement.
