EFPALINOS PUBLISHING – OPEN ACCESS HUB
Through innovative digital methodologies and open source tools Efpalinos Publishing aims to build a robust, sustainable, technical infrastructure for the creation and management of peer-reviewed Open Access (OA) publications, as well as for archiving Open Research Data. The goal is to develop an OA Enhanced Publication Management System for the scholar communities and small publishers, an Open Data Repository for researchers and scholars to deposit digital research material, and together with the Search Portal to become an international Open Access Hub in Philosophy, Architecture, Arts & Humanities. The open scholarly infrastructure is designed to adhere to international technical standards and follows the Open Science principles and practices with the new way research is conducted, disseminated, managed and transformed by digital tools, networks and media. For ensuring the discovery, access, interoperability, reuse and citation of digital research products, the FAIR Data Quality and Data Citation principles are applied.
Designed to meet the new needs of the research communities in Architecture, Arts & Humanities worldwide, the online search portal offers a single point of access to quality scholarly open content either published in the OA Hub or aggregated by external sources and enriched with extra information. The portal aggregates metadata, descriptive information that provides access to scholarly digital material that is published with Sipomata, the OA Publishing Management System, or deposited by scholars and researchers on the Data Repository of the OA Hub. Moreover, users of the portal can also search, browse and reuse digital research content harvested from external data and service providers, such as institutional repositories, research projects, publishers, archives, libraries, museums, (meta)data aggregators, among others.
The OA Hub in Arts, Humanities & Architecture is designed and developed by Efpalinos Publishing and co-financed by Greece and the European Union – European Social Fund, in the context of the “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation 2014 – 2020” (EPAnEK 2014 – 2020) Operational Programme, of the PA (Partnership Agreement for the Development Framework) 2014 – 2020 (ΕΣΠΑ 2014 – 2020), the new NSRF (National Strategic Reference Framework). Programme Beneficiary (Implementer) is solely Efpalinos Publishing.
