| Resumo: | With the support of OpenAIRE, Open Scholar has coordinated a consortium of five partners to develop the first Open Peer Review Module (OPRM) for open access repositories. The consortium includes: 1. The institutional repository of the Spanish National Research Council (DIGITAL.CSIC); 2. The institutional repository of the Spanish Oceanographic Institute (e-IEO); 3. The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA) in Catalonia; 4. The Multidisciplinary Laboratory of Library and Computer Sciences (SECABA) in Granada, and 5. The company of DSpace professional development and services ARVO. The project envisions the gradual conversion of existing open access repositories into fully-functional evaluation platforms that will provide the capacity needed to bring back research quality control to the community of scholars and help bridge the gap between academic institutions and publishers. The OPRM has been initially developed as a plugin for repositories using the DSpace software package, but is designed in a way that will facilitate subsequent adaptation to other repository software suites such as EPrints and Invenio. Installation of the OPRM on an institutional or other open access repository will enable the formal review of any digital research work hosted in this repository by an unlimited number of peers. Importantly, this evaluation system is open and transparent. Open means that the full text of the reviews will be publicly available along with the original research work. Transparent means that the identity of the reviewers will be disclosed to the authors and to the public. Weighted reputation metrics are calculated for individual articles, reviews, authors and reviewers. In summary, the OPRM aims to capitalize on the existing infrastructure offered by open access repositories and to enable their conversion into fully-functional evaluation platforms with associated quality metrics. This repository-based evaluation process can run in parallel to traditional journal peer review and will: 1. Enable the peer review of any research work deposited in a repository, including data, code and monographs; 2. Provide novel metrics for the quantitative assessment of research quality; 3. Create a sophisticated reputation system for reviewers; 4. Allow the weighting of reviews based on the quality of previous reviewer contributions; 5. Facilitate the selection of relevant content from digital repositories by distinguishing material that has been validated by reviewers using tags and advanced search filters, and 6. Engage the research community in an open and transparent dialogue over the soundness and usefulness of research material. The open peer review module will be tested in two major Spanish repositories: e-IEO and DIGITAL.CSIC. |
