We are always at the forefront of Open Science making our content & knowledge available for all through the DSpace and 4Science official channels.

As leaders in the DSpace community, we are always active with presentations to share our knowledge and give our support.

We believe that together we can shape the future of Open Science and Open Knowledge

Conference presentations

We always engage in conferences with many different presentations to share our knowledge wih the audience. Afterwards, when available we share the recording for all to enjoy and learn.

Webinars

We engage in online and hybrid webinars both for conferences and community events where we always give our support presenting  cutting-edge technologies solutions and services to enable open science.

Community meetings

As Platinum Certified Providers of DSpace and leaders in the community, we play a crucial role in the community meetings where we share our ideals, and the latest Open-Science trends.

Live demonstrations

At events and webinars, we also share live demonstration of cutting-edge technologies to show the audience why we are recognized as DSpace community leaders and how 4Science can help your institution enabling the best service or solution tailored to your needs.

    • DSpace 7: MyDSpace – Manage Tasks  (DSpace 7: MyDSpace – Manage Tasks – YouTube) In this video 4Science shows one of its contributions to DSpace 7: My DSpace, particularly how to manage tasks. This is a complete reengineering of the functionality compared to the previous DSpace versions. Thanks to the infrastructure contributed by 4Science, it is now possible to index items in workspace and workflow, not yet published, providing search and filter support. 

     

    • DSpace 7: Data correction (Data Correction service for DSpace – YouTube) Aiming to achieve full impact by providing a benefit to the entire research community and supporting Open Access and Open Science policies that are spreading throughout Europe and beyond, 4Science has been engaged to extend two services to DSpace repositories. The Data Correction (based on the OpenAIRE Notification Broker), to enrich repository data by exploiting the vast amount of information made available by OpenAIRE, and the Publication Claim (based on the OpenAIRE Graph), automatically discovering new content produced by the institution’s researchers in the OpenAIRE Graph, thus reducing the manual input from researchers.

  • DSpace 7: 4Science – Live Import Framework Support for DSpace 7  (4Science – Live Import Framework Support for DSpace 7 – YouTube) This video demonstrates the *Live Import framework support in Submission Form*. Live Import framework support has been added to the Submission Form (and REST API /api/integration/externalsources endpoint) Search an external site for works to import (From your MyDSpace page, click the “Import metadata from external source” button in upper right). Currently supports Library of Congress Names, ORCID, PubMed, Sherpa Journals or Sherpa Publishers. Drag and drop a bibliographic file into Submission form or MyDSpace page to prepopulate metadata. Supported formats include ArXiv, CSV (or TSV), Endnote, PubMed, or RIS. 

 

  • DSpace7: 4Science – Controlled Vocabulary Support for DSpace7  (4Science – Controlled Vocabulary Support for DSpace7 – YouTube) This video demonstrates the *Controlled Vocabulary support in Submission Form*. Depending on the field configuration, this can include autocomplete of known terms (see default “Subject Keywords” field), dropdown support (see default “Type” field) and hierarchical tree views, includes support for Controlled Vocabs, Authority Control and “Value-Pairs” (from submission configs).

Introducing DSpace CRIS 7 – (Introducing DSpace CRIS 7 – June 2021 – YouTube) DSpace-CRIS is a comprehensive, free and open-source Research Information Management System (CRIS/RIMS), adopted by a significant number of institutions worldwide. It is based on DSpace, which enables organisations like Universities and Research Institutions to manage their publications and their data. DSpace-CRIS provides distinct and additional functionality, in particular an extended data model (Dublin Core / CERIF oriented) and the opportunity to collect, connect and share data from the entire Research ecosystem (papers, journals, people, organisation units, projects etc.) in a single solution: secure, robust, fully integrated and interoperable.
