1. Earth-prints: A Geosciences Open Archive for Open Minded Geoscientists Anna Grazia Chiodetti INGV CNR, RomE, 10/5/2006

2. Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia is the largest European research institution in Geophysics and Volcanology. Its main mission is the study of geophysical phenomena in both the solid and fluid components of the Earth. This task includes the development and maintenance of monitoring instrumentation and infrastructures, as well as real time surveillance and early warning. INGV cooperates with universities and other research institutions. One of the most important cooperation is with PNRA Consortium (INGV is part of the consortium) in the frame of national research programs in Antarctica. The activities are charaterized by the seismic, geomagnetic and ionospheric monitoring, observation, data analysis and research during the summer and the winter season at Baia Terra Nova and Concordia. Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia

3. INGV Libraries Network The network is organized in 7 libraries located in Milano, Bologna, Pisa, Roma, Napoli, Catania and Palermo Libraries support INGV research activities Libraries promote and develop electronic resources in the fields of geophysics and volcanology

4. INGV Libraries Network Documentary collections: 15,000 books 500 print journals 2000 e-journals 200 ancient and rare books Specialized in: seismology, volcanology, physics of the earth’s interior, seismic and volcanic hazard and risk, geochemistry, physics of the upper atmosphere, geomagnetism Electronic services are available for every INGV scientist in the different sections located on the Italian territory

5. Earth Sciences disciplinary Open Archive Free accessible to researchers during the search, retrieval and the submission process Born in September 2005 from a collaboration between INGV and PNRA, is maintained by CILEA It is open to other institutions that develop research in earth sciences 765 documents are archived on Earth-prints Earth-Prints is

7. Collect, harvest, disseminate, and preserve research results in the field of Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Hydrosphere, Solid Earth and Earth Sciences disciplines in general Mission Objectives  Promote an international repository dedicated to the collection of documents related to highly specialized subjects with a great impact for research and the civil protection  Consolidate the impact of Geophysics research on the scientific community  Create an efficient system and fast method to disseminate the original ideas preserving the intellectual property on the contributions  Facilitate the communication and the dialogue between scientists of different countries

8. Earth-Prints Support open access movement Based on a open source software (DSPACE) Multicultural open archive (title, abstract and key words in English are mandatory) Tipology of the documents archived: manuscripts, published papers, books and book chapters, conference materials, theses, web products and data sets Accepted file formats: text, pdf, doc, avi, audio, tiff, jpeg, eps etc. Maximum dimension: 10 Mb

9. Earth-prints (2)  Daily alerting system by subject for registered users  Creative Commons licenses can be added to archived documents  Link to doi resolver and future connection to other tools to support research (Citebase and Paratools)  Information accessible and indexed by Google and Google Scholar ect.  Archive structure based on the disciplinary hierarchical structure  Backstage organization in communities that represents INGV Sections to facilitate the evaluation of the INGV products  Different policies for different community with different administrator  Guided submission of the contribution and help online

10. It is possible to activate a workflow for the metadata revision and the paper validation with different group of experts and editors related to the type of documents and to the affilation of the submitter Available online indices by author, title, year, journal title, kind of material etc. Free open access documents, possible restriction for documents protected by the publishers copyrights Register for id and password to submit an item Earth-prints (3)

11. Detailed metadata description for different kind of documents (personalized set of metadata related to the tipology of the contribution) Possible upload of several files for each item Permanent identifier of the paper - handle system Datastamp on the material archived Earth-prints (4)

12. DSPACE produced by MIT and HP between 2000-2002 OAI-PMH compliant – the standard allows service providers to harvest metadata to organize sophysticated and specialized search engines (es. METALIS http://metalis.cilea.it/)http://metalis.cilea.it/ OAIS Open Archival Information System guarantees interoperability and stability of the archive to facilitate the long term preservation Technology (software DSpace)

13. Disciplinary hierarchical three levels structure 5 big fields (disciplines), 28 classes e 178 subcategories

14. Copyright Deposited documents are property of the authors The researcher is responsible for the archived contribution The author guarantees that documents have no publishing constraints on the distribution He/she will inform other contributors that the paper will be archived on Earth-prints Documents protected by publishing rights should be accessible only to authorized users

15. Copyright When an author submits a paper to a journal must considerate… Publishers permit to modify the copyright transfer agreement during the publishing process. It is important to preserve the rights leaving to the editorial houses only the first publication permission. Preserve the rights on documents means self- archiving, teaching, disseminating the manuscript and publishing it again in other forms.

16. If a publisher…The author… Authorizes everythingIs happy Authorizes to archive the pre-print version Adds corrigenda after the review process Authorizes to archive the post-print Archives pre-print before the submission or before signing the copyright agreement Does not allow the deposit of documents Submits pre-print before the submission to the journal and adds corrigenda Suggestions to the authors

17. Copyright Creative CommonsCreative Commons offer a flexible group of licenses “some rights reserved” to protect ideas and creative products… and guarantee an intermediate level of protection of the property rights between the traditional copyright “all right reserved” and the public domain “no rights reserved”

18. Creative commons License Standard: Tipe 2.0 Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike

19. Policy Earth-prints is a tool to support research in Earth Sciences and to facilitate communication and cooperation in these disciplines between scientists of different countries The criteria for acceptance are:  Documents must be relevant in the fields of Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Hydrosphere, Solid Earth, and Earth Sciences disciplines in General  Documents must be ready to enter in the process of communication  The required metadata must be correct An archived document is in the public domain and will always remain available to the public

20. Archive promotion strategies Frequent meetings with researchers Deposit of oral presentations and posters before the beginning of a geophysics conference Communication to the participants of the meeting that the document is available on www.earth- prints.org Archive Logo + deposited to be added to conference posters Partecipation to geophysics and library science meetings

21. Brief communication on specialized mailing lists and newsletters Communication between researchers Partnership with other institutions Sponsors of the archive Promoting the archive (2)

39. Comments on earth-prints.org Good compromise between expectations of scientists and librarians A disciplinary forum permits the exchange of scientific results and documents Improve the impact of Geophysical research on the scientific community An article published on the web it is cited 7,5 times more then a printed article (Lawrence S., Nature, 2001)

40. The final question is… Why should I use Earth-prints? To ensure global availability and preservation of my work To make my research available even before publication (many publishers allow this) To make unpublished material available To participate in the Open Access movement, removing cost and permission barriers for users of scientific and scholarly research
