The OpenAIRE Initiative provides a networking infrastructure and e-infrastructure to support open science. This includes advocating for open science, ensuring global alignment and interoperability, and providing services like monitoring open science practices and impact. OpenAIRE is building a community gateway called OpenAIRE-Connect to implement open science publishing practices. It will serve as a virtual environment where researchers can find all research products in their discipline, publish according to open science principles, and monitor uptake of open practices. OpenAIRE-Connect links metadata and research products like publications, data, software, and more from over 500 million records harvested from 10,000+ sources to create a research graph.
