OpenAIRE has recently released its "Studies on Subject-Specific
Requirements for Open Access Infrastructure". Designed as a comparative
study covering five disciplines (Health, Climate, Agriculture, ICT,
e-infrastructures) it provides in-depth insight into researchers'
behaviour and current practices. With a focus on research workflows,
literature and data management the case studies address key questions on
how subject-specific needs can be represented in an Open Access
infrastructure. Moreover, each case study provides a vision and
principles for future information services to further exploit OA
principles from a disciplinary perspective as well as advices to future
directions for funding agencies.

The study is available both as an ebook and in individual chapters,
consisting of an introduction, six subject-specific case studies from
highly qualified subject specialists and a comparative conclusion.

About OpenAIRE
OpenAIRE (Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe) is a 3-year
European Commission (EC) funded initiative that supports the
implementation of the EC's Open Access Pilot and the European Research
Council's Guidelines for Open Access. Together with the recently
launched OpenAIREplus project both initiatives work towards the goal to
develop an Open Access participatory infrastructure for scientific
information.
