Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the very successful Open Repositories 2018 in Bozeman, Montana, USA, we would like to build on the conference theme of “Sustaining Open” with a Special Issue of peer-reviewed papers, which further develop individual presentations and the broader conference theme. We would like to invite you, as a presenter at OR2018, to contribute to this Special Issue.
There were over 200 submissions to Open Repositories 2018 and over 140 were accepted as conference papers, panels and developer talks across a range of themes, including:
- Open source software – sustainability of software developed locally and large open source systems, legacy code
- Community – reaching out to new audiences, developing a community, governance
- Content – research data, digital preservation, persistent urls, archiving
- Teams/People – staff and knowledge within the community, contingency planning, training and development, and succession planning
- Projects – sustainability of projects beyond the grant, maturing communities
- Infrastructure/Integrations – integrations between systems, changing technical environments
- Policy – national, international, local and community policy and decisions
- Challenges of Sustainability – funding, local, technical, community
- Rights and Copyright – including data protection, sharing and storing of content
- Reuse, Standards, and Reproducibility – for example software, data, content types
- New open technologies and standards
