The Barcelona Declaration at the University of Milan: how to enable Open Research Information with free open tools such as DSpace-CRIS

Abstract

With the release of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information (DORI), the euroCRIS community has a leading role in promoting open research information worldwide. This is realized through the support to the Declaration and its implementation, the adoption of open policies—such as those implemented by the University of Milan—and the use open platforms, like AIR@UNIMI https://air.unimi.it/ , powered by IRIS and built on DSpace-CRIS. For nearly two decades, the University of Milan has adhered to these principles, positioning itself as a leader in advancing open research information in parallel to open access to scholarly outputs, while the global community continues to work toward similar goals.
