## Biography

Miguel is a researcher in image processing at Centre Borelli (ENS Paris-Saclay, France), supervising three PhD candidates on different subjects: detection of falsifications in images based on JPEG artifacts, detection of falsifications based on noise analysis, and design of a new concept of satellite based on irregular interferometric sampling. Before, he worked in noise estimation and denoising of natural and hyperspectral images. His academic background is in applied math and computer science. http://mcolom.info

At IPOL, Miguel is a section editor and the designer of the current demo system, a distributed architecture of microservices. He manages the team of engineers that develops and maintains it.

## Interest in SIRS TF

Since the beginning of IPOL Miguel has had a strong interest in the quality and long-term durability of the system. This has led to re-implementing several parts until they were considered fully correct. He is really interested in knowing about other platforms like the ones participating in this TF, and to discover what others consider as good practices and great pitfalls.

Also, to know about solutions to common problems that many of the platforms in this task force share: how to archive efficiently, how to ensure reproducibility, how to manage different kinds of granularity when archiving, etc. IPOL has found solutions that IPOL believes are good, but Miguel is interested in knowing different solutions to the same problems by different platforms.

And finally, he thinks this initiative is absolutely needed to gather information on working platforms to arrive at conclusions about good practices that can be useful to others in terms of recommendations. Some kind of "design patterns", but understood as good practices at platform level and for particular tasks (execution of algorithms, archiving, referencing, etc.).

## Biography

Paolo Manghi is a (PhD) Researcher in computer science at Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione (ISTI) of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), in Pisa, Italy. His research areas of interest are today data e-infrastructures for science and scholarly communication infrastructures, with a focus on technologies supporting open science publishing within and across different disciplines, i.e. computational reproducibility and transparent evaluation of science. He is the CTO of the OpenAIRE infrastructure, involved in coordination and research in the H2020 projects OpenAIRE-Connect, OpenAIRE-Advance, OpenAIRE2020. Paolo is also involved in the research infrastructure projects SoBigDataPlus<fnref n="82" />, PARTHENOS, AriadnePlus, RISIS2 and in the European Open Science Cloud projects EOSpilot, eInfraCentral, EOSC Secretariat, EOSC-Enhance. He is an active member of Research Data Alliance WGs, member of EC projects advisory boards, of the ResearchObject.org<fnref n="83" />, GreyNet, RD-Switchboard initiative, Open Science Monitor WG for the European Commission, EOSC Architecture WG, GO FAIR GO Inter WG, and World Data System ITO Technical Advisory Committee.

## Interest in SIRS TF

Paolo's main research interests are on solutions to Open Science publishing workflows, in order to enable sharing, tracking, monitoring, reproducing, evaluating, rewarding the full scientific process. Recent history on this domain has been tackling these issues starting from Open Access to publications, moving to Open Access to data, FAIR Data, and now for the first time glancing at software as a first class citizen of scholarly communication. He is convinced that this step is necessary and key to move towards an overarching view of science, which is far from being implemented today. When looking at the Open Science roadmap, software should not be intended to be the only missing piece of the puzzle, as services, workflows, facilities are as important as overlooked by scholarly communication, but rather the so far ignored "elephant in the room".

**Biography**

Melissa Harrison manages the production department, ensuring the production process, managing content from acceptance to publication and downstream deliveries, is efficient and innovative. Having had editorial and production roles in journals and books at various publishing houses she cemented her preference for workflow, process, and XML within the journal production stage. Melissa chairs JATS4R and contributes regularly to the Force11, Metadata2020, Crossref and JATS communities, campaigning for standardization of data modelling to facilitate the flow of information between users in order to maximize the dissemination and reuse of knowledge. She promotes the machine readability of outputs of open science, including the use of PIDs to link people, institutions, resources, and outputs.

**Interest in SIRS TF**

As eLife has implemented best practice, open science, and reproducibility standards and led the effort with other publishers, the use and re-use of software as well as giving credit to software "authors" has been very difficult to implement and navigate. Melissa hopes to give the perspective of a publisher trying to do the "right thing" and the issues this involves, and why there is a need to simplify this in order to increase uptake at other journals.

### 6.3.8 Yannick Barborini

**Organization(s)**

HAL is the national multidisciplinary open archives platform chosen by French universities, top-ranking universities and research establishments as part of an inter-establishment agreement (2013), to allow their researchers to deposit their scientific production. HAL is operated by Centre for Direct Scientific Communication (CCSD), a joint service unit (UMS 3668) whose supervisory authorities are the CNRS, Inria, INRAE and the University of Lyon, with the financial backing of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI). HAL is part of the infrastructures included in the "National Plan for Research Infrastructures 2018-2020".

HAL collects and disseminates, via open access, documents produced through research (articles published in peer-reviewed journals, unpublished articles, communications, etc.) pertaining to all scientific fields. To date, HAL contains nearly 730,000 scientific documents and 2,300,000 bibliographic records. Document deposits (94,246 in 2019) are growing by around 20% per year.

The HAL platform also hosts 140 portals of higher education and research institutions. More than one-half of the French universities, research organisations and top-ranking universities. These portals constitute the institutional open archives of these organisations and allow them to implement their Open Access policy and manage their production.

**Biography**

Yannick Barborini is a software Engineer and has been working at the CNRS since 2005. He has participated in the development of different services offered to the entire scientific community: HAL of course, but also Sciencesconf (conference management platform),
Episciences (overlay journals) and Isidore (search engine in Humanities and Social Sciences). Currently, he leads the team in charge of developing and providing new services to the open archive HAL.

## Interest in SIRS TF

Yannick is convinced that research should be open and accessible. Scientific outputs are no longer limited to documents (articles, communications, etc.). HAL has opened software deposits in 2018 thanks to a collaboration between CCSD, HAL Inria and Software Heritage, but they have seen that the management of software items in the archive needs improvement.

Software should be seen as a first-class citizen like other scientific productions and Yannick believes this task force is a great opportunity to share experiences with other partners and to contribute to this goal.

### 6.3.10 Michael Wagner

## Organization(s)

Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (English: Leibniz Centre for Informatics). Schloss Dagstuhl's very general mission is to promote basic and application-oriented research in the field of informatics, to support advanced, scientific vocational training and to further education in the field of informatics, to promote the transfer of
knowledge between research into informatics and application of informatics, and to operate
an international forum and research institute for informatics.

Dagstuhl has pursued its mission mainly by facilitating communication and interaction
between researchers. Since the very first days of Dagstuhl in 1990, the seminar and
workshop meeting program has always been the focus of its programmatic work. In recent
years, LZI Schloss Dagstuhl has expanded its operation and also has significant efforts
underway in bibliographic services (the dblp computer science bibliography) and in open
access publishing.

dblp<sup>84</sup>: The dblp computer science bibliography provides open bibliographic information on major computer science journals and proceedings. Listing more than 5.1 million publications, dblp is the world's most comprehensive open data collection of computer science research articles.

Publishing: Since its beginnings, Dagstuhl has been publishing reports of its seminars and workshops which have been available free of charge, be it on paper or electronically. In reaction to the slow start of the open access idea in computer science and after receiving repeated requests from the community, Dagstuhl started in 2008 an open access publication platform for computer science research. The goal is not so much to become a large publishing house but to establish affordable open access publishing as a viable mode of publication in computer science.

The flagship product of Dagstuhl Publishing is the LIPIcs series<sup>85</sup>, which publishes
proceedings of outstanding computer science conferences.

## Biography

Michael Wagner has been a member of the scientific staff at Schloss Dagstuhl since 2012. He started there as part of the dblp team, but quickly took on his first task in the growing publishing department at the end of 2012. Since the end of 2017, Michael is now leading the publishing department full time. In addition to the operational publishing business, he is responsible for the development of their software systems together with a colleague.

## Interest in SIRS TF

Michael has a strong opinion that science should be open. All contributions - whether text, data, or software - should be freely available to the public. He also thinks that research results should not be in the hands of commercial service providers whose primary intention is to maximize profits. Even if this seems to change slowly in the publishing business (at least the open-access part is slowly increasing; the point affordable publication cost is unfortunately another tough topic), he now sees a great chance not to run into a similar dependency on commercial providers for the publication of data and software but to take an open path with fair and affordable conditions from the beginning. Therefore, Michael is happy to be part of this TF, to learn from the experiences of other members and hopefully to create an open path.

**Interest in SIRS TF**

Open access to data, codes, methods, and results of scientific research only unfolds its full potential, once it is possible to relate and interconnect them. Based on this, tools can be developed, which are of scientific and social relevance. A prerequisite for this is the existence of suitable scientific infrastructures based on the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). The partners in this TF support these principles. A common strategy to establish this infrastructure must be the TF's goal.
