description: In the current scholarly communication ecosystem, it is not an easy task to apply Open Science<br> principles and to keep the diverse types of research outputs visible, easily discoverable and<br> connected. In order to support the shift towards Open Science, the OpenAIRE initiative introduces<br> and implements the concept of Open Science as-a-Service (OSaaS) on top of the existing OpenAIRE<br> infrastructure (www.openaire.eu), by delivering out-of-the-box, on-demand deployable tools in<br> support of Open Science.<br> This report presents the activities carried out in the OpenAIRE-Advance project to promote and<br> ease the adoption of Open Science publishing practices in the context of three research<br> infrastructures: ELIXIR-GR (https://www.elixir-greece.org/), DARIAH-EU (https://www.dariah.eu/)<br> and the Italian node of EPOS (https://www.epos-ip.org/). This is done by building Open Research<br> gateways thanks to the OpenAIRE Research Community Dashboard (RCD) and by experimenting<br> on the concept of “continuous, on-demand publishing workflows”.<br> OpenAIRE delivered Open Research Gateways to DARIAH-EU and ELIXIR-GR, offering a view of the<br> OpenAIRE Research Graph that includes the research products published by their members. Work<br> is ongoing to fine tune their configurations and increase the coverage of the identified research<br> products. This includes the refinements of the OpenAIRE full-text mining algorithms and the<br> identification of relevant data sources and projects. In particular, ELIXIR-GR identified a relevant<br> subset of tools and software available via bio.tools (https://bio.tools/), a registry of software and<br> databases for biological and biomedical sciences that has been aggregated into the OpenAIRE<br> Research Graph as one of the first software repositories. DARIAH-EU, instead, established contacts<br> with both NAKALA (https://www.nakala.fr/), which is a service to deposit, document and<br> disseminate research data, and TextGrid (https://textgrid.de/en/), a virtual research environment<br> for the creation, curation and publication of digital scholarly editions. As a result, NAKALA<br> developed an interoperability framework to become OpenAIRE compliant. Implementation is<br> planned to end in Autumn 2019.<br> The DARIAH-EU and ELIXIR-GR teams are also investigating on the infrastructure services that<br> could be used for piloting the concept of “continuous publishing”. Especially important directions<br> of the future development will be exploring synergies between the RCD, the nascent Open<br> Marketplace of the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC)<br> (https://sshopencloud.eu/), the Hellenic data service Helix, and the new Cloud Infrastructure (EG-<br> CI) for the on-demand execution of bioinformatic, container-based workflows produced by the<br> ELIXIR-GR community.<br> With EPOS Italy (EPOS-IT), a use case for experimenting on continuous publishing with the EPOSAR<br> service has been defined. A pilot implementation is planned to be delivered by the end of 2019.
