Detailed Information on Publication Record

1. Managerial summary The Open Access Publishing Platform (OAPP) is a basic content element containing documents, metadata and related entities of the KOMIS structure. At present (2021) in the sector of science, research and innovation in Slovakia, there is no platform designed to support the online publication of journals, books and other documents and which would facilitate the acquisition, storage, long-term protection and access to documents. CVTI does not yet operate such a platform. Over the last 15-20 years, a number (approximately 25) of partial systems, agendas and services have been put into operation at CVTI SR, which are often single-purpose, incompatible and inefficient. OAPP is a centralized platform that means a new system as a service. The novelty of the OAPP lies in the fact that, in the spirit of the "once and for all" requirement, it supports the overcoming of the hitherto applied fragmented approach in the publication and use of data and metadata in CVTI services. In its requirements for OAPP, the contracting authority requires that OAPP be a platform for publishing magazines and books. At the same time, however, it requires an effective link to specific fragmented agendas and data sources in which data and metadata are handled in multiple ways. The OAPP must ensure that it works with all types of documents, not just articles and books, because the agendas with which the OAPP platform is to be linked work with all types of texts, images, sounds and audiovisual materials. The link between OAPP and MDM is crucial, especially due to the fact that in the phase of creation and publication, a substantial, master part of data is created for the master data entity (Master Maxi Record (MMR)) that can be used repeatedly in various modules and outputs. The centralized OAPP platform integrates the required services in the KOMIS system through one common universal data set in the repository (data, metadata), which will cover all requirements hitherto imposed on individual isolated systems and services in which data and metadata were created and made available multiple times. Natural persons must have the international identifiers ORCID or VIAF or normative national identifiers. The documents have a DOI, SICI, URI, URN or normative national identifiers. Mainly DOI is used to link documents and citations via open source CROSSREF. Corporations have a VIAF ID or other system of institution identifiers adopted for the COMMISSION. Data and metadata input in selected modules will be performed via a simple form (subset) of a universal data set with all specific data so that it is possible to configure the outputs according to the specific needs hitherto covered by separate agendas. The added value of OAPP in the context of KOMIS and CVTI services can be, after the relevant legislation, the guarantee of long-term reliable archiving of final and qualification theses (eg in the Rosetta system or in another repository). By guaranteeing long-term archiving in accordance with the amended Act on Higher Education Institutions, CVTI will ensure that higher education institutions are relieved of this obligation.
