CR3: Reduce barriers to content acquisition for science researchersScience CommonsCR3 Report [PDF 193Kb].The Science Commons tool is being developed as part of the CR3 DART workpackage. It aims to reduce barriers to content acquisition by providing more rights options for science researchers. It applies Science Commons work to scientific research data and results, focusing on the Publishing area. It develops software that enables the attachment of standardized Creative Commons (CC) licenses. The current software being developed uses SHERPA/RoMEO as the resource for publisher copyright policies. To ensure researchers understand the rights of their publications, the software checks the publisher's conditions and/or restrictions before a publication is uploaded to the repository. If the publisher allows the publication to be archived, then the author/license creator can choose a CC license to grant more or fewer permissions for others to use their work under certain conditions. The software uses Fedora as the backend repository. It is also being developed to allow search of available publications under certain license(s). System Architecture
