Poster description:

Nobody wants to get something unwanted, like spam. The increase of spam content has become a problem in our digital era, and therefore it also affects digital repositories. Hosting spam can have an impact on a service, i.e. the actual hardware costs of storing it, getting skewed usage statistics, including distribution of material that violates copyright, and, most importantly, serving undesired content to users. Zenodo is a generalist research repository fostering open science practices. As the barrier for submissions is low, it is an easy target for spam. The repository’s staff has spent many hours manually detecting spam content, a process now assisted by an automated spam classification system, which still does not produce satisfactory results. Improvements of this classifier were based on an in-depth study of Zenodo’s data, a descriptive analysis, and feature extraction to corroborate expert knowledge gathered over years by Zenodo’s staff, as well as on a literature review of related topics such as spam classification in emails. Several types of neural network models were tested, displaying promising results for future integration. However, as the false positive rate is still unacceptable, Random Forest classifiers still prevail over neural network models.

Poster description:

Recently, many Arab governments have adopted open government data policies, whereby web technologies are harnessed to provide access to government data.  The study’s problem lies in the fact that open data practices in the Arab world are relatively recent and are still in their nasal stages, making those practices the subject of constant criticism and evaluation to develop and improve them to be consistent with international practices. Moreover, there is no research carried out to identify the extent of the Maghreb Arab states’ progress in this field. The government open data portals in the Maghreb countries (Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia)  are considered the gateway to studying the reality of open data services in those countries. Moreover, through them, it is possible to identify the extent to which government policies have achieved the goals set in this regard. This study explores the current practices used in preserving and sharing data in open data portals in the Maghreb countries and assessing whether its structure and organization of data on these portals are consistent with the goals for which these portals were established. To achieve this, a set of criteria and characteristics that open data portals must meet have been developed and then used as a framework for analysing the structure and organization of data for open data portals in the Maghreb countries. The study sample included three open data portals on the Internet: the Arab Maghreb countries’ portals (Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco). In order to analyse the portals selected in the study sample, a list of 47 criteria was developed. This study’s results are thought to help achieve a better understanding of the current open data practices in the study sample and propose suggestions that would help improve the current initiatives.

Poster description:

PeruCRIS is the Peruvian project for setting up and operating a National Information Network on Science, Technology and Technological Innovation. It is based on open source software and open standards,
especifically as an extension of the already existing network of Peruvian open access repositories. The network is designed to be interoperable with CRIS systems and Open Access Repositories, and also to allow for direct submission into the National central hub (PeruCRIS Platform) from institutions and researchers. PeruCRIS Platform goes beyond mere aggregation, supporting data normalization, enrichment and curation
for collected data, and direct editing in the Directorios. These roles are reserved for Concytec staff, and serve as a means for ensuring data completeness, accuracy and general quality. A particular CERIF profile
and a set of controlled vocabularies are being developed in order to accommodate for particular information needs of national scope. An initial partial release of main directories is scheduled for Q2 2021.

Poster description:

Many repositories do not work with publishers on a regular basis but that is not true for AgEcon Search, the subject repository in agricultural and applied economics. With journal articles as the most common document type and over 40 professional societies among the 340 groups that contribute material, we have formed a number of different relationships with publishers. The most common is that AgEcon Search hosts material initially created and made available by a small (often professional society) publisher. In one uniquely beneficial case, we receive and upload pdfs of each individual article from a large commercial publisher after an embargo period. In an opposite, negative situation, we were asked by a publisher to
remove years of articles after a society moved to a large commercial publisher and all older material was placed behind the publisher’s paywall. In recent, new collaborations, we assist publishers with creating DOIs, and are negotiating to serve as the pre-print server for one society journal that contracts with a commercial publisher. We encourage other repositories to consider how they might work together with publishers to make research materials more widely available, including institutional repositories whose
faculty serve on national or international society journal editorial boards.

In 2019, Cornell University Library (CUL) made the decision to migrate multiple institutional repositories from bepress into eCommons, its locally supported DSpace instance. When migration project planning began in February of 2020, we could not have anticipated the impact the COVID-19 pandemic would soon have on our work. We’ll share some background–how Cornell ended up with multiple institutional repositories and our rationale for consolidation, and then describe the work itself, with particular focus on the challenges and approaches we used to successfully complete this project during a pandemic, with all staff making an abrupt and unplanned transition to working remotely.

In this study, we developed a recommender system for OpenMETU which is the open archive of Middle East Technical University. Our system recommends items by using a content-based approach. In the content-based approach, the properties of items are vital due to the recommendations are based on them. Our recommendation system is based on the author, abstract, title, and subject similarity. To calculate these similarities, first of all, we extract features of each item by using natural language processing algorithms such as TF-IDF and Universal sentence encoder. We use cosine distance to measure the similarity between two items. Later, we give different weights to each of the similarities to calculate the overall score. Our system recommends the most similar 5 items to the visitor who visits an item in our archive.

Poster description:

Institutions are often apprehensive when moving their repository to a new repository system, as this will affect hundreds of thousands of records collected over decades and the discoverability of their institution’s
research. This poster will present statistics on item usage and discovery after repository migration, using data from an external independent repository monitoring service to show an increase in usage of up to 250% and explain how this can be achieved.

Poster description:

Many translation projects in the Arab world were not implemented, or were delayed, due to manual translation processes and/or budgetary reasons. The poster proposes the use of Artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of Arabic machine translation (MT) to develop an Arabic Terminology Management System (TMS), followed by human Post-editing of machine-translation output. The system shall ease the translation process and generate output products, such as glossaries and taxonomies.
