• Title: Mapping Climate Change Research via Open Repositories & AI: advantages and limitations for an evidence-based R&D policy-making
• Authors: Nicandro Bovenzi, Nicolau Duran-Silva, Francesco Alessandro Massucci, Francesco Multari, C\'esar Parra-Rojas, and Josep Pujol-Llatse
• Abstract summary: In the last few years, several initiatives have been starting to offer access to research outputs data and metadata in an open fashion. These platforms are opening up scientific production to the wider public and they can be an invaluable asset for evidence-based policy-making. To gain a comprehensive view of entire STI ecosystems, the information provided by each of these resources should be combined and analysed accordingly. Here, we study whether this is the case for the case for mapping Climate Action research in the whole Denmark STI ecosystem, by using 4 popular open access STI data sources.

• Abstract: In the last few years, several initiatives have been starting to offer access to research outputs data and metadata in an open fashion. The platforms developed by those initiatives are opening up scientific production to the wider public and they can be an invaluable asset for evidence-based policy-making in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI). These resources can indeed facilitate knowledge discovery and help identify available R&D assets and relevant actors within specific research niches of interest. Ideally, to gain a comprehensive view of entire STI ecosystems, the information provided by each of these resources should be combined and analysed accordingly. To ensure so, at least a certain degree of interoperability should be guaranteed across data sources, so that data could be better aggregated and complemented and that evidence provided towards policy-making is more complete and reliable. Here, we study whether this is the case for the case of mapping Climate Action research in the whole Denmark STI ecosystem, by using 4 popular open access STI data sources, namely OpenAire, Open Alex, CORDIS and Kohesio.

  This position paper proposes a data-centric viewpoint of AI research, focusing on large language models (LLMs) We make the key observation that data is instrumental in the developmental (e.g., pretraining and fine-tuning) and inferential stages (e.g., in-context learning) of LLMs. We identify four specific scenarios centered around data, covering data-centric benchmarks and data curation, data attribution, knowledge transfer, and inference contextualization.

  This paper introduces the SCIENCE-index, a blockchain-based metric measuring a researcher's scientific contributions. To incentivize researchers to share their data, the SCIENCE-index is augmented to include a data-sharing parameter. Our model is evaluated by comparing the distribution of its output for geographically diverse researchers to that of the h-index.

  Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) decision-makers often need to have a clear vision of what is researched and by whom to design effective policies. A major challenge to be faced in this context is the difficulty in accessing the relevant data and in combining information coming from different sources. Here, we present a proof-of-concept study of the use of Open Resources to map the research landscape on the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13-Climate Action, for an entire country, Denmark, and we map it on the 25 ERC panels.

We follow the principles etched in the platform name - ROSALIND stands for resource organisms with self-governed accessibility, linkability, integrability, neutrality, and dependability. The deployment of ROSALIND in our GWI study in recent 12 months has accelerated the pace of data experiment and analysis, removed numerous error sources, and increased research quality and productivity.
