With the KEEPER Service, you can easily sync and share your project data, and in addition, we take care that your work is properly archived in the Max Planck infrastructure. Convince yourself of the reliable and high performant file syncing algorithms and the built-in file encryption. Support your team with the KEEPER collaboration functionalities. With storing your data in KEEPER, you can be sure to fulfill the archiving regulations of the Max Planck Society as well as the German Research Foundation to ensure ‘good scientific practice.’ Or you deposit your data to the KEEPER Service after your project ends for long-term compliant archiving.
During this talk, you will also get the chance to hear about LabCam – a powerful tool to upload your real-time photos to the associated KEEPER account. LabCam gives you the possibility of customizing the storage path of the photos in KEEPER and modify the path at any time. Powerful OCR makes it easy to extract and store full-text from photos, and then users can edit it on their own devices with the .md file, which greatly improves the work efficiency.

Many journals require payment of “article processing charges” (APCs) to publish articles Open Access. MPDL strives to cover APCs for Max Planck authors by setting up agreements with publishers – our aim is to make Open Access publishing as easy as possible for Max Planck authors. Over 9000 journals are already available for publishing Open Access with central funding via the MPG Grundversorgung. This session will provide an overview of where to look for eligible journals and explain some criteria to receive OA funding.

Presented by Michael Franke | MPDL

Open Science practices become more and more a part of researchers‘ lives. Be it new funders’ or publishers’ requirements for publication of scientific papers or Research Data in Open Access, new ways of publication like preprints or Open Review or be it new paths to obtain scientific knowledge like Pre-Registration or Registered Reports, not to mention the importance of scientific software. MPDL will set up a series of pertinent talks to provide Max Planck researchers with the latest information on Open Science best practices, tools, platforms, and regulations.

The Research Information Observatory (RIO) is a technical and operational framework for quantitative information on research output, communication, and impact. The framework integrates data from a wide variety of sources from bibliographic, citation, and patent databases and is also covering media uptake and resource request logs. It supports a broad field of use cases with data management, statistical analysis, reporting, and visualization.
The services include publication profiles for MPG sections, institutes, working groups, and PIs which are prepared in close interaction with section representatives, research coordinators, and librarians. Publication profiles are applied for a wide range of purposes, e.g. strategic evidence, steering board and annual reports, grant applications. They include information on output channels, open access coverage, citation patterns, and collaboration networks.

Presented by Ralf Schimmer | MPDL

In the realm of scholarly communication, Projekt DEAL has been making global headlines over the past couple years and has brought significant benefits to researchers across Germany. Not only do the two DEAL agreements with Wiley and Springer Nature give researchers expanded reading access rights, but authors affiliated with the more than 900 DEAL institutions across Germany are entitled to keep copyright of their articles and publish them openly in thousands of high quality, peer-reviewed journals across all disciplines, without having to pay open access publishing fees (APCs).
The Max Planck Society has been heavily invested in DEAL since its inception and established MPDL Services GmbH as the legal entity to manage implementation of the nationwide DEAL agreements. The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) has acquired more than a decade of experience negotiating and managing similar agreements with publishers on behalf of all Max Planck Institutes to enable MPG authors to publish their articles openly in the journals of their choice. Through MPDL Services GmbH, that expertise is now also serving the broader German research community.
An expression of the Max Planck Society’s commitment to open dissemination of research, MPDL is also the driving force behind the global “Open Access 2020 initiative” and one of the key protagonists in the push for “Transformative Agreements” – i.e. contracts with publishers in which funds previously spent on subscription paywalls are repurposed to support open access publishing services.
