One of these questions is how openness of research can be optimally exploited through the internet, in order to tackle research problems previously impossible to analyse and also in order to increase time effectiveness and cost efficiency. Hence, research is transforming constantly by capabilities of new technologies: \"Collaboration is growing for a variety of reasons. Developments in communication technologies and cheaper travel make it easier than ever before for researchers to work together, the scale of research questions, and the equipment required to study demands that researcher are mobile and responsive\" (Royal Society, 2011). Openness in the internet shall ease the collaboration of researchers around the globe and the sharing of resources. This is often referred to as Open Access (OA). Originally, OA activities were referring predominantly to text-based publications. More recently, topics such as Open Data or Open Science were entering the discussion. In order to adopt a neutral stance in this study, it should be noted that OA is not presupposed as an imperative requirement for research. Specific aspects of research may require access restrictions, among them quality considerations, competition, privacy and security. The question posed in this study is rather, in which parts of research is OA beneficial for research itself and in which parts could OA even being regarded as a restriction for the function of research? What makes this study unique? While other studies point out issues like communication, archival publication or data sharing, curation and re-use, our study addresses the interplay between subject specificity, OA and infrastructure. The combination of case studies provided by highly specific and renowned institutes and authored by subject experts shall shed light on the diversity of research cultures. Five different research disciplines will be thoroughly described in order to show principles of existing research infrastructures and draw conclusions for a roadmap."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.2390/PUB-2011-2"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/57059"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Universitätsbibliothek"],["dc.publisher.place","Bielefeld"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-943363-00-5"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Studies on Subject-Specific Requirements for Open Access Infrastructure"],["dc.title","Introduction"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The chapters in this study present subject-specific views on OA infrastructure for research by analysing research workflows as well as researcher behaviours. They specifically take into account two aspects, namely (i) working with literature and (ii) working with data. Throughout the preceding chapters and throughout this chapter, the topic of OA infrastructure is centred on digital resources. Even though there are many transitions between physical and digital resources mentioned – for example, between the human researcher and the computer or a digital resource, and the physical, experimental as well computational facilities – these transitions will not be addressed explicitly in most of the cases for the sake of lingual simplicity. The following sections will discuss commonalities of and differences between the different presented views on OA infrastructure and formulate recommendations for supporting the development of infrastructure (e.g. through funding initiatives) under specific consideration of the question how principles of “openness” or OA can be applied. In line with the qualitative approach of this whole study, the synthesis will be provided as an interpretative account. When comparing the chapters, the most obvious observation can be summarised in one word: diversity. Attempting to provide a synthesis, the following sections will consequently analyse the commonalities and differences. This is done first on a high conceptual level and then on a detailed, systematic case-by-case basis. Thus, the resulting qualitative, rather than quantitative, account shall inform strategic decisions for future developments with respect to conceptual rather than procedural aspects. The specific measures, programmes or plans are assumed to be the result of these strategic decisions."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.2390/PUB-2011-3"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/57334"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Universitätsbibliothek"],["dc.publisher.place","Bielefeld"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-943363-00-5"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Studies on Subject-Specific Requirements for Open Access Infrastructure"],["dc.title","Subject-Specific Requirements for Open Access Infrastructure"],["dc.title.subtitle","Attempt at a Synthesis"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
