webinars will focus on how to implement the literature guidelines in
DSpace, EPrints and other repositories, highlighting the recent
updates in the OpenAIRE infrastructure and the main changes in the
last version of the guidelines. The latest changes in the OpenAIRE
guidelines are intended to guide repository managers to expose to the
OpenAIRE infrastructure not only the EC funded research results, but
also publications funded by other </span>national or international
funders.</p>
