Venues

A Venue is an entity that models a publishing “gateway” used by Person to make their Research products available to others.

Example:

Episciences is an overlay platform supporting the management of open-access journals on top of the Open Access repository HAL. In this context, episciences.org is a publishing Venue (journal, open access, open peer review), while HAL is a Data source. Articles published via episciences.org will be therefore linked to the respective journal (publishing Venue) and the data source HAL. However, HAL is also a publishing Venue for researchers that are directly uploading their Research product. More specifically, a publishing Venue with peer-review and some support for metadata curation. In this case, a Research product will be linked to HAL both as a publishing Venue and as a Data source.

Note

Each Research product must be associated with its publishing Venue and its Data source.
