OpenAIRE supports the European Commission Open Access policy by providing an infrastructure for researchers to comply with the EU Open Access mandate. It advocates open scholarly communication and makes visible Open Access content from a network of institutional and disciplinary repositories. Exposure and visibility of content from a range of repositories, data archives and CRIS will be significantly increased when a common and interoperable approach is taken, as well as care to adhere to existing guidelines. OpenAIRE is starting to move from a publication infrastructure to a more comprehensive infrastructure that covers all types of scientific output. To put this into practice an integrated suite of guidelines were developed with specific requirements supporting the goal of OpenAIRE. By following the OpenAIRE Guidelines, managers of scholarly communication systems across Europe will be able to support authors to fulfill the EC OA requirements, as well as the requirements of other funders with whom OpenAIRE cooperates. This poster outlines the OpenAIRE Guidelines, highlighting the set of guidelines for Literature Repository Managers, for Data Archive Managers and for CRIS Managers, and presenting the Guidelines Wiki that provides a public space to share OpenAIRE’s work on interoperability and to engage with the repositories community.
