DOV-QuaPub

DINI-OAI-Validator – Quality assurance for publication platforms

DINI, the German Initiative for Network Information, awards a Certificate for Open Access Publication Services to OA repositories and publication services that meet its catalogue of criteria. This certificate has been highly successful in promoting the practical implementation of common standards and recommendations for open science. The DINI-OAI Validator tool plays an important role in validating the adoption of these standards. Over time, it has moved beyond its certification remit to become a popular instrument for repositories that wish to effectively validate the quality of their service. After many years of successful operation, the DINI-OAI Validator needs a fundamental overhaul. The DOV-QuaPub project aims to update and upgrade this important service and adapt it to real-world user requirements.
