U skladu sa globalnim naporima za jačanje dijamantskog otvorenog pristupa, u Srbiji je pokrenuta inicijativa za uspostavljanje Centra za podršku naučnom izdavaštvu u otvorenom pristupu u Srbiji. Inicijativu vodi KoBSON – Konzorcijum biblioteka Srbije za objedinjenu nabavku – uz podršku međunarodne organizacije EIFL (Electronic Information for Libraries), u partnerstvu sa formalnim i neformalnim institucionalnim centrima za podršku izdavaštvu širom zemlje.
Cilj ove inicijative je da objedini postojeće kapacitete, pruži koordiniranu i kontinuiranu podršku izdavačima, doprinese unapređenju profesionalnih standarda, vidljivosti i održivosti naučnih časopisa u otvorenom pristupu, kao i da ojača saradnju na nacionalnom i međunarodnom nivou. Posebna pažnja biće posvećena povezivanju sa sličnim centrima u drugim zemljama i umrežavanje sa Evropskim čvorištem za razvoj kapaciteta za dijamantski otvireni pristup (European Diamond Capacity Hub).
U Srbiji se trenutno objavljuje oko 500 naučnih časopisa. Većina omogućava besplatno objavljivanje i pristup naučnim radovima, bez finansijskog opterećenja ni za autore, ni za čitaoce (dijamantski otvoreni pristup). Ovi časopisi pokrivaju širok spektar naučnih disciplina, a njihovi izdavači su pretežno naučnoistraživačke organizacije, naučna i stručna udruženja, institucije kulture i druge neprofitne organizacije.
Javne institucije izdaju i veliki broj naučnih monografija i zbornika. Deo ovih publikacije je dostupan u otvorenom pristupu u institucionalnim repozitorijumima, ali zbog nedostatka odgovarajuće infrastructure i neadekvatne institucionalne regulative, mnoge publikacije još uvek su dostupne samo u štampanoj formi.
Biblioteke pružaju podršku naučnom izdavaštvu u Srbiji na više nivoa – od tehničke infrastrukture i savetodavne pomoći, preko obuke urednika i autora, izrade i uređivanja metapodataka, kontrole kvaliteta i usklađivanja sa standardima interoperabilnosti, do aktivnog učešća u uređivačkom i izdavačkom procesu.
Na ovim stranicama izdavači naučnih publikacija mogu naći standarde i smernice koje će im pomoći da poboljšaju kvalitet i vidljivost svojih publikacija.
Belgrade (Beograd) is the capital of Serbia having about 2 million inhabitants. Belgrade is situated in South-Eastern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula. It lies at the confluence of the Sava and Danube Rivers in north central Serbia, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkan Peninsula. Belgrade is the capital of Serbian culture, education, science and economy. As a result of its tumultuous history, many nations have been living in Belgrade for centuries, and Serbs of Orthodox Christian religion are the majority of the population (90%). The official language is Serbian, while foreigners usually use English in communication.

The project National Initiatives for Open Science in Europe – NI4OS Europe supports the integration of national Open Science Cloud initiatives in 15 countries in Southeast Europe into the EOSC governance. By doing this, it also builds infrastructure and creates a favourable environment for open and intensive scholarly communication.
The main instrument in achieving this is the network of national Open Science Cloud Initiatives (NOSCIs) established in the partner countries as national-level coalitions of Open Science (OS) stakeholders that have a prominent role and interest in the European Open Science Cloud. The concept of NOSCI has been developed in response to the specific traits and challenges in the targeted region, based on complex and multilayered analyses of stakeholders, policies and local contexts.
1. Landscaping: Challenges in the region
The challenges are largely determined by the diversity within the region, most notably:
NI4OS-Europe partners include both EU members and non-EU countries;
non-EU countries are less integrated in European OS networks;
the structure of OS stakeholders across countries varies;
the region is marked by a significant linguistic diversity, and
different research governance systems,
different policy traditions, and
varying levels of available funding.
NI4OS-Europe partner countries in Open Science networks and initiatives
NI4OS-Europe partner countries include both EU members (Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia) and Associated Countries (Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia), which are not equally integrated in European Open Science initiatives. The diagram shows the representation of the NI4OS-Europe partner countries in major Open Science and EOSC-related initiatives, research infrastructures and consortia. Colour coding is used to indicate various initiatives/infrastructures/consortia.
Hover your mouse over a segment to see the percentage of the partner countries represented in a specific initiative/infrastructure/consortium. Move from the centre to the periphery of the diagram to see the percentage of countries represented in multiple initiatives/infrastructures/consortia. For example, if you hover over the third layer from the centre (red) in the right half of the diagram, you will see the percentage of the NI4OS-Europe partner countries that are not EU members but are members of OpenAIRE and GEANT, or if you hover over the small green segment in the left half of the diagram, you will see the percentage of the NI4OS-Europe partner countries that are EU members and the the same time members of OpenAIRE, GEANT, CESSDA, DARIAH and have an RDA Node.
Open Science stakeholders in the NI4OS-Europe partner countries
The diagram shows the number and structure of Open Science stakeholders in the 15 NI4OS-Europe partner countries based on the dataset collected between early July and late October 2019, as part of the NI4OS-Europe landscape study. The stakeholders are classified into five groups based on their role in the research ecosystem:
FUND (research funders and policymakers),
CREATE (universities, research institutes, etc.), SUPPORT (libraries, repositories, research infrastructures, etc.),
CONSUME (organizations using research results in their work, e.g. SMEs) and
FACILITATE (individuals and organizations involved in promoting the principles off open science).
What do stakeholders expect from EOSC?
Despite local differences, the stakeholders' expectations from EOSC are similar and are closely related to scholarly communication.
The word cloud shows the most frequent concepts mentioned in response to the question “What do you expect from EOSC?” in the NI4OS-Europe landscaping survey conducted in the autumn of 2019.

3. Impact
NI4OS-Europe understands NOSCIs as inclusive national structures that provide all-round support to scholarly communities in the country, facilitate the FAIR sharing of knowledge & resources, co-shape the capacity building process and impact the national research ecosystems.
NOSCIs support scholarly communication in four main areas:
training and capacity building:
collaboration and awareness rising;
provision of services, and
tools for Open Research Dara Management and support.
The relevance of the presented analysis lies in the fact that the approach adopted by the NI4OS-Europe team could be applied in other highly diversified environments. This is confirmed by the NI4OS-Europe use cases, which demonstrate that the mechanism underlying the concept of NOSCI, based on an open and flexible interaction between challenges, as the input, and responses, as the output, could be adapted to and implemented in different local contexts.
