Gateway on the Cloud

Full IT support of the service: hosting, installation, maintenance, upgrade, backups. Ensures reliable and secure cloud deployment on the OpenAIRE infrastructure, providing scalable and accessible cloud services.
Gateway Customisation

• Personalize Your Gateway: Customize your menu, edit pages, and align your visual identity with custom logos, banners, backgrounds, buttons, and colors. Managers on the Advanced and Premium plans can also request additional pages.
• Custom Home Page: Add your personalized content, statistics, documentation, and best practices to the home page.
• Set Inclusion Criteria: Define which research products to include.
Automatic Update  Content in your gateway is automatically updated approximately once a month, every time the OpenAIRE Graph is refreshed - one of the largest, most accurate, and highly interconnected Scholarly Knowledge Graphs
Unlimited Number of Managers

Collaborate to curate and customize your gateway, with no limit on the number of managers.
Smart Search & Browse

Find research records in your community easily with simple and advanced search options. Use filters like Fields of Science and UN Sustainable Development Goals to narrow down your search.

Is your community organized by themes or countries? With the Advanced plan, you can browse through different sub-communities.

Want to see research products by organization? This new feature will be available soon with the Premium plan!

Fields of Science & SDGs Classification

Discover how your research community contributes to various disciplines and advances the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Your community's publications are automatically categorized by SciNoBo, a system developed by an OpenAIRE member, that organizes research into specific scientific fields and aligns it with the SDGs. Learn more at OpenAIRE SDGs and FOS.

Research Linking Functionality
  • Add Research Products: Allow users to contribute their research products to the gateway, enriching the community's research records.
  • Create Links: Users can link research products to one another and to project grants. See the guide.
  • Claim Authorship: Researchers can claim their work by linking it to their ORCID ID. Learn more.
Customised Text Mining

OpenAIRE uses advanced text mining algorithms to enrich your community's scholarly record, linking publications to funding projects, affiliations, research data, software, patents, and more. Learn more.

Looking for more? With an Advanced or Premium plan, you can access a customized text mining solution to enhance your gateway’s coverage or further enrich your community's research records. Examples include:

  • Analyzing acknowledgements in publications to identify references to research infrastructure.
  • Analyzing full-text Open Access publications to uncover mentions of facilities, instruments, devices, or datasets.

Charts for Open Science Insights

Monitor the adoption of Open Science practices in your community through clear, easy-to-read charts. Track data on Open Access publications, datasets, geographic distribution, datasets with persistent identifiers, download counts by year, and changes in access rights over time.
