We invite to the Workshop Citations and Open Scholarly Metadata (WOOC) researchers, scholarly publishers, funders, policy makers, institutions, and open citations advocates, interested in the widespread adoption of practises for creation, sharing, reuse and improvement of open scholarly metadata.

This year edition of the workshop will gravitate around the following theme:

“Open Access of Research Information”

In particular, the first day will be dedicated to the Bologna Meeting on Open Research Information, to encourage discussion between the signatories and supporters of the Barcelona Declaration and other interested bodies and collaboratively orient the common roadmap, thus allowing the articulation of the outcomes that have recently been discussed during the Paris Conference on Open Research Information.

The second day will be dedicated to invited contributions, presentations and a poster session selected among the participants in the call for contributions on the workshop theme.

The participation to both the days of WOOC 2025 is open to everyone, and in particular OpenCitations and the WOOC organizing committee aim to welcome the signatories and supporters of the Barcelona Declaration, and anyone interested in Open Research Information in an interactive event that aspires to encourage the incubation of ideas to strategically orienting the development of practices in open research information.

The Workshop on Open Citations and Open Scholarly Metadata 2025 will be organized in the spaces of the University of Bologna, one of the signatories of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information and CoARA, of which it is also leader of the CoARA National Chapter.
