AB  - Serbian research community faces a major delay in the development of the national and institutional infrastructure for open science. To mitigate this, the University of Belgrade Computer Centre (RCUB) undertook to develop an interoperable, sustainable and affordable software and organizational model suitable for Serbian research organizations. The solution rests on the following pillars: a customized software platform based on DSpace: a separate instance installed for each organization (so far, a dozen and growing), all of them hosted, centrally maintained and further developed by RCUB; a set of tools and external applications developed to improve DSpace functionalities and respond to users’ needs (e.g. performing automated maintenance tasks, assigning ORCIDs, metadata normalization, massive metadata import, monitoring Altmetric scores, creating author profiles); standardized workflows and quality control; integration of repositories in international infrastructures;  flexible technical support and training for repository managers and users. In this model, the compliance with the OpenAIRE Guidelines for Literature Repositories v.3 is of paramount importance because the OpenAIRE infrastructure is heavily used, as there is no national system for tracking research outputs (e.g. CRIS). Apart from OpenAIRE, the repository content is harvested by BASE, Unpaywall, CORE and WorldCat. The platform is optimized for Google Scholar crawlers. Users are encouraged to deposit content types other than conventional research publications, and additional customizations are made, if necessary, to enable this (e.g. for spatial plans). Positive results are already apparent, the most important being: an increased visibility of Serbian research outputs, especially in humanities; 90–100% of deposits in humanities are OA; fairly high percentage of full-text content in repositories (75% on average); growing awareness in the local research community of repositories’ potential in scholarly communication. Priorities for further development include upgrading to DSpace 7 and compliance with OpenAIRE Guidelines v.4.

AB  - DSpace is an open source software package intended for creating digital archives. It is primarily used as a platform for open access repositories and it enables (1) archiving various types of documents in a variety of digital formats and describing them using a standardized set of metadata; (2) searching the repository content (metadata and full-text content, in case of textual documents); (3) importing and exporting the repository content and (4) disseminating it via
OAI-PMH. At the administration level, it is possible to assign and control user roles and access to metadata and deposited documents. The platform is customizable and it is available in multiple languages (community translations). The software package is developed and distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License by the non-profit organization Dura Space. DSpace is the most commonly used repository software: 43% of all repositories registered in OpenDOAR use DSpace as the platform. DSpace is also the backbone of Serbia’s (still underdeveloped) repository infrastructure, which heavily relies on a number of DSpace instances installed, customized and maintained by the Computer Centre of the University of Belgrade. These are namely the national repository of PhD theses (NaRDuS) and institutional repositories of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and three research institutes of the University of Belgrade. This case study deals with the institutional repositories established and maintained by the Computer Centre of the University of Belgrade. It presents the challenges faced during the processes of customizing the software platform, ensuring interoperability and integration with major international open science infrastructures, devising standardized workflows and procedures, and training administrators and users – librarians and researchers. The established institutional repositories serve as a powerful research dissemination platform, especially in those disciplines where print publications in local languages still prevail.
