OpenAIREstrives to ensure that its digital services are accessible to people with disabilities. OpenAIREhas invested significant resources to help ensure access for all users, including people with disabilities, with the strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.
Digital accessibility is not just a target we aim to achieve, but an ongoing commitment that we carry in every aspect of our digital service delivery. We recognize that this requires continuous monitoring, improvement, and adaptation. In the sections below, we elaborate on the various efforts that have been undertaken to address our progress in ensuring digital accessibility for all.
A key element of our accessibility initiative is our engagement with a third-party accessibility consulting organization UserWay to help bring the website into conformance. We use industry standard accessibility methods and tools to accomplish this, in accordance with the relevant version of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) the internet’s main international standards-setting organization.

ARGOS adapts to your policies, workflows, and oversight needs.
Whether you're funding research or supporting it across departments, ARGOS helps you collect, review, and monitor Research Management Plans with clarity.
Getting Started with ARGOS
Sign In
Step 1
Access your organisation’s dedicated administrative space to manage templates, coordinate workflows, and oversee planning across departments or funded projects.
You have full control over who does what and how planning is organised in your space.
Create Templates
Step 2
Templates are reusable forms used to describe specific outputs and research activities, like datasets, software, workflows, or ethical considerations. You decide the questions, guidance, field types, and what can be prefilled automatically.
Templates define what researchers need to provide in their plans. They help you shape what’s collected and how it’s presented.
Build a Blueprint
Step 3
Blueprints combine your templates into sections, define their order, and connect planning to internal workflows, including validation, review, and support. You guide what researchers see, how they complete it, and who’s involved.
Blueprints define the structure that guides how Plans are created and reviewed. They connect planning to your workflows, policies, and best practices, turning expectations into action.
For Research Institutions. Funders. Data Stewards.
ARGOS adapts to your policies, workflows, or oversight needs.
Whether you're funding research or supporting researchers across departments, ARGOS helps you collect, collaborate, and monitor Research Management Plans with clarity.
Coordinate Support Across Departments
“We want to help researchers plan well, without overwhelming them.”
ARGOS brings your teams together—ethics, legal, IT, data stewards, and more—into a single environment.
Assign roles and permissions across departments
Allow each unit to configure templates or guidance relevant to their role
Streamline internal workflows for review and approval
Share responsibility without losing oversight
One platform to manage support, improve quality, and reduce silos.
Align DMPs with Funder Policies
“We need to ensure submitted DMPs match our requirements and can be evaluated easily.”
ARGOS lets funders define and enforce their policies while easing the burden for researchers.
Provide your own templates and guidance
Set evaluation criteria and track compliance
Receive DMPs structured and pre-evaluated against your requirements
Connect to internal reporting systems for seamless integration
Define expectations, reduce administrative burden, and gain visibility over funded research.
Improve Reporting and Research Impact
“We want better insight into research data practices and the outcomes we fund.”
With ARGOS, you get structured, actionable information—not just PDF plans.
Monitor planning activity and adoption across projects or institutions
Analyse how outputs are managed, shared, and reused
Demonstrate commitment to FAIR, Open Science, and responsible RDM
Better data on data = stronger policies, improved support, and greater research impact.
Getting Started with ARGOS
Sign In
Step 1
Access your organisation’s admin space using the account provided by the ARGOS team. From here, you manage templates, coordinate planning, and oversee activities across departments and teams, like Ethics, Legal, or the DPO, all within a secure environment.
You have full control over your dedicated space while staying linked to the broader ARGOS ecosystem.
Configure Your Space
Step 2
Customise your environment to match your organisation’s tools and needs.
Your space = your rules. Tailored to support your policies, teams, and management workflows.
Organise Support
Step 3
Coordinate planning and communication across units directly through ARGOS.
Create roles and set permissions for your teams.
Give each group the access they need to configure templates, workflows, or guidance relevant to their role.
You control who’s involved, what they see, and how they contribute to the process.
Connect to Workflows
Step 4
Manage plugins, notifications, and view preferences. Control how ARGOS integrates with your internal systems, like repositories, CRIS, storage or export tools, and customise alerts and display settings to match your processes.
ARGOS fits into your existing workflows, not the other way around.
Automate Actions
Step 5
Use APIs and secure tokens to automate key actions across your planning workflows. Trigger publishing, push metadata to connected systems, or initiate reviews based on internal rules or planning stages.
ARGOS supports automation to reduce manual work and keep everything in sync.
Create Templates
Step 6a
Templates are reusable forms used to describe specific outputs and research activities, like datasets, software, workflows, or ethical considerations. You decide the questions, guidance, field types, and what can be prefilled automatically, with input from departments like Ethics or the Data Protection Officer (DPO).
Templates shape the content, e.g. datasets, ethics, software. They ensure Plans collect what matters to you.
Build Blueprints
Step 6b
Blueprints bring your templates together, define their order, and connect planning to internal workflows like validation, review, or support (IT, legal, etc). You guide what researchers see, how they complete it, and who’s involved in research support.
Blueprints shape the structure. They turn your planning process into clear, actionable steps across all actors.
Set Evaluation Criteria
Step 7
Define how Plans should be assessed across projects and departments. Create checklists or scoring rubrics to guide reviews, ensure compliance, and track alignment with your policies.
ARGOS helps you evaluate consistently and transparently, based on your own criteria.
