„European infrastructures need to respond to the emerging requirements for seamless and reliable access to publications, research data and software. These requirements are complemented by the need for long term preservation and curation of scientific information to fully support data and computing intensive science“. (European Commission 2016, p. 4)
Buddenbohm wonders how many and what types of publications and results are published under the VER use? Can all VER publications and results be clearly assigned? This criterion is, of course, also closely related to the subject-specific publication culture. (Buddenbohm et al. 2014, p. 18)
There should also be an increasing focus on other publishing opportunities, such as newsletter tools or blogs, or simple ways to share the content of the VER on social networks. (Rose 2015, p. 56)
