After registering your journal/site to OpenAIRE a validation process will start and you will be notified of the results. Note that currently the validation will fail, because OpenAIRE is still lacking the required validation rules for the JATS format the new OpenAIRE plugin uses. However, this will not prevent your content of being registered to OpenAIRE.
