Open science and scholarly publishing practices by Daphne Duin
The document discusses open science and scholarly publishing practices. It defines open science as making research transparent and sharing data, methods, and conclusions openly. Open science includes open data, open access, open notebooks, and open source. Its goals are to increase return on investment in research, accelerate dissemination of results, improve rigor and integrity, enable new discoveries through data reuse, and enhance learning and public engagement. However, open science also presents challenges for publishing workflows, intellectual property, and ethics. Alternative metrics, enhanced publications, and platforms like Scratchpads can help promote open science while addressing these challenges.
Building development trajectories
Building development trajectories refers to the path being followed by the development of built environments. This path can be influenced, and change, depending on external factors such as economic climate, client preferences, legislation and fashion. It can also be intentional and have a specific direction and destination that is established and followed by government and users, owners, planners and designers of built environment.
The scale and nature of social, economic and environmental pressures, climate change and the limited resources to address these challenges mean that new built environment development models need to be developed. This paper describes, and reviews, a sustainable development model for the built environment that addresses these issues. The model aims to ensure that sustainability is not just a consideration in the development of built environments, but is integrated in way that defines and directs building development trajectories.
The theoretical basis of the model is described and a tool and methodology for application presented. The review and discussion of the model and tool is undertaken and recommendations for further research and development are made.

This document summarizes key points about intellectual property rights (IPR) considerations for a digitalization partnership between three Belgian institutions - NBGB, RBINS, and RMCA - called Be-TAF. It discusses IPR best practices for openly licensing content, managing copyright risks for different date ranges of publications, and models for rights agreements. It also examines some controversial edge cases and considers scientists' views that publicly funded research results should be widely disseminated with proper citation. The conclusion is that while efforts will be made to avoid infringing content, some risk cannot be eliminated and a notice-and-takedown policy should be implemented to manage any issues.
Assessing social and economic impacts of building materials
This document summarizes and evaluates methodologies for assessing the social and economic sustainability impacts of building materials. It reviews lifecycle assessment and other environmental methodologies, finding limited tools for social and economic measures. The paper explores applying existing standards like the Global Reporting Initiative and ISO 26000 to building materials in South Africa. It concludes that while current tools provide a starting point, no system fully supports standardized social and economic impact assessments for building products. A new index approach is proposed to fill this gap.
