This document summarizes a digital natives seminar about open access publishing and predatory journals. It discusses rising journal prices, copyright issues for faculty publishing work, different types of open access like gold and green open access. It describes benefits and issues with open access like identifying predatory journals. It provides resources for evaluating journals and understanding publisher policies on self-archiving. It introduces the institutional repository Constellation that Benedictine University uses to provide open access to scholarly works.
Presentation given at the University of Sydney, 11 October 2013. An introduction to open access publishing for academics in the humanities and social sciences.
Open access (OA) to scholarly literature recently hit a major milestone: Half of all research articles published become open access, either immediately or after an embargo period. Are the articles you read among them? What about the articles you write? Are the journals to which you submit open-access friendly? What about the journals for which you peer review? Are there any reasons why the public should not have access to the results of taxpayer-funded research?
In this slideshow, Jill Cirasella (Associate Librarian for Public Services and Scholarly Communication, Graduate Center, CUNY) explains the motivation for OA, describes the details of OA, and differentiates between publishing in open access journals (“gold” OA) and self-archiving works in OA repositories (“green” OA). She also dispels persistent myths about OA and examines some of the challenges to OA.

Opportunities and Challenges of establishing Open Access Repositories: A case...Sukhdev Singh
National Informatics Centre had established a subject repository in May 2005. It is meant for Medical and Allied Sciences and named as OpenMED@NIC . It has MeSH® based subject categorization and this makes it one of its own kind. Taking OpenMED@NIC as a case – this paper discusses key issues in establishing and maintaining an open access repository. Librarians and information science professionals can play active role in providing access and exposure to quality research and academic content generated in their institutions. Mature and standard open sources softwares are now available for setting up repositories. Libraries can install one of these on existing institutional or library servers to setup repositories. However to ensure better access and faster response time dedicated hardware and reliable connectivity would be required. Librarians and information science professional can play important role in exposing intellectual content produced by their organizations. They can take of various roles like – generating awareness among staff, researchers and students about benefits of self arching in institutional or subject repositories; training them in uploading their articles and other documents in such repositories; acting as meta-data editors and repositories managers. Establishing a repository, administrating and inviting authors to deposit their articles and other works in it is golden opportunity available to librarians and information science professionals. This opportunity should be grabbed with open hands.
Open Access and PLOS: The Future of Scholarly Publishing - Dr. Virginia BarbourUQSCADS
In this presentation, Dr. Barbour discussed the emergence of open access from traditional publishing models, the current open access landscape where PLoS journals have foreshadowed the development of megajournals as well as predicting future developments.
In defining the Open Access Publishing model, Dr. Barbour emphasized the crucial role creative commons licences play in ensuring that research is not only available free to view online, but is able to be re-used.

Predatory publishing: pitfalls for the unwary. 25 Oct 2013Simon Huggard
Presentation given at the Library Research Forum, La Trobe University, 25 October 2013. Discusses issues with predatory publishers and what to check. Discusses open access publishing in an institutional digital repository
Predatory publishing: what it is and how to avoid itUQSCADS
There are currently approximately 28,000 journals publishing 1.5 million papers annually. Although the majority of new journals are legitimate, the credentials of some are questionable. Such journals and publishers are referred to as 'predatory'. They commonly send spam emails to potential authors, solicit submissions and request payment of article processing charges, but lack academic rigor or credibility.
This presentation provides researchers with
an insight into predatory behaviors and and how they can avoid them.

Access to Research, Sci-Hub, and the Honor Code: Ethical DilemmasSarah Crissinger
Sci-Hub’s mission is to remove barriers to research and knowledge production, particularly for unaffiliated researchers or researchers in developing countries. Yet, recent research suggests that Sci-Hub is also heavily used by researchers on college campuses, which makes this an important issue for the Davidson community to grapple with.
The panel will address several questions, such as: What is ethical for Davidson students to do in connection with Sci-Hub? Stealing is forbidden by the Honor Code, but does downloading papers from Sci-Hub represent illegal or unethical theft? Does the law dictate what’s ethical here, if access to scientific papers is normally restricted exclusively to those who can afford to purchase them, individually or through their school? How are our value judgments influenced by our own privilege and access to information?

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. Publisher (Typically) Retains Copyright
Myth
Faculty can freely use their own
published content in courses they
teach.
Fact
This is often not true. If you
transferred your copyright to the
publisher at the time of
publication, as most authors do,
the publisher may restrict your
right to re-use your content.

5. Open Access
In 2002, the Budapest Open Access
Initiative defined open access as the
“world-wide electronic distribution of
the peer-reviewed journal literature and
completely free and unrestricted access
to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers,
students, and other curious minds.”
6. Gold Open Access
Author publishes with an open access publisher and the work is freely available
from the moment of publication.
7. How It Works
• Open Access Journals
• Publisher may be commercial or nonprofit.
• Article published under Creative Commons Attribution License.
• Author retains copyright.
• Various funding strategies:
• Article Processing Charges (APC)
• Subsidies from institutions
• Advertising
• Membership fees
• Hybrid Journals
• Delayed Open Access Journals
8. Peer Reviewed Open Access Journals
• The economic or access policy of a journal doesn’t determine its peer
review policy. Most scholarly journals , whether open access or
controlled-access, follow peer-review procedures.
• Public Library of Science (PLoS) – Nonprofit publisher
• BioMed Central (BMC) – For-profit publisher
• Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) – Nonprofit index
9. Benefits of Open Access
• Increase visibility
• Study on Nature Communications
• Wellcome Trust report
• Accelerate pace of academic inquiry
• Human Genome Project
• Comply with funder mandates
• Gates Foundation
• White House Directive
Source: Open Access at Nature Research: Benefits for Authors
10. Predatory Publishers
• They exist to make money by taking advantage of the “author-pays
model” of open access journal publishing.
• They engage in questionable business practices, such as charging
excessive author fees or failing to disclose publication fees to
potential authors.
• They fail to follow accepted standards of scholarly publishing,
particularly in regards to peer review.

11. Federal Trade Commission v. OMICS GROUP INC.
• Lawsuit filed in August 2016
• Allegations:
• Publisher hides its fees until the papers have been accepted, making it
difficult for authors to pull their articles and submit to other journals.
• Many articles are not peer-reviewed.
• Many scientists listed on editorial boards never agreed to appear there.
• Some journals have names very similar to legitimate publications.
• Publisher calculated its own impact scores without disclosing that fact.
• Publisher includes names of prominent researchers as participants at the
conferences when many did not agree to participate.

12. Identifying Predatory Journals
• Quality Indicators
• Open Access Journal Quality Indicators - Grand Valley State University
• Think. Check. Submit. - COPE, DOAJ, SPARC, BioMed Central, and other orgs.
• Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers (archived Jan. 2017)
• Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access journals -
Scholarly Open Access (1,312 journals)
• Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access publishers -
Scholarly Open Access (1,162 publishers)
13. Green Open Access
Author adds a version of their article to a repository to allow for free access. Also
called self-archiving.
14. Institutional Repositories
• An online archive for collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital
copies of the intellectual output of a university or research
institution.
• Types of items that may appear in an institutional repository:
• Copies of published scholarly articles
• Research data
• Student scholarship (theses, dissertations, etc.)
• Archival materials
• Controversial repositories
• ResearchGate.net, Academia.edu, Sci-Hub
15. SHERPA/RoMEO
• A searchable database of publisher’s policies regarding the self-
archiving of journal articles on the web and in Open Access
repositories.
• http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/index.php
16. SPARC Author Addendum
• A legal instrument created by the Scholarly Publishing and Academic
Resources Coalition (SPARC) that you can use to modify your
copyright transfer agreements with non-Open Access journal
publishers. It allows you to select which individual rights out of the
bundle of copyrights you want to keep, such as:
• Distributing copies in the course of teaching and research,
• Posting the article on a personal or institutional website, or
• Creating derivative works.
