Open access for the inaugural @OpenResLDN meeting 2015 01 19Chris Banks
Slides that I will speak to at the inaugural meeting of OpenResLDN on 19th January 2015. January 2015 sees the 350th anniversary of the first ever journal publication - the Journal des Savants. We are now in the 21st year of the Open Access movement and the UK and European policies are really beginning to drive change and innovation. That change is not fast enough for some, and for others - particularly those covered by the policies, or seeking to implement policy - just a little too fast sometimes.

Future of Publishing - a session on innovations in academic journal publishin...PublishingSGM
With so many changes affecting scholarly publishing, how can new and experienced authors ensure their research is captured by quality journals in a highly discoverable and accessible way? The publishing team at SGM organised the Future of Publishing session at SGM’s 2014 conference in order to explore these questions.
To share some of the knowledge that was imparted and the debates that arose from the session, we have outlined the structure of the event below and have created a Storify board, including the Twitter activity which can be found here: storify.com/PublishingSGM/future-of-publishing-2014
The current Chair of SGM’s Publishing Committee, Colin Harwood, chaired the session and opened by introducing the panel. Aharon Oheren kicked off the presentations with an introduction to current practices in journal publishing. He described the role of the editor and what happens to your paper after it is submitted, suggested what authors should consider before submitting their paper and discussed different models of peer review, both old and new. He also advised authors on how to handle rejection and the best way to deal with negative reviews.
Paul Hoskisson then explored some of the new methods for communicating research, including social media, as well as new journal models including open access and mega journals. He also considered how altmetrics could be used to measure the impact of science over current methods. He finished by encouraging the audience to take opportunities to influence change in academic publishing.
Leighton Chipperfield then rounded off the presentations by providing a brief summary of innovation in publishing at SGM, including the recent addition of ORCID IDs (have you got yours?). He also explored how semantics are making material more dicoverable and how, as publishers, we’re moving away from traditional publishing models to truly managing knowledge.
The discussion was followed by a Q&A with the whole panel.

The future of scholarly communications professionalsNancy Pontika
The scholarly communications profession is constantly changing, and a wide range of skills are required in the advertised job descriptions. In an effort to investigate what kind of skills future information professionals need, during the period March 2015 to September 2017 job postings advertising positions relating to Open Access were collected. The total number of the collected job postings was 72.
The collection was done manually throughout this whole period from job advertising sites, such as Jobs.ac.uk, CILIP Lisjobnet and the Times of Higher Education. In addition, the author is subscribing to open listserves, such as the Jisc-Repositories, OAGoodPractice and a closed one, the UKCoRR-Discussion list, and managed to collect job descriptions from those list servers as well.
The aim of this work is to identify the most important skills required in the jobs advertised in our field, educate the new comers in the field and identify how our profession is evolving.

Open Science, Why not?
Presented at the Agreenskills meeting
Paris, 15 February 2017
Abstract: Imagine YOUR research some time in the future! Abandon all preconceptions, and imagine an idealised way of how research might be done in the future. What does it look like? Is the knowledge you’ll create in the future constrained to your pencil scribbled notebook, to your lab, and to the pages of an elite journal? Or does it flow seamlessly across disciplines and collaborative teams. Is the knowledge you generate in the future categorised, labelled and published according to rigid disciplinary taxonomy, or is it being applied by people you never met and may never meet. Is the fruit of your labour so discoverable, accessible and re-usable that it advances knowledge, fixes real world problems in research directions that you never thought of possible anticipated? And imagine all that happens even while you are sleeping, but attributing full credit to you? That future may become the default setting sooner than you might guess.
The presentation will briefly introduce Open Science in the context of an open, transparent, re-usable and reproducible research lifecycle, and present strategic and career arguments, such as why research of relevance to societal challenges can not afford not to adopt Open Science as the default setting.

2. What is publishing?
• Process of making information available to the general
public. “Publish or perish”
• Traditionally, this is achieved by engaging with a
publisher – resulting in the publication of a journal
article, book chapter or book.
• Using a publisher is still the most common way of
disseminating the results of research.
• Universities also offer means of making research
available – (e.g. Open Access Repositories)
• There are means of ‘self-publishing’.
3. Publishing process
• A manuscript is submitted to the publisher (pre-print)
• Reviewed internally by editorial staff
• Peer reviewed - normally externally, by one or more expert
academics (post-print)
• Academic publishers conduct external, independent peer-
review, which lends authority and prestige
• Production – of the final PDF/Print Copy (publisher’s final version)
• Publication of the paper
4. Using a publisher – considerations
• Which publication would you be publishing in? Is it well respected?
• What publications do staff and students read? What do(n’t) they
like about them? Opinions can be based on personal taste.
• Does the journal have an Impact Factor or other indicator of
prestige?
• What are the acceptance rates? Are you being realistic about where
you are pitching your article?
• What is the nature of the agreement you have to sign with them?
Will you be able to retain any rights?
• Is it a commercial publisher or a society publisher? Or both?
• Do you need to obtain permissions for 3rd party copyright? Your
publisher should guide you on this.
5. How does publishing work?
• A manuscript is submitted to the publisher
• Reviewed internally
• Peer reviewed - normally externally
• Production – of the final PDF/Print Copy
• Publication of the paper

14. It is not as difficult as you may think…
• Publish in open access journals
• Deposit (self-archive) into a repository
(institutional or disciplinary/subject)
• Deposit your data in a data repository
• Identify yourself and your work
• Use social media to create a research societal
impact
