Keynote presentation at the 3º Simpósio Brasileiro de Comunicação Científica: Perspectivas em Acesso Aberto, http://www.sbcc.ufsc.br 05 e 06 de junho de 2012, Florianópolis (SC) – Brasil.
2012 marks the tenth anniversary of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, a declaration that provided a formal definition of Open Access (OA) and a set of strategies for archiving OA. This talk begins with a review of the major milestones of achievement over the last decade, both globally and with specific attention to Brazil and Latin America, followed by identification of key areas of research communication that remained to be improved. These areas include infrastructural development for e-research, more diverse and transparent metrics for evaluating scholarship, funding and institutional policy alignment, and new forms of scholarly practices and representation. Examples from these areas will be highlighted, with emphasis on areas of collaboration between information scientists and scholars from various fields.

Poster: Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Human Rights Web Archive @ Columbia University (plus some information about web archiving collaborations)
http://hrwa.cul.columbia.edu/
Web archiving encompasses several challenges that we face in the midst of the radical changes that are the focus of the ACRL-NY 2013 Symposium. Like many other interdisciplinary, wide-ranging and highly networked fields, human rights scholarship relies extensively on web-based information, but much of this content is at risk of disappearing within a relatively short time.
To meet the needs of the scholarly community, the Human Rights Web Archive @ Columbia University (HRWA) was created. The HRWA is a searchable collection of archived copies of human rights websites created by non-governmental organizations, national human rights institutions, tribunals and individuals.
In this poster we will detail our early progress in the assessment of the effectiveness of the HRWA through user testing and a review of scholarly publishing in journals focusing on human rights research. We will also discuss how keeping users actively engaged is at the core of our evolving collecting policy for web archives. In sharing our experiences with a collection development policy centered in an active and agile feedback loop, we hope to shed light on strengths and opportunities for growth including via collaborative initiatives.

Strengthening the Sustainable Development Goals with Open Access and Open S...Leslie Chan
The SDGs represent challenges in advancing the broad access to information agenda because of the divergent goals and proliferating targets and indicators. At the same time, the broadness of many of the goals presents opportunities for the agenda, particularly in the form of open access and open science, to embed itself at the core, thus allowing concrete actions and policies to be formulated in order to achieve tangible development outcomes. I will focus in particular on Goal 9 (“Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”) and argue that information and knowledge are essential infrastructure needed to build local research capacity which are in turn the foundation for sustainable development. The growing understanding of the importance of sharing methods and results throughout the research life cycle further demands the need for appropriate infrastructure. Examples of such infrastructure, such as data and publication repositories, already exist at some local level, but they are often fragmented and lack adequate resources. It is therefore important for FAO/IFLA/COAR to continue to advocate for the development of knowledge infrastructure and to ensure that policies are in place to support their long term sustainability.
The Future of Open Science and How to Stop itLeslie Chan
Presentation at the Open Science panel at the launch of Steps Latina America. The talk attempts to situate the rational and objectives of the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network within the broader landscape of discourse on "openness". While recognizing the potential benefits of openness, it is important to keep in mind the existing structural inequality in global scientific knowledge production and circulation and reflect on the needs to challenge this power asymmetry as a starting point for further understanding on how open science may contribute to development challenges.
How DOAJ Ambassadors and CC local communities can promote knowledge and usage...Tom Olijhoek
Scientific knowledge from the Global South is very much underrepresented in the collective scientific output worldwide. This is not different for OA publishing. Therefore DOAJ started an Ambassador programme with the main objectives to clarify the OA publishing landscape and to increase the number of quality OA journals in order to reduce the number of questionable journals in the Global South. Better understanding among the publishers about the differences and potential conflicts between copyright and licensing is vital. By building local CC communities in cooperation with the CC organization, the DOAJ programme could further improve the quality of scholarly publishing in the Global South. Increased usage of Creative Commons licensing will act against the Northern dominance in knowledge sharing.

Presentation by the ROER4D Curation and Dissemination Manager, Michelle Willmers, on Science Communication to the “Middleware for Collaborative Applications and Global Virtual Communities” (Magic) project.
Open Research comprises open access to the broad range of research outputs, from journal articles and the underlying data to protocols, results (including negative results), software and tools. Open Research increases inclusivity and collaboration, improves transparency and reproducibility of research and underpins research integrity.
This workshop focuses on the benefits of practicing open research for you as a researcher, to improve discoverability and maximise access to your work and to raise your professional profile.
By the end of the session you will:
• Have an understanding of the principles of Open Research
• Understand open licences and how they apply to publications, data and software
• Be able to apply key tools and techniques to increase the visibility of yourself and your research, including repositories, ORCID, social media and altmetrics
• Describe the different ways of making research and data available open access

Why Research Libraries supporting Open Access is vital to the achievement of ...ldore1
The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) supports the Lyon Declaration on Access to Information and Development, 2014 (which was a response/commitment to promote meaningful access to information as part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals), which states that a right to information worldwide would be transformational. Access to information supports development by empowering people, especially marginalised people and those living in poverty.
In this talk there will be a discussion of the vital importance of the availability of Open Access research publications to improve access to information and knowledge to enable the fulfilment of the SDGs to end poverty, improve health and education, reduce inequality, encourage economic growth, and tackle environmental destruction and climate change.
There will also be discussion of the role Libraries have to play in supporting Open Access at a national and local level, the options for publishing Open Access and the challenges.
Finally, the tools available to measure what proportion of your institutions papers are available as Open Access and what proportion are covering SDG topics will be demonstrated. These Tools will include Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Altmetrics Explorer.

ELPUB 2018 Feminist Open Science workshopLeslie Chan
This was the slides for the workshop on Feminist Open Science presented at ELPUB2018 in Toronto. Notes for the session is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zr51nZ4VRjVNLixeRc_4SPa-liSALADLTbJ1RUJYcpo/edit
"This workshop will centre on how current discourse around Open Science has tended to focus on the creation of new technological platforms and tools to facilitate sharing and reuse of a wide range of research outputs, but has largely avoided tackling many important issues related to inclusion of a diversity of perspectives in science. We believe a feminist perspective can help to surface these issues, particularly with regard to the need for inclusive infrastructure, which are especially important as Open Science increasingly becomes part of government agendas and policies. We expect that researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in Open Science will benefit from this workshop to think about issues of inclusivity in Open Science that are not receiving sufficient attention. We expect participants who attend this workshop will gain awareness about relevant resources and work that has been done by feminist technoscience scholars to expand the perspectives of Open Science. We hope that participants will take away new possibilities for their work that they may not have considered before. For policy makers, this workshop will be particularly relevant to help think about how evidence for Open Science should be assessed from a more feminist inclusive standpoint. The workshop will also present results from a two-day workshop on Feminist Open Science that will take place prior to the ELPUB workshop, with the intent of soliciting feedback and collaboration."
Open Access in the Global South: Perspectives from the OCSDNetLeslie Chan
Webinar for COAR (Confederation of Open Access Repositories) May 3, 2018.
The webinar will focus on the lessons learn from the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network with regard to "openness" and how an expanded view of openness would allow us to rethink the design of a sustainable, open and community based common scholarship infrastructure.
Beyond Licensing - OCSDNet and Openness Leslie Chan
Openness has been too narrowly defined in the past and findings from OCSDNet suggest that we need to see openness as a process that is highly dynamic and situational, not a set of fixed conditions to be met.

This talk is a personal perspective on Open Access and what I see as the key impetus for engaging in open access practices. I highlight some recent innovations, both in terms of tools and modes of collaborative research enabled by OA. I also highlight recent developments in financial models in support of OA journal and monograph publishing.
The Impact of World University Rankings on Research and Curriculum Developmen...Leslie Chan
The talk identifies the impact of “world university rankings” on research and curriculum development, particularly for universities in the global South. It is argued that relevance of local research and community engagement are better indicators of ‘excellence’ in the university and we need to rethink assumptions behind "objective" indicators that are underlying most of the major world rankings. These rankings have the effect of rendering research from the developing world invisible and dictating curriculum development oriented towards market needs of the global North. Such rankings thus represent a form of social and cognitive exclusion and institution of higher education should strongly resist this agenda, and formulate other forms of "excellence" based on social inclusion and community engagement.

What is Open Science and what role does it play in Development?
The talk begins with a review of current understanding of open science and its alleged role in providing new opportunities for addressing long-standing development challenges. I then introduce the newly launched Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network, funded by IDRC Canada, and in collaboration with iHub Nairobi, Kenya. The rationale, funding modalities, and the short and long term objectives of the network will be discussed.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

• What is Open Access and its key benefits
• Growth of OA in the last ten years
• Key trends and developments
– Global and Local trends (Brazil)
– New and Exciting Developments
• Areas that are still deficient
• Looking to the Future and Suggestions for
Collaborations
4. Key Messages
• Open Access as a philosophical principle and a set of
practical tools
• “Journal” no longer serves the needs of networked
scholarship
• From “Wealth of Nations” to “Wealth of Networks”
• Need to rethink measurements of “impact” and
values, especially for research relevant to development
• Innovations are happening in the “peripheries” but there
are gatekeepers and social barriers
• Aligning funding and reward policies with new scholarly
practices and inclusive metrics
5. “By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free
availability on the public internet, permitting any users to
read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to
the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass
them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful
purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other
than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet
itself. The only constraint on reproduction and
distribution, and the only role for copyright in this
domain, should be to give authors control over the
integrity of their work and the right to be properly
acknowledged and cited.”

2012 marks the tenth anniversary of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, a declaration that provided a formal definition of Open Access (OA) and a set of strategies for archiving OA. This talk begins with a review of the major milestones of achievement over the last decade, both globally and with specific attention to Brazil and Latin America, followed by identification of key areas of research communication that remained to be improved. These areas include infrastructural development for e-research, more diverse and transparent metrics for evaluating scholarship, funding and institutional policy alignment, and new forms of scholarly practices and representation. Examples from these areas will be highlighted, with emphasis on areas of collaboration between information scientists and scholars from various fields.
Green OA is OA delivered by repositories, regardless of peer-review status, gratis/libre status, funding model, embargo period, and so on. Gold OA is OA delivered by journals, regardless of peer-review methods, gratis/libre status, business model, and so on. It should be clear that the green/gold distinction is not the same as the gratis/libre distinction. Green/gold is about venues or vehicles, while gratis/libre is about user rights. For better or worse, there are four cases to keep distinct: gratis green, gratis gold, libre green, and libre gold.

he New Invisible College, Caroline Wagner combines quantitative data and extensive interviews to map the emergence of global science networks and trace the dynamics driving their growth. She argues that the shift from big science to global networks creates unprecedented opportunities for developing countries to tap science's potential. Rather than squander resources in vain efforts to mimic the scientific establishments of the twentieth century, developing country governments can leverage networks by creating incentives for top-notch scientists to focus on research that addresses their concerns and by finding ways to tie knowledge to local problem solving.
