The Royal Society of Chemistry supports open access models and is working to promote sustainable options. It launched an initiative called "Gold for Gold" that provides voucher codes for authors from subscribing institutions to publish open access for free in RSC gold journals. Over 600 institutions have qualified for codes, which have been used for over 700 articles so far. RSC also recognizes the role of green open access and has launched a new open access repository for chemistry papers to improve discoverability. Overall, RSC supports both gold and green models and sees gold as the most sustainable while continuing to develop its offerings.
Steve Carlton - 'Removing barriers: Open Access and "non-traditional" students'sherif user group
This document discusses open access and how it helps non-traditional students. It defines open access as peer-reviewed research that is free to read and reuse online with few restrictions. There are two main routes to open access: gold, where articles are immediately free online, and green, where accepted manuscripts are free after an embargo. While open access is growing, change has been slow. Universities support open access through funding, repositories, advice, and advocacy. Open access removes barriers for non-traditional students by making research easily searchable and accessible regardless of affiliation. However, skills for using scholarly content and accessible summaries still need work.
This slide is prepare to share information on about OPEN Access, DOAJ and its work. this presentation done in National Workshop at AISSMS COE Pune "Doors are open :Know about Open Access"
This document defines and discusses open access publishing. It explains that open access literature is digital, online, free to access, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. There are two primary models for open access - open access archives/repositories which make unpublished or published works freely available, and open access journals which peer review works and make them freely available. The document discusses factors like author processing fees and subsidies that support open access journals' business models. It also defines terms like green open access (self-archiving) versus gold open access (publication in an open access journal) and addresses issues like predatory journals.
This document provides an overview of open access journal publishing and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). It discusses what open access is, the mission and governance of DOAJ, and why it is important for journals to be indexed in DOAJ. The document also outlines the requirements and best practices for journals to be included in DOAJ, such as having a peer review process, publishing original research, and using Creative Commons licenses. Medknow journals are discussed as an example, noting they meet many but not all of DOAJ's criteria.

Open Access Overview, Libraries All-Staff Meeting, 10/22/08Elizabeth Brown
Open Access Publishing: What you need to know
The document discusses open access publishing models where content creators pay for their work to be made freely available online rather than using traditional subscription models. It outlines that open access allows anyone worldwide to access, read, download and use digital scholarly articles. Funding can come from author fees, grants, foundations, institutional memberships or advertising. For libraries, open access means fewer subscriptions but more hybrid journals with both open access and subscribed content, as well as varying embargo periods for access to journal articles.
The document discusses open access and creative commons licensing for academic publications. It describes the traditional journal publication model where publishers take over copyright and charge libraries access fees. Open access aims to provide free online access to scholarly articles, with some allowing limited uses under creative commons licenses. While open access has grown, challenges remain around sustainable funding models to cover the administrative and production costs of open access journals.

Desde a implementação generalizada de periódicos on-line e a introdução do acesso aberto há mais de uma década, o ritmo da inovação na publicação de periódicos acadêmicos tem sido lento. Mais recentemente, no entanto, uma série de inovações apareceu na publicação de periódicos, que têm o potencial de causar mudanças de longo alcance no modo como comunicamos informação científica. Entre essas tendências está o surgimento dos Megajournals e, em particular do PLoS ONE, que nos últimos anos veio a dominar periódicos em acesso aberto. Estes periódico, embora revisados por pares nos aspectos de solidez e metodológica científica, aceitam uma ampla variedade de artigos, sobre os quais perguntas como “Qual a importância do trabalho” ou “é relevante para o público” não são critérios para a rejeição, como em muitos outros periódicos. Muitas vezes ligado a Megajournals estão casos de periódicos em cascata, onde o publisher tem um periódico com uma marca forte e muitas submissões.
Since the widespread implementation of online journals and the introduction of open access more than a decade ago, the pace of innovation in academic journal publishing has been slow. More recently however a number of innovations have appeared in journal publishing, which have the potential to cause far reaching changes in how we communicate scientific information. Among these trends is the raise of Megajournals and in particular PLoS ONE which have within the last few years come to dominate open access journals. These journals although peer reviewed for scientific and methodological soundness accept a wider variety of articles as questions such as “How important is the work” or “is it relevant to the audience” are not criteria for rejection as in many other journals. Often linked to Megajournals are cases of cascading journals where a publisher has a journal with a strong brand and many submissions.

A menudo vinculadas a Megarevistas están los casos de las revistas en cascada donde una editorial tiene una revista con una marca sólida y muchas presentaciones.
The document discusses a university library project to use iPads to supplement in-person library support for students. The library initially experimented with "hands-free roving" and using smartphones to provide mobile library services. This led the library project group to procure iPads to enhance their roving services. Library staff received training on the iPads and provided positive initial feedback, though they wanted a custom app created. The iPads allowed the library to provide mobile library services both within the library and elsewhere on campus.

Participant driven events: CLIC community experiencesCLICLibraries
TeachMeets and Library Camps (or ‘unconferences’) have both been gaining in popularity over the last few years, as events that are slightly outside of normal conferences or staff development events. A shared factor is that they are predominantly participant driven events.
TeachMeets involve short repeated sessions where participants share a teaching/presentation tip with members of the community.
Library Camps bring together a community of library staff for a day. These events take place outside of work time and are free of charge. The ‘community’ of staff who gather determine the course of the day and are all full participants. How does this ‘community’ differ from main stream library conferences, and what are the factors that draw people to participate in their own time?
In the last year CLIC, in conjunction with library staff in Wales, has hosted a TeachMeet and run a Library Camp; this session will talk about these kind of events and what benefits they provide to the community of library staff attending, as opposed to more traditional forms of training events.

The recruitment of new personnel is one of the most essential business processes which affect the quality of
human capital within any company. It is highly essential for the companies to ensure the recruitment of
right talent to maintain a competitive edge over the others in the market. However IT companies often face
a problem while recruiting new people for their ongoing projects due to lack of a proper framework that
defines a criteria for the selection process. In this paper we aim to develop a framework that would allow
any project manager to take the right decision for selecting new talent by correlating performance
parameters with the other domain-specific attributes of the candidates. Also, another important motivation
behind this project is to check the validity of the selection procedure often followed by various big
companies in both public and private sectors which focus only on academic scores, GPA/grades of students
from colleges and other academic backgrounds. We test if such a decision will produce optimal results in
the industry or is there a need for change that offers a more holistic approach to recruitment of new talent
in the software companies. The scope of this work extends beyond the IT domain and a similar procedure
can be adopted to develop a recruitment framework in other fields as well. Data-mining techniques provide
useful information from the historical projects depending on which the hiring-manager can make decisions
for recruiting high-quality workforce. This study aims to bridge this hiatus by developing a data-mining
framework based on an ensemble-learning technique to refocus on the criteria for personnel selection. The
results from this research clearly demonstrated that there is a need to refocus on the selection-criteria for
quality objectives.
Social bookmarking system is a web-based resource sharing system that allows users to upload, share and
organize their resources i.e. bookmarks and publications. The system has shifted the paradigm of
bookmarking from an individual activity limited to desktop to a collective activity on the web. It also
facilitates user to annotate his resource with free form tags that leads to large communities of users to
collaboratively create accessible repositories of web resources. Tagging process has its own challenges
like ambiguity, redundancy or misspelled tags and sometimes user tends to avoid it as he has to describe
tag at his own. The resultant tag space is noisy or very sparse and dilutes the purpose of tagging. The
effective solution is Tag Recommendation System that automatically suggests appropriate set of tags to
user while annotating resource. In this paper, we propose a framework that does not depend on tagging
history of the resource or user and thereby capable of suggesting tags to the resources which are being
submitted to the system first time. We model tag recommendation task as multi-label text classification
problem and use Naive Bayes classifier as the base learner of the multilabel classifier. We experiment with
Boolean, bag-of-words and term frequency-inverse document frequency (TFIDF) representation of the
resources and fit appropriate distribution to the data based on the representation used. Impact of feature
selection on the effectiveness of the tag recommendation is also studied. Effectiveness of the proposed
framework is evaluated through precision, recall and f-measure metrics.
PATTERN GENERATION FOR COMPLEX DATA USING HYBRID MININGIJDKP
This document discusses a hybrid data mining approach called combined mining that can generate informative patterns from complex data sources. It proposes applying three techniques: 1) Using the Lossy-counting algorithm on individual data sources to obtain frequent itemsets, 2) Generating incremental pair and cluster patterns using a multi-feature approach, 3) Combining FP-growth and Bayesian Belief Network using a multi-method approach to generate classifiers. The approach is tested on two datasets to obtain more useful knowledge and the results are compared.
IDENTIFICATION OF OUTLIERS IN OXAZOLINES AND OXAZOLES HIGH DIMENSION MOLECULA...IJDKP
This document summarizes an algorithm called Principal Component Outlier Detection (PrCmpOut) for identifying outliers in high-dimensional molecular descriptor datasets. PrCmpOut uses principal component analysis to transform the data into a lower-dimensional space, where it can more efficiently detect outliers using robust estimators of location and covariance. The properties of PrCmpOut are analyzed and compared to other robust outlier detection methods through simulation studies using a dataset of oxazoline and oxazole molecular descriptors. Numerical results show PrCmpOut performs well at outlier detection in high-dimensional data.
USING GOOGLE’S KEYWORD RELATION IN MULTIDOMAIN DOCUMENT CLASSIFICATIONIJDKP
The document describes a new method for multi-domain document classification using keyword sequences extracted from documents. It introduces the Word AdHoc Network (WANET) system which uses Google's Keyword Relation and a new similarity measurement called Google Purity to classify documents into domains based on their extracted 4-word keyword sequences, without requiring pre-established keyword repositories. Experimental results showed the classification was accurate and efficient, allowing cross-domain classification and management of knowledge from different sources.
Data performance characterization of frequent pattern mining algorithmsIJDKP
Big data quickly comes under the spotlight in recent years. As big data is supposed to handle extremely
huge amount of data, it is quite natural that the demand for the computational environment to accelerates,
and scales out big data applications increases. The important thing is, however, the behavior of big data
applications is not clearly defined yet. Among big data applications, this paper specifically focuses on stream mining applications. The behavior of stream mining applications varies according to the characteristics of the input data. The parameters for data characterization are, however, not clearly defined yet, and there is no study investigating explicit relationships between the input data, and streammining applications, either. Therefore, this paper picks up frequent pattern mining as one of the
representative stream mining applications, and interprets the relationships between the characteristics of the input data, and behaviors of signature algorithms for frequent pattern mining.
On a business level, everyone wants to get hold of the business value and other organizational advantages that big data has to offer. Analytics has arisen as the primitive path to business value from big data. Hadoop is not just a storage platform for big data; it’s also a computational and processing platform for business analytics. Hadoop is, however, unsuccessful in fulfilling business requirements when it comes to live data streaming. The initial architecture of Apache Hadoop did not solve the problem of live stream data mining. In summary, the traditional approach of big data being co-relational to Hadoop is false; focus needs to be given on business value as well. Data Warehousing, Hadoop and stream processing complement each other very well. In this paper, we have tried reviewing a few frameworks and products
which use real time data streaming by providing modifications to Hadoop.
Column store databases approaches and optimization techniquesIJDKP
Column-Stores database stores data column-by-column. The need for Column-Stores database arose for
the efficient query processing in read-intensive relational databases. Also, for read-intensive relational
databases,extensive research has performed for efficient data storage and query processing. This paper
gives an overview of storage and performance optimization techniques used in Column-Stores.
This paper describes the Collective Experience Engine (CEE), a system for indexing Experiential-
Knowledge about Web knowledge-sources (websites), and performing relative-experience calculations
between participants of the CEE. The CEE provides an in-browser interface to query the collective
experience of others participating in the CEE. This interface accepts a list of URLs, to which the CEE adds
additional information based on the Queryee's previously indexed Experiential-Knowledge. The core of the
CEE is its Experiential-Context Conversation (ECConversation) functionality, whereby an collection of a
person’s Web Experiential-Knowledge can be utilized to allow a real-world conversation-like exchange of
information to take place, including adjusting information-flow based on the Queryee's experiential
background and knowledge, and providing additional experientially-related knowledge integrated into the
answer from multiple selected 'experience donors'. A relative-experience calculation ensures that
information is retrieved only from relative-experts, to ensure sufficient additional information exists, but
that such information isn't too advanced for the Queryee to process. This paper gives an overview of the
CEE, and the underlying algorithms and data structures, and describes a system architecture and
implementation details.
A simplified approach for quality management in data warehouseIJDKP
Data warehousing is continuously gaining importance as organizations are realizing the benefits of
decision oriented data bases. However, the stumbling block to this rapid development is data quality issues
at various stages of data warehousing. Quality can be defined as a measure of excellence or a state free
from defects. Users appreciate quality products and available literature suggests that many organization`s
have significant data quality problems that have substantial social and economic impacts. A metadata
based quality system is introduced to manage quality of data in data warehouse. The approach is used to
analyze the quality of data warehouse system by checking the expected value of quality parameters with
that of actual values. The proposed approach is supported with a metadata framework that can store
additional information to analyze the quality parameters, whenever required.
Data stratification is the process of partitioning the data into distinct and non-overlapping groups since the
study population consists of subpopulations that are of particular interest. In clinical data, once the data is
stratified into sub populations based on a significant stratifying factor, different risk factors can be
determined from each subpopulation. In this paper, the Fisher’s Exact Test is used to determine the
significant stratifying factors. The experiments are conducted on a simulated study and the Medical,
Epidemiological and Social Aspects of Aging (MESA) data constructed for prediction of urinary
incontinence. Results show that, smoking is the most significant stratifying factor of MESA data, showing
that the smokers and non-smokers indicates different risk factors towards urinary incontinence and should
be treated differently.
This document discusses open access literature and its importance. Open access literature refers to digital content that is available online for free without restrictions. It is important because subscription costs for scholarly journals continue rising each year, limiting access. While research is funded by taxpayers and students, they must then pay high costs to access published results. Open access addresses this by removing barriers to access. It benefits students, researchers and libraries by providing free scholarly content. The document outlines how librarians and faculty can promote open access through publishing in and advocating for open access journals and repositories.
As part of Open Access Week 2016 John Murtagh, Research Publications Manager at LSHTM gives a briefing on OA and how researchers can make their work Open Access without having to pay for it via the Gold Open Access route.
Over 90% of journals allow a final draft version of the paper to be self-archived in a research repository - making that research OA. John outlines what OA is, the different types and methods currently available in publishing and how researchers can achieve. Also covered is how to keep your self-archiving author rights using an author addendum and how to use Research Online effectively for wider dissemination. Also covered is making book chapters OA, the REF OA requirements and using the SHERPA RoMEO/FACT service to searching journal self-archiving policies.
The document discusses open access (OA) in scholarly publishing. It notes the current publishing crisis where publishers get free content from publicly funded research while restricting access. OA aims to make research freely and permanently available online. There are two main routes to OA - green OA using institutional repositories, and gold OA through OA journals. ECU supports green OA through its Research Online repository. New requirements from the NHMRC will mandate depositing publications in OA repositories within 12 months. The document provides an overview of key issues around OA including copyright and benefits for authors, libraries and scholars.
Researcher KnowHow: Introduction to Open AccessLivUniLibrary
This document provides an introduction to open access publishing. It describes the traditional subscription model where authors sign over copyright and readers must pay to access articles. Open access aims to make research freely available online for anyone to read and reuse. There are two main routes: gold open access where authors pay article processing charges to publish in fully open access journals, and green open access where authors self-archive in repositories after an embargo period. Funders now require open access for funded research, and the REF also requires depositing publications in repositories.
Stephen Carlton delivered a session on open access publishing. It includes an explanation for the motives of the open access movement, describes how open access typically works and points to local support available to University of Liverpool staff and students.
Fifty shades of green and gold: open access to scholarly informationhierohiero
Presentation for Urban Research Utrecht, a research school at Utrecht University, on Open Access to scholarly information in geography and planning, focussing of advantages, disadvantges, various forms, costs and actions of stakeholders
Open Access Overview, Faculty Senate Library Committee, 10/21/08Elizabeth Brown
Open Access publishing refers to making scholarly journal articles freely available online for anyone to read and use. It emerged as the internet made sharing content cheaper and easier than print. Traditionally, subscriptions funded journals but prices rose sharply in the 1990s limiting access. Now, some journals charge authors fees to make articles open while others use a hybrid model combining open access and subscription content, sometimes with embargo periods for new articles. This shift affects libraries who may see fewer subscriptions and more journals combining models, though embargo lengths will vary between journals and author choice.
Scholarly Communications: From Understanding to Engagement: Open Access Publi...myspacelibrarian
This document summarizes an open access publishing presentation given by Beth Evans on June 3, 2013. It discusses various open access models like gold OA journals that make work freely available (PLoS ONE, PeerJ) and green OA repositories (IR), as well as digital library initiatives like DPLA. It emphasizes that open access content can be used freely for teaching and research purposes. Open access allows for global sharing of knowledge without financial barriers.
The document summarizes the changing landscape of scholarly communication. It discusses traditional publishing models and the rising popularity of alternative models like open access journals and institutional repositories. Key points covered include rising journal costs, licensing restrictions, author rights, and how new models are increasing access and impact for researchers.
This document provides an overview of open access, including definitions, models (green vs gold), policies and mandates, and the situation at the University of Queensland. It defines open access as digital scholarly work that is free of copyright restrictions. The two main models of open access are green, which involves self-archiving work in an institutional repository, and gold, which are open access journals. Major funders like the ARC and NHMRC now mandate open access policies. UQ is piloting an open access program to help comply with mandates and encourage self-archiving in its institutional repository, eSpace.
This document provides information about open access initiatives and publications. It defines open access as providing free online access to scholarly research without restrictions. There are different routes to open access publishing, such as open access journals (gold route) and self-archiving published articles in repositories (green route). Open access has several advantages including increased visibility, universal access, and supporting the free flow of information. However, there is a risk of "predatory publishers" that do not uphold peer review standards. Major open access initiatives aim to support open policies and definitions worldwide.
Selecting open access Knowledge Base collections for Discovery Jeff Siemon
Open Access KB (Knowledge Base) collections can add diversity and breadth to your library’s Discovery experience of e-journals and eBooks. What kinds of OA (open access) collections are available in the OCLC KB? What levels of quality are represented? Which OA collections should my library select? How do you search for and select OA collections? How can you elevate, in Discovery results lists, results from purchased collections before results from OA collections, if you want to? This will be a presentation, with flexibility for questions and sharing experiences.
Open access publications are freely and permanently available online to anyone with an internet connection. Unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium is permitted, provided the author/editor is properly attributed.

Nicole Nogoy at the G3 Workshop: Open Access Publishing - What you need to KnowGigaScience, BGI Hong Kong
This document discusses open access publishing and some of the key challenges. It notes that while open access publishing removes barriers to accessing and sharing scientific research, major publishers currently control the market and charge high subscription fees. This puts strain on library budgets. The document outlines initiatives to increase open access, such as university and funder mandates, and notes that open access journals can have high impact. However, challenges remain around copyright and the ability to fully text mine and reuse content. More advocacy and support for open access is needed to address these issues.
Open access provides free online access to scholarly research. It benefits authors through increased visibility and impact, readers by removing access barriers, and universities by showcasing their research. Open access is achieved through open access repositories which make publications freely available or open access journals which do not charge subscription fees. While initially concerned about losses, publishers have increasingly accepted open access through allowing repository deposits and offering open access publication options.
