Abstract:
Google something, anything. What are the top ten results? Whether a scientific concept, political theory or research methodology, Wikipedia will almost certainly be near the top, if not the very first result.
As a large-scale collaborative platform funded through charitable donations, with a mission to provide universal free access to knowledge as a public good, Wikipedia is one of the most popular websites in the world and a primary source of information on the web, especially for people outside academia.
This presentation will explore the role of Wikipedia in the information ecosystem, where it occupies a unique role as a bridge between informal discussion and scholarly publication. We explore how it relates to the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, through structured data on Wikidata for instance, and openly licensed media on Wikimedia Commons. We consider the potential for universities to engage strategically with Wikimedia and the benefits of doing so, in the areas of information literacy and research impact, sharing openly licensed text and images to improve Wikipedia, for example, and linking Wikipedia citations to open access repositories.
We will discuss our Wikimedia Champions project at the University of Leeds, which has recruited PGRs to examine Wikipedia in their subject area, identifying areas of need and making contributions. The project has been an opportunity to explore ways of sharing University research with a wider audience in an open and accessible way and thereby contribute to the global commons.

Paper held at the Roundtable:
Gender, the Popular Press and the Digital Humanities: The Development of a Database of Republican Chinese Women’s Magazines and Entertainment Newspapers
Organizer: Liying Sun (University of Heidelberg)
Chair: Joan Judge (York University)
Discussants:
Matthias Arnold (University of Heidelberg);
Joan Judge (York University);
Ling-ling Lien (Academia Sinica, Taiwan);
Liying Sun (University of Heidelberg);
Doris Sung (York University).
This roundtable is part of a multi-year, interdisciplinary, international project on gender and the popular press in Republican China. The project combines new methodological approaches to the periodical press with the creation of a sophisticated database. This database, ECPO (Early Chinese Periodicals Online), facilitates research on these rich, complex, and voluminous materials by making several databases of women’s magazines and entertainment newspapers held in the libraries of Heidelberg University and Academia Sinica in Taipei accessible within one structure, and by seeking to create comprehensive linked metadata on these various materials.
Matthias Arnold introduces the conceptualization, structure, supporting system and functionality of these databases, while other project researchers discuss specific ways the databases have enhanced their research on the periodical press. Joan Judge argues that a close examination of multi-registered and multi-vocal general interest and women’s journals facilitated by a well-constructed database, makes it possible to reassesses early Republican publications and the early Republican era itself. The commitment to democratizing and popularizing knowledge in these materials represents an important and heretofore little understood chapter in the interrelated histories of knowledge, politics, and social change in China’s twentieth century history. Doris Sung examines the strategies for representing women’s art in two women’s magazines featured in the database, Funü shibao and Funü zazhi, and argues that these journals provided a public space for foregrounding women artists’ achievements. Utilizing the database’s capability to cross-reference images, texts and biographical information, she reconstructs the discourse of “women’s art” in the Republican period. Ling-ling Lien focuses on the value and research possibilities of the entertainment newspapers included in the newly designed database. She argues that these newspapers both highlight the historical possibilities inherent in urban print culture and provide a plethora of detailed information about everyday life in modern Shanghai. Liying Sun reveals that many connections between women’s journals and entertainment newspapers emerge through the use of the new database. Focusing on a well-known women’s journal, Linglong, and a well-known entertainment newspaper, Diansheng ribao, she argues that despite their different themes and materiality, the two categories o

Periodicals and Newspapers in Database Projects of the Heidelberg Research Ar...Matthias Arnold
206 words
This paper introduces resources on newspapers and magazines developed by the Heidelberg Research Architecture (HRA), the Digital Humanities unit of the Cluster of Excellence “Asia and Europe in a Global Context”. Its focus will rest on the Early Chinese Periodicals Online (ECPO) project, a collaborative endeavor between Academia Sinica, Taipei, the Cluster project MC15 “Powers of the Press,” and the HRA. The technical core of ECPO is the development of a database of women’s magazines and entertainment newspapers.
This database combines and significantly expands two resources developed in the Cluster’s first funding period which represent two complementary methodological approaches: The “Xiaobao Entertainment Newspapers” database covers more than fifty newspapers and provides information from a macro perspective (“extensive approach”). It offers characteristic features of individual newspapers and illustrates these with a number of examples. The “Chinese Women’s Magazines” database approaches its material from a micro perspective (“intensive approach”). It covers four major publications and records and analyses every single item, including advertisements.
While both methods have their advantages, with the extensive analysis providing characteristic features of a larger set of publications, and the intensive analysis offering detailed information for individual magazines, their combination within one system will offer a powerful research framework for the study of Early Chinese Periodicals.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

16. Looking ahead: Re-use of original material
Open Access publishers must help implement Budapest OA Initiative goals:
• re-use for lawful purposes;
• authors’ control over the integrity of their work;
• protect their right to be properly acknowledged and credited.
Possible solution: Automatic embedding (e.g. Getty Images)

17. Looking ahead: Re-use of 3rd-party material
Open Access publishers must help solve complicated copyright and licence issues:
- Different Open Access policies of archives, museums, and artists
- Refusal of reproduction; higher fees for rights clearance;
- Licence limitations are not automatically transferable to re-used publications

Following examples on Re-Use are all culled from this journal
Html view of one of our essays
text-based example of re-use: yellow shows original publication
Reuse and remix: editors, translator and author worked together on this revision and translation.
Media-based example of re-use
Chosen for two reasons:
Editorial: Decision to include podcasts was not an easy one: changes are impossible, which is difficult for a journal that claims to be peer-reviewed. Solution: unanimous agreement of editorial board.
Licensing: (next slide) Copyrighted material for this was easy (he is the director) – but I believe we would have had an issue with a CC-BY rather than a CC-BY-NC license
- Html version of article by scholar of architecture
Found this instance of re-use on a Cambodian blog
At first: no attribution, then friendly email exchange, attribution added
CRUCIAL: Link back to source is part of CC-BY – link back to the original source!
Important to enable re-use in the communities and cultures which we study. Reciprocal research.

Original material first:
- with increasing amount of humanities, arts and social science texts being published in open access, there are some major challenges:
Important to recall some of the founding principles
Authors are still nervous about Open Access. Issues such as plagiarism, tweaking and falsification are still prevalent.
Big question: How?
Getty Images just released a tool that allows bloggers, social media users, and the like to embed some 35 million images.
When a user embeds an image they get from Getty, it will include attribution to the original creator, as well as a large link back to Getty’s site. (see http://www.geekwire.com/2014/getty-images-launches-new-tool-bloggers-embed-stock-photos-free/)
For many Humanities and Social Sciences researchers things are more difficult – because there is no overall approach to use of 3rd party material in OA.
Worst case scenario: Refusal (see image below). Also bad: high prices for OA use
Also important to remember: license agreements are not necessarily transferable.
Best case scenario (next slide)
Want to close with the ideal case:
Image for first issue
No precedent, sent a mail to museum,
In less than 24 h had a reply and the image! All they wanted was a proper credit – which I reproduced here.
This is what we need to produce the best possible academic output for the widest possible audience to share our insights and discoveries for proper reuse across the world. It will take a concerted effort of open access publishers, authors and 3rd party rights-holders to make it happen.
