Higher Education Academy Research-Teaching Nexus Action Set Workshop held at University of Wales, Trinity St. David's, Carmarthen Campus, on Wednesday 15th September 2010. The workshop was convened by Professor Simon Haslett (University of Wales, Newport) and facilitated by Professor Stuart Hampton-Reeves (University of Central Lancashire).
The document discusses guidelines for library services for international students produced by a project group formed in 2006. It provides definitions of international students and discusses why focusing on services for international students is important now given trends in globalization, competition, and growth in international students. It also summarizes research conducted by the project group which found that while most UK universities had international strategies, few libraries had specific strategies or staff dedicated to international students. The remainder of the document outlines key concepts libraries should consider when developing services for international students, such as managing expectations, staff development, adapting resources, information literacy support, communication, and developing an overall strategy. It also lists examples of best practices and provides information about workshops being held to discuss implementing the guidelines.

Presented by CLACSO at
World Humanities Conference
CLACSO’s 50th Anniversary Symposium
Panel “The humanities and knowledge as a public good”
University of Liege, Belgium, 7-9 August 2017
The document discusses open access publishing and institutional repositories. It defines open access as digital content that is free of charge and free of copyright restrictions. Open access can be achieved through open access journals ("gold open access") or by self-archiving works in open access repositories ("green open access"). The benefits of open access include wider dissemination of research and advancing science. Institutional repositories are digital archives for preserving and providing open access to an institution's research output. The University of Cape Town has an open access policy that requires depositing works like theses, dissertations and journal articles in its institutional repository, OpenUCT.
The document discusses competing expectations and influences on doctoral education from different perspectives. It questions whether topics are driven more by knowledge economy goals or personal interests. Examining PhD in Higher Education students' topics, it analyzes how policy, management, and international factors may influence choices. It also compares operations and benchmarks between social science and natural science PhDs. Finally, it questions if alternative methodologies could promote social justice by focusing on lived experiences over policy implementation, and whether the "small" scale could address issues better than traditional approaches.
This document summarizes a librarian's presentation on academic publishing and open access models.

Insights into European research funder Open policies and practicesSPARC Europe
This document summarizes the key findings from a survey of 62 European research funders on their open access and open science policies and practices. The survey was conducted as part of the RIF Project, which aims to promote more open policies across Europe. Key findings include: over half of funders have open access policies but few have research data policies; most funders provide some support for open access infrastructure but less for research data infrastructure; and while many funders have signed declarations on responsible metrics, journal impact factors remain widely used in evaluation. The report recommends European funders do more to harmonize, strengthen and implement their open policies.

Making Open the Default in Scholarly Communication, and the Implications for ...SPARC Europe
This document summarizes a presentation about making open access the default in scholarly communication and implications for libraries. The key points are:
1) Open access promises to remove barriers to access, reduce costs, and increase research impact, but is not yet the norm due to obstacles like assessment systems rewarding prestige publications and a culture that does not incentivize open practices.
2) Libraries can help by advocating for policy changes, educating researchers, and reallocating resources from licensing to supporting open infrastructure and services.
3) Significant changes are needed as the system transitions to open access as the default, including collaboration between libraries and reallocation of resources, in order to ensure libraries remain relevant in the future scholarly ecosystem

This document summarizes a study analyzing the effectiveness of open access policies in increasing repository deposit rates. The study classified over 600 policies, identified 6 key policy conditions correlated with higher deposit rates, and conducted a regression analysis. The analysis found that policies mandating deposit, not allowing waivers, linking deposits to research evaluations, and requiring open access had significantly higher deposit rates. Eighteen policies, including 5 funders and 13 institutions, contained all significant criteria. The universities with the highest deposit rates all had policies containing these criteria.
