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

Virtual Research Networks: towards Research 2.0
In the next few years, the further development of social, educational and research networks – with its extensive collaborative possibilities – will be dictating how users will search for, manage and exchange information. The network – evolved by technology – is changing the user's behaviour and that will affect the future of information services. Many envision a possible leading role for libraries in collaboration and community building services.
Users are not only heavily using new tools, but are also creating and shaping their own preferred tools.
Today's students are incorporating Web 2.0 skills in daily life, in their social and learning environments.
Tomorrow's research staff will expect to be able to use their preferred tools and resources within their work environment.
Today's ánd tomorrow's libraries should support students and staff in the learning and research process by integrating library services and resources into their environments.

From peer reviewed journal articles, to assorted reports and grey literature, to datasets comprising numerical, textual or multimedia files; we generate thousands of research outputs.
In this session, Kirsten Thompson (OD&PL) and Nick Sheppard (Library) will discuss strategies for increasing quality online engagement with that research. We will explore how you can use ‘alternative metrics’, more commonly known as ‘altmetrics’, to monitor such engagement. Altmetrics can help to showcase the reach of your work, supplement grant and tenure applications, identify new audiences, and connect with other researchers in your discipline.
In the age of “fake news”, academics have a responsibility to share their expertise beyond the Ivory Tower. We’ll show you how to ensure all these disparate outputs are properly curated in university repositories with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). There will also be an opportunity to learn about and contribute to the Library led Data Management Engagement Award, a first-ever competition launched to elicit new and imaginative ideas for engaging researchers in the practices of good Research Data Management (RDM).

The Ecology of Sharing: Synthesizing OER ResearchRobert Farrow
Arguably, Open Educational Resources (OER) are starting to enter the mainstream, though some fundamental questions about their value and impact remain to be answered or supported with appropriate evidence. Much early OER activity was driven by ideals and interest in finding new ways to release content, with less direct research and reflection on the process. Furthermore, the majority of OER studies are localised, making extrapolation problematic. At the same time there are considerable practical experiences and ideas that it would be valuable to share. This presentation introduces the 'hub' as metaphor for the kind of networked research that is needed by the OER movement. The Open University's OER Research Hub project (2012-2014) works across eight primary research collaborations augmented with additional fellowships and connections with organisation to collate and synthesize research into OER across a range of sectors and stakeholders (k12, College Entry, Higher Education, Informal). The guiding research hypotheses are grounded in preparatory work in discourse analysis and collective intelligence as part of the OLnet project (which was previously presented at OER12). We then describe the research methodology for OER Research Hub, showing how claims about 'openness' may be validated in different contexts. The argument presented is that through (1) integrating and co-ordinating research methods and (2) developing open data policies it is possible to build an evidence base for the kinds of claims that the OER movement wants to make. Thus, through an 'ecology of sharing' researchers can build and participate in a research network that is greater than the sum of its parts. We will also show how this is working in practice by highlighting some of the activities that are taking place within some collaborations, showing how harmonizing the questions we ask in surveys and interviews across the different collaborations enhances our ability to make both comparative claims which apply in the broadest range of educational contexts.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

and even performance
Five key disruptors in comms are:
the ‘killer graph,’ the ‘killer image,’
the ‘killer story,’ a deep case study,
a performance (stand up, cabaret,
festivals, video e.g.
http://brokentalkers.ie/portfolio/th
e-examination/)

Web Archiving & Data
Services, Internet Archive
• Internet Archive’s large-scale project to build as complete a
collection as possible of scholarly outputs published on the web
(also to improve discoverability and accessibility of scholarly works
archived as part of these global web harvests).
• Project involved: targeted archiving of known OA publications
(especially at-risk “long tail” publications); extraction and
augmentation of bibliographic metadata and full text; integration
and preservation of related identifier, registry, and aggregation
services and datastores; partnerships with affiliated initiatives and
joint service developments; and creation of new tools and machine
learning approaches for identifying archived scholarly work in
existing digital and web collections.
• The project also identified and archived associated research outputs
such as blogs, datasets, code repositories and other secondary
research objects. The beta API and public interface "fatcat” can be

• LEAN project with cross-campus team to find process
improvements, impact on activities and communications
• Main benefits of combining teams were: ability to
communicate open research messages with a strong
policy context; ability to facilitate the required cultural
change in researcher behaviour; greatly increased
deposits and compliance
6. Building…then crossing bridges in support of Open Research
St Andrews integrates Scholarly Comms with Research & Innovation
• St Andrews Library engaged with the university’s LEAN change management
consultancy service to introduce a streamlined Open Access process to
support researchers and the university in meeting REF compliance.
• The LEAN project yielded key enhancements in: Communications/Advocacy
(resulting in reduction in email inquiries but significant increase in deposits
into the research information system (Pure)); APC transactions; and Open
Access compliance

Data Archiving & Networked Services/
Los Alamos National Laboratory
• Scholars across disciplines and throughout the research
life cycle are using a wide variety of scholarly
productivity portals and platforms on the web - such as
Slideshare, GitHub, figshare, Publons etc – but they are
not systematically archived on web (approx 75% not
archived) and searches return zero mementoes
• Scholarly Orphans Project trying to address this (NB.
Non STEM pubs), by devising an institutional pipeline to
track, capture, and archive scholarly artefacts
• Memento Tracer framework plays crucial role in
creating high-fidelity Mementos of artefacts

11. Open Citations
How open do we
want them?
• Citation databases play a key role in discovery and
assessment but currently lack community governance
and often have restricted access
• Over half of all articles referenced in Crossref now have
openly available citations thanks to the I4OC initiative,
enabling the citations to be used by anyone for any
purpose.
• Use of Open Citations can increase the coverage and
availability of citations
• For details and stats from citations platforms and
scholarly associations OpenCitations, Crossref, AGU,

environments via project Jupyter.
• This talk looked at one approach taken by the initiative - using a
competition (https://coleridgeinitiative.org/richcontextcompetition)
in order to encourage teams to help solve one of the core problems,
i.e. building machine learning models that identify references to data
sets with no standard identifiers.

13. Raising the Profile of Research Software
Through Collaboration
• Netherlands eScience Centre present the case for promoting
research software, which is fundamental to contemporary
research yet is not adequately recognised in the scholarly record
through citation.
• Read their recommendations for giving research software an
equal footing to research data and publications at the policy level
• See their presentation to the Netherlands Organisation for
Scientific Research, to highlight the importance of research
software in contemporary research and its relationship to
research data, open science, and reproducibility in research

Q: Won’t there be potential objections from researchers?
A: TPR is divided into two options, open reports and open identities
Q: Will the original submission not available as part of review?
A: No
Q: Are reactions in the review processes published
A: no
Q: Where does traffic to Publons site come from?
A: Mainly from the publications sites through to Publons (much less organic traffic)
Do researchers need a tool to help them track all ULRs of the platforms where the research is shared?
Should we ask the research community which platforms they’d like us to track?

Identified needs:
Bibliometric competencies
Briefing materials for senior managers
Criteria for rankers
COCI (the OpenCitations Index of Crossref open DOI-to-DOI citations) launched in 2018 (approx 445m citations DOI to DOI from 46m scholarly entities).
AGU: repositories are out-performing publishers on OC
(Earth, space and environmental sciences)
COAR: early signatories of the I4OC - not in completely in favour of fully open
How do we expand citations beyond the journal? (how to cite other content/data types)
Lens Citations: serving full text innovation knowledge as a public good (broadening the spread of knowledge and problem-solving)
Full text index facility to increase visibility/use of patent data
Crowdsourcing strategy (CROCI) – from OpenCitations
Inclusion of other digital objects (in body of text/supplement etc)
Rich metadata (systems to make sense of less structured data - in machine readable form) - needs resourcing and awareness of solutions (on publisher side?)
Need policy to require OC, incentives for researchers and services (at repository level)
Need greater knowledge of use of Citations - understand linkage between knowledge/knowledge creation OR lever to change behaviour (re rewards/credit)
Comment: Used to improve university rankings - OC improves coverage - is a benefit.
Question: What tech solutions are needed to extract the data and gain coverage
