How ready is your institution for Open Access (OA) monographs? Although excluded from REF2020, there is no doubt that they will be included in the future, indeed you can already publish an OA monograph now. This session will first provide a brief introduction to the OA monograph landscape – what is happening, who is doing what, what models are being explored. It will then look at how institutions are responding to landscape and based on evidence collected through institutional case studies as part of the OAPEN-UK project, present tips for getting your institution ready for OA monographs. The OAPEN-UK project, funded by AHRC and Jisc is exploring open access monograph publishing in the humanities and social sciences. The institutional case studies included in-depth interviews with Pro-Vice Chancellors of Research, Directors of Research, Grant administrators, Finance Directors, Librarians and Repository Staff and researchers themselves. The session will be presented by Ellen Collins, Research Officer for OAPEN-UK.

Scholarly publishing – Jisc and CNI conference 10 July 2014
The document discusses proposals for reforming scholarly publishing in the humanities. It notes concerns from humanities deans about connecting with students and promoting their fields. University presses currently dominate humanities publication but it is unclear if they can address the deans' concerns. The proposal suggests an initiative where institutions fund digital publication of faculty work to better engage audiences online. It acknowledges challenges but outlines Mellon's efforts to address issues like determining costs, defining quality digital formats, evaluating publications for tenure, and gaining support from presses, faculty and institutions. Feedback is requested to advance the reform efforts.
EC Open Access Co-ordination workshop - 4th May 2011
This document discusses open scholarship and the value of open access to scholarly works. It notes that opening up the scholarly record through open access, open bibliography, open citation, and open data can help researchers. It discusses ensuring quality in open scholarship through peer review, citations, and other measures. The document also highlights studies that demonstrate the cost-benefits of open access. Finally, it discusses how open scholarship can help power the knowledge economy and support areas like health care and science policy.

How OA compliant is your institution - Jisc Digifest 2016
To comply with funders' policies HE institutions will need to record data about their open access (OA) research outputs in a consistent way.
In this session we’ll provide an overview of the Jisc-led tools and services that can support you with this. There will be an opportunity to discuss your workflows, plans, challenges and opportunities for RCUK and REF compliance and an HEI will provide an overview of their funder reporting and workflows.
Unpicking the OA lock - Jisc Digifest 2016
Open access (OA) to research publications brings with it significant benefits for UK institutions, researchers and research funders.
After several years of concerted effort to implement OA following the Finch report in 2012, we have learned, and continue to learn, a great deal about what works well, and what works less well. In this workshop we’ll present examples of good practice to support implementation from our nine pathfinder projects.

The document discusses the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), which is Germany's main funding organization for scientific research. It outlines the structure and roles of the DFG's various bodies, including the Senate, Executive Committee, Joint Committee, and Review Boards. It also describes several of the DFG's existing funding programs that support open access publishing, such as project-related publication expenses, publication grants, and Open Access Publication Funds. Finally, it calls for proposals for a new open access monographs program to clarify costs, business models, and requirements around quality, licensing, usage statistics, and long-term availability.
Getting ready for learning analytics - Jisc Digifest 2016
How ready are you to implement learning analytics in your institution?
Jisc has been offering an institutional readiness assessment to institutions involved in the development phases of the learning analytics project. Building on the learning so far we will provide participants of this workshop with questions and activities that will start you on the journey.
The workshop will explore legal and ethical issues that you may need to address; technical and data challenges that may have to be overcome and cultural issues that are required.
The case for learning analytics - Jisc Digifest 2016
Jisc is developing a learning analytics service in consultation with universities and colleges, suppliers and key stakeholders. The rationale is to provide universities and colleges with a basic solution that can form the basis of a complete solution to all you learning analytics requirements.
We believe Jisc are uniquely placed to provide a national infrastructure that can support the future development of learning analytics within the UK.
This session will explore the case for learning analytics, does it work and do you need it?
Unlocking the potential of cloud in research and education - Jisc Digifest 2016
We’re delighted to be hosting a discussion on the transformative potential of cloud computing for research and education, and the day-to-day running of our institutions.
We’ll be crowdsourcing questions from delegates via the Digifest app - look out for the prompt!
Strand 3: Ralf Schimmer, Max Planck Digital Library
The Max Planck Society is a large, independent research organization in Germany comprised of 80 institutes across three sections. It is establishing a framework to support open access monograph publishing through its digital library services. Key aspects include growing interest from humanities and social sciences researchers, collaboration with publishers through framework agreements, and pilot projects like Edition Open Access for self-publishing monographs openly. The goal is a sustainable infrastructure while still experimenting with policies and workflows.
Jisc visions: research
The document describes a vision for the future of research in 2020 and 2030. By 2020, research is increasingly global and interdisciplinary, with open access the default. Peer review remains important but is supplemented by new methods. Openness and collaboration are recognized as critical. By 2030, digital technologies complement researchers and process vast amounts of data. Discovery tools understand relationships between datasets. Researchers pose questions to digital assistants which mine information to provide answers.

UKSG 2018 Breakout - Setting your cites to open I4OC - MaccallumUKSG: connecting the knowledge community
Sitations are the way that researchers communicate how
their work builds on and relates to the work of others and
they can be used to trace how a discovery spreads and is
used by researchers in different disciplines and countries.
Creating a truly comprehensive map of scholarship,
however, relies on having a curated machine-readable
database of citation information, where the provenance of
every citation is clear and reusable. The Initiative for Open
Citations (I4OC), a campaign launched on 6 April 2017,
sought to make publisher members of Crossref aware that
they could open up the citation metadata they already give
to Crossref simply by asking them. With the support of
major publishers and the endorsement of funders and other
organisations, more than 50% of citation data in Crossref
is now freely available, up from less than 1% before the
campaign. This provides the foundation of a well-structured,
open database of literally millions of datapoints that anyone
can query, mine, consume and explore. The presenter will
discuss the aims of the campaign, the new innovative
services that are already using the data, what more still
needs to be done and how you can support the initiative.

Universities as e-textbook publishers - Jisc Digifest 2016
Scholarly communication is changing rapidly. As part of our exploration of this changing landscape Jisc is running a national pilot programme investigating the viability of universities publishing their own e-textbooks.
In this workshop we'll learn from participating universities who are creating their own e-textbooks, the decisions they’ve taken about business, licensing and distribution models, as well as the impact and value of their titles. We’ll also explore the viability of wider adoption across the sector.

The University of Sheffield and University of Nottingham have undertaken several research data management activities and initiatives. Both universities received Jisc funding to advance their RDM capabilities between 2011-2013. They have established RDM steering groups, conducted user needs assessments, provided training to staff and researchers, and face ongoing challenges around ownership, engagement, sustainability and treating data as a research output.

The Knowledge Exchange is a partnership of six national
organisations within Europe. As part of its ambition to make
Open Scholarship work, the Knowledge Exchange has developed
a Framework for Open Scholarship. This sets out the different
phases in the research life cycle against a variety of perspectives
that present barriers/challenges for Science/Scholarship to
be open, at the same time acknowledging that there are many
levels of stakeholders, reaching from individual researchers to
institutions to national governments. In this talk the presenters
will explain the partnership and share their recent report and
current work around Open Scholarship.

Bas Cordewener, Jisc/Knowledge Exchange UK data management environment and support
The document discusses a leaders conference on UK data management environments and support. It provides information on the current UK research data management policy environment, systems used, and challenges. It introduces Jisc's proposed Research Data Shared Service as a sector-wide approach to address these issues by providing a single, integrated solution for research data management across the UK. Key benefits identified include optimizing costs, growing the value of research data, and increasing compliance with funder requirements for data preservation and sharing. The development history and features of the proposed shared service are outlined.
Using OA policy schema
The successful adoption of open access (OA) requires clarity and simplicity in policies and processes. But could there be greater clarity of these to start with? Jisc has been working with experts to help funders and institutions express and develop their policies in a clear and comprehensive format and has developed a schema for this purpose.
This session will explore the schema and how institutions and funders can adopt it and clarify their OA policies.
Making sense of open scholarly communications data - Jisc Digifest 2016
The transition to open access (OA) is being accompanied by opening up financial data about the scholarly communications system. The costs of both journal subscriptions and open access article processing charges (APCs) – along with the revenues of the publishers who receive them – are now subject to great scrutiny.
This session will describe how and why this is happening and discuss the potential impact of the ‘new normal’ of financial transparency for publishers, librarians, and intermediaries.

Wrong, incomplete or inaccurate metadata affects the performance
of system-based library operations and the services libraries
propose to library patrons. Using concrete examples, we will
present the day-to-day difficulties librarians and library users
encounter due to poor quality metadata and their impact on
access, decision making and discovery. This session will contribute
to the general discussion about poor quality metadata, aiming
to illustrate how important it is for the publishing and library
community to have a good set of metadata for electronic resources
circulating in the supply chain.

Amy Staniforth, Aberystwyth University Jisc collections – NHS (Finch) pilot outcomes
The document summarizes the outcomes of a pilot project managed by Jisc Collections to extend journal subscriptions licensed for the UK academic sector to also provide access for NHS organizations in England. The pilot provided access to over 2,500 journal titles from 9 publishers and saw over 1 million article downloads in its first year. Acceptable pricing offers were negotiated with several major publishers but no funding was secured. Some temporary access was later funded. The document also discusses efforts to sustain national access in England to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews as its publisher Wiley moves to an open access model and NICE funding is reduced.
Investing in a time of desruptive change
This document discusses disruptive changes in libraries due to new technologies and user behaviors. It notes the shift to electronic resources like e-journals, e-books, and born-digital content, which require new library processes. Open science and open educational resources are also discussed. Surveys found that younger users value quick search results over assistance from librarians. The future of libraries is uncertain as their roles evolve in research and learning. Options for shared library services are presented to help libraries adapt to these changes in a sustainable way.

Meeting the Research Data Management Challenge - Rachel Bruce, Kevin Ashley, ...
Universities and researchers need to be able to manage research data effectively to fulfil research funders requirements and ultimately to contribute to research excellence. UK universities are comparatively well advanced in what is a global challenge, but none the less there needs to be further advances in university policy, technical and support services. This session will share best practice in research data management and information about key tools that can help to develop university solutions; and it will also inform participants about the latest Jisc initiatives to help build university research data services and shared services.

“Looking under the bonnet” of Wikipedia's open publication process is a chance to promote an informed, appropriately critical understanding of the free encyclopaedia that learners are already using ubiquitously. Discussing and challenging Wikipedia policies could support the teaching of general information literacy at any level. When learners improve or review Wikipedia articles, this involves them in defining established knowledge in their subjects.
To date, more than 500 course leaders in universities have set assignments in which students improve Wikipedia articles for course credit. In some areas such as psychology, management or politics, a large proportion of Wikipedia’s quality content has been produced by learners. In turn, the learners get to experience publication and review, where they are expected to read, analyse, write, and reference to a high standard.
According to the Wikimedia Foundation, a great majority of students surveyed say they prefer Wikipedia assignments to traditional assignments, and find writing for a global audience motivating. On the negative side, writing for the public can be daunting, Wikipedia’s encyclopaedic style can be hard to adjust to, and Wikipedian feedback can be blunt. So a Wikipedia assignment cannot be wandered into. It needs advance planning and careful monitoring.

In turn, the learners get to experience publication and review, where they are expected to read, analyse, write, and reference to a high standard.
According to the Wikimedia Foundation, a great majority of students surveyed say they prefer Wikipedia assignments to traditional assignments, and find writing for a global audience motivating. On the negative side, writing for the public can be daunting, Wikipedia’s encyclopaedic style can be hard to adjust to, and Wikipedian feedback can be blunt. So a Wikipedia assignment cannot be wandered into. It needs advance planning and careful monitoring.
Jisc Monitor workshop - Jo Lambert and Brian Mitchell - Jisc Digital Festival...
The Jisc APC pilot project aimed to respond to a changing global Open Access (OA) landscape by exploring key issues around the management of article processing charges. By bringing together representatives from academic institutions, publishers, funders and intermediaries, the project explored different approaches to managing Article Processing Charges (APCs) and investigated opportunities for achieving greater efficiencies.
The project indicated that Open Access publishing activity must be considered in its entirety to deliver maximum efficiencies within an institutional context. Following the pilot project, Jisc OA Monitor aims to provide a shared service enabling institutions to collate, analyse and report on all of its Open Access publishing activities and outputs (Green and Gold) both internally and to its funders. The service will offer institutions an insight into their degree of compliance with funder mandates and encourage international co-operation to assist in the development of processes, systems and standards that facilitates the sharing and exchange of relevant information between institutional, publisher and vendor systems.
An overview of Jisc OA Monitor outlining its core components. Community engagement and co-design is a key aspect of Jisc OA Monitor and the workshop will enable participants to contribute ideas to inform development of this new service.
Exploring co-design - Jisc's new approach to innovation
Jisc has developed a new approach to innovation called co-design. This approach involves Jisc customers and stakeholders much more closely in every stage of the innovation process from deciding which issues and opportunities to address to managing projects and ensuring institutions benefit from outputs. Jisc piloted this approach during 2013 and this session will reflect on the pilot and the projects that were included. From 2014 onwards, all Jisc innovation work will be managed using co-design. This session will allow delegates to explore the co-design approach and help shape the themes that we will focus on this year.
Meeting the RDM challenge - exercise - Jisc Digital Festival 2014
The document discusses research data management (RDM) challenges and components needed for research data services. It notes that libraries are primarily responsible for providing support and leadership, while research offices and IT departments also play roles. The Digital Curation Centre (DCC) aims to build RDM capacity and skills across UK higher education through needs assessments, policy development, guidance, training, and advocacy to support institutions in implementing RDM.
Crossing the threshold: moving e-portfolios into the mainstream - Jisc Digita...
Since 2002 Jisc has been exploring the use of e-portfolio processes, pedagogies, tools and technologies in a range of learning contexts. Here in this workshop we will showcase the findings and key resources from this body of work, with a focus on the results of Jisc-funded research into e-portfolio implementation at scale, including the ‘threshold concept’ model of e-portfolio implementation, and findings of a subsequent study exploring the critical success factors for implementation.
A range of resources will be shared for participants to engage with, including the ‘e-Portfolio Implementation Toolkit’, which aims to enable others to understand issues around implementation and identify case studies that are most relevant to a their contexts; and video case studies showcasing rich examples of practice. Experience from a recent implementation story using the toolkit will be shared.
Designing strategically aligned credentialing systems with open badges to eng...
Open badges are digital credentials that earners can display anywhere on the web. They are underpinned by an open accreditation infrastructure developed by Mozilla, which enables the issuing of open badges to recognise granular achievements gained through formal and informal learning opportunities and to capture attributes not picked up in formal qualifications, such as the individual qualities that could help a student stand out in the job market. This workshop will focus on effective open badge system development, introducing Mozilla and Jisc toolkits to support badge system design and a strategic approach to implementing open badges in a formal education context. The session will be led by Mozilla and Jisc, and will include tips, case studies and guidance on best practice in badge system design. Participants will gain hands-on experience with tools they can use for developing open badge systems for motivating learning, supporting engagement and progression and enhancing employability.
Augmented reality: a way to engage and empower learners? - Judy Bloxham - Jis...
This document discusses augmented reality (AR) and its potential uses in education. It begins by defining AR and explaining its benefits, such as engaging and empowering learners. Examples are given of how AR is already being used in different subject areas like sports science, teacher training, and automotive courses. The document then provides activities and guidance for educators to consider how AR could be implemented in their own contexts. These include identifying relevant areas of the curriculum, potential learner benefits, and aligning AR initiatives with existing technology resources. Further information is provided on publications about immersive learning experiences with AR.
An interactive and collaborative approach to staff development - Marion Mille...
It can be a challenge to provide engaging and interactive staff development that equips staff with the skills they need to contextualise and apply technology in their own teaching. The challenge is even greater when you need to change attitudes towards technology and encourage team working.
This will demonstrate a ‘Roadshow’ approach and how this has made a major impact within Learning Providers. Armed with a variety of mobile technologies for participants to explore, the Roadshow provides interactive training with an emphasis on collaborative scenario based activities, aimed at teachers and trainers. Participants are encouraged to chose a scenario or invent their own scenario, taking into consideration a particular student/group that they teach. They then use the technology to create a resource they then ‘sell’ the idea to the whole group.

Developing digital literacies - Sarah Davies - Jisc Digital Festival 2014
This document summarizes a presentation on developing digital literacies. It discusses defining digital literacies as the capabilities needed for living, learning and working in a digital society. It addresses aspects of digital literacy like ICT literacy, information literacy, and digital identity and career management. It also discusses supporting the development of digital literacies for students, staff, and embedding digital activities in the curriculum. The document provides examples of barriers and enablers to digital literacy development for both students and staff.
Digital student - understanding students' expectations and experiences of the...
Jisc’s research into students’ experiences and expectations of technology began in 2006 with the Learners’ Experiences of e-Learning programme. This became a reference study for the sector and helped change the way institutions understand students’ experiences with technology. Studies in partnership with the British Library, and work carried out by Jisc’s recent ‘Developing Digital Literacies' programme, have furthered our understanding of students' digital practices and needs. Now, through Jisc’s Co-Design programme, the Digital Student project has brought us up to date with how students' expectations are changing and what institutions are doing to keep up with them.
This workshop will offer delegates an opportunity to engage with the findings and recommendations from the Digital Student study and to consider what impact these could have in their own institutional context. A large part of the session will be taken up with a scenario planning activity in which delegates explore different outcomes depending on whether or not institutions rise to the digital challenge. There will be an opportunity to share effective approaches and to inform the next phase of activities being planned by Jisc to support the Digital Student Experience into the future.
Digital storytelling for public engagement - Dr Caroline Ingram and Chris Tho...
Instinctively, when people have wanted to communicate complex ideas in a simple way, encourage others to take action or demonstrate the impact of something on the real world, we have turned to stories to help.
Away from our institutions we’re telling and absorbing stories all the time. But despite this fact it’s not something we do enough of as part of our practice.
Digital storytelling is an idea that has been around for a few years but remains underused in public engagement activities. Unlike full scale video production, digital storytelling refers to a variety of technologies and approaches that allow people without advanced digital media skills to create short pieces of engaging narrative-based video, usually relating a personal experience.
Digital storytelling has applications in many areas including working with community groups, showing evidence of impact and encouraging public engagement with research.
The session aims to inspire you to investigate how you can use this flexible and accessible approach to dramatically enhance how you communicate with diverse external audiences.
We will show some example stories, including one from a practitioner academic who works in the overlapping areas of education, academia and technology. As well as evaluating these stories you will have an opportunity to develop some ideas for how you could use the techniques and find out about some of the important technological aspects of digital storytelling.
Authority files - Jisc Digital Festival 2014
This document summarizes a workshop on authority files. It discusses how authority files can transform from library silos to a web of linked data by uniquely identifying entities like people, publications, organizations, and connecting them using identifiers. Four use cases are presented: developing a repository authority file, enhancing a journal authority file to track open access evolution, integrating existing authority files to make cultural data web compliant, and using authority files to enable new analyses and business intelligence from research information systems. The benefits of authority files for discovery, reliability, accountability, and efficiency are outlined. An example of crosswalking different authority files is also provided. The document concludes with an opinion poll on authority file topics.
Enabling mobile learning - Jisc Digital Festival 2014
Mobile learning is the “exploitation of ubiquitous handheld hardware, wireless networking and mobile telephony to facilitate, support, enhance and extend the reach of teaching and learning” (MoLeNET, quoted in Jisc infoNet’s Mobile Learning infoKit). This meta-workshop brings together Jisc’s advisory services to deliver a wide-ranging guide to best practice and pitfall avoidance to allow learners to work with the gadgets and platforms most suitable and accessible for their context.
Whether the context is learners using their own devices (that smartphone attached to their hand, that birthday present tablet), or, in some cases, institution-provided devices, there are technical, pedagogic and organisational challenges to providing the learners with a high-quality, seamless experience. This workshop will introduce the wide range of practical, relevant Jisc resources, services and tools enabling the delivery of versatile, expectation-meeting, fit for purpose mobile learning.
This session will introduce the relevant resources, distil the key issues, and outline best practice in respect to mobile learning. Jisc’s expertise has already considered issues in relation to strategy and relationship to institutional mission, pedagogy, curriculum design and delivery, learning resource issues, technical implementation, legal issues, accessibility and inclusion, and training needs.
Identifying and driving change in partnership with students - Simon walker, M...
Jisc has supported the creation of a UK wide Change Agents Network to support staff and students working in partnership on technology enhanced curriculum change projects. The network provides a virtual and face-to-face forum for staff and students across the UK to share approaches/experiences and offer support. The network was created as it was identified that working in partnership increases the success of technology-led projects and delivers the identification of student need and appropriate action. Delegates will have an opportunity to hear examples of how institutions are working in partnership with students to identify and affect sustainable change. Students who have participated in the network will share their experiences and outline the benefits they have experienced in working in partnership with staff on curriculum change initiatives.
The network has worked with the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) to develop an award for staff and students working in partnership on change projects, the Institutional Change Leader award and this session will offer an insight into how colleges and universities are recognising and rewarding student participation in change projects. Participants will engage in discussion around this award and will be given access to the accreditation resources and materials, which they may wish to take to their own institution.
The network has also developed a guidance toolkit to support colleges and universities with implementing student partnerships, which has been developed from the collective resources of a range of Jisc, Higher Education Academy, QAA and institutional initiatives in this area. Delegates will participate in a group activity using these interactive materials so as to evaluate their use in supporting their own practice in taking forward student partnership working in their own institutions. Find out more about the Change Agents Network and follow it on Twitter (or #CAN2014)

Practical applications for altmetrics in a changing metrics landscape
"Practical applications for altmetrics in a changing metrics landscape" - Sara Rouhi, Altmetric product specialist, and Anirvan Chatterjee, Director Data Strategy for CTSI at UCSF
SoapFall2010
The SOAP project surveyed over 38,000 researchers about open access publishing. Preliminary results found that 90% of researchers believe open access journals would benefit their field, but only 8-10% of articles are actually published open access. The main barriers to open access publishing are a lack of funds to pay article processing charges (40%) and concerns about journal quality and prestige (30%). Further analysis of the survey data is ongoing, and the full dataset will be made openly available in January/February 2011 to provide facts to help policymakers, publishers, libraries, and funding agencies make decisions about open access.

Being open, accessible, and understandable by Jonathan Challener, OECD - #ima...
With the recent introduction of Open Data APIs, namely SDMX-JSON, and other web services planned, the OECD is moving from a pure ‘browser centric’ architecture towards a more ‘web service oriented’ architecture, with powerful and scalable data delivery capabilities in machine-to-machine exchanges, enabling a much wider use of our data by third parties. This focus has, and will further enable more and more users to assemble content and data themselves, compare or integrate data, or collaborate with each other to produce new content.
This also allowed for and has led to a number of new and accessible data experiences, now targeting those who do not understand, or have the desire to understand, specialised formats of a statistical nature. This is where the real value will be found in being ‘open, accessible, and understandable”.
TIDSR
The document summarizes the findings of a study on the impact of digitized scholarly resources. It describes various quantitative and qualitative methods used in the study, including webometrics, analytics, log file analysis, interviews, focus groups, and surveys. The study analyzed five digitization projects and found they had positive impacts like improving research and enabling new types of quantitative analysis. Usage varied by project, with some seeing more impact through teaching resources while others saw more impact through computational analysis of materials.
