The document provides an overview of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). It discusses what the DOAJ is, what open access is, the mission of the DOAJ to curate and provide access to high quality open access journals, and the required information and evaluation process for journals to be included in the DOAJ. Key requirements for inclusion are that journals must be fully open access, peer reviewed, and provide specific metadata and policies around publishing, licensing, and archiving.

A presentation made by Judith Barnsby, DOAJ Publication Specialist, to the Library Publishing Coalition on 19th October 2016. Judith discusses why DOAJ is important to open access and which criteria DOAJ requires to be accepted into it.
Presentation by Dr Tom Olijhoek, Editor-in-Chief, at NEICON/ASEP Conference, May 17, 2016, Moscow, on the status of DOAJ post the shut-down of the reapplication project
Open access (OA) to scholarly literature recently hit a major milestone: Half of all research articles published become open access, either immediately or after an embargo period. Are the articles you read among them? What about the articles you write? Are the journals to which you submit open-access friendly? What about the journals for which you peer review? Are there any reasons why the public should not have access to the results of taxpayer-funded research?
In this slideshow, Jill Cirasella (Associate Librarian for Public Services and Scholarly Communication, Graduate Center, CUNY) explains the motivation for OA, describes the details of OA, and differentiates between publishing in open access journals (“gold” OA) and self-archiving works in OA repositories (“green” OA). She also dispels persistent myths about OA and examines some of the challenges to OA.

Open Research comprises open access to the broad range of research outputs, from journal articles and the underlying data to protocols, results (including negative results), software and tools. 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
Why Research Libraries supporting Open Access is vital to the achievement of ...ldore1
The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) supports the Lyon Declaration on Access to Information and Development, 2014 (which was a response/commitment to promote meaningful access to information as part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals), which states that a right to information worldwide would be transformational. Access to information supports development by empowering people, especially marginalised people and those living in poverty.
In this talk there will be a discussion of the vital importance of the availability of Open Access research publications to improve access to information and knowledge to enable the fulfilment of the SDGs to end poverty, improve health and education, reduce inequality, encourage economic growth, and tackle environmental destruction and climate change.
There will also be discussion of the role Libraries have to play in supporting Open Access at a national and local level, the options for publishing Open Access and the challenges.
Finally, the tools available to measure what proportion of your institutions papers are available as Open Access and what proportion are covering SDG topics will be demonstrated. These Tools will include Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Altmetrics Explorer.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
