The presentation discusses best practices and lessons learned from advocating for open access in libraries. It highlights that high-level stakeholders and influential researchers are important allies for advocacy campaigns. The presentation also provides tactics that have proven effective, such as identifying champions, engaging young researchers, and presenting case studies of open access repositories and journals. Challenges discussed include the importance of timing advocacy efforts strategically and having a trained team to develop open access infrastructure. Some results of advocacy campaigns included new open access policies and repositories being established.
Open Access Week celebrations in EIFL partner countriesIryna Kuchma
Open Access Week celebrations were held in over 60 developing countries through EIFL partnerships. Over the past year, there has been significant growth in open access repositories and journals in these countries. Advocacy efforts have led to new open access policies at 33 institutions. Events and workshops educated over 11,000 people, and new collaborations have been formed. Challenges remain in planning advocacy projects, but results show increased open access outputs and momentum toward national policy discussions.

Open Science in the Global South: A Case of IndiaAnup Kumar Das
"Open Science in the Global South: A Case of India" was presented in the Seminar on Open Science Policy and Technology Access: A Challenge for Developing Countries, on 23 March 2017, at Mangosuthu University of Technology, Durban, South Africa.
This study examines the relationship between policy and practice in the world of open education. It draws largely on the findings of other research projects and their openly licensed outputs (e.g. Creative Commons, POERUP) to map open education policies. In this presentation we will take the audience on a 'world tour' of OER policy, highlighting important case studies and scaffolding a participative discussion where members of the OER community can refine their understanding of the key issues. In describing the policy context for OER we provide a short historical review of relevant policy, including the Budapest OA Initiative (2002); the establishment of a Global OER Community (2005); the Cape Town Declaration (2007) and the Paris Declaration (2012). We then go on to look at each continent in turn and talk about the different kinds of policy climates, highlighting local and national case studies which merit particular interest. We pay particular attention to the USA, where there are many interesting policies at institutional, local and state levels (and where original research has been undertaken in collaboration with OER pilot participants).
Grand Tour of OER Policy (w. Rob Farrow, OER Research Hub) (OER14, Newcastle UK)Sara Frank Bristow
This document provides a summary of OER policy research and milestones over time, including international declarations and national/regional policies. It discusses the OER Research Hub's hypothesis on policy and highlights several key findings from their research map, including many examples of OER policies at international, national and regional/local levels. While policies have helped promote OER in some areas, the relationship between pilots and formal policies is complex. Defining what constitutes an OER policy also remains challenging.

1) The document discusses open access to information for researchers in Northern Cyprus and evaluates e-libraries and databases available. It notes that while open access helps reduce costs, economic challenges like high inflation in Northern Cyprus increase costs of accessing information.
2) Recommendations include that all institutions in Northern Cyprus should collect information and backup data in open archives to integrate with European research infrastructure and comply with open access rules.
3) Adopting open access policies can help Northern Cyprus researchers despite the territory's economic and political situation.
The document discusses the open-access movement, which aims to provide free global dissemination of research through online journals. It notes that commercialization and high subscription costs have limited access to scholarly information. The open-access model makes research openly available online to increase dissemination. The document also describes the Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, an open-access peer-reviewed journal supported by East Carolina University that publishes research to make it more accessible worldwide.
This document discusses open access author funds and debates their pros and cons. It provides an overview of the University of Ottawa's open access author fund program, including eligibility criteria and data on usage from 2012-2013. While open access funds can help researchers publish and promote open access, critics argue that having libraries pay author fees does not address the underlying issues of high and inconsistent publishing costs and sustains the current unsustainable publishing model. Overall, the document presents perspectives both in favor of and skeptical about open access author funds.
This document discusses data management practices in research. It defines research data and emphasizes the importance of good data management for ensuring integrity, reproducibility and excellence in science. Key aspects of data management include planning, documentation, metadata, sustainability, and publication. Funders increasingly require and support open access to publications and research data. The document provides guidance and considerations for implementing responsible data management and open science practices.
This document summarizes a presentation about supporting quantitative methods teaching with large survey data. It discusses the UK Data Service, which provides access to social science data. Understanding Society, a large longitudinal survey of 40,000 UK households, is highlighted as a potentially useful teaching resource. The presentation describes creating short videos, guides, teaching datasets and materials to make Understanding Society more accessible for teaching. These resources aim to introduce students to large datasets and quantitative analysis in a straightforward way, providing a stepping stone to working with larger "Big Data" sources. Case studies show how other universities have successfully used survey data for methods teaching.

The Current Status of Open Access to Scholarship in Japansmine
This document summarizes the current status of open access to scholarship in Japan. It discusses the growth of institutional repositories and open access journals in Japan, reaching over 1.5 million full texts. Several major developments in open access policy are noted, including mandates from the Ministry of Education and funders like JSPS. While about half of researchers report publishing in open access journals, their understanding and opinions on open access vary, with some concerns about predatory journals. Overall, Japan has made progress in open access through a collaborative "step-by-step" approach, but further policy implementation and cultural changes may still be needed.

Institutional repositories are playing a role in open science by tackling research data, and library communities are conducting projects related to repository software, metadata standards, and training for research data management.
The adoption of national, regional and institutional policies to promote free access to scientific knowledge have contributed significantly to boosting the growth of open access. In this context, the gold route represents one of the most important paths for the universalization of open access to scientific literature and the solutions employed complement the advances of open access globally with the contribution of the commercial publishers that started to gradually adopt open access solutions, the emergence of open access megajournals and open access repositories of articles published in restricted access journals. In recent years we have also seen the easing of use licenses that contribute to the increase of the number of open access publications, mainly in line with the principles and practices of open science.
Although the increase of open access publications is noticeable, the distribution of these titles among countries is not homogeneous; two contexts stand out. On the one hand, there are countries with an important tradition in commercial publishing, especially in the USA, UK, the Netherlands and Germany, and whose advance toward open access depends on business models that ensure the financial returns to large publishers; and on the other, there are mainly the emerging economies, whose journals do not draw much commercial interest, being mostly published in open access. Between these two environments, there are also national initiatives in developed countries that publish journals outside the commercial circuit of the large publishers.
In this scenario, Latin America is known to be one of the most advanced regions of the world to use the open access publishing model as a strategy to increase the visibility of the scientific output in the countries of the region. This protagonism is largely driven by national and regional initiatives, underlining the pioneering SciELO, which, through its decentralized model, promoted and developed a network of national collections of open access journals, focusing on each countries’ conditions and priorities. In most of these countries the collections reflect the implementation of public policies supporting research infrastructure and its communication, with emphasis on nationally published journals.
Through similar solutions, other countries have also highlighted the importance of nationally published journals for their national research systems, and have been making efforts to develop national open access journals collections (France, Serbia, and Japan, among others) as one of the essential components of their strategies of active participation in the global flow of scientific output and scholarly communication.
In view of the above, this panel will analyze the main characteristics of the most relevant national solutions, advances already achieved, barriers and challenges toward…
The Japanese government is significantly increasing funding for science and technology to revitalize its economy and address challenges. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's budget increased 18% and targets areas like energy, infrastructure, health and recovery from disasters. Japan aims to be the world's most innovation-friendly country by focusing on international collaboration, including designated world-premier research centers and support for global universities.

Similar to Syun Tutiya, The Current Status of Open Access in Japan (20)
1. The document discusses the concept of "open science" and questions what may lie beyond it.
2. It examines different components of open science like open access, open data, and open source. While open science aims to make scholarly knowledge more universally available, it is questioned if all publicly funded research and the public truly deserve open access.
3. The document raises questions about whether open science leads to better science, is a concept for scholarly communication or science practice, and if it will truly make citizens more educated or scientific. It concludes that while digital changes are happening, many aspects of science have long operated in similar open and collaborative ways.

This document discusses open access in Japan and potential strategies to increase open access availability of Japanese research publications. It notes that while Japan produces over 80,000 scholarly articles annually and has over 700 institutional repositories, only 6.9% of annual publications are available through open access repositories due to lack of author participation. The document proposes the CHOR/JST initiative, which would involve authors reporting funding sources at submission and connecting funders, authors, readers, libraries and publishers to improve access. It provides an example of Chiba University searching for articles by their authors funded by JST programs, finding around 400 articles but low author registration of funding sources is a challenge. The document suggests things may be improving for open access in Japan but more

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

“An Outlook of the Ongoing and Future Relationship between Blockchain Technologies and Process-aware Information Systems.” Invited talk at the joint workshop on Blockchain for Information Systems (BC4IS) and Blockchain for Trusted Data Sharing (B4TDS), co-located with with the 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE), 3 June 2024, Limassol, Cyprus.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

2. 7 points to report today
1. JST’s open access policy for publications from funded
research
2. MEXT’s mandate for open access to PhD theses online
3. Growth of open access institutional repositories from
the bottom up
4. Open access to local language(= Japanese) scholarly
publications by way of free open access platforms
5. Support for open access journal publishing
6. Japanese scientists’ articles in open access journals
7. Contributions to international collaboration

3. Open access: Backgrounds in Japan
u Open access to achievements of scholarly and
scientific research has been among global concerns
in the 21st century from the view points of:
- rapid development of computer and network technology
- financial sustainability of scholarly communication
u The 4th Science and Technology Basic Plan (FY2011FY2015) of Japan states the promotion of open access
mentioned the importance of open access
u In 2012, the MEXT Working Group issued
“Infrastructure Development for Strengthening the
Capacity of International Scholarly Communication”
- Institutional repositories as basic infrastructure of
scholarly communicaiton and support for open access
journals

4. Open access policy of JST
JST announced its policy on open access to publications
achieved by JST funded research projects. (Apr. 2013)
u JST reminds JST-funded researchers that they have two channels to
be openly-accessed.
u Using the institutional repositories, as recommended by the
national policy, JST will propose this open access with the
provision of the need for the explicit consent of journal publishers
and the embargo, and will clearly state the above in the application
instructions.
(The embargo period is supposed to be no longer than 1 year, and the
paper contents to be made public should be as per the Author's final
manuscript and so on.)
u It will also be possible to implement open access by publishing
papers in open access journals.

5. Mandated open occess to PhD theses by MEXT’s decree
Profile
Key Point of the revision(Mar. 2013)
A person who has been conferred a doctor’s
degree shall publicize the entire thesis on the
Internet within one year
on the Internet = through institutional
repositories of the institution
About 15000 PhDs are awarded each year in Japan, and all
will be available open access from this year. NDL will
preserve all theses harvested from institutional repositories
of PhD awarding institutions.

14. Prospects (personal)
Profile
u More positive mandating?
- Given US OSTP Directive, FASTER and FIRST, how about others?
- Can researchers be convinced? (No, but hita-hita, is Japanese answer)
u Research assessment / evaluation
- emerging methodologies using openly accessible information (e.g.
altmetrics) , as citation stats are too slow for funders to use in deciding on
which project to fund
u Asian as opposed to European / North American backgrounds
- Open access publishing is the only method left for us, with library money
dried up worldwide
- How could we deal with the coming drastic increase of articles from Asia,
where little if any scholarly communication infrastructure is implemented ?
u Realistic, i.e. budget, constraints
- Someone has to pay, but who is going to pay?
- NII plans a survey targeting researchers on their “willingness” to pay
