Impacts, consequences and outcomes of open policies in EuropeDanny Kingsley
The past few years have been extremely active ones for all things ‘open’ in Europe. The UK OA mandates have changed the publishing landscape, resulting in several subscription experiments with varied success. Over the past couple of years the number of European countries which have held out on their Big Deal negotiations continues to rise, and there are many examples where negotiations have completely broken down. The impact of this on libraries and researchers is still being assessed. And of course Plan S looms large, prompting huge debate and discussion across the sector. No-one is completely happy with Plan S but some players are more agitated than others. One of the outcomes has been a strong increase of interest in and signatories to DORA, and research culture itself is under scrutiny. The ‘post-truth’ political reality further emphasises the need for science to be above criticism, something being addressed by the UK Research Integrity Enquiry and the US Committee on Reproducibility and Replicability in Science. Meanwhile large academic publishers have seen the writing on the wall and are rapidly diversifying, resulting in a highly concentrated infrastructure market that threatens to shut down and monetise all aspects of the research process other than the final ‘open’ research output.

Kan diabetes 2 genezen - Presentatie op 7 april 2013 in het Europa Ayurveda C...EUROPA AYURVEDA CENTRUM
We krijgen na een intensief onderzoek van de dokter te horen dat we diabetes mellitus type 2 hebben. De meeste mensen denken onmiddellijk dat dit voor de rest van hun leven het geval is. Van een gezond persoon verander je in een diagnose getiteld ‘diabetes mellitus type 2.’ Is dat zo? Kun je hier nooit meer vanaf komen? Zijn wij zo geconditioneerd dat bij het horen van een ziektebeeld je dit zo vastprent in je hoofd dat dit voor altijd de waarheid is. Of kan het ook anders?
Is het lichaam zo ingenieus dat het in feite voortdurend een balans zoekt. En als dat zo is hoe weet je dat, hoe voel je dat. Kun je dat uberhaupt voelen. Wat gebeurd er eigenlijk wanneer je lichaam van gezond naar ziekte overhelt. Welke mechanismen zitten hier achter? Hoe kun je dat keren op een natuurlijke manier. Zonder je leven lang afhankelijk te zijn van de farmaceutische industrie. Op een zeer inspirerende manier neemt Cornelis Peters van het Europa Ayurveda Centrum je mee op een reis door je lichaam gezien vanuit de Ayurveda. Na deze lezing zult u uw aandoening op een totaal andere manier bekijken. Vanuit uw eigen unieke gezichtshoek.

Glucose level can drop if:
There is too much insulin in the blood (hyperinsulinism). Insulin is a hormone that pulls glucose from the blood.
The baby is not producing enough glucose.
The baby's body is using more glucose than is being produced.
The baby is not able to feed enough to keep glucose level up.

Editor's Notes
I am here to tell you about the datasets programme across the BL and in the Social Sciences team, There have been rapid changes in the digital landscape which has led to people generating and sharing ever increasing volumes of data. We refer to collections of data as datasets. While the nature of datasets varies across disciplines, researchers within each discipline typically agree on what constitutes a dataset for them. Examples of datasets include (1) example of volcanic data (2) cluster of chromosomes inside a breast cancer cell (3) uk poll of voting intention (blue cons, red labour, yellow liberal) Within the Dataset Programme, we consider a dataset to be an organised collection of digital objects that is produced or consumed during research. We emphasise the role that the dataset plays in the research activity, its importance to researchers, its impact, and its potential for reuse. Despite the differing nature of datasets, many of the services required by researchers are shared, such as methods of citation, discovery, and preservation.
So why focus on datasets? Data is the foundation for research It is an essential component of the scientific record. Time-consuming, costly to produce. Re-acquisition may be impossible. Therefore essential that it is preserved and shared.
Example Project 3 – Resource Discovery The BL is developing improved discovery services by deploying the Primo system from Ex Libris. We are investigating ways of including datasets alongside of other catalogue material such as articles and monographs. Now you can see how this works together with DataCite. There is a link next to the dataset that shows that you can get it as an on-line resource. This link uses the DataCite DOI. If we follow it, the DOI system takes us directly to the dataset. The same mechanism is also being used to link to articles and datasets in Elsevier's ScienceDirect and Thompson-Reuters Web of Science.
The types of data linked to include Data from ESDS/UKDA, UK government data, regional and local government data, international organisations etc.
