About the Webinar
The publication and management of Open Access material now plays a central role in the academic research infrastructure, although its impact may differ across disciplines. If, as Heather Joseph of SPARC has written in College and Research Library News, "the full accessibility and utility of articles is a critical part of the design of the research system," then how can the library ensure that this material, which may be generated via an array of various processes from multiple sources, is easily available for its patrons to discover and use? Join NISO's presenters for a lively discussion on this timely topic.

Joining the ‘buzz’ : the role of social media in raising research visibilityEileen Shepherd
Traditional bibliometric methods of evaluating academic research, such as journal impact factors and article citations, have been supplemented in the past 5-10 years by the development of altmetrics (alternative metrics or article level metrics). Altmetrics measures impact of research, data and publications, such as references in data and knowledge bases, article views, downloads and mentions in social media and news media. This presentation gives a brief background to altmetrics and demonstrates how Rhodes University librarians are using social media to raise the visibility of the research output of their institution.

Open Access: What it is and why it is required for scholarly community?Sukhdev Singh
Introduction to Open Access to scholarly literature. Problems with traditional academic publishing and impact of Internet. Definition of Open Access and models. Why Open Access is required for the scientific and scholarly community? What can bloggers do to support Open Access. Open Access status in India.
This presentation in intended to introduce Open Access (OA); the OA movement; OA advantages for authors, institutions and society; OA business models and publishing in OA; important tools for research and publishing; and other ‘open’ initiatives.
Modern research metrics and new models of evaluation have risen high on the academic agenda in the last few years. In this session two UK institutions who have adopted such metrics across their faculty will share their motivations and experiences of doing so, and explain further how they are integrating these data into existing models of review and analysis.
Regional Models for Open Research and Education in Latin America - Guillermin...Right to Research
This presentation by Guillermina Actis was part of OpenCon 2017's Regional Models for Open Research and Open Education panel.
Guillermina's presentation introduced the regional landscape of science and technology (S&T) communication, focusing on the alternatives that have been built in the last decades to increase local knowledge production’s visibility through regional indexing systems and gold open access (SciELO and RedALyC). The high-level authorities’ efforts for promoting green open access policies and building its infrastructures will also be addressed by presenting the regional initiative established in 2012, LAReferencia, which is a federated network of nine countries that aims at establishing agreements and providing guidelines for the creation of repositories to provide open access to publicly funded research, addressing S&T production as a public good.
Kyrgyz Mountains Environmental Education and Citizen Science Project (KMEECS)...Right to Research
This presentation by Aliya Ibraimova was part of OpenCon 2017's Regional Models for Open Research and Open Education panel.
Aliya shared the successes and challenges of integrating openness in the Kyrgyz context through the implementation of Kyrgyz Mountains Environmental Education and Citizen Science project (KMEECS) and subsequent projects. KMEECS project applies a transdisciplinary approach to knowledge generation. It combines citizen science on the community level, environmental research and teacher training to foster awareness of and interaction with the local environment. At the same time it aims at generating locally relevant data on the environment in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. The project pilots the introduction of low-cost environmental field courses on water monitoring in schools in mountain communities of Kyrgyzstan’s Naryn province. Based on a citizen science approach, students analyse and generate data on their water resources, which are fed into a network of open environmental data.

This presentation by Nozuko Zukie Hlwatika was part of OpenCon 2017's Regional Models for Open Research and Open Education panel.
In her talk, Zukie covered Open Science, particularly Open Data in Africa. This was done from the perspective of the African Open Science Platform initiative. The status of Open Data in Africa was discussed through the lenses of policy, infrastructure, capacity building and incentives as per the initiatives focus areas. A list of countries actively involved in the advancement of Open Data was highlighted as well as those that need greater intervention. Possible Marginalised models for promoting open science in Africa were shared with the audience.
Assessing Current Practices in Academic Review, Promotion, and Tenure across ...Right to Research
This presentation by Carol Muñoz Nieves was part of OpenCon 2017's Next-Generation Initiatives Advancing Open panel.
The project “Assessing Current Practices in Review, Promotion and Tenure (RPT) Across the United States and Canada” departs from the belief that the adoption of open access and other open science principles among academics would be more widespread if ‘being open’ was explicitly rewarded in career progression of university professors. In the case of Canadian and American institutions of higher education, career progression generally takes the form of reviews of faculty’s work, promotions, and the achievement of tenure—a permanent, lifetime, position at an institution that cannot be terminated, except under crucial circumstances. The importance placed on the RPT process by all faculty suggests that changes in the policy documents and guidelines that inform these practices may provide the impetus for behavioral change, leading to broader interest and adoption of open access values. In the context of a broad and ongoing project, this presentation will focus in some of the results of the content analysis of 864 RPT guidelines and forms of 129 institutions across the US and Canada. These finding will hopefully provide baseline knowledge for thinking in actualized ways of effecting change towards a greater opening of research in North American universities.

Monitoring Health for the SDGs - Global Health Statistics 2024 - WHOChristina Parmionova
The 2024 World Health Statistics edition reviews more than 50 health-related indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work. It also highlights the findings from the Global health estimates 2021, notably the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

because, in most online databases, articles cost
about $35, and there are only about 10 pages…
My research should serve as a testament to free

because of this project, we should make a move
toward more inexpensive or free online research.”

47. My talk is over, but this is not
Lack of access is not a problem that only affects
one country, one continent,
or one field of study.
This is the generation to change that.
We need your help.
www.righttoresearch.org
1. Talk about the Scholarly publishing system. 2. Go over what Open Access is, and why it’s so great. 3. Talk about what you can do can do as students, and what others have done.
This is a feeling we’re all familiar with.
For me, when I used to hit paywalls I just thought they were a fact of life. I never stopped to think what was going on behind the paywall, and very few people know or will ever tell you. So that’s what I’m going to do now.
End with explaining that the systems works because everyone wants to get published. That means they can essentially charge a monopoly.
This creates very high prices for journals… here are some averages
So to re-cap, the reason you feel this is because of lalalala.
But you’re not alone. Thousands of others feel the same way, across the world.
These are someone the stories. Patients, Clinicians, Academics, Students, Librarians and teachers, all denied access to the research they need because of an archaic scholarly publishing system that is not fit for purpose.
And it’s lead to and underground, culture of sharing research articles online. This is often illegal, and while many of us get away with it, some done.
4-8 years, 26 years old, studies biodiversity, at a small university, used to save up to make trips to a nearby city where he could access work.
That is the human cost of putting a price tag on research, one of mankinds most fantastic assets. So we have to ask if there is a reason it’s so expense?
If I was giving this talk in 1914, which would’ve been difficult since I’m relatively sure powerpoint didn’t exist… yes.
Science, scholarship and all research is a about sharing and having impact. It’s unique in that scholars share their work, one of the most high quality works in the world, for impact, not for money and have their salaries paid in other ways. About involving people for the quality of their ideas – not whether they can pay.
Talk about the need for computers to help.
We need a change, and one of those changes is Open Access.
So what progress as been made in the past 10-ish years?
Numbers are great. When you allow everyone in – amazing. And if any of you are wondering what it looks like when you discover something …
It looks a bit like this. This, consequently is also the feeling I felt when anything went well in the lab
He was right to be pleased. The test he developed was…
Make point about serendipity
Students have been key to making this movement happen, in how they publish and in their advocacy.
Mention the percentages
In fact, they’ve done well over 1,000 meetings with Congressional offices since we’ve started working with them
And they’re in DC right now braving the now to meet with Congressional offices today and tomorrow
- Students helped convert the directive into action.
- Students engaging scholarly societies
Students touch every part of your campus; they’re an incredible resources to find supportive faculty, bring them together, show that Open Ed is a priority for them
Here at UBC students have been pushing an Open Access policy <<EXPLAIN>>
Similar action elsewhere: UNL (Promotion and Tenure), CU Boulder, University of Trondheim, elsewhere
- Students engaging scholarly societies
If you leave this hall and do thing else – follow Erins example
Start to summarise.
That’s why most of you are hear today. To learn how to become more open researchers, publish effectively, manage your data, measure your impact in a modern age. All key skills for your generation going forwards.
