This document discusses open access literature and its importance. Open access literature refers to digital content that is available online for free without restrictions. It is important because subscription costs for scholarly journals continue rising each year, limiting access. While research is funded by taxpayers and students, they must then pay high costs to access published results. Open access addresses this by removing barriers to access. It benefits students, researchers and libraries by providing free scholarly content. The document outlines how librarians and faculty can promote open access through publishing in and advocating for open access journals and repositories.
It appears highly probable that immediate open access publishing
will become the default mode for scholarly publishing – for the
biosciences first, other sectors later. ‘Immediate’ open access
means unfettered publication as soon as a scholarly work is
ready, with no embargo period. The costs of making a scholarly
artefact available can be reduced without sacrificing quality. This
interactive session will sketch the argument for these claims and
will present several value-added services that publishers could
develop to thrive in an open access world.
Open Access and Publishers - Michael Mabe (2007)faflrt
Michael Mabe, formerly VP at Elsevier and currently CEO of the International Association of STM Publishers (with membership representing nearly all major society and commercial publishers); presented the commercial and society publisher perspective on the Open Access debate including the Brussels Declaration opposed to many of the tenants of Open Access. Sponsored by ALA Federal and Armed Forces Libraries Roundtable (FAFLRT). Presented on June 25, 2007 at ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC.
There are currently approximately 28,000 journals publishing 1.5 million papers annually. Although the majority of new journals are legitimate, the credentials of some are questionable. Such journals and publishers are referred to as 'predatory'. They commonly send spam emails to potential authors, solicit submissions and request payment of article processing charges, but lack academic rigour or credibility. This presentation will look at examples of publishers, publications and provide practical tips to identify and avoid predatory publishers.
This document discusses open access for academics in the humanities and social sciences. It defines open access as making research and teaching resources freely available online without paywalls by self-archiving in repositories or publishing in open access journals. The benefits of open access include increasing the reach, impact and citations of research as well as meeting many funders' requirements. It describes different types of open access repositories and materials that can be archived, and highlights issues like copyright and promoting open access outputs.
The document discusses open access to scientific literature. It defines open access as digital content that is free of charge and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. It describes the benefits of open access as maximizing research visibility, usage, and impact. There are two main ways to achieve open access: self-archiving research articles in open repositories (the "green" route) or publishing in open access journals that do not charge subscription fees (the "gold" route). The document provides an overview of tools and standards that help implement open access institutional repositories, including the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).

Nicole Nogoy at the G3 Workshop: Open Access Publishing - What you need to KnowGigaScience, BGI Hong Kong
This document discusses open access publishing and some of the key challenges. It notes that while open access publishing removes barriers to accessing and sharing scientific research, major publishers currently control the market and charge high subscription fees. This puts strain on library budgets. The document outlines initiatives to increase open access, such as university and funder mandates, and notes that open access journals can have high impact. However, challenges remain around copyright and the ability to fully text mine and reuse content. More advocacy and support for open access is needed to address these issues.
This document discusses and compares green open access (self-archiving published works in repositories) and gold open access (publishing in open access journals that are freely available online). It provides definitions of these terms from various organizations. It also outlines recent open access policies from funding bodies and governments in the UK, Europe, US, and Australia that generally support both green and gold open access. Empirical evidence is presented that open access articles tend to receive more downloads and citations than articles hidden behind paywalls. Instructions are given for authors to self-archive works in La Trobe University's research repository to provide green open access.
What is meant by ‘predatory publisher’? Who is preyed on and by whom? What are the consequences of this publishing phenomenon? The Director of the US ISSN Center will draw on the experience of the ISSN Network and National Library of Medicine (NLM) to explore these issues. Criteria for inclusion in NLM’s indexes and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), as well as criteria for denying or revoking an ISSN, will be outlined. Statistics on the ubiquity and longevity of these publications, their impact on ISSN and NLM, and the role of librarians will be discussed.

Introduction to the Directory of Open Access journalsIna Smith
The document provides an introduction and overview of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). It discusses what the DOAJ is, defines open access, and outlines the mission and goals of promoting open access scholarly journals. It also describes the application and evaluation process for journals to be included in the DOAJ, and lists the required information journals must provide, such as editorial details, aims and scope, peer review process, and digital archiving policies.
This document provides an introduction to open access, which aims to remove barriers to scholarly research. It discusses gold and green open access models and reasons for the movement's growth, including rising journal costs. Benefits of open access for institutions include easy research access, increased visibility and prestige, and cost savings. Challenges include ensuring public understanding and maintaining repositories. Government funders increasingly require open access publication. The bibliography cites numerous additional sources on open access topics.
Institutional electronic repositories: a mandate for all researcherscalsi
The document discusses open access to scientific documentation through institutional electronic repositories. It argues that open access allows for greater visibility and impact of research, increased collaboration opportunities, and optimal use of web technologies. However, one challenge is disseminating research effectively. The document proposes several actions to advance open access, including developing institutional repositories with mandatory deposit policies, supporting existing and new open access journals, and communicating the benefits of open access to researchers.
Scholarly communication refers to the process by which academics produce and share knowledge. It began with scholars meeting to discuss ideas and corresponding through letters. As numbers grew, scholarly journals emerged in 1665 to facilitate the dissemination of research. Throughout the 18th-19th centuries, journals specialized and prioritized scientific findings. Major growth occurred post-WWII. Now, issues include author rights, visibility, and new publishing models like open access, which makes research publicly available online for free. Open access aims to address the "journal crisis" of rising costs limiting access. It benefits knowledge sharing and increased citations, though some debate potential disadvantages like loss of prestige or increased plagiarism risk.
The document discusses open access publishing and institutional repositories. It defines open access as digital content that is free of charge and free of copyright restrictions. Open access can be achieved through open access journals ("gold open access") or by self-archiving works in open access repositories ("green open access"). The benefits of open access include wider dissemination of research and advancing science. Institutional repositories are digital archives for preserving and providing open access to an institution's research output. The University of Cape Town has an open access policy that requires depositing works like theses, dissertations and journal articles in its institutional repository, OpenUCT.
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.
Opportunities and Challenges of establishing Open Access Repositories: A case...Sukhdev Singh
National Informatics Centre had established a subject repository in May 2005. It is meant for Medical and Allied Sciences and named as OpenMED@NIC . It has MeSH® based subject categorization and this makes it one of its own kind. Taking OpenMED@NIC as a case – this paper discusses key issues in establishing and maintaining an open access repository. Librarians and information science professionals can play active role in providing access and exposure to quality research and academic content generated in their institutions. Mature and standard open sources softwares are now available for setting up repositories. Libraries can install one of these on existing institutional or library servers to setup repositories. However to ensure better access and faster response time dedicated hardware and reliable connectivity would be required. Librarians and information science professional can play important role in exposing intellectual content produced by their organizations. They can take of various roles like – generating awareness among staff, researchers and students about benefits of self arching in institutional or subject repositories; training them in uploading their articles and other documents in such repositories; acting as meta-data editors and repositories managers. Establishing a repository, administrating and inviting authors to deposit their articles and other works in it is golden opportunity available to librarians and information science professionals. This opportunity should be grabbed with open hands.
The document discusses impact factors and ways to measure impact in the humanities. It defines impact factor as a measure of the average number of citations to articles published in a journal. Impact factors are used to compare journals but have limitations. The document asks if impact factors are useful for arts and humanities research and discusses other ways to demonstrate impact through publishing, media appearances, exhibitions, and developing an online profile. It also covers using institutional repositories to disseminate and preserve research outputs.

Knowledge Unlatched: Enabling Open Access for Scholarly BooksLucy Montgomery
Although digital technology has made it possible for many more people to access content at no extra cost, fewer people than ever before are able to read the books written by university-based researchers. This presentation explores the role that open access licenses and collective action might play in reviving the scholarly monograph: a specialised area of academic publishing that has seen sales decline by more than 90 per cent over the past three decades. It also introduces Knowledge Unlatched an ambitious attempt to create an internationally coordinated, sustainable route to open access for scholarly books. Knowledge Unlatched is now in its pilot phase.

The document discusses building one's spiritual house either wisely on a rock foundation like Jesus, or foolishly on a sandy foundation.
It notes two pairs from Matthew 7:24-27 - the wise/foolish men who heard but one obeyed Jesus' words, and the houses one built on a rock and one on sand. Obedience and doing God's word is emphasized.
The conclusion encourages examining one's foundation, responding to God's word through obedience, and ensuring one's spiritual house can withstand life's storms by making Jesus the foundation through faith.

Publishing your research: Open Access (introduction & overview)Jamie Bisset
Open Access: what is it and what do I need to do? (November 2013) slides. Delivered as part of the Durham University Researcher Development Programme. Further Training available at https://www.dur.ac.uk/library/research/training/
Academic libraries are increasingly investing in new efforts to support their research and teaching faculty in the activities they care about most. Learn why becoming a publisher can help meet the most fundamental needs of your research community and at the same time can help transform today’s inflationary cost model for serials. We will explore not only why to become a publisher but exactly how to achieve it, step by step, including careful selection of publishing partners, choosing the right platform for manuscript submission and editorial workflow management, one-time processes to launch a new journal, conducting peer reviews, maintaining academic quality, and measuring impact. We’ll also cover the broader range of publishing activities where libraries can have an impact, including open access monographs, general institutional repositories and subject-based author self-archiving repositories. We will close with a review of tools, services, and communities of support to nurture the new library publishing venture.

Emerging Trends in Scholarly Communication and the coming Decade of Open AccessLeslie Chan
The document discusses emerging trends in open access scholarly communications. It notes that open access is important for disseminating research, especially research relevant to development. Key issues discussed include changing contexts of research discovery and dissemination in the digital environment. Open access provides both philosophical and practical benefits by removing barriers to access. New metrics and forms of scholarly output are needed to better measure impact in open networks. The document advocates aligning incentives and policies to support open practices and networked scholarship.
The document summarizes the changing landscape of scholarly communication. It discusses traditional publishing models and the rising popularity of alternative models like open access journals and institutional repositories. Key points covered include rising journal costs, licensing restrictions, author rights, and how new models are increasing access and impact for researchers.
Talking about Open Access: SMASH and Subtler TacticsJill Cirasella
This document discusses strategies for promoting open access, including forcefully advocating the benefits of open access ("SMASH") or using more subtle tactics. It notes common objections to open access and recommends tailoring the message based on the audience. Open access benefits readers, students, authors, libraries, institutions, and fields of study by increasing access and impact. The document also outlines the progression of open access initiatives at CUNY from 2005 to the present.
Emerging Trends in Scholarly Communication and the coming Decade of Open AccessLeslie Chan
This document discusses emerging trends in open access scholarly communications over the coming decade. It outlines key issues like changing research contexts in the digital environment, tensions between openness and quality/impact measures, and the need to rethink how impact is measured. Open access is presented as important for disseminating research relevant to development. The current system of scholarly publishing is described as dysfunctional, commodifying public knowledge. The document advocates aligning research incentives with open access values and recognizing collaborative outputs from networked scholarship.
Steve Carlton - 'Removing barriers: Open Access and "non-traditional" students'sherif user group
This document discusses open access and how it helps non-traditional students. It defines open access as peer-reviewed research that is free to read and reuse online with few restrictions. There are two main routes to open access: gold, where articles are immediately free online, and green, where accepted manuscripts are free after an embargo. While open access is growing, change has been slow. Universities support open access through funding, repositories, advice, and advocacy. Open access removes barriers for non-traditional students by making research easily searchable and accessible regardless of affiliation. However, skills for using scholarly content and accessible summaries still need work.
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.

From closed to Open Access
This document summarizes how open access publishing is changing the way research is disseminated. It provides a brief history of scholarly publishing, outlines the benefits and limitations of traditional closed access models, and defines open access. Open access provides free online access to peer-reviewed research and is growing due to funder and institutional mandates. While it increases access and sharing, open access faces challenges around quality control and funding publication fees. The future may see greater open access support and alternative models like preprint servers and fluid embedded papers.
What the open access movement doesn't want you to knowPattie Pattie
The document discusses issues with the open-access movement that advocates often ignore or downplay. It notes that while open-access aims to provide free access to research, it shifts costs from consumers to authors through article processing fees. This can disadvantage researchers from less-funded institutions. Additionally, the document raises concerns about the exploitative practices and poor quality control of many open-access journals, including fake peer review processes and publishing dubious scientific claims to promote political agendas. The open-access model is seen as prioritizing authors over readers and eliminating value-added services from traditional publishers.

The document discusses open access initiatives in Uganda. It describes how Makerere University and other universities have established institutional repositories to provide open access to scholarly works. The repositories aim to increase the visibility, accessibility and impact of research produced in Ugandan institutions. They allow authors to self-archive publications and theses. The repositories are built on open source software and supported through partnerships with international universities.
The document discusses various strategies for researchers to maximize the impact of their work, including where and how to publish. It addresses choosing journals based on impact factors, open access publishing models, and alternative publication venues. It also covers measuring the impact of published work through metrics like readership, citations, and influence. The overall goal is to help researchers gain visibility, recognition and make the most of disseminating their research findings.
Open access provides free online access to scholarly research. It benefits authors through increased visibility and impact, readers by removing access barriers, and universities by showcasing their research. Open access is achieved through open access repositories which make publications freely available or open access journals which do not charge subscription fees. While initially concerned about losses, publishers have increasingly accepted open access through allowing repository deposits and offering open access publication options.
This paper reviews and analyzes the impact of Open Access (OA) publishing on medical research work. The aim is to establish, through literature review, how digital resources might provide an opportunity to house future medical scholarship outputs and the advantages or disadvantages versus traditional publishing.

UKRI Open Access Policy Changes (August 2021) v1.2Jamie Bisset
The new UKRI Open Access policy introduces several changes to the previous RCUK policy. It will apply to research articles submitted on or after April 1st, 2022 and long-form publications from January 1st, 2024 onwards. For research articles, it no longer allows or funds publication in hybrid journals unless they are part of a transitional agreement, requires the accepted manuscript be made openly available under a CC BY license with no embargoes, and that all articles include a data access statement. It also expands the scope and requirements compared to the previous policy.
Effective Searching: Part 5 - Making your results work for you... (Generic Web)Jamie Bisset
This document discusses ways to make search results more useful, including:
1. Finding related results through citation searching, similar publications, text mining tools, and altmetrics.
2. Keeping searches up to date using search and citation alerts to be notified of new relevant publications.
3. Tips for each method like using reference lists, databases that group similar articles, and altmetric services that track non-academic mentions.
Effective Searching: Part 4 - Construct your search (Generic Web)Jamie Bisset
This document provides guidance on constructing and evaluating search strategies in academic databases and search engines. It discusses (1) grouping search terms using parentheses, (2) constructing searches by combining keywords and concepts, and (3) using search history to break searches into chunks or combine parts in different ways. It also emphasizes evaluating search results to ensure the strategy achieved the intended results.
Effective Searching: Part 3 - Narrow your search (Generic Web)Jamie Bisset
This document discusses ways to narrow searches to focus on relevant results. It recommends:
1. Using proximity connectors like NEAR/5 to search for terms within a specified number of words.
2. Using phrase searching with "quote marks" or {curly brackets} to find exact phrases.
3. Excluding irrelevant terms using NOT, though being careful it doesn't remove useful results.
4. Filtering searches to particular fields like the abstract to reduce results to evaluate.
The goal is to focus searches while avoiding excluding potentially useful information. Proximity, phrases, exclusions and filtering can make searches more precise.
Effective Searching: Part 1 - Key Concepts (Generic Web)Jamie Bisset
This document provides an overview of defining key concepts for effective searching. It discusses identifying the types of resources needed and key concepts around which to build a search strategy. The key is to start broadly by identifying multiple keywords, terms, and phrases to describe each concept. Future slides will discuss broadening the search using tools like synonyms, wildcards and truncation, as well as narrowing the search through proximity connectors and exclusions to produce efficient results. The entire series aims to cover tools for constructing comprehensive yet focused searches.
Effective Searching: Part 2 - Broaden your search (Generic Web)Jamie Bisset
This document discusses ways to broaden searches by considering alternative terms, spellings, and word stems. It recommends using synonyms, accounting for changes in terminology over time, considering different spellings between American English and other dialects, and using wildcards and truncation to include word stems and plurals. The goal is to cast a wide net and avoid missing potentially relevant results by only searching for exact terms.
Identifying your information need (Generic)Jamie Bisset
This document provides guidance on identifying your information needs when conducting research. It explains that having a clear understanding of what you are looking for will help you search efficiently. It then outlines different types of information and the best sources to find each type, such as using encyclopedias for introductory overviews, journal articles for latest academic research or in-depth studies, books for broader historical perspectives, archives for primary sources, and news sources for media reports and contemporary viewpoints. The document stresses that different tools and approaches are needed to search different materials, and identifying your specific information needs upfront helps focus your search in the most appropriate places.
Responsible metrics recognize that quantitative research metrics only show part of the impact of research. Common themes in responsible metrics approaches include recognizing both qualitative and quantitative measures, ensuring accurate data is used to calculate metrics, and accounting for variation in disciplines, career stages, and publication types. The goal of responsible metrics is to provide a more complete view of research impact by using metrics alongside other measures.

Durham Leading Research Programme: Academic ImpactJamie Bisset
Aims of the Module
Researchers intending to publish are met with an increasingly complex world of options, influences and pressures. The digital landscape and developments in open access publishing provide additional dissemination channels beyond traditional print; bibliometric tools purport to measure journals’ academic impact ; funder mandates, institutional mandates and routine research assessment exercises place additional requirements on authors which may influence their choice of where and how to publish. The aim of this module is to help researchers navigate this territory and make well- informed decisions.
Content
• Background to the development and use of publication metrics as research indicators, and the issues surrounding this.
• Journal metrics: assess the academic impact of journals, including Journal Impact Factors, Journal Citation Reports and other measures.
• Citations and author metrics: tools available to assess an authors’ individual citation counts and impact, including the h-index.
Approach
The module will take the form of a workshop with on-screen demonstrations and hands-on opportunity, with some presentation and hand-out materials highlighting issues and discussions within the academic community.
Intended outcomes
By the end of the session participants will:
• Increased awareness of the various journal and author metrics available.
• Developed understanding of the key issues around the use of these metrics and what research behaviours might be incentivised.
• Awareness of the potential opportunities for exploring wider academic and non-academic impact of publications from altmetric tools available.
Durham Researcher Development Programme 2015-16: Bibliometric Research Indica...Jamie Bisset
There is an ever-increasing need to make your research more visible as you establish your career, and metrics to measure your research performance when it comes to thinking about promotion and probation.
This session will focus on bibliometric research indicators (such as the Journal Impact Factor and SCImago, author metrics such as the h-index and g-index) and sources for accessing citation data (Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports and Google Scholar). These may be one of several factors to consider when thinking about where to submit an article manuscript for publication to maximise the potential academic impact of the research, and tools useful to be familiar with if they form part of any research evaluation you and your authored journal papers may be subject to.
An additional section will also look at tips to consider when writing an article abstract to maximise its discoverability and cite-ability.
Learning Outcomes:
• Understanding of meaning and intended uses of bibliometric research indicators
• Understanding of how some key indicators (JIF, H-index) are calculated
• Ability to make a judgement as to the appropriateness and limitations of such indicators
• Ability to use online datasets to view and calculate key bibliometric measures
• Awareness of some factors which can increase the visibility and discoverability of your own research in bibliographic databases.
Previous participants have said:
"The session has helped provide me with the basic information on Journal Impact and where to find information such as an author's h-index. It will be useful for future journal submission consideration."
"This session was very useful for me to become familiar with the topic."

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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.

• Many scholarly societies rely on a significant proportion
of their income from their journal subscriptions.
• This money is then used to support initiatives such as
postdoctoral fellowships.
• These are good causes – but not publishing costs.
• In effect, these causes are subsidised through student
fees and research funding via library budgets.
• This is a question of rethinking the business model of how
scholarly societies are funded, and should not be about
restricting access to research.

Editor's Notes
Also...Knowledge as a public good, restricted in private hands...... an ineffective and out-dated publishing system penalises the less wealthy
... Also the ‘self-interest’ argument for researchers. If their institutions can’t afford the resources, they won’t have access. Or they could provide access, but cut financial resources for researchers elsewhere.

The situation is even worse in the developing world, where journal subscription prices mean that many institutions simply cannot afford access to up-to-date research.
This is the main issue for me when I come to discuss with academics.Financial and library subscriptions – they understand, but it just doesn’t seem to have the big catch.The ethical argument most understand, but I’ve found leads to further side-tracking discussions… and I did chicken out of raising this in my discussion with our philosophers who were already in a spikey mood.
