A cost structure study for French HSS journalsOpenEdition
The editorial contents in SSH are produced by public fundsThe main editorial cost is the salary of the copy editor.Commercial publisher when appears is primarily operating as a printer, and/or a distributor
The most important part of the publishing cost of an article is the salary of the copy editor:
The average time required for copy editing tasks per journal and per year is 10.5 months as for the 50 journals of our sample. The editor’s tasks we are talking about are: managing articles from their selection to their expertise (through peer review), rewrite some of the work, check critical apparatus and add missing references, copy edit, structure files through single source publishing process (with TEI-XML tools for example) and prepare paper and/or digital formats.10.5 months makes an average of 42.000€ a year (salary). We can conclude that the median cost for 1 item (article) produced in SSH is 1.330€ (minimum cost is 500 and maximum 4.000), and the median cost for 1 page is 66€ (minimum cost is 5 and maximum 200).
The share of the cost for the print, broadcast and distribution is not predominant in relation to the salary of the editor:
The response we got from 25 of the journals is that the yearly average cost for printing and distribution is 11.200€
Using social media and quantitative metrics to engage the research communityNick Sheppard
The modern university Library comprises repositories, publishing platforms and social media and is central to the dissemination mission of the University. Recent progress towards ‘Open Access’ has enabled research to be more effectively disseminated via the internet and aggregated into an Institutional Repository, empowering institutions to disseminate their own research and monitor associated metrics. A repository is also an ideal home for grey literature and research data, where IPR is more likely to be retained by universities which are increasingly minting DOIs for this type of content, ensuring persistence and enabling (alternative) metrics. This case study will present a Library led social media initiative at the University of Leeds examining local challenges and presenting usage data from Altmetric.com, Twitter Analytics and IRUS-UK.
The University of Leeds is a research intensive Russell Group University with a well-developed ecosystem of research oriented Twitter accounts. These include both University branded accounts overseen by schools, faculties or research groups as well as a huge number of ‘personal’ accounts operated by individual staff or students. In 2012 an account focussed on research data was set up in the Library as part of the Roadmap project but was used only sporadically before being rebranded in 2017 and used more actively to engage with the research community, to promote both OA research papers and datasets.
Themes and challenges include quantitative metrics, institutional and departmental oversight of social media, operational implications and sustainability.
Open Science, Open Data: towards a new transparent and reproducible ecosystemLIBER Europe
Presented at the Preforma Open Source Workshop 8 April 2016
As a library membership organization, LIBER works on addressing Open Science barriers. Standardisation of file formats can really help in overcoming some of these barriers: it enables us to process and preserve data in a controlled way, it helps ensure that outputs are really open and accessible in the long term and it improves interoperability of new tools and services. Making sure data is stored in a controlled way and can be (re) used today and in the future is an important element in Open Science. We see this as not only a technical challenge but also a social one: awareness, trust and community building is needed in order to ensure uptake of these standards. Libraries therefore have a valuable role to play in the development of good research data management throughout all phases of the Open Data lifecycle.

Digital transformations: new challenges for the arts and humanities - Andrew ...Jisc
‘Digital Transformations’ is one of four major stretegic themes currently being developed by the Arts and Humaniies Research Council.
In this presentation, the Theme Leader Fellow will explore some of the work that has been undertaken by projects funded within this strand and will consider how they reflect the wider possibilities and challenges presented to the arts and humanities by such developments as data analytics, linking of data, visulalisation and the internet of things. The way in which the arts and humanities can also offer a distinctive perspective on such issues as identity, authenticity, cretivity and the digital economy will also be discussed.

Open access resources refer to digital materials, often scholarly or educational in nature, that are freely available for anyone to access, use, and distribute without the need for subscription fees or payment. These resources promote knowledge sharing, collaboration, and the democratization of information.
Slides from a webinar for the Royal Society of Chemistry on 24th February 2016.
See the URI below to access the full report from the RSC survey "The role of libraries in open access publishing":
http://www.rsc.org/campaigns/m/lc/lc16013/open-access/
We often hear that we are in a transitional phase of open access publishing, but it is not always clear how we will reach a fully open access environment, what that will look like and what it means for scholarly research. This webinar will draw insights from a librarian survey we ran in 2015, discussing areas where librarians feel a lack of confidence and presenting technical and policy developments.
Register to gain a deeper understanding of:
• The historical and political context of scholarly publishing
• Funder and other policy requirements for Open Access (e.g. HEFCE and RCUK in the UK, Horizon2020 in Europe and NIH is the USA)
• Developing models of OA including “Gold”, “Green” and “hybrid”
• Jisc support services for OA
• Social media and OA – e.g. “Altmetrics” (alternative metrics) as potential indicators of impact beyond the traditional readership of scholarly material

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Open Access in Architectural Research
14. Openness is a big topic in
many fields. This includes
scholarly communication
14
15. How can we think about
openness in the scholarly
communication of
architectural research?
15
16. What is openness?
“Open Access
literature is digital,
online, free of
charge, and free of
most copyright and
licensing
restrictions.”
Traditionally,
academic knowledge
has been created by
universities’
researchers then
published and sold by
publishers back to
universities
16
17. “With Open Science TU Delft wishes to reach
an as wide as possible dissemination of
scientific knowledge, free of charge to all
users and accessible online. It entails Open
Access to publications, responsible Research
Data Management, Open Education and Open
Source Software.”
17
19. Some forms of knowledge in architectural research
DataImages Knowledge
Articles Monographs
19
20. Journal Articles
The cost to universities: Harvard University
Library on cost of subscription to closed
access journals
‘"Untenable situation" at the university by
making scholarly interaction "fiscally
unsustainable" and "academically restrictive’
Cost to Harvard Harvard University Library of
$3.5m per year
20
21. Journal Articles
A crazy situation: Universities
and their staff are undertaking
the labour of writing and peer
reviewing (for free) and then
paying again for limited
access.
21
22. Two Points to Note
70 studies have
been on greater
citation rates with
Open Access. 46 of
the 63 conclusive
studies (73%) show
openness -> more
citations.
Open access
does not mean
no peer review
22
23. How to Publish
Open Access
Gold Road - Author / Funder /
University pays an Article
Processing Charge (APC) to
allow open access. Author then
follows normal procedure for
publication.
Green Road - Author follows
normal procedure for
publication, but also deposits a
version of the article in a
repository (ie university
repository)
23
24. ● Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
identifies Open Access journals
○ Includes 69 entries for architecture
● Beall’s list of predatory and questionable
publishers (507 journals and 693 publishers in
2015)
● Sherpa / Romeo online service identifies
traditional journals that accept hybrid OA
● Excellent alternative - Open Library of Humanities
24
25. Questions to ask:
● How ‘open’ is this journal?
● Is this OA journal peer-reviewed, included in Web of
Science?
● How much is the Article Processing Charge ?
(Between 100 - 3000 Euros)
Read Publisher’s Agreement before selecting the journal
Funding:
● University OA funds
● Funders allow for OA costs in budget
25
26. How to Publish
Open Access
Gold Road - Author / Funder /
University pays an Article
Processing Charge (APC) to
allow open access. Author then
follows normal procedure for
publication.
Green Road - Author follows
normal procedure for
publication, but also deposits a
version of the article in a
repository (ie university
repository)
26
28. Sherpa / Romeo will
reveal which version of
an article you can deposit
in an open access
repository
28
29. Monographs
“A monograph’s average library sales
plummeted from around 2,000 copies in
1980, to 1,000 in the late 1980s, to 500 in the
1990s, to a little more than 200 in the early
years of this century (2004)”
29
30. Monographs
As with journals, openness changes business
model - author, universities, funders pay -
readers can access free of charge
And again open access does not mean no
peer review
See excellent study by Collins, Milloy and
Stone
30
32. Monographs
OAPEN, an aggregator of
scholarly Open Access
books, a has had 2
million downloads of
approx 2,000 books on
its website. On average
2,000 downloads per
book.
Online usage, measured through
book visits and page views in Google
Books, improved for open access
books.
On average, discovery of open
access books, measured as book
visits in Google Books, increased by
142%. Online usage, measured as
page views in Google books,
increased by 209%
32
36. Wikimedia Commons
Why should I share my
photos?
Because it gives others
the convenience and
legal freedom to
embed (and cite) your
work in theirs
36
37. Europeana aggregates
over 50m records to
cultural heritage. It
works thanks to
content made openly
available, on similar
licencing to Wikimedia
Commons
37
38. Wikidata
Why should I share my
data?
Because the data is
can be used and
surfaced in so many
ways on the Internet
38
43. Wikipedia
‘Everyone’ looks at
Wikipedia. If you want
your knowledge to be
disseminated it must be
included or references
in Wikipedia.
