This document provides information on open access policies and practices. It discusses the benefits of open access, defining it as free, immediate access to research results with the right to use those results. It notes that whether something is open or closed is less important than whether it creates more value. Several speakers at a conference are quoted emphasizing that reusable content creates more value for end users. Successful open access policies mandate depositing research in repositories, linking deposit requirements to research assessments, and not allowing waivers of open access requirements. Data shows policies with these criteria have higher deposit rates. The alignment of open access policies across organizations can facilitate research sharing and mobility.

Open Science, Why not?
Presented at the Agreenskills meeting
Paris, 15 February 2017
Abstract: Imagine YOUR research some time in the future! Abandon all preconceptions, and imagine an idealised way of how research might be done in the future. What does it look like? Is the knowledge you’ll create in the future constrained to your pencil scribbled notebook, to your lab, and to the pages of an elite journal? Or does it flow seamlessly across disciplines and collaborative teams. Is the knowledge you generate in the future categorised, labelled and published according to rigid disciplinary taxonomy, or is it being applied by people you never met and may never meet. Is the fruit of your labour so discoverable, accessible and re-usable that it advances knowledge, fixes real world problems in research directions that you never thought of possible anticipated? And imagine all that happens even while you are sleeping, but attributing full credit to you? That future may become the default setting sooner than you might guess.
The presentation will briefly introduce Open Science in the context of an open, transparent, re-usable and reproducible research lifecycle, and present strategic and career arguments, such as why research of relevance to societal challenges can not afford not to adopt Open Science as the default setting.

The fourth paradigm: data intensive scientific discovery - Jisc Digifest 2016Jisc
There is broad recognition within the scientific community that the emerging data deluge will fundamentally alter disciplines in areas throughout academic research. A wide variety of researchers - from scientists and engineers to social scientists and humanities researchers - will require tools, technologies, and platforms that seamlessly integrate into standard scientific methodologies and processes.
'The fourth paradigm' refers to the data management techniques and the computational systems needed to manipulate, visualize, and manage large amounts of research data. This talk will illustrate the challenges researchers will face, the opportunities these changes will afford, and the resulting implications for data-intensive researchers.
In addition, the talk will review the global movement towards open access, research repositories and open science and the importance of curation of digital data. The talk concludes with some comments on the research requirements for campus e-infrastructure and the end-to-end performance of the network.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

48. Ensure that,
there should be open access to
publications resulting from publicly

preferably immediately and in any case
no later than six months after the date of
publication, and 12 months for social
sciences and humanities;
49. Ensure that,

access to scientific publications
resulting from publicly-funded research
in a balanced way, in accordance with and
without prejudice to the applicable
copyright legislation, and encourage
researchers to retain their copyright
while granting licences to publishers;
50. Ensure that,
the academic career system supports
and rewards researchers who
participate in a culture of sharing the
results of their research, in particular by
ensuring open access to their publications
and by developing, encouraging and
using new, alternative models of career
assessment, metrics and indicators;
51. Ensure that research funding
institutions responsible for managing
public research funding and academic
institutions receiving public funding
implement the policies by:
defining institutional policies for the
dissemination of and open access to
scientific publications; establishing
implementation plans at the level of

52. adjusting the recruitment and career
evaluation system for researchers and
the evaluation system for awarding
research grants to researchers so that
those who participate in the culture of

rewarded. Improved systems should take
into account research results made
available through open access and
develop, encourage and use new,
alternative models of career
assessment, metrics and indicators;

to comply with open access policies,
especially on managing their intellectual

74. Research evaluation
Universities with institutional repositories should
require deposit in the repository for all research
articles to be considered for promotion, tenure, or
other forms of internal assessment and review.
Similarly, governments performing research
assessment should require deposit in Open Access
repositories for all research articles to be reviewed
for national assessment purposes. Neither policy
should be construed to limit the review of other sorts
of evidence, or to alter the standards of review.

81. OA policy alignment is key to:
Enable researchers working in
interdisciplinary areas or in
international teams to comply with a
single Open Access policy rather than
with multiple and often divergent
policies.
82. OA policy alignment is key to: (2)
Facilitate interdisciplinary research and
harmonisation of practices among
different academic disciplines.
Enable researchers mobility across the
European Research Area.
83. OA policy alignment is key to: (3)
Support the EU harmonisation agenda
and promote common practices and
norms
Implement generic infrastructural
services.
84. OA policy alignment is key to: (4)
Accelerate scientific research,
technological progress and social well-
being.
