In academia, the pressure to publish is high and the competition intense. This can lead authors to follow unethical publication practices, such as salami slicing, duplicate publication, and simultaneous submission. This slide deck explains these malpractices and shares tips on how authors can avoid them.
Open Access, Open Research, Open Data, Open Science, Open what? #gfm2013Christian Heise
Drawing from a quick overview of the recent discourses on Open Access, Open Research and Open Science we will challenge the all to often unspecific and generalized notion of "Openness". What does it mean to be open in contrast to being closed? On activist level the Open Knowledge Foundation proposed an 'Open Definition' which lists eleven criteria for openness. By discussing this definition we intend to outline some controversial issues in the current struggle for openness.

Open Access Barometer to Open Access Indicator: lessons learned from the jour...Mikael Elbæk
Monitoring a phenomenon has two remarkable effects; first it enables us to understand its properties and interact with the object or phenomenon in an informed way. The second effect (an interesting fact about social phenomenon such as publishing), is that when something is being monitored it tends to stimulate that which is being monitored. It was these facts that were the primary motivation for the Open Access Barometer – a pilot project funded by DEFF in 2013-2014. Firstly we simply didn’t know how much of the research coming out of Denmark were Open Access. Secondly we wanted to stimulate the growth of Open Access. The Danish Open Access Barometer project published a mapping of Open Access to Danish research articles and produced a prototype of a web-based Open Access barometer that through data harvest from all Danish universities could monitor the current state of Open Access (gold, green) daily and produce a number of interesting statistics including an Open Access-potential based on SHERPA/RoMEO data. In conclusion the project made a number of recommendations to monitoring Open Access and it was the hope that policy makers working with Open Access implementation would take up the idea of measuring Open Access – but we did not expect it.
However, in June 2014 the Danish Minister of Higher Education and Science announced the Danish strategy for Open Access – with two remarkable goals of 80% Open Access in 2017 to publications published in 2016 and topping this by 2022 where the goal is that all (100%) publications published in 2021 should be Open Access. In order to achieve these ambitious goals a high-profile steering committee was put together. One of the key focus areas are: “The implementation of Open Access is to be monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that all parties make a maximum effort to develop and disseminate free accessibility to Danish research findings”. To specify and ultimately measure Open Access a working group was set-up – that in its mandate was to build on the outcomes and experiences of the former DEFF project The Danish Open Access Barometer. By January 2015 this group produced a specification, price estimate and production plan for this Open Access monitor. The name was changed to Open Access indicator and will measure Open Access to Danish research from January 2016.
The presenter of this contribution was project manager of the Danish Open Access Barometer and member of the Open Access indicator working group set-up by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science. Based on the Mikael K. Elbæk’s experience from this work the presentation will take you through:
• Definitions – what to measures, when to measure - an imperfect compromise
• Analysis and visualization – what kinds of statistics was decided to make public

Going for Gold and Greener Pastures: Open Access Explained
Presentation by Lisa Kruesi, Helen Morgan and Andrew Heath from The University of Queensland Scholarly Publishing and Digititisation Service for Open Access Week, October 2012.
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.

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.
Predatory publishing: what it is and how to avoid itUQSCADS
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 rigor or credibility.
This presentation provides researchers with
an insight into predatory behaviors and and how they can avoid them.
Open Knowledge and the Benefits for University-based ResearchUQSCADS
This presentation was a part of the 2014 Open Access Week Seminars at The University of Queensland Library. Anna Gerber, Technical Project Manager ITEE eResearch Lab at The University of Queensland, shares her insights into the benefits of open data, open access, open source and open learning in the context of university-based research. Anna highlighted the possibilities for the formation of new collaborations with researchers and policy makers and the innovation that can result from making research more discoverable in an online environment. Anna also introduced the audience to the Open Knowledge Foundation (of which she is an Australian Ambassador), a community initiative that seeks to bring together open knowledge groups from across Australia, in an effort to foster the sharing of data, information and knowledge.
Open Access, Intellectual Property and Conservation ScienceUQSCADS
This presentation was a part of The University of Queensland Library's Open Access Week 2014 program. Professor High Possingham spoke of his efforts to make research discoverable and accessible so that it could inform environmental and conservation policy and the fundamental belief that research that is funded by the people should be accessible by the people. As a researcher, policy maker, author of journal articles and monographs, journal editor, reviewer, and software developer, Professor Possingham was able to share his insight into the various ways he has shared his research with colleagues, governments and the general public.
In which journal should I publish my paper? What is an impact factor? How can I promote my research? Can I publish my thesis? What is peer review? This presentation provides an insight into publishing for the Research Higher Degree student or any undergraduate student who wants to publish their research.
Open Access and PLOS: The Future of Scholarly Publishing - Dr. Virginia BarbourUQSCADS
In this presentation, Dr. Barbour discussed the emergence of open access from traditional publishing models, the current open access landscape where PLoS journals have foreshadowed the development of megajournals as well as predicting future developments.
In defining the Open Access Publishing model, Dr. Barbour emphasized the crucial role creative commons licences play in ensuring that research is not only available free to view online, but is able to be re-used.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

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.

3. Open Access (OA) Definition
• OA literature is digital, free of most copyright and licensing
restrictions
• Focus on peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles via Internet
• There are two different ways of obtaining open accessibility to
scientific research results: Green and Gold.
• OA is also increasingly being provided to data, books and book
chapters, conference papers, theses, working papers and
preprints.
• Open content is similar to OA, but may include the right to modify
the work
• While open access relies on the consent of copyright holders to
share their work, making material open access will not deprive
copyright holders of any rights. Copyright laws still apply.

16. Where to publish
Identifying publishing opportunities
• Decide early (before drafting the paper). Look for a journal and then
write the paper
• Look for journals that have published in your discipline area
• Consider journals that have published work you cite
• Audience – who will read your article?
• Prestige – does the journal appear on the ERA journal listings?
• Predatory Publishers List
• Checklist for evaluation
• Access – will you publish in an open access journal?
• Impact – refers to how often a journal’s content is cited by other
authors, thereby giving an indication of the influence of a publication.
• Likelihood of acceptance – top tier v’s less prestigious journals
• Does it cost to publish in the journal?
• More details: Where to Publish Your Journal Article and the

• The Wellcome Trust has teamed up with the Max Planck
Society in Germany and the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute in the US to set up a new open-access journal called
eLife.
• According to the new editor: the journal will take on the very
top end of the scientific publishing industry, as a visible high-
profile competitor to Nature and Science“
• PLOS Medicine is number five in the top Medicine, General &
Internal – JCRWeb, 2011 – Impact Factor 16.3
• More details: Open Access
18. Addendum
• All OA journals and 70% non-OA journal allow
authors to self archive their peer reviewed
post prints - for the remaining journals an
authors addendum can be used to vary the
terms of a publication agreement

– The Australian Government makes a major investment in research to
support its essential role in improving the wellbeing of our society. To
maximise the benefits from research, publications resulting from
research activities must be disseminated as broadly as possible to
allow access by other researchers and the wider community. NHMRC
acknowledges that researchers take into account a wide range of
factors in deciding on the best outlets for publications arising from their
research.

34. Development of OA Research Data
Open Data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone
to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents
or other mechanisms of control.
The concept of open access to scientific data was institutionally established
with the formation of the World Data Centre system in 1957-1958.
World Data Centres were established by the International Council for Science to
minimize the risk of data loss and to maximize data accessibility.
While the open-science-data movement long predates the Internet, the
availability of fast, ubiquitous networking has significantly changed the context,
since publishing and obtaining data has become much less expensive and
time-consuming.

35. Why make research data OA?
The Denton Declaration, An Open Data Manifesto
• Open access to research data is critical for advancing science,
scholarship, and society.
• Research data, when repurposed, has an accretive value.
• Publicly funded research should be publicly available for public good.
• Transparency in research is essential to sustain the public trust.
• The validation of research data by the peer community is an essential
function of the responsible conduct of research.
• Managing research data is the responsibility of a broad community of

36. Why make research data OA?
Benefits to researchers -
• Increase how visible your research is
• Preserve your data
• Meet funding requirements
• Stop duplication of effort
• Further the advance of science
• Support Open Access
• Data sharing has the potential to increase citations of your work. The authors
of one study1 established that publicly available data was associated with a
69% increase in citations, independent of journal impact factor, date of
publication, and author country of origin.

37. OA research data
Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of
Research
“Policies are required that address the ownership of research materials and data, their
storage, their retention beyond the end of the project, and appropriate access to them by
the research community.”
Funding bodies
The NHMRC revised policy for the dissemination of research findings came into effect
on 1 July 2012. The NHMRC requires that any publications arising from an NHMRC
supported research project must be deposited into an open access institutional
repository within a twelve month period from the date of publication.
Journal requirements
Publishing in a Nature journal?
“… authors are required to make materials, data and associated protocols promptly
available to readers.”
Nature Publishing Group
39. Open Data
From a Nature News special on Data Sharing:
“Research cannot flourish if data are not preserved
and made accessible. All concerned must act
accordingly.”
“Data management should be woven into every
course in science, as one of the foundations of
knowledge.”

40. Present situation
• Taxpayers’ fund research
• New knowledge not available to all
• Researchers do the intellectual work – writing & peer
review
• Publishers make huge profits
• Established journals, often have prestige (high impact
factor)
• Small number of dominant publishers
• Evidence OA results in increased impact
• Significant increase in OA journals
• Mandates & policy developments

42. Inescapable conclusions
• Argued an open access publishing system would be
less costly than the current system, less time-
consuming and cumbersome for users, since
complicated authentication systems can go and
users could be assured a full-text copy of whatever
research they need.
• Open access would not only guarantee access to
current scholarship, but would also safeguard the long
term archiving of the existing body of scholarly research
literature.
43. The Future
It is predicted that Gold OA will account
for 50 percent of the scholarly journal
articles sometime between 2017 and
2021, and 90 percent of articles as soon
as 2020 and more conservatively by
2025.
