Stop Press: Libraries' Role in the Future of PublishingDanny Kingsley
This was presented to the SLA2016 conference in Philadelphia on 12 June.
ABSTRACT: Libraries are moving from curators of bought content to providing access to research or industry outputs. This activity can range from the relatively informal process of dissemination through a repository to acting as publishers - through the hosting of research journals, bibliographies and newsletters to the provision of editorial services and advice. This 90 minute Master Class will look at different models of publishing in the library environment with several examples of publishing activity in different libraries. The session will start with a strategic overview of the need for libraries to actively engage in the dissemination of information created by their organisations. The discussion will cover the staffing implications including how to recruit and train for the required skills sets. Attendees will work through some of the issues that need to be considered if a library is interested in publishing, including some of the legal implications and the different software and technical platforms available. Ideas will be workshopped about ways to engage the institutional community and encourage uptake of services on offer. The class aims to provide practical information to allow attendees to make decisions about what services are achievable to offer their clients, both from a technical and a staffing perspective. Attendees who are currently publishing are actively encouraged to participate in the discussion.
Meeting the Research Data Management Challenge - Rachel Bruce, Kevin Ashley, ...Jisc
Universities and researchers need to be able to manage research data effectively to fulfil research funders requirements and ultimately to contribute to research excellence. UK universities are comparatively well advanced in what is a global challenge, but none the less there needs to be further advances in university policy, technical and support services. This session will share best practice in research data management and information about key tools that can help to develop university solutions; and it will also inform participants about the latest Jisc initiatives to help build university research data services and shared services.
The Centre for Digital Scholarship aims to support academics in the transition to a more interactive academic environment.

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 Abstract:
"The library community has been almost silent on the issue of text and data mining (T&DM) partly due to concerns about the risk of having institutions ‘cut off’ from subscriptions due to large downloads of research articles for the purpose of mining. This workshop is an intention to identify where the information rests about T&DM - including looking at the details as they appear in Jisc negotiated licenses - consider some case studies and develop together a set of principles that identify the position of research libraries in the on the issue of T&DM.

Good resource discovery tools are not simply about making research easier and faster, but about facilitating the creation, preservation and discovery of knowledge by enabling new modes of research, especially across disciplines. In 2014 the University of Oxford began a robust and unique program of activities to improve discovery of and access to its intellectual assets: garden, museum and library collections, open educational resources and research outputs and data. With over 100 libraries, five museums, botanic gardens and an arboretum at the University, Oxford has been working to find world-leading solutions for connecting students and researchers at Oxford (and abroad) with the collections that are available to them. The University also aimed to make its resources more findable by the wider community, to increase engagement with its world-class collections and research. A year-long research study revealed the nuances of why incoming researchers and students struggle to find relevant collections and found that simply providing better search tools across existing metadata will not improve the situation. Therefore, the University has set out to scope entirely new approaches discovery, exploring new tools and approaches to enable students and researchers at Oxford and abroad to understand the scope of collections held by the University and to find them quickly and efficiently. A current project seeks to create an innovative working prototype that balances users’ needs for cognitive maps against wide-ranging types, and robustness, of data.

Data mining or data science is the process of applying computational and algorithmic methods to large datasets.
Text mining is collection of methods used to extract information not from “formalised database records” but from “unstructured textual data”
Much of the Internet’s image-based resources are locked up in silos, with access restricted to bespoke, locally built applications.
By using IIIF we aim:
1. To give scholars an unprecedented level of uniform and rich access to image-based resources hosted around the world.
2. To define a set of common application programming interfaces that support interoperability between image repositories.
3. To develop, cultivate and document shared technologies, such as image servers and web clients, that provide a world-class user experience in viewing, comparing, manipulating and annotating images.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

Editor's Notes
https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/science/graduate-school-of-science/science-phd-day
We will help you discover what’s out there and how researchers can implement Open Science into their daily scientific routines. Together with you, we would like to explore open practices and show the added value that open approaches can generate for you.
“Open Science is encouraged by the European Union and many other political and scientific institutions. However, scientific practice is proving slow to change. We propose, as early career researchers, that it is our task to change scientific research into open scientific research and commit to Open Science principles.”
Open Science is an umbrella term that involves various movements aiming to remove the barriers for sharing any kind of output, resources, methods or tools, at any stage of the research process.
However OS is more than a list of various movements. It is about opening up the research process, opening up your work from the start of your research project to the final conclusions and beyond. This ‘definition’ by the way is a citation of a closed book chapter.
More and more research funders, policy makers and institution require open science or FAIR data.
EU: starting 2020 ‘open access’ and FAIR data are default.
Also journals more and more have a Data Availability Policy (DAP): Authors must make all data publicly available, without restriction, immediately upon publication of the article.” For example PLoS and Nature.
Research Life Cycle Univ. California Irivine https://www.lib.uci.edu/dss
At its core, Open Science aims at: “increasing research quality, boosting collaboration, speeding up the research process, making the assessment of research more transparent, promoting public access to scientific results, as well as introducing more people to academic research”. Open Science Policy Platform Recommendations, 2018, p. 4
Three main areas & pillars on OS (as formulated by the NPOS in the Netherlands) show us how we can make it work.
OS is an international movement. It has consequences for the way we do international research, the worldwide research structure, culture change, cross border funding, our partners, funding, rewards, metrics, job market etc. To make OS a success OS should be supported on an international level by providing new skills, rewarding systems and metrics. Only that will make it possible to go from Science 1.0 to Science 2.0.
In the model Open Access and ciitzen science are now accepted; data management is still very much developing.

If we succeed OS creates new services such as TDM, ...

Transparancy/integrity/quality: “If [OS] becomes a reality, we also envisage a strengthening of the credibility and reproducibility of scientific findings, and a reduction in fraudulent scientific data.” by Farnham et al. Genome Biology 2017 18:221, DOI:10.1186/s13059-017-1351-7

Submit pre-prints of your manuscript to publicly available repositories. Many major journals allow the posting of pre-prints to open repositories, e.g. arxiv.org, prior to submission and peer review.
Post published articles in a public repository (e.g. Pubmed Central). Typically, 6–12 months after publication, most publishers allow the posting of an author’s version of the manuscript to public repositories.
Publish in open access journals where possible. Many subscription-based journals also offer the option to pay an additional charge for open access.
Share data and material. The code, methods, and data to produce findings in your manuscript should be made publicly available in an open repository equipped with credit metrics for data generator, code writer, and data reuser. These metrics should be based upon real and precise utility and should be transparent so that others can derive their own metrics from them.”
In January 2009, Gowers chose to start a social experiment on his blog by choosing an important unsolved mathematical problem and issuing an invitation for other people to help solve it collaboratively in the comments section of his blog. Along with the math problem itself, Gowers asked a question which was included in the title of his blog post, "is massively collaborative mathematics possible? This post led to his creation of the Polymath Project. Source: Wikipedia
Data management involves all issues related to long-term data reusability and interoperability, requires careful planning and thought from the beginning of a research project.What kind of support do you need from your university?
https://101innovations.wordpress.com/outcomes/
“Avoid reinventing the wheel. The first and most fundamental step for researchers looking to change the way research is done in their field is to investigate what has already been done by their colleagues. What are the sharing platforms, available software, and standards? Small steps move you forwards. A good first step for creating an Open Science environment in your workplace is to survey your own team on their own views and hesitations about data sharing, as well as establishing where it lies on their list of priorities. This can open an important dialogue and help identify concrete actions that your team can take to begin to move toward Open Science.”
Farnham et al. Genome Biology 2017 18:221, DOI:10.1186/s13059-017-1351-7
“Sharing data is becoming mandatory for increasing numbers of high-profile journals and funders and offers a citation advantage”. Farnham et al. Genome Biology 2017 18:221, DOI:10.1186/s13059-017-1351-7
Publishing openly is also mandatory and associated with higher citation rates.
“Open practices make it easier to connect with other researchers, facilitating visibility and access to novel data and software resources, and creating opportunities to communicate and contribute to ongoing communal projects”. Farnham et al. Genome Biology 2017 18:221, DOI:10.1186/s13059-017-1351-7
Career opportunities: transferable skills. TDM, data analysis, consultancy.
In the Taverne project we ask authors their pdf if we do not have access (ca. 10%). In about half of the cases the authors themselves also do not have the final publications!
If you apply for a job, especially outside academia, keep in mind that linking may not be enough to provide your new employer access to the content of your paper when it is not open access.
PI are human and machine readible.
DORA can also be signed by individuals
What are Open Science Badges? [https://cos.io/our-services/open-science-badges/ ]
From the websited: “Badges to acknowledge open science practices are incentives for researchers to share data, materials, or to preregister.
Badges signal to the reader that the content has been made available and certify its accessibility in a persistent location.
Badges seem silly. Do they work?
Yes. Implementing these badges dramatically increases the rate of data sharing (Kidwell et al, 2016).”
Join the discussion about the scientist of 2030 [NWO Evolution of revolution (23 May 2019)]
From the website: “Join the discussion about the scientist of 2030. Is it time for a scientific revolution? Society is increasingly critical about the value and function of science. Scientists are heavily dependent on citations and 'impact factors' for recognition of their work, and they feel under huge pressure to perform and publish while at the same time juggling their other academic responsibilities.
But what does the current system actually tell us about their contribution to science or society? Is it time to recognise a new set of competences for the scientists of tomorrow? How would you like to be recognised as a scientist? This will be the subject of discussion on 23 May. If you have a clear idea and vision about these issues, then you should put the conference on 23 May in your diary. Don’t miss it! What to expect Various inspiring speakers will share their vision of the scientist in 2030 and what is needed to achieve this vision. This will be followed by a discussion during which you and the other participants can share your own visions and formulate possible routes to achieve the ‘scientist of 2030’. ZonMw and NWO have organised this conference because we believe it is time to start rethinking how modern scientists are recognised and valued.”
