Presentation by Lisa Norberg from K|N Consultant, during the seminar New Models of Knowledge Dissemination and Open Access in Canada, organised the 17/11/2015 by Érudit and CRKN.
The document summarizes differences and similarities between Bournemouth University (BU) and University College London (UCL) in implementing open access policies and managing their institutional repositories. Both universities use Symplectic Elements to manage publications and have institutional repositories (BURO and UCL Discovery), though they differ in staff support and how open access funding is administered. Key challenges for both include engaging academics, addressing versioning and metadata issues, and enforcing new open access mandates and policies around research assessment.
The main challenges facing universities and authors in moving to OA for journal articles are achieving compliance, managing costs, and realising the benefits of OA. This session will outline Jisc services that help, from submission of an article, through acceptance, to publication and use. It will show how these services build on existing infrastructure, where possible, to provide a solution that, while tailored to UK circumstances, is more widely applicable.
The document discusses the next wave of open expansion and access to information. It notes that while the internet promised greater access, much information remains restricted. Open access aims to make scholarly articles freely available online to all users. However, different stakeholders have pursued different open access strategies, including green vs gold roads. A strategic review found that to achieve true culture change and progress, the open community needs to clearly define goals, consider incentives, and realign rewards and metrics to value open practices. Broader policies from funders and other groups could help accelerate open expansion's impact.
Lessons in Open Access Compliance for Higher Education (LOCH)Repository Fringe
The document discusses the Lessons in Open Access Compliance for Higher Education (LOCH) project which involves the University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University, and St Andrews University. The project aims to help the universities manage open access payments and compliance through tools like PURE, adapting workflows to make open access seamless for academics, and developing case studies, workshops, and reports on their processes. Planned outputs include case studies, webinars, workshops, blog posts, and guidance to help other universities with open access requirements.
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.
Leveraging a Library CMS and Social Media to promote #openaccess (OA) to inst...Nick Sheppard
The confluence of various technologies and Open Access (OA) initiatives make it easy to share research outputs via social media and assess the reach and impact of dissemination. The Library at Leeds Beckett utilises LibGuides as our CMS and supports the institutional research management infrastructure comprising Symplectic Elements and EPrints, and we have developed a dedicated series of LibGuides around selected themes comprising a range of relevant information and including institutional research outputs. For World Diabetes Day, for example, we curated a collection of research outputs and utilised the Elements API to display a date ordered list of citations including, where available, links to author versions, self-archived and openly accessible in EPrints alongside an embedded Twitter feed from @WDD, the Official Twitter account of the campaign from the International Diabetes Federation. The page was disseminated via Twitter from accounts operated by the Library, @BeckettLibrary and @BeckettResearch, including targeted tweets to @WDD and individual academics. With over 4,500 and 1,500 followers respectively these accounts are well subscribed and received several "retweets". The guide, whilst highlighting and strengthening the role of the library as a tool for researchers, was also an advocacy tool to engage academics in OA. This paper will explore the context and technology of this initiative and present data from Twitter analytics and so called "altmetrics" as a means of visualising how research is shared and disseminated online and which are potential indicators of impact beyond the traditional readership of scholarly material, especially in conjunction with OA.
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€
What are the key drivers behind the dramatic growth in library-based publishing? This session explores differences and similarities through three case studies from different countries: Sweden, the UK and the USA. The presenters will describe the forces that are changing the roles of their parent libraries and show how these are also shaping the nature of their publishing programmes. They will also discuss some of the opportunities they see for the future of libraries as publishers and the challenges these new entrants are encountering.
The document discusses two possible futures for open access (OA) publishing - maintaining the status quo or the research community taking more control. Currently, OA is growing but on the terms of large legacy publishers, who lobby against OA mandates and charge high article processing charges (APCs). However, many research initiatives are working to construct an alternative, cooperative OA future that is more global, cost-effective, and unrestricted. The Ubiquity Partner Network (UPN) pulls together various OA initiatives to increase the chances of large-scale disruption away from the legacy publisher model.
The session will start with questions like: why should research funders foster open access? What are the goals of switching to an open, transparent system for scholarly publishing? The German Research Foundation’s (DFG) researcher-oriented perspective on the ‘open’ paradigm and the Dutch Research Foundation’s (NWO) open access requirements will be depicted as national examples. Finally, the session will elaborate on recent international trends and developments regarding the need to better align policies, the attempts to invest already available resources for transitioning towards open access, and the growing awareness that a dedicated infrastructure is needed in order to implement any open access policy.
Jisc and Elsevier have agreed to collaborate on open science initiatives in the UK. This includes:
1) A gold open access prepay scheme where UK institutions pay 10% less for publishing gold open access with Elsevier by prepaying. This supports the transition to open access mandated by UK funders.
2) A draft agreement for the Jisc Router to access Elsevier publication metadata to help UK institutions manage open access requirements set by HEFCE.
3) Working groups have been formed between Jisc and Elsevier representatives to further cooperation on open access publishing, research data, metrics, and research integrity.

Launch of Directory of Open Access Books by Eelco FerwerdaOAbooks
The document discusses the official launch of the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB). Key points:
- DOAB is a discovery service that provides a searchable index and links to peer-reviewed open access monographs from academic publishers.
- It was developed with input from users during a beta period to understand needs like quality control standards and transparency of processes.
- Requirements for inclusion in DOAB are that books must be available under an open access license and subjected to independent external peer review.
- The goals are to increase discoverability of open access books, provide an authoritative list of publishers, support quality assurance, and promote open access book publishing.
The document discusses the proposed solution to build a National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK) to address problems libraries face. It outlines:
1) The need for a new national service to aggregate UK library data to support collection management, ebook management, and digital access.
2) The objectives of the NBK, including enabling data-driven decisions, collection management, improving ebook data and discovery, and supporting innovation.
3) How the NBK would be built by aggregating data from libraries through a large service provider and making this available to services.
4) Related work by Jisc to specify the NBK, select a provider, clarify metadata and the business model, and design
University of Edinburgh Digital Library OJS at St Andrews OA week 2012cgknowles
The document discusses Open Journal Systems (OJS), an open source journal management and publishing system developed by the Public Knowledge Project. It notes that as of June 2012, there were over 14,100 OJS journals worldwide. It then summarizes the University of Edinburgh's journal hosting service, which uses OJS to provide a platform for student and academic journals, offering training, support, and promoting visibility through registration with directories like DOAJ.
Geoffrey Crossick is Director of the AHRC's Cultural Value Project and Distinguished Professor of Humanities in the School of Advanced Study at the University of London.
Geoffrey's presentation will focus on the project that he led for HEFCE (and supported by AHRC and ESRC) on the implications of open access for monographs and other long-form research publications.
Understanding how two University Libraries (Edinburgh and St Andrews) have responded to requests for supporting a journal hosting service for the institution – why, how and future sustainability. We will cover progression of the service and the levels of support we can provide, with examples of the range of journals and flexibility of our approach. We will also describe how it fits in with our Open Access support services.

Presented by Iryna Kuchma at the Regional Workshop Benefits of Open Access for Research Dissemination, Usage, Visibility and Impact – 22 to 23 November 2010, Pretoria (South Africa)
This document summarizes a presentation about open access policies on the national level. It discusses how organizations like EIFL advocate for open access policies from research funders, universities, and governments. It provides examples of funder mandates from organizations like Wellcome Trust and NIH. The document also discusses whether policies should mandate or just encourage open access, whether they should require deposit in repositories, journals, or both, and what materials should be deposited. It highlights open access progress in Africa through organizations and repositories.
The document discusses the Open Access Pilot in the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). It introduces Special Clause 39, which enables a pilot for green open access. The pilot requires researchers to deposit peer-reviewed publications resulting from publicly funded research into an open archive within 6-12 months of publication. It aims to test making these publications openly accessible online to maximize the return on investment in research and development.

Slides on the progress of the FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot delivered at the online OpenAIRE2020 coordination meeting for NOADs in the Nordic Region (Aug 27th, 2015).
1. F1000 Research was awarded a 4-year, 5.8 million euro contract by the European Commission to develop Open Research Europe (ORE), a publishing platform for research funded by the EC.
2. ORE will provide high-quality, rapid peer review and publishing of EC-funded research with no author publication costs. It will operate using open science principles like open peer review, open data, and early sharing of preprints.
3. The platform aims to be transparent in its processes and costs, lead by example in open science, and explore sustainable open access business models to potentially broaden its scope over time. Submissions to ORE will open in December 2020.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
