Being an Open Scholar in a Connected WorldStian Håklev
This document discusses the benefits of open scholarship in a connected world. It argues that open access to research articles makes information more accessible to broader audiences, including the general public and students. When data and research notes are openly shared online, it can enable unexpected reuse and collaboration. However, the current academic publishing and reward systems may not fully incentivize open scholarship. The document calls for exploring new models of peer review, metrics of impact, and ways of publishing research to make the scholarly process more transparent and collaborative.
COVID-19 and Changing Paradigm in Scholarly communication Vasantha Raju N
The document discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted scholarly communications. It notes that researchers are publishing preprints to disseminate their research on COVID-19 quickly. This has led traditional publishers to speed up peer review and make more literature open access. It also discusses how preprint servers are benefiting research by allowing quick sharing of findings and how preprints differ from traditional publications. Finally, it explores how scholarly communications may evolve in the future with more open peer review systems and use of altmetrics and AI.
063-RAND- A Framework to monito Open Science trends in the EUinnovationoecd
This document outlines a framework to monitor trends in open science in the European Union. It defines open science as involving increased transparency, collaboration, communication and participation in research. It describes how the monitor will track open science using indicators aligned with three core characteristics: open access, open research data, and communication activities. The monitor aims to provide information on open science trends, drivers, impacts and barriers to support European research policymaking.
This document discusses measuring societal impact of research. It defines societal impact as social, environmental, cultural or economic benefits from academic activities. Measuring societal impact is challenging due to the attribution problem. The UK Research Excellence Framework assesses societal impact through impact case studies that describe impact in different areas. Altmetrics are proposed as a potential way to measure broader impacts, though they may better reflect scientific rather than societal impact. A case study using multidimensional analysis of research groups at the University of Granada found some groups with profiles oriented toward teaching dissemination, media impact, and knowledge transfer as indicators of societal impact.
Can we use altmetric at institutional level?Torres Salinas
This paper aims at exploring the coverage of the Altmetric.com database and its potential use in order to show universities’ research profiles in relationship with other databases. Specifically, our objectives are the following:
1. Analyse the coverage of Altmetric.com at the institutional level and verify its validity as a data source for obtaining alternative metrics derived from the research activity of universities in comparison with those from the Web of Science. For this, we will work with a small sample of four Spanish universities.
2. Analyse coverage differences when obtainin bibliometric profiles from Altmetric.com and Web of Science. In some studies a higher coverage of the Social Sciences and Humanities has been reported, suggesting the potential of altmetric indicators in these areas (Costas, Zahedi, & Wouters, 2015b).

Lecture workshop 2 am open access and altmetricsThed van Leeuwen
Traditionally, advanced bibliometrics have been the ‘gold standard’ in research evaluations in many fields. Due to changes in communication patterns in various fields, we now see alternative ways of assessing research appearing on the landscape. One of the major developments in scientific communication patterns is the advent of the Openness movement, through which various activities in academic life become more democratic, transparent, and hopefully fairer. This stretches out to publishing and the costs involved, how data are shared, and how peer review is organized, to name some instances in which the issue of Openness is raised. Of a somewhat more recent nature is the way assessment of scholarly activity is organized, in particular with respect to the way the various audiences with whom scholars are communicating are considered. A new way of looking at research assessment is through the recent ‘alternative metrics’ or also referred to as Altmetrics.
As more classical bibliometrics are under pressure, due to international (DORA-Declaration) and national debates and initiatives (SiT) related to the organization of research assessment in various layers of the science system. This stirs a re-focus from science policy towards alternative ways to assess research performance. In this presentation we will show, by a recent example, how careful we have to be in making choices for metrics in order to support research assessment practices as well science policy decision making.
ProQuest provides USC students with online access to thousands of academic journals, newspaper articles, and business reports. It allows users to quickly search and locate relevant resources on topics like social constructions of gender. Users can search ProQuest and limit results to only full text or scholarly/peer-reviewed articles. This database gives feminist scholars and students an easy way to pool information from decades of published work representing diverse perspectives on issues related to women and gender studies.
Presented at the University of Canterbury Gradfest, "Where to publish" is a short presentation designed to help new postgraduate students think about new and non-traditional modes of publishing, such as Institutional and disciplinary repositories, the difference between gold and green Open Access, and other ways to make research more visible.
This document discusses sampling methods for research. It defines a sampling frame as the set of elements from which a sample is selected, and notes that this differs from the total population. The document outlines probability sampling methods like simple random sampling, systematic random sampling, and stratified random sampling. Stratified random sampling involves dividing the population into important subgroups and taking samples from each stratum to ensure appropriate representation.

presented at the Geneva Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI9), Geneva, June 18, 2015
Science is in transition. If all goes well, the transition is towards more open, efficient and honest/reproducible practices. Libraries should move with this change by supporting open science instead of just open access. Building on their successful project "101 innovations in scholarly communication" Jeroen Bosman and Bianca Kramer present their interpretations of what is going on and can be expected in the six phases of the research cycle. They have tested their hypothetical workflows and show how real, day-to-day research workflows are changing from traditional to modern, innovative and experimental. These changes are reflected in tools and sites people use in various phases of that workflow. They might for example change from Web of Science → SPSS → Word+Endnote → Nature → ResearcherID → Impact Factors to Sparrho → ROpenScience+IPythonNotebooks → WriteLateX+Docear → The Winnower → Kudos → Publons+PubPeer. The way new generations of researchers work affects how information will be discovered, re-used, created, shared, communicated and assessed. There are huge opportunities for libraries and other stakeholders to contribute and work with the research community, but only if they are well prepared!
The document discusses open access (OA) in scholarly publishing. It notes the current publishing crisis where publishers get free content from publicly funded research while restricting access. OA aims to make research freely and permanently available online. There are two main routes to OA - green OA using institutional repositories, and gold OA through OA journals. ECU supports green OA through its Research Online repository. New requirements from the NHMRC will mandate depositing publications in OA repositories within 12 months. The document provides an overview of key issues around OA including copyright and benefits for authors, libraries and scholars.

This document discusses changing research workflows and the need to transition from open access to open science. It presents several models of the research workflow as multi-cyclic and multi-ordered, with loops for activities like grant writing, experimentation, and publishing. The document outlines three goals for science: being good, efficient, and open. It then analyzes survey data on tools researchers use at different stages of the workflow and how they align with open science principles. The findings suggest a shift towards more open tools and formats.
This presentation is about Scholarly Communications and how it works, what are ways through one can identify right journals for publications and also briefly discusses preprints as an alternative publications space for making the research more open and visible.
This document discusses bibliometrics, which is the quantitative analysis of academic publications and their impact. It defines bibliometrics and explains that bibliometric measures are used to evaluate the impact and spread of research information. Common impact measures discussed include the journal impact factor, which measures the average number of citations to papers in a journal, and the H-index, which measures both the productivity and impact of a researcher's body of work. The document also outlines bibliometric services and databases that can be used to perform bibliometric analysis, such as Web of Knowledge, Journal Citation Reports, and Scopus.
The needs of researchers in key disciplines are changing rapidly and this has important implications for the library’s role in enhancing research productivity and impact.
Librarians can build a roadmap for supporting 21st Century research needs that draws on both published research sources and institution-specific user research. Several key trends from recent studies and ideas for institution-specific user research tools are highlighted within.

This document discusses developing a network approach for evaluating the societal impact of social sciences and humanities research. It proposes mapping researchers' social media interactions to identify productive relationships between academics and non-academics. The document presents analysis of two researchers' Twitter networks, finding connections to both local and global contacts. It argues that mapping social engagement is a first step toward understanding societal impact, which is difficult to directly measure. Further analysis of additional data sources could help cross-validate these networks and characterize different levels of interaction.

This document discusses the need to standardize how open access repositories measure usage statistics to account for non-human traffic such as web robots. It proposes that a COUNTER working group develop adaptive filtering systems that repositories can follow to identify and filter robot activity from usage data in a consistent manner. The working group analyzed usage data from various sources and tested existing and proposed filtering methods to balance accuracy in detecting robots with practical implementation. Their work resulted in new robot filtering standards included in the COUNTER Code of Practice Release 5, 2017 to allow more accurate cross-platform comparison of open access resource usage.
Responsible journals: Making reading, evaluation and publishing openLudo Waltman
This document outlines steps journals can take to become more open and responsible. It discusses:
1) Flipping journals to open access by adopting fair open access principles and transparent article processing charges.
2) Making peer review more open through pilots of open peer review at various journals.
3) Potential future directions including decoupling publishing services, increasing use of preprint repositories, and considering if journals themselves will continue to exist or publishing will be handled through separate services and platforms.
SSH & the City. From measuring societal impact to mapping social engagementNicolas Robinson-Garcia
This document discusses limitations with current research evaluation schemes and proposes alternative approaches for assessing the societal impact and social engagement of research, especially in the social sciences and humanities. It argues that bibliometric indicators do not adequately capture impact in these fields and that social media data could provide insights into researchers' social networks and spheres of engagement. The document outlines a framework for mapping social engagement by analyzing researchers' interactions on different social media platforms and with various sectors, while acknowledging limitations of this approach. It emphasizes understanding researchers' profiles before assessment and using mapping as a first step alongside qualitative methods.
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 57 representatives from 33 journalism schools across 20 countries regarding research in journalism education. It finds that the most common topics of research are journalism as a profession (64%) and professional competences (64%). Educational programs and curriculum design are also popular topics. The most common research methods are surveys, interviews, and content analysis. While most results are implemented in teaching, some respondents reported low impact. The document identifies countries like Finland and the Netherlands as leaders in journalism education research and publication. It concludes by discussing opportunities for new areas of research focus.
This document discusses open access in Europe, highlighting current gaps and challenges. It notes that while there is broad participation in open access through institutional repositories and open access journals, uptake of repositories remains low without incentives. Authors also often sign away their copyright to publishers of prestigious journals. The system remains difficult to change as long as funders prioritize high impact factor journals. SPARC Europe promotes alternative models of quality evaluation and open access publishing to help drive change. Open access also provides opportunities for public and national libraries to increase readership among citizens, though digital and scientific literacy must be improved.
This document outlines a project to evaluate opening up educational resources in the social sciences. The project involves six universities in the UK and will explore challenges of sharing teaching materials, develop frameworks for reuse and repurposing resources, and address intellectual property rights and licensing issues when depositing open materials online through JORUM Open and other platforms. The goal is to shift tacit understandings in teaching materials to more explicit open resources that can be customized and adapted by others.
This document provides an overview of open science, including definitions, motivations, and plans for implementation. It discusses:
1) Definitions of open science from various organizations and perspectives.
2) Motivations for open science, including addressing anomalies in the current scientific publishing system and enabling science to better serve societal needs.
3) National and international plans and roadmaps to transition to open science, focusing on open access, open data, incentives, and skills/training.

The document summarizes information presented at an ETH Zurich event on trends in scholarly publishing. It discusses resources held by the ETH library, rising journal prices, usage statistics, open access models, mandates and copyright issues. Open access refers to literature that is digital, online and free of charge. It allows users to download, copy, distribute and print articles. The "green road" involves self-archiving articles in repositories, while the "gold road" refers to publishing in open access journals which may charge article processing fees.
It’s publishing but not as you know it: How Open is Changing EverythingDanny Kingsley
This is a talk given as part of Open Access Week 2021 (#OAWeek2021) at Flinders University.
Abstract: Despite the seismic shifts of the last couple of decades with the introduction of the internet, scholarly publishing has remained basically unchanged. The Mertonian norms were established in 1942 when science was ‘under attack’, and today science is once more being questioned. It is time to return to our base principles. The open agenda offers a path not only to reproducibility and increased trust in research, but also addresses questions related to research culture, allowing a more diverse and inclusive environment.

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
How Publishers Can Thrive in an Open Access MarketplaceMarcus Banks
The document outlines potential scenarios for the future of scholarly publishing and open access. It predicts that immediate open access will become the default for publishing, starting in biosciences. Article processing charges may rise faster than inflation for top journals. Peer review could evolve to be continuous rather than tied to publication. Ideally, the cost of publishing articles would decline as openness and the scholarly process are incentivized. Publishers could provide services assisting researchers in sharing ideas, while funders and societies manage publication and librarians curate online content.
It appears highly probable that immediate open access publishing
will become the default mode for scholarly publishing – for the
biosciences first, other sectors later. ‘Immediate’ open access
means unfettered publication as soon as a scholarly work is
ready, with no embargo period. The costs of making a scholarly
artefact available can be reduced without sacrificing quality. This
interactive session will sketch the argument for these claims and
will present several value-added services that publishers could
develop to thrive in an open access world.
Publication Strategies in the Social and Cultural Sciencesuherb
These slides are part of an online workshop on “Publication Strategies in the Social and Cultural Sciences” held on 13 and 14 July for the Viadrina University of Frankfurt/ Oder.
Publish or perish - Those who do not publish will not make a career. However, finding a suitable publication option has never been as time-consuming as it is today. The scientific publication market is growing and differentiating itself continuously: Open Access, for example, is a familiar way of publishing today, but it is itself differentiated into a number of variants - green, gold, bronze or platinum Open Access. How to keep an oversight? The workshop will give an orientation for the bazaar of scientific publishing and will cover topics such as publication processes, quality assurance, impact measurement and rankings, open access vs. closed access and legal aspects. The workshop enables participants to develop an individual publication strategy and to consciously take advantage of the options and offers of the increasingly differentiated publishing market.
With the progress towards open science, scientific communication is facing a new wave of innovations towards more openness and speed of research publication which will deeply affect the way the peer review function is carried out and the overall role of journals in assuring quality and adding value to manuscripts.
Several initiatives are promoting the generalized adoption of open access preprints as a formal beginning stage of research publication, which has been common since the 90’s in the physics community. And, in the last decade, new ways to carry out the evaluation of manuscripts have emerged either to replace or to improve the traditional methods, which are widely criticized as being slow and expensive in addition to lacking transparency.
Quality nonprofit journals from emerging and developing countries have succeeded to follow the main innovations brought by the Internet. In addition to the technicalities of the digital publishing, there is a wide adoption of Open Access in the international flow of scientific information. The new wave of innovations that affect the peer review function and the changing role of journals pose new challenges to the emerging and developing countries in regard of scientific publishing. The adoption of these innovations is essential for progress of SciELO as a leading open access program to enhance scientific communication.
The scope of this workshop aims at an in-depth analysis and discussion of the state of art and main trends of the peer review function, the modalities of carrying it out as well as of the increasing adoption of mechanisms to speed publication such as preprints and how they affect and potentially renew the role of journals. These recommendations will guide SciELO policies on manuscript evaluation and on the adoption of preprint publications.
This document summarizes Nicholas W. Jankowski's presentation on innovations in scholarly communication and publishing in the digital era. Some of the main changes discussed include the proliferation of web-based, linked, and multimedia publications and data. New models of open access are emerging. Peer review and metrics are adapting to new forms of assessment. Functionality is enhanced through interactive features like hyperlinks, visualizations, and supplementary materials. Scholarly communication is blending formal publication with informal sharing through social media and web platforms. Jankowski proposes a research question on how scholars in different disciplines utilize the various online functionalities in journal articles.
For decades, scientific journals were the only way to communicate new research findings. Up until today, very little has changed in that respect. The overwhelming majority of all scientific journals still functions as they did in the times when there was no Internet, no social networks or crowd-based knowledge platforms. Is this form of dissemination of research findings still suitable in the 21st century?

This chapter introduces the debate around quantitative and qualitative research in the social sciences. Historically, quantitative research using methods like surveys and experiments was seen as the scientific approach, while qualitative methods like participant observation were seen as marginal. However, since the 1960s interest has grown in qualitative research and its associated philosophical issues. This debate intertwines discussions of research methods with broader philosophical questions. The chapter outlines how traditional social research methods textbooks gave more attention to quantitative research but qualitative research is now taken more seriously.
Democratizing Knowledge Through Open Science #pdf2016Fundacja ePaństwo

The document discusses how open science optimizes the impact of research and benefits researchers, industry and citizens. It provides examples of open data repositories and outlines some exceptions when not all data should be openly shared. Finally, it discusses how open scientific knowledge can be achieved through tools like Creative Commons licenses and the differences between gratis and libre open access.
A conceptual model for the annotation of audiovisual heritage in a media stud...Liliana M. Melgar Estrada
See summary here: https://avindhsig.wordpress.com/workshop-2016-krakow/accepted-abstracts/liliana-melgar-jaap-blom-eva-baaren-marijn-koolen-roeland-ordelman/
Open access to research has been shown to accelerate the research cycle and increase citations and usage of articles. In high-energy physics, researchers have openly shared preprints for decades through arXiv, allowing findings to be rapidly built upon. Analysis of arXiv usage shows the time between preprint posting and citation has significantly decreased as open access has increased. Studies also consistently find that open access articles receive more citations, with some seeing a 600% increase, than articles hidden behind paywalls. However, journal impact factors should not be used to evaluate individual researchers or papers, as they measure prestige rather than use or quality.
Being a digital open networked scholar for learning, research and teachingCarina van Rooyen
This document discusses the changing role of scholars in the digital age. It notes that digital networks now enable new forms of academic writing, collaboration, and metrics of scholarly impact. Scholars are exposed to a culture of open sharing beyond traditional academic constraints. The knowledge creation and dissemination process is also changing, with elements like social relations, audiences, and forms of communication evolving at each research stage. Scholarship is becoming more open, interactive, and networked in the digital era.

This document discusses memory, big data, and security information and event management (SIEM). It outlines how a SIEM infrastructure can be modeled after the human brain's memory to gather and analyze large amounts of data. Specifically, it proposes that machines should be adaptive, interactive, iterative and stateful, and contextual to effectively learn from data over time and identify security threats, similar to how the human brain functions. The document also mentions directed graphs and the five V's of big data - volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value.
This document discusses different types and formats of data including unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data. It explains that unstructured data has no formal structure, semi-structured data has some defined tags but not a formal schema, and structured data has a formal schema and relationships defined. The document also covers topics like data encoding, compression, magic numbers, and different data formats like CSV, JSON, XML, and more.
Threat hunters collect internal and external data to establish hypotheses about potential threats. They hunt for information to identify real threats and determine an appropriate response. Open source intelligence includes data from social networks, crowd-sourced sites, wikis, and photographs that can provide information about people, organizations, technologies and more. Tools like Google dorking, the Wayback Machine and Shodan allow searching open webpages and networks for intelligence.
The document discusses converting data into information using NumPy and Pandas Python libraries. It covers topics like arrays and matrices, different data formats, NumPy operations for linear algebra and math, and Pandas for working with labeled data and performing analyses like sorting, filtering, and correlations. The goal is to understand how to structure and analyze data using these Python tools.
The document discusses information security, defense mechanisms, and risks. It outlines concepts like data, information, knowledge and wisdom. It describes kill chain models used to investigate security incidents and defenses that use layers like deterrence, detection, protection, reaction, recovery, and auditing. The document also covers risks, costs, benefits, and harm from physical, economic, psychological and reputational impacts.
This document discusses cybersecurity, intelligence, and the differences between human and machine intelligence. It provides an overview of cybersecurity job roles and frameworks. It also covers types of intelligence including naturalist, musical, logical-mathematical, existential, and inter-personal.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
