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.
"Open Access: recalibrating the relationships" Neil Jacobs, DARTS4ARLGSW
Neil will focus on the lessons from the Jisc-APC pilot, and how the workflows around all forms of OA are changing the roles and responsibilities of information professionals within and beyond the HEI. There are new drivers (eg the HEFCE REF OA policy), new points of contact / transaction (eg Gold OA payments of various kinds), and new opportunities (eg to populate repositories). The talk will explore the workflows that are emerging as effective in addressing these changes, and their implications for all concerned.
"Designing practitioner research for impact" Miggie Pickton, DARTS4ARLGSW
Miggie will highlight the growing importance of impact in research generally including impact case studies in the REF, funders’ demands for impact statements in research proposals, and employers requiring impact on service. This section will make a link between librarians supporting researchers and doing (and using) research themselves. This will lead on to looking at opportunities for making an impact in practitioner research.
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.

A3 - Research an Independent
Objective:
To
gain
experience
evaluating
a
book
publisher
and
determining
if
your
work
is
a
proper
fit.
Introduction:
The
assignment
is
to
research
an
INDEPENDENT
book
publisher
and
report
what
you
learn
to
me
and
share
it
with
the
class
(on
a
discussion
board).
This
assignment
will
help
you
determine
what
type
of
information
to
look
for
when
evaluating
a
potential
company
to
work
with
and
expose
you
to
what
Independents
have
to
offer.
By
sharing
your
report
with
the
class
(on
a
discussion
board)
you
will
help
us
all
gain
knowledge
about
several
different
Independent
companies.
Between the Big Five book publishers and simply publishing a book yourself (self-
publishing) are The Independents.
The
terms
"
independent,"
"indie
publisher,"
and
"small
press"
are
often
defined
as
producers
that
are
not
part
of
large
conglomerates
or
multinational
corporations.
And
there
is
a
range
of
independents.
The
bigger,
more
distinguished
independents
are
long
established
and
have
solid
reputations.
The
mid-‐sized
independents
have
some
solid
successes,
but
are
still
building
their
reputations.
The
smaller
independents
are
just
starting
up.
Many
Independents
rely
on
specialization
in
certain
industry
niches.
Step One: Choose an Independent Book Publisher
You
may
find
an
Independent
on
your
own
or
choose
one
from
the
lists
below.
If
you
find
one
on
your
own,
make
sure
it
is
an
INDEPENDENT
company
and
not
a
subsidiary
owned
by
one
of
the
major
industry
companies.
The
big
question
you
are
trying
to
answer
with
this
is:
Is
this
company
a
good
fit
for
you
and
your
work?
Not
only
would
they
be
interested
in
what
you
write,
but
also,
would
you
want
them
to
handle
your
work?

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

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.
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.

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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. Agenda
• Introduction to Gold OA publishing market
• Background to questionable OA publishing
• Main results of my ealier research on questionable
OA publishing
• Reflections upon this issue
6. •Jeffrey Beall coined the term “predatory publishers”
•John Bohannon's experiment
• Definition:
“The sort of OA publishers and journals who only aims to
collect article processing charges (APCs), but they lack
RIGOROUS peer review and PROPER marketing practices”
8. •Two major characteristics:
•Inappropriate marketing practices
•Spam emails
•Journal titles with “International”, “American” or “European”
•Fake impact factors
•Advertise a very short publishing time
•Advertise a relative low publication fees
•No or little quality control of contents
•Low-standard peer review process or even don’t have peer
review at all
•Other typical characteristics
10. •Earlier research about questionable OA publishing have so far
mainly concentrated on exposing lacking peer review and
scandals involving publishers and journals.
•There is a lack of serious studies about several aspects of this
phenomenon, including extent and regional effects.
•The aim of our study is to provide a comprehensive
understanding of questionable publishers and/or journals in
terms of
•distribution of publishers and authors acorss regions
•the number of journals
•the number of articles published over the past five years
•APC costs
•publication time
20. •60.3% - Asia (34.7%
from India)
•2.3% - South America
•16.4% - Africa
21. • To conclude, between 2010 and 2014, there was a
dramatic rise in the number of questionable OA journals
and articles published by them with exceptional low APCs
of 300 USD per journal and a short publishing time
between 2-3 months.
• The problem of questionable OA publishing is highly
limited and regional to a few developing countries, where
‘international publication’ is a prerequisite for academic
appointment, more funding, or promotion.
23. •Questionable OA publishers and/or journals has (1) caused
negative publicity to OA publishing in general (‘pay to
publish’) and (2) posed a danger to the landscape of
Science (‘production of low-quality research’)
•What can we do to combat the fast growth of
questionable OA publishing market?
•It's critical to (1) every stakeholder need to play a role (2)
call for collaborative efforts from various key stakeholders
to find the effective solutions.
