an introduction to social media and researchRichard Hall
This document discusses the potential uses of social media and networking technologies for research purposes. It notes that while researchers are sometimes cautious about using these tools, social media can support networking, feedback, and serendipitous discoveries. The document examines some examples of how social media is being used for networking, testing ideas, sharing research outputs, visualizing data, collaborative projects, and critiquing public policy. It raises questions about how researchers can best utilize their networks and social connections to support data collection, research management, and networking while considering issues of reliability, validity, trust, and ethics.
This document discusses the importance of open science and provides recommendations for making research more open, reproducible and accessible. It notes that reproducible research remains a challenge, and that open science has benefits like improving citations, driving further studies, and ensuring ethical and proper use of funds. It recommends using open source software and licenses, uploading datasets and materials to sites like Zenodo for free DOIs, publishing preprints on arXiv, and sharing papers on ResearchGate to promote open access. The overall goal is to make studies fully open through simple and free methods.
This document discusses exposing humanities research data as linked open data to make it more accessible and connectable. It describes the benefits of following linked data principles by putting data online in a standard format, making it addressable through URIs, and linking it to other data. As an example, it outlines how the Reading Experience Database was connected to the web of data, allowing relationships to be represented between experiences, people, documents, and other metadata. Overall, the document argues that representing research as linked data provides opportunities for reuse, linking to other resources, and deriving new insights from the connections between data.
How researchers use of Social Media & Scholarly Collaboration NetworksKeita Bando
Researchers have long shared scholarly articles with colleagues, but the internet has changed scholarly communication. There are now many scholarly collaboration networks (SCNs) that allow researchers to communicate, exchange information, and build online profiles. SCNs such as Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and Mendeley are increasingly popular among researchers for discovering and sharing articles. Sharing articles on SCNs can help advance research and be tracked through altmetrics.

Emerging Information Networks: how they are changing practicetomroper
Few studies have examined how veterinary practitioners seek and use information. Two older studies from the US and UK found that practitioners extensively used journals, books, and consulting other vets but did not heavily utilize libraries or online databases. A more recent small UK study found that digital sources had made little impact, as only 10% were aware of electronic resources. New information technologies like email lists and electronic journals could change how vets access and interact with information. However, more research is needed to understand how veterinary surgeons currently seek and use electronic information in their private practices.

Brian Rosenblum: Roles for Academic Libraries in Supporting Open Scholarship ÚISK FF UK
This document discusses the role of academic libraries in supporting open scholarship. It outlines how libraries can provide access to locally produced scholarship through institutional repositories and digital publishing services. This supports open access, which eliminates barriers to accessing and using research. The document also describes the University of Kansas libraries' initiatives in establishing an institutional repository, publishing platform, and advocacy for open scholarship and its new open access policy. It argues that libraries are well positioned to support open scholarship through their expertise in disseminating information.
Science 2.0 refers to utilizing open web technologies like wikis and blogs to advance science in a more transparent, collaborative way. While some argue this could corporatize and exclude the public from science, others believe open sharing of information and ideas could make science a more widely participated experience again. Open source approaches are decentralized and allow anyone to share and collaborate, motivated more by collaboration than money. If scientists embrace transparency and crowd-sourcing, rates of discovery could increase through collaboration instead of competition. Current examples show open science models can successfully make the scientific process more open and transparent.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.

communicate, collaborate and
promote openness of research
practices and data
4. They’re not building new sites or
online applications, but are
appropriating already-existing
technologies.
5. The online tools they use enable
them to practice open science – the
ability to publish data and
communicate with broad audiences
are key.

Enlightenment project, and others.
25. Why use these technologies?
- Fast
- Networked
- Informal
- Open
- Global
26. Conclusions
Scientists are working online, appropriating
existing tools for their specific needs, and
finding and joining ad-hoc networks to share
data and knowledge.
What might this mean for librarians?
- Be flexible too – there is proof that these
free solutions are working, so no need for
big infrastructure investments
- Find these networks and join them to find
out what’s going on – to be part of it you
need to participate
