Retention Modeling for the Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST)Anna Perricci
How do you get 40 diverse libraries to agree on a model for shared print retention in 8 weeks? This lively overview demonstrates the process of forming and refining such a model for retention of monographs, using collection analysis and visualization software (GreenGlass). The Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST) is a partnership of 48 academic libraries, 40 of which are committing to retain titles on behalf of all EAST members for a minimum of 15 years. EAST seeks to maintain access to the scholarly record through sustained cooperation between partner libraries.
Hear how the project team worked with partner libraries, the vendor for collection analysis software (Sustainable Collection Services), working group members and EAST governance to refine and adopt a model for retaining over 6 million scholarly monographs. The key elements of the final model are covered as well major lessons learned.

"Research data management: where are we now?" Jenni Crossley, DARTS4ARLGSW
In January 2013, the research librarians at UWE hosted a workshop focussing on the skills that librarians need to develop in order to support researchers in research data management. As part of this day, participants undertook a brief maturity modelling exercise which looked at their library services state of readiness to support RDM, and where they would like to be in 3 years’ time. This talk looks at progress made to date by those services, and includes an opportunity for the audience to undertake an as-is exercise. There will also be a brief overview of UWE’s own progress in implementing RDM support.

Sthlm Uni Press Presentation @ LPC in Portland, OR, USA in March 2015Sofie Wennström
Stockholm University Press, founded by Stockholm University in 2013, is publishing its first books in early 2015. As a new player in the arena of scholarly communication the competition is hard. New presses today are born in a unique context with demand for full Open Access to research results and data, whereby there is added value to be generated to the benefit of the researchers and the University.
In this session we aim to address the possibilities and benefits inherent in the relationship between researchers and libraries in relation to future scholarly publishing and dissemination of research findings. The session will start off with analyst Sofie Wennström talking about the current state of affairs and practices at Stockholm University Press, pointing out its challenges and opportunities, especially in terms of the quality assessment process through peer-review and press management. This will be followed by a talk by Dr Thomas Neidenmark on how Stockholm University Press is working with the value of the publications and how the library and the university can turn publication data into meaningful tools for evaluation. Brian Hole will close the session with a note on how collaboration between university presses can further grow the credibility of and add quality to the peer review process. The short talks will be intertwined by interactive sessions where brief discussions in small groups in order to share ideas and experiences, also to be shared with the larger group at the end of each breakout session. The aim is to encourage the exchange of opportunities and challenges, addressing and creating take-away messages for all participants. These results will be documented in an article summarizing the session and the shared experiences.

Essential skills in health research and scientific writingDr Ghaiath Hussein
This presentation is of the training on "Essential Skills in Health Research and Scientific Writing" that was help in Soba Teaching Hospital in Khartoum, in collaboration with the Sudanese American Medical Association (SAMA).
It was a 4 days training given on a rate of one session per week. It was almost all skills-based hands-on training.
Day 1: The theoretical part was an Introduction to the Knowledge Management Cycle and where research fits in this model. The practical part was how to conduct an online review of literature
Day 2: The theoretical part was about the responsible conduct of research, and scientific misconduct, with focus on plagiarism. The practical part included the installation and the use of Reference Manager, including how to import the references found in the LR (given in session 1) in a database in the Reference Manager software.
Day 3: The theoretical part covered the basics of scientific writing in English. The practical part included writing, and re-writing some pieces, using the provided phrasebanks and verbs 'cheat-sheets'.
Day 4 was on the writing for publication, including detailed description of the peer-review publication model and how it works. We also touched very briefly, due to time constraints, to an overview and two examples of ethical issues in research. The practical part included writing an effective cover Letter to the editor, choosing proper manuscript title, and writing an informed consent.

User-driven scholarly communications - The Stockholm University Library exampleSofie Wennström
Stockholm University Press (SUP) has implemented a working model for the development of their services where exchange of ideas and best practices between the press staff and the researchers is driving development. This is done through strategic partnerships nationally and internationally, as well as with the active researchers at the university. SUP aim to build a sustainable model for publication of peer-reviewed books and journals by optimising our involvement in these networks and by sharing knowledge and information openly. The success of scholarly communication relies on indexing and dissemination. The dissemination channels created need to be in place from the very beginning of the development of a new press. However, most indexes require that you already have content to show in order to add their quality stamp to the press. How do we deal with this catch 22?
Stockholm University Press was founded in 2014, and published its first Open Access books in early 2015 with one academic journal is already up and running. Three more journals will be added to the list in 2016. SUP have implemented editorial practices for transparency and quality assessment, which are necessary in order to create the level of credibility needed to gain trust among dissemination channels. Building the press also include an intrinsic function to evaluate the work with the help of publication data in combination with so-called ‘allmetrics’. The data will then be reused to empower the author by providing tools for analysis of these numbers for the individual as well as the entire university. So, how do we create these incentives, and how do we make them count? How do we make the press and library activities worthwhile for the entire University?
The last quarter of the development loop includes learning tools for researchers at the institution where we can share knowledge about scholarly communication in general, based on the publication metrics we can provide and the lessons learned with the press. This is a work in progress, and something we would like to share with the delegates. The new learning environment is intended to become intrinsic in the publishing process and can drive development of knowledge and technology based on user involvement and input.
This presentation aim to further describe the case of Stockholm University Press, how we plan to move forward in the immediate future, and last but not least show plans for further developments of learning tools and services for researchers. The iterative development processes used are supported by the practices of open access, both to knowledge, data and research results.

Similar to Special unsettling reality of Bibliometrics in practice 2014 (20)
Sinds de publicatie van het “Altmetrics manifesto” door Jason Priem en de zijnen heeft dit onderwerp een grote vlucht genomen. In het huidige bibliometrics landschap krijgt het onderzoek naar andere mogelijkheden om impact van publicaties en onderzoek te meten een prominente plaats. Tegenwoordig willen onderzoekers niet alleen maar beoordeeld worden op basis van Impact Factoren en versterken zij de roep om alternatieve methoden om impact te beoordelen. In het kader van onderzoeksondersteuning kunnen bibliotheken in dit domein een nieuwe en belangrijke rol spelen. In deze sessie worden de ontwikkelingen tegen het licht gehouden en sterke en zwakke punten blootgelegd. Tijdens de workshop wordt ingegaan op de verschillende indicatoren voor het bepalen van de impact van tijdschriften, artikelen, onderzoeksgroepen en onderzoekers. Tools, methoden en het laatste onderzoek komen aan bod.
The starting point of my presentation is that you have carried out the most valuable, relevant and exciting research. This presentation is to point out to you some publishing tips that should be part of your publishing strategy. My goal is to make you think about a publication strategy. Your publication strategy. And assure that your research finds the best possible publication venue and is presented in the most optimal way.

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

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.

Special unsettling reality of Bibliometrics in practice 2014
1. How to deal with the unsettling
realities of bibliometric services in
universities

2. Proposed agenda
• Short introduction
• Statements
• Breaking up in groups
• Plenary discussion > best practices
3. Bibliometric practitioners at
universities are “mangled” between ....
• Research
management
office(r)s
• Deans
• Research directors
• Funding agencies
• Available databases,
tools and software
Researchers,
who just
want to be
evaluated
adequately
What are best practices?
Image credit:calamityreseachlabs.blogspot.com
4. Work out
• Select 4 statements
• Discuss a statement in small groups for 5 minutes
• Confront the conclusions plenary for 5/7 minutes
• Repeat this for statements 2-4
• Draw final conclusions
• The outcomes will be shared on slideshare
(http://slideshare.net/wowter)
6. • Which indicators are required to do a proper
analysis?
• H-index is a bad idea, but you still end up
helping to calculate the h-index
• What is the role of the bibliometric unit:
giving advice or providing the services?
• When you have to choose, how do you decide
between Scopus/SciVal or WoS/InCites? Who’s
involved?
7. Some statements: what do we think?
1. Librarians are predestined for providing central services
tailored for scientists, research managers and science
policy makers, including bibliometrics. Gumpenberger et al. doi: 10.1108/01435121211217199
2. Academic libraries could educate faculty and staff,
especially research managers, in the basics of bibliometrics
3. Librarians should be present when commercial data
providers, like Elsevier (sciVal) and Thomson Reuters
(InCites) visit research management office(r)s of
universities.
4. Decisions on the acquirement of a research analytics suits
has serious repercussions for the selection of A&I
databases in universities
8. 1. What is the minimum set of
indicators we should use?
% in top 1 articles
Normalized citation rate
> We are asked to provide indicators, we don’t set the minimum set of
indicators.
Depends on field, for example law – top %, citation data doesn’t make sense
– output
Problem with access to databases, online versions don’t allow to do
advanced calculations
Needed: clean academic bibliography
Minimum set should have these types: Productivity, impact, applied indicator
(depending on the field), social impact
Context, benchmarks, normalized
It depends: objectives, questions, type of analysis
Evaluation – more problematic
Managers ask for a certain analysis, you have to perform it
Important to have good ‘rules’ for bibliometric services
9. 2. What is the best place for a
bibliometric service in a university?
• Both in the library and policy office
• Library can be disconnected from the research processes > preferably in
the policy office
• ‘start from scratch: the library ‘brave new world’
• Neutral place
• Also libraries have their own goals
• In libraries there are not just librarians working
• National differences in the status of librarians Support staff or part of
faculty? Certain autonomy, not ‘slaves’.
• It doesn’t matter where it is based, but it should be an autonomous
department/position
• Wageningen: library and research office. Close cooperation is essential,
also with the researchers being evaluated.
• Use the expertise of CWTS and apply that in your own institution
• Is own research necessary?
