Open access swap shop: Sharing what's worked (and what hasn't) supporting open access publishing in medicine and healthcare. Owen Coxall, Bodleian Health Care Libraries, University of Oxford, presented at HLG 2014
The document summarizes an open access swap shop event where attendees discussed their experiences supporting open access publishing at their institutions. Things that have worked well include creating open access websites, email helplines, targeted outreach and training, and institutional open access policies. Challenges include lack of funding, author confusion over payment models, and difficulty incentivizing publication in open access journals over higher impact closed access journals. Next steps discussed include continuing local networking and knowledge sharing efforts to further define library roles in supporting open access implementation.
What is ‘research impact’ in an interconnected world?Danny Kingsley
This talk looks at what researchers need to do to ensure their research is widely disseminated and reaches the largest audience possible. In summary: Publishing a paper is the beginning not the end; Making work open access does not mean it is accessible; Writing in plain language is translating, not dumbing it down; Sharing work involves peer networks and publishing platforms and If you don't take control of your online presence someone/something else will. The presentation was originally given as part of the Cambridge University Alumni Festival on 27 September 2015.

This is a presentation given to the Researcher to Reader conference held in London 15-16 February 2016 (http://r2rconf.com/)
Abstract: Universities are, by their nature, tribal; but the tribes extend beyond disciplinary boundaries, with different administrative areas having their own behavioural norms. Increased expectations for researchers and their institutions to be accountable for their funding poses huge communication challenges, particularly for large devolved institutions. Many of these tribes are now having to work together in ways that they have not before, creating an unprecedented opportunity.
Stop Press: Libraries' Role in the Future of PublishingDanny Kingsley
This was presented to the SLA2016 conference in Philadelphia on 12 June.
ABSTRACT: Libraries are moving from curators of bought content to providing access to research or industry outputs. This activity can range from the relatively informal process of dissemination through a repository to acting as publishers - through the hosting of research journals, bibliographies and newsletters to the provision of editorial services and advice. This 90 minute Master Class will look at different models of publishing in the library environment with several examples of publishing activity in different libraries. The session will start with a strategic overview of the need for libraries to actively engage in the dissemination of information created by their organisations. The discussion will cover the staffing implications including how to recruit and train for the required skills sets. Attendees will work through some of the issues that need to be considered if a library is interested in publishing, including some of the legal implications and the different software and technical platforms available. Ideas will be workshopped about ways to engage the institutional community and encourage uptake of services on offer. The class aims to provide practical information to allow attendees to make decisions about what services are achievable to offer their clients, both from a technical and a staffing perspective. Attendees who are currently publishing are actively encouraged to participate in the discussion.

The Abstract:
"The library community has been almost silent on the issue of text and data mining (T&DM) partly due to concerns about the risk of having institutions ‘cut off’ from subscriptions due to large downloads of research articles for the purpose of mining. This workshop is an intention to identify where the information rests about T&DM - including looking at the details as they appear in Jisc negotiated licenses - consider some case studies and develop together a set of principles that identify the position of research libraries in the on the issue of T&DM.

This is a presentation given to the RLUK 2016 conference held 9-11 March 2016 at the British Library.
Abstract: Before we challenge something it is helpful to understand it. In this talk Danny Kingsley will draw on a debate piece she recently co-authored that argued that open access has been systematically blamed for problems with the scholarly publishing system. This talk argues that amongst librarians, the knowledge of the scholarly communication system is even weaker than within the research community. As a library community we need to increase real understanding of the beast with which we dance. To do so requires a systematic change to the way librarians are educated, their professional development and a shift from managing the academic literature to participating in the generation of it. To not do so risks irrelevance into the future.
So, what's it all about then? Why we share research dataDanny Kingsley
This is the Keynote talk at a Jisc Research Data Network meeting held at Cambridge University on 6 September 2016. The research data network is designed to be a people network offering participants a place to demonstrate practical research data management implementations and to discuss current issues relating to research data in institutions. This keynote discusses two of the most common excuses for not sharing data and then broadens the discussion out to the need for a move to Open Research of which open data is only a small but essential part.
Modern research metrics and new models of evaluation have risen high on the academic agenda in the last few years. In this session two UK institutions who have adopted such metrics across their faculty will share their motivations and experiences of doing so, and explain further how they are integrating these data into existing models of review and analysis.

Academic libraries are increasingly investing in new efforts to support their research and teaching faculty in the activities they care about most. Learn why becoming a publisher can help meet the most fundamental needs of your research community and at the same time can help transform today’s inflationary cost model for serials. We will explore not only why to become a publisher but exactly how to achieve it, step by step, including careful selection of publishing partners, choosing the right platform for manuscript submission and editorial workflow management, one-time processes to launch a new journal, conducting peer reviews, maintaining academic quality, and measuring impact. We’ll also cover the broader range of publishing activities where libraries can have an impact, including open access monographs, general institutional repositories and subject-based author self-archiving repositories. We will close with a review of tools, services, and communities of support to nurture the new library publishing venture.

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.

Advocating Open Access: Before, during and after HEFCENick Sheppard
Since “self-archiving” of research outputs was first mooted in the mid-1990s, initiatives towards “green” Open Access (OA) across the sector have met with generally limited success and coverage in institutional and subject repositories is generally cited at around 20-30%. However, since the Finch report in 2012 combined with OA policies from RCUK, also in 2012, and HEFCE the following year, there is little doubt that a tipping point of awareness has been reached. This session will aim to contextualise the HEFCE policy in the broader history of Open Access and present a case study of a non-research intensive University and how the repository manager has sought to liaise with academic support services in order to facilitate knowledge exchange across the University. - See more at: http://www.cilip.org.uk/events/open-access-advocacy#sthash.9YqReHt0.dpuf

We are now in the 21st year of the Open Access movement and the UK and European policies are really beginning to drive change and innovation. That change is not fast enough for some, and for others - particularly those covered by the policies, or seeking to implement policy - just a little too fast sometimes.

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

• Talking to people!
–Presentations
–Meetings
8. Support for medicine and health care
• Bodleian Health Care Libraries and Radcliffe
Science Library provide services to:
University Medical Sciences Division
Oxford University NHS Trust
9. Open access support for MSD
• In addition to general open access at Oxford:
– Outreach Librarians
– Presentations and meetings
– Special events
10. Open access support for NHS?
• Very low number of enquires so far.
• May increase with changes in requirements
eg. NIHR, funders etc.
11. What’s worked
• OA email helpline
• Talking to people! –
possibly most effective
• Finding a “hook eg.
Saving time, finding
money
• Targeting specific groups and tailoring message
eg Administrator meetings
• Peer support – a network of librarians/info pros
working together
12. What hasn’t
• Emails and posters –
limited effectiveness
• Some events have been
poorly attended eg no
attendees!
• Awareness can still be low despite constant
marketing and trying to raise awareness
13. Swap shop
Attendees discussed in groups support for OA at their institutions,
including things that have and haven’t worked. The groups recorded
their thoughts and are presented on the next slides
14. Swap shop: record of discussion:
what has worked or could work well?
• Royal College example:
“Invite all members to submit lists and add articles, book chapters to library catalogue.
Provide links to full-text if possible.
Catalogued theses and provided links to BL Ethos database”
• “At UWE we’ve created a poster that simplifies creative commons licenses for academics – traffic light
theory for least and most restrictive of the licenses (coded red, amber and green
This will be lodged on website but our open access group is in very early stage. We plan to train library
staff and wonder how we’ll support researchers and academics as we don’t have an open-access or
copyright librarian”
• “adding OA journals to link resolver
institutional repositories and using SharePoint (internal access only)
[Use] open source e.g. DSpace, EPrints to store research outputs”
• “What has worked (University, research environment)
Policy within institute – comes from the top-down
Repository for all research aim
OA improved rating – helped to be advocates for OA
If you can show them the impact of OA on the organisation”
• “Worked well: website, university provides money to help with Open Access”
15. Swap shop: record of discussion:
what has worked or could work well?
• “Authors page [on website] with photo and list of all publications, also stats for who’s looked at them
Librarian runs searches for past publications
Flattery – contact academics to ask for just published articles in order to raise profile of research through
open access
Talking about OA at key meetings/training sessions”
• “institutional policy [to deposit] in repository”
• “could do/doing: writing for publication and/or finding journals for publishing [training sessions]
Problem with scalability – might work well with one [group] but difficult to scale up across the institution”
• “Provide a central one-stop-shop website re open access for everyone, with details of what it is, what it
allows, what journals are OA.
NHS clinicians want to publish in peer-reviewed high impact journals searchable on Medline
HEE national research repository”
• “Guide to open access terminology
List of which publishers participate in open access” “National NHS research repository would be amazing”
• “library giving talks at departmental research meetings.
OA webpages
Someone in the library with OA responsibility
Dept. hired an intern to make all staff publications available in the historical repository – this worked well
REF requirement means all have to be OA – this is a real incentive
OA repository content catalogued in the library catalogue – start working OK”
16. Swap shop: record of discussion:
what has worked or could work well?
• “Figshare OA publishing used by one person”
• “research unit to support open access
APCs managed by library”
• “Enabling subject librarians to be advocates for OA (training, awareness raising, liaison objectives)
OA Library page with related links, flyers )linked from Help for Researchers page)
Getting in early with messages (before they submit research bids)
Linking in with T&D activities for researchers generally in institution
Agenda items at research committees
Push institutional repository (SHURA). Was mandatory for REF returnable authors to have their research
on SHURA.”
• “freebies, wine, food = bribery, helps to get people interested”
• “Repository
Colloquium
Databases of open access research”
• “R&D departments/NHS trust affiliation – conflict of intellectual property”
• “flattery
Pinterest? Links to photos and the articles they’ve written”
• “Central website: what is available, what does the colour mean, who has access, this is about access”
17. Swap shop: record of discussion:
what hasn’t worked well or other barriers?
• “author confused by being asked by a journal for payment as “open access”, no apparent budget
NHS Trust creating a repository of papers written by staff and having problems getting response from
authors/publishers for permissions for pre-print”
• “What hasn’t worked (psychiatric hospital):
Library trying to push OA agenda – needs to be top-down
Including OA in induction training”
• “Barriers to open access – people want to publish in high impact journals, people want their research to
be indexed in Medline/PubMed”
• “random stand at events – hasn’t worked well”
• “barriers – funding/time/software”
• “Help! There’s no money to do the gold option
Problems when the funding runs out so fewer staff to support more work/enquiries.”
• “clinicians peer reviewed high-impact journals that are on PubMed, not OA”
• “ILL – no database of what’s available on OA”
18. What’s next?
• Today’s session has highlighted that library
support for OA is still in it’s early stages
• Librarians and information professionals are
still defining their roles in OA and it’s
implementation/support
• There could be value in repeating a similar
exercise to today’s session in local settings,
building local support networks for library/ino
pros and sharing knowledge.
