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

Beyond the scientific article making your research social bec-a writing work...Simone Staiger-Rivas
This presentation was given as part of a seminar on the topic at the BecA 'technical/research paper writing' workshop, held in ILRI Addis campus, 15-18 November 2010. We also got the participants to try writing blog posts.
As a result of the advent of internet technologies supporting participation on the internet via blogs, wikis and other social networking approaches, chemists now have an opportunity to contribute to the growing chemistry content on the web. As scientists an important skill to develop is the ability to succinctly report in a published format the details of scientific experimentation. The Royal Society of Chemistry provides a number of online systems to share chemistry data, the most well known of these being the ChemSpider database. In parallel the ChemSpider SyntheticPages (CSSP) platform is an online publishing platform for scientists, and especially students, to publish the details of chemical syntheses that they have performed. Using the rich capabilities of internet platforms, including the ability to display interactive spectral data and movies, CSSP is an ideal environment for students to publish their work, especially syntheses that might not support mainstream publication.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
