Introduction to open access and how you can get involvedIryna Kuchma
This document provides an introduction to open access and how individuals can get involved. It discusses how open access provides benefits to researchers, research institutions, and publishers. It provides practical guidance on copyright and submitting articles to journals. It addresses concerns about plagiarism and open access. Finally, it discusses examples of open access activities in different countries and calls for collaboration to promote open access.
A growing number of universities are beginning to require the digital deposit of their thesis and dissertation output in their institutional repositories. At the same time, a growing number of universities as well as research funders are beginning to mandate that all refereed research must be deposited too. This makes for a timely synergy between the practices of the younger and older generation of researchers as the Open Access era unfolds. It also maximizes the uptake, usage and impact of university research input at all stages, as well as providing rich and powerful new metrics to monitor and reward research productivity and impact. It is important to integrate universities' ETD and research output repositories, mandates and metrics as well as to provide the mechanism for those deposits that may need to be made Closed Access rather than Open Access: Repositories need to implement the "email eprint request" Button for all Closed Access Deposits. Any would-be user webwide, having reached the metadata of a Closed Access Deposit can, with one click, request an eprint for research purposes; the author instantly receives an automatic email and can then, again with one click, authorize the automatic emailing of one copy to the user by the repository software. This feature is important for fulfilling immediate research usage needs during any journal-article embargo period, and it also gives the authors of dissertations they hope to publish as books a way to control who has access to the dissertation. Digital dissertations will also benefit from the reference-linking and book-citation metrics that will be provided by harvesters of the distributed institutional repository metadata (which will also include the metadata and reference lists of all university book output). Dissertation downloads as well as eprint-requests will also provide useful new research impact metrics.

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.

The Open Source movement, of which Linux is a shining example, is a showcase of how accessibility makes for excellence. A parallel thrust is currently being conducted in the research institutions and the publishing industries of the world to create Open Access to the world’s publicly funded research. Arthur Sale will trace the origin of the movement, its economics and the forces holding it back, and where we are now, particularly in Australia. Open Access, or OA, has very many more active participants than Open Source, and many more nay-sayers, cautious Scrooges, and ignorant people. The struggle is titanic – the benefits equally large!

SciTree is a web platform proposed by Elena Kalmykova and John Noel M. Viaña to facilitate collaboration between scientists and investors by allowing scientists to post short summaries of their research and technologies for investors to view, in order to help connect scientific discoveries with potential commercial applications and funding. The platform aims to address inefficiencies in the current system where scientists spend much of their time writing lengthy academic papers that are inaccessible to non-scientists, and investors struggle to learn about promising new technologies from lesser known regions. SciTree would function as a marketplace connecting the scientific community with companies and investors seeking to license and commercialize new technologies.

"Practical applications for altmetrics in a changing metrics landscape" - Sara Rouhi, Altmetric product specialist, and Anirvan Chatterjee, Director Data Strategy for CTSI at UCSF
The document summarizes a proposed online platform called SciTree that aims to connect scientists and investors. SciTree would allow scientists to post short summaries of their research and technologies, and enable investors to search for potential investment opportunities. This would help fill the current gap between scientific research and business/investment. The founders believe SciTree could be a global outsourcing platform for research and development, matching scientists and technologies with interested companies.
This document discusses potential routes to open access publishing in vision science. It begins by outlining some of the problems with the current publishing system, including excessive publisher profits and high costs that limit access. Several lower-cost open access alternatives are then presented, such as PeerJ, Ubiquity Press, do-it-yourself journal models like Journal of Eye Movement Research, and supporting existing open access journals like Eye and Vision. The benefits and drawbacks of these different options are debated. There is also discussion of editorial standards, peer review processes, and the role of impact factors. The document concludes by proposing votes and further discussion on the preferred path forward.
The document discusses implementing open access and repository tools at a university. It outlines that the repository would digitally store and provide access to various research outputs like articles, theses, data, and code. It would include features for discovery, search, and preservation of content. Open access is defined as making research outputs freely available online without restrictions. Setting up the repository requires determining policies around mandates and embargoes, and procedures for offsetting subscription fees and handling copyright. Usage statistics show high download and view counts from the repository.
The New Metrics: conference presentationElaine Lasda
This document discusses innovative uses of research impact indicators and metrics. It provides examples of how research institutions like the University of Michigan Publishing, EPA Research Triangle Park, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research have used metrics to demonstrate the broader impact and value of research to various stakeholders. It also outlines some of the shared challenges these institutions face in gathering and contextualizing impact data, as well as opportunities for librarians to play a leadership role in these efforts through skills in project management, data analysis, and relationship building. Overall, the document argues that understanding and communicating research impact can help validate funding and build partnerships across organizations.
Effective use of academic and social media networks for endorsing publicationsSC CTSI at USC and CHLA
Do you know how to effectively promote your publications? Researchers need to ensure that their research study has gained maximum visibility for both, significant impact on the academic community and increased citation count. “Digital networking” is a powerful means through which the academic community can boost the reach of their study. This webinar will give a detailed overview of the recommended strategies for effective research promotion on academic and social media platforms and optimizing visibility of the published articles.
After this webinar, researchers will have a better understanding of the following:
Understanding the significance of research promotion
Overview of traditional ways of research promotion
Popular academic and social media networks
Choosing the right channel for promotion
Drawbacks of using social media for academic purposes
Measuring the impact of the applied promotional strategy
This is a presentation I made to introduce undergraduate students to Scholarly communication and science 2.0. It has some examples of new tools that promote open data/access/...throughout the entire research pipeline.
- Research infrastructures enable better science by building a common vision, allowing scientists to seamlessly share resources, applying economies of scale, and constructing new resources from combinations of shared ones.
- Open science means broader access to publicly funded research results through open access publications, data, software, methodologies, and more. This helps build on previous work, avoid duplication, speed innovation, and involve citizens.
- The European Commission's open access mandate requires beneficiaries to make publications and underlying data openly available, with possible sanctions for non-compliance like payment suspensions. Research infrastructures and open science publishing aim to increase transparency, reproducibility, and reuse of research outputs.
Better software, better service, better research: The Software Sustainabilit...Carole Goble
Ever spotted some great looking software only to discover you can’t get it, it doesn’t work, there is no documentation to help fix it and the developers don’t have the time or incentive to help? Ever produced some software that you want to be widely used or have folks contribute? What’s the sustainability of that key platform/library/tool /database your lab uses day in and day out? Are you helping the providers? The same issues stand for Data (or as we now say “FAIR” Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable Data) and its metadata. Is anyone looking out for Europe’s data services– the datasets and analysis systems you use and you make – the standards they use and the curators and developers who make them? Or is FAIR just a FAIRy story? I’ll tell how two organisations with quite different structures and approaches - the UK’s Software Sustainability Institute and the ELIXIR European Research Infrastructure for Life Science Data – are working for the common goal of better software, better service, and better research.

The document discusses impact factors and ways to measure impact in the humanities. It defines impact factor as a measure of the average number of citations to articles published in a journal. Impact factors are used to compare journals but have limitations. The document asks if impact factors are useful for arts and humanities research and discusses other ways to demonstrate impact through publishing, media appearances, exhibitions, and developing an online profile. It also covers using institutional repositories to disseminate and preserve research outputs.
Identification d'experts avec le Web 2.0Basset Hervé
The document describes a methodology called Idex 2.0 for identifying scientific experts and opinion leaders. The method uses both traditional bibliometric indicators from publications as well as new sources from Web 2.0 like social networks and blogs. While tools like Google Scholar and social media can help identify some experts, paid subscription services tend to be more exhaustive and reliable. The adoption of Web 2.0 by scientists remains limited due to a lack of time and preference for traditional publication channels.
This document summarizes a panel discussion on ResearchGate held at Wageningen UR Library. The panel addressed 7 questions: [1] What data access does ResearchGate have and what are the risks? [2] How do copyright and open access apply? [3] Who uses ResearchGate? [4] Can you get reliable answers on ResearchGate? [5] What are the differences between ResearchGate and other networks like Academia.edu? [6] How should the ResearchGate score be used or interpreted? [7] How can you integrate ResearchGate with other profiles like ORCID and LinkedIn? The panel provided information on ResearchGate's terms of use, copyright policies, user base, factors that influence
The document discusses the concept of Science 2.0, which involves greater openness, sharing, and collaboration in scientific research. Key aspects of Science 2.0 include citizen science projects that engage volunteers without formal training, open data and tools that allow broader participation, and online communities for scientists around areas of shared interest. The emergence of new web technologies has enabled new forms of collaboration and data-driven approaches that go beyond traditional hypotheses to explore what large datasets can reveal.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
