Join us for the Seattle Research Software Engineer (RSE) Meetup, a FREE event sponsored by the University of Washington’s eScience Institute and hosted by the UW Libraries’ Open Scholarship Commons. This networking event is a great opportunity for Research Software Engineers, developers, and scientists to connect, network, and build a community. It brings opportunities for conversation around open source infrastructure and community adoption tactics to support software products in the service of open science. Whether you’re an experienced RSE or just starting out in the field, this meetup is designed to provide a friendly and inclusive environment where you can meet like-minded professionals, share your experiences, and expand your professional network. Our goal is to foster a supportive community of RSEs and create opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange. The event will feature lightning talks from UW’s Scientific Software Engineering Center (SSEC) projects (https://escience.washington.edu/software-engineering/ssec/ssec-project/), networking activities, icebreakers, and interactive discussions to help you get to know your fellow RSEs and build meaningful connections. You’ll have the opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from each other’s experiences, and explore potential collaborations in a relaxed and informal setting.

Avanzando con integridad: cómo los datos abiertos refuerzan la investigación - Moving forward with integrity: How open data strengthens research

Biblioteca Central de la Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM) presenta esta charla que se adentrará en cómo el acceso libre y sin restricciones a los datos científicos democratiza la información y, a su vez, permite una revisión y replicabilidad más eficiente, reafirmando la veracidad de las conclusiones científicas.

En un mundo donde la desinformación es frecuente, los datos abiertos emergen como un puente hacia la confianza en la ciencia, reiterando su compromiso hacia la sociedad

Univeristy of Monterrey´s (UDEM) Central Library will present a lecture about scientific data and how free and unrestricted is to access, making information more democratic with an efficient review and replicability; reasuring the veracity of scientific conclusions.

In a world where misinformation is frequent, open data emerges as a bridge towards trust in science, and its commitment to society.

Open science—and the broader open scholarship movement—is reshaping the landscape of research by democratizing access to knowledge and bringing inclusion and transparency to the forefront. While endorsing the concept of open science is straightforward in principle, translating it into action poses great challenges because it requires that researchers implement several practices in their workflows. These practices include open access, open educational resources, open data, open labs, open peer review, open-source software, and citizen science. While open science implementation once depended on scholars voluntarily incorporating some of these practices into their research, it is now unmistakably becoming a priority in both Québec and the rest of Canada. This shift is substantiated by new policies and mandates currently being enacted by federal and provincial funding agencies. The Concordia Open Science Working Group (COSWG) invites you to join us in charting the path forward for the implementation of open science at Concordia University. Led by Nicolás Alessandroni and Krista Byers-Heinlein, COSWG consists of 20+ professors, librarians, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students from across different academic units and departments. COSWG recently published a report outlining a series of practical recommendations for fostering Open Science at Concordia University—now openly available on Concordia University’s institutional repository, Spectrum.

Peer Community In (PCI) is a disruptive revolution in science that is changing the publication landscape and shifting power from publishers to authors. PCI is a scholar-led non-profit association that creates communities of researchers who conduct peer-reviews on and recommend preprints in their scientific fields. It is supported by over 100 public research institutions and libraries from around the world with a sustainable long-term budget.

Dr. Gilad Feldman will discuss the growing challenges with the current science publication system, briefly introduce Peer Community In, Peer Community Journal, and Peer Community in Registered Reports and the hope that they represent, and share his HKU CORE team experience with PCIRR, with concrete examples showing how this new model is beneficial to both authors, universities, the academic community, and the general public.

All researchers, students, and academic community members in Hong Kong and worldwide who are interested in OA are welcome.

An information campaign on the Gdańsk Tech Library's Facebook profile, where we encourage you to follow a series of posts dedicated to non-commercial platforms that support collaboration between members of the scientific community. In the virtual space, we will try to introduce the topic of preprint repositories, but we also invite you to visit us in the Main Building, where the librarians have prepared a promotional stand with small gifts.

The first speaker of the webinar, Marten Juurik (ERC/UT), will introduce the UT guide "Data Protection in Research." Toomas Lepik from Taltech will discuss information security and its connection to research. The final presentation will be given by Manolis Terrovitis (OpenAIRE), who will provide an overview of the anonymization tool Amnesia.

We will talk about science, open access and research evaluation.

Each year, the international Open Access Week is held with activities across the globe to highlight issues around open access to scientific publications. The theme of this year is “Community over Commercialization”. On Wednesday October 25th Karlstad University Library welcomes you to a set of seminars and panel discussion on Open Access and Open Science building on the theme. When? 09:00–15:00, Wednesday October 25th, 2023 Where? The Karlstad University Library.

For Open Access Week, the Queen's University Library is hosting an event on October 24 from 1 to 2:30pm in Stauffer Library Room 014. This event will be hybrid and will facilitate both online and on-site participation. Open Access Week is a global initiative that celebrates open access to scholarly information. This year's theme, "Community over Commercialization", represents an opportunity to join together, take action, and raise awareness around the importance of community control of knowledge sharing systems. Our presenter for 2023 is Gunnar Blohm, a leading researcher and innovator in the field of sensorimotor control and computational neuroscience, will deliver a presentation on his latest project, Scholarnexus. During the event, he will share his vision and insights on the future of community-led open access infrastructure. Scholarnexus is a novel platform that aims to create a seamless ecosystem for open scholarly publishing. It will enable researchers, institutions, and the academic community to access and share knowledge more easily and collaboratively. You can learn more about Scholarnexus on its official website.

Over the last decade, open science principles have been successfully advocated and have been slowly adopted in different research communities. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many publishers and researchers have sped up their adoption of open science practices, sometimes embracing them fully and sometimes partially or in a sub-optimal manner.

In this lecture, concerns will be expressed about the violation of some of the open science principles and its potential impact on the quality of research output. Evidence will be provided of the misuses of these principles at different stages of the scientific process. A wider adoption of open science practices will be called for in the hope that this will encourage a broader endorsement of open science principles and serve as a reminder that science should always be a rigorous process, reliable and transparent, especially in the context of a pandemic where research findings were translated into practice even more rapidly.

Speaker: Dr. Lonni Besançon (Linköping University)

Jülich Open Science Speaker Series: Forschungszentrum Jülich’s Central Library (ZB) invites all scientists at Jülich, Helmholtz and our international guests to join the conversation on current developments in Open Science. Every two weeks, the series will invite a prominent member of the global community to discuss their efforts to advance the goals of open science. The series will use a hybrid format, where our speakers will be telecast to a live audience as well as via Zoom. This format was selected to minimize barriers to participation. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Open Science team at the University of Konstanz (KIM) invites you to several coffee lectures and a cinema showing as part of Open Access Week 2023.

The University of Pennsylvania Press and the Penn Libraries co-host this panel discussion to provide a primer on open access. Our panel features editors, authors, and the Journals Director at Penn Press. They will talk about their experiences with open access publishing, how open access publication increases the dissemination and reach of research, and the motivations for scholars to publish in open access venues.

Panelists will address equitable access to publication in the face of language barriers or the geographical specificity of the topics of research and the ways in which open access to the scholarly record can add value to the research community and to society more broadly. The panelists will highlight how equitable open access publishing increases the impact of journals and their content, raises up diverse voices, and extends the reach of scholarship to new audiences.

“Community over Commercialization” is the theme for this year’s International Open Access Week

(October 23-29). This theme encourages a candid conversation about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community—and which do not. According to UNESCO, by prioritizing the community we can prevent the “inequitable extraction of profit from publicly funded scientific activities”.

The theme can be applied to various case scenarios you might find within the research cycle process. Stellenbosch University Library will engage in an active panel discussion that will address the aspects of transformational agreements and its impact on the publisher, author, and research-intensive institution. The research community is hereby invited to join and actively participate in this discussion and find out how these agreements work within the SU research community.
