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.

Scholar-led publications - a field of action for sustainable Diamond Open Access infrastructures

In a 20-minute keynote presentation we will explain how the library can support the establishment of scholar-led journals or proceedings:

- What technical solutions can be considered for hosting journals or proceedings?

- What organisational steps do researchers need to take?

- How can the library help with set-up, organisation and funding?

Open Access services are already available:

(1) DFG-funded publication funds for Gold Open Access articles and books.

(2) institutional repositories for free online publications by members and affiliates of the university

(3) national Publish&Read transformation agreements

(4) numerous specific publishing agreements with an Open Access component, which enable researchers* at Fulda University of Applied Sciences to publish Open Access articles free of charge or at reduced rates.

In the one-hour online event, researchers and the library's publication support services will be able to talk to each other and develop ideas for joint projects.

An event for the Fulda Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Creation (https://www.hs-fulda.de/wirtschaft/forschung/fu3).

The presentation will be held in German.

Indigenous data governance is a critical aspect of upholding Indigenous rights and fostering equitable partnerships in research and data management. The CARE Principles (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, and Ethics) are designed to guide the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in data governance and increase their access to and benefit from data. This talk will share emerging tools and resources that can be leveraged to implement the CARE Principles within research and data relationships.

University of Arizona's Dr. Stephanie Russo-Carroll, who is also the co-founder of the Global Indigenous Alliance (GIDA), will speak on the topic of indigenous rights and open data on Thursday, October 26th, 2023 from noon to 1pm EDT.

Moving forward with integrity: How open data strengthens research

La Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM) les invita a 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.

This talk will analize aspects related to free and unrestricted access, scientific data, democracy in information; and a review of veracity in scientific conclusions.

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

While a number of Swiss HEI have been hosting some e-journals and even some e-books, these activities have remained on a small scale, and not even one institution has, so far, set up their own university press. We will look at what led Scottish HEIs to jointly launch Scottish Universities Press, what its organisational structures are, how it operates, and what vision its founders have. What does a university press offer that goes beyond library publishing? What are the advantages for scholars and for institutions? How does Open Access publishing via the university press of one’s own institution compare to publishing with a commercial publisher for a Book Processing Charge?

After the presentation the audience will be invited to discuss if and how SUP could be a blueprint for Switzerland.

Lehrmaterialien sind so facettenreich wie die wissenschaftliche Publikationslandschaft selbst. Aufgrund der Diversität von Lehrmaterialien entsteht die besondere Herausforderung, diese auf geeigneten Plattformen zu veröffentlichen und somit eine grösstmögliche Sichtbarkeit zu erreichen. Je nach Format des Materials werden meist unterschiedliche Plattformen angesteuert: Videos landen auf SWITCHtube/Kaltura oder YouTube, Bilder und Grafiken auf Wikimedia Commons oder Flickr, Lehrbücher im institutionellen Open Access-Repositorium usw. Dabei stellt die Schwierigkeit, offene Lehrmaterialien für den eigenen Kontext aufzufinden, eines der grössten Hindernisse in der Etablierung von Open Educational Ressources dar.

Hilfreich wäre es also, eine zentrale Plattform für die Schweizer Hochschullandschaft zu haben, auf der Dozierende ihre offenen Lehrmaterialien frei verfügbar veröffentlichen und sich wiederum für ihre Recherche nach OER begeben können. Die ZHAW richtet aktuell gemeinsam mit SWITCH ein solches OER-Repositorium ein. Basis ist die Open Source Software Edu-Sharing. Das Projekt, die bisherigen Erfahrungen und die Vorteile einer solchen gesamtheitlichen Ablagelösung werden in diesem Input präsentiert.

On October 26, during Open Access Week, the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) and Érudit both celebrate 25 years with this free webinar, hosted together as Coalition Publica.

Join Mark Huskisson, PKP Publishing Specialist and the co-chair of the Assembly of the Commons at OPERAS in conversation with panelists from Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Sweden to discuss national portals – collections of journals that are published within a geographic location that combine their metadata, and sometimes content, in a single interface.

This is a free event. Anyone interested in increasing the reach of scholarly publishing, or already using PKP's community driven FOSS Open Journal Systems (OJS) software for scholarly publishing, can join. Visit the PKP news blog to learn more about the panelists and to register.

Open access is, at its heart, a movement to make more research available without barriers. But there are concerns that the most common approaches to open access – which rely on institutional or grant funding to make research outputs available under an open access license – further entrench some of the historical inequalities within publishing. This session will discuss some of the alternative approaches which aim to make open access more equitable, including lessons learned and potential next steps for the industry.

In the spirit of the Open Access Week “Community Over Commercialization” theme, the University of Oklahoma Libraries will be hosting a panel presentation on Thursday, October 26, 2023 to bring together open access journal editors across disciplines with a shared commitment to community-driven publishing. Speakers will include Dr. Cristóbal Salinas Jr. (Journal Committed to Social Change on Race and Ethnicity), Dr. David McLeod (Journal of Forensic Social Work), and Dr. Joe Alberti and Genoa Davidson (The Alexander Journal). The presentations will be followed by a question and answer period during which the audience will have the opportunity to learn more about the panelists’ experiences publishing open access journals in partnership with a university library.

This hybrid event will take place on the University of Oklahoma campus and via Zoom. Registration is required. To find out more about the event and to register, visit the event page at https://libcal.ou.edu/event/11172942, and please feel free to share with your friends and colleagues. We hope to see you there.

As a researcher, you are probably already thinking of publishing your research in a journal. But did you know that you should also consider how to publish your research data? Making your research (meta)data available is not only an essential aspect of making your data FAIR but is also requested by many funders and journals (e.g., Science). Knowing journal requirements and how to prepare for data publication will help you avoid delays in the future when publishing your research results. Do not wait until journal submission to think about research data management but start now and register to the workshop below. In this workshop, you learn about publishing research in an Open Access journal and publishing Open and/or FAIR data. The workshop is organized by the Data steward and the Open Access officer at the Faculty of Science.

Coffee-Lecture mit anschließender Sprechstunde

Bereits veröffentlichte Publikationen frei zugänglich machen – das geht? Wir erläutern, wie Open Access in vielen Fällen auch für bisher nicht frei zugängliche Publikationen umgesetzt werden kann. In der anschließenden Sprechstunde zeigen wir Ihnen interaktiv und praxisnah an Ihren eigenen Publikationen, wie Sie dabei vorgehen, was zu beachten ist, und wie wir an der Universitätsbibliothek Sie dabei unterstützen.

Open Access und Open Science werden nicht nur gefordert, sondern auch gefördert. Die EU investiert in den kommenden drei Jahren in den Aufbau von technischen und organisatorischen Strukturen und in die Vernetzung von nicht-kommerziellen Open-Access-Angeboten. Isabella Greiner gibt einen Überblick über drei laufende Projekt, die Publikationsangebote an wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen nachhaltig stärken wollen.

Part of an ongoing discussion series, Stop in for breakfast and while you’re here, feel free to ask any questions you might have about different OA publishing models or engage in conversation about the shifting influences of profit, community, and individual and collective action within Open Access Publishing.

In coincidenza con l'International Open Access Week 2023 il Sistema Bibliotecario di Ateneo raddoppia gli appuntamenti con le Conversazioni dedicate ai temi e alle novità dal mondo dell'Open Science (Scienza Aperta), un'occasione per restare aggiornati sulle pratiche che aumentano l'efficienza della ricerca, rendendo la conoscenza scientifica rintracciabile, accessibile, interoperabile e riutilizzabile.

In questo incontro si parlerà del modello di pubblicazioni ad accesso aperto definito "Diamond", gratuito sia per gli autori che per i lettori. Verrà descritto il panorama editoriale che rientra in questa definizione e fornite strategie di ricerca per identificare gli editori che hanno già adottato questo modello.

Open Science, community or commercialization?

Due to national agreements, more and more scholarly articles produced by Swedish institutions are published as Open Access. One could almost say that we are at the fore front. But who is actually gaining from this development, the publishers or the community?

The theme for this year’s Open Access Week is Community over Commercialization. We therefore welcome you to join us at the University Library for a discussion on Zoom about how the shift to Open Science can become more sustainable. The discussion will start off with a presentation of recent publishing data concerning Sweden.

Join the University of Derby and the University of Essex as we celebrate Open Access Week 2023!

The Open Access book movement has seen considerable development in recent years with real benefits for society such as increased access and usage across all disciplines and across disadvantaged countries and continents. However, providing Open Access to books remains a challenge. So, what do we need to do as a community to address these challenges and provide access to all? Come along and ask the experts! Join us for a lively panel discussion which will focus on Open Access publishing and long form output types. During the session, we will hear from expert speakers who will discuss the traditional side of academic publishing in the scholarly monograph/book space and how this has evolved into a need for Open Access to fulfil the needs of the global research community and the public at large.

Panelists:

Dr. David Barker - Senior Lecturer in Publishing, University of Derby.

Dr. Joe Deville - Senior Lecturer and Director of the Centre for Science Studies, Department of Organisation, Work & Technology, Department of Sociology, Lancaster University. Joe is also the Principal Investigator on the Arcadia-funded research project, Open Book Futures.
