Taxonomia da Ciência Aberta: revisada e ampliada | Encontros Bibli: revista eletrônica de biblioteconomia e ciência da informação

Posted on July 13, 2023 by peter.suber's bookmarks

From Google’s English: Abstract: Objective : to review the terminologies and applications of the Open Science taxonomy in order to build a more comprehensive version, which represents the knowledge surrounding the theme, in accordance with the current scenario of scientific communication and with the recommendations of the United Nations Organization for the Education, Science and Culture (Unesco).

Method : this is an exploratory research with a deductive approach. The first stage was the review of taxonomies, with 12 researchers who met weekly for conceptual and epistemological discussions related to Open Science, and methodological and procedural definitions for carrying out the study.

Results : as a result of the analyses, a taxonomy was developed to be evaluated by the specialists. For this, a questionnaire with open questions was sent, about each main axis of the taxonomy, to 68 specialists. 21 answers were obtained that cooperated with the modeling and exposition of the terms for the new taxonomy. The taxonomy that came out of this review process has 10 main-level facets and a total of 96 labels.

Conclusions: the specialists’ perception brought to light a congruent panorama with the recommendations of Unesco and the current scenario of Open Science.

From Google’s English: “The document is organized in three sections. In the first part, the Working Group makes a comparison of the evolution of the positions reached by its institutions (members of the 2019-2020 Open Access Working Group) in the 2019-21 editions of the CWTS Leiden Open Access ranking . The classification is based on the percentage of open access publications available, which makes it possible to evaluate the progress of the institutions in the implementation of open access.

In the second part, four key factors of Group institutions that have helped to achieve outstanding open access results and thus to achieve a good position in the CWTS Leiden ranking in that category are identified and described :

Open access policies. Institutions with strong policies perform better than those without specific policies, beyond those required by funders. These policies should place deposit work flows at the center of academic activity and promote the consolidation of an institutional team to support the implementation of open access.

Availability and configuration of the institutional system (repositories/CRIS). The presence of an interconnected institutional repository and research information management system (CRIS) is crucial. The importance of capturing bibliographic metadata in CRIS and the transfer flow of metadata and files with the appropriate version of the text to the repository, where it is offered in open access or with an embargo period, is highlighted.

Institutional research support staff. It is critical to have a dedicated Open Access/Open Science training and support team within the institution, usually within the library. This team should offer guidance and assistance to researchers in preparing their publications for open access, validation of publications in CRIS, as well as in meeting the requirements of funding policies. Open access training may include topics such as copyright, user licences, and research data management.

Collaboration and institutional commitment. Collaboration and commitment between different actors are essential to successfully introduce open access in institutions. This implies the active participation of researchers, libraries, IT services and other relevant departments. The institution should foster an environment in which open access is valued and supported, and where its importance to research and institutional reputation is recognized….”

Panorama de las infraestructuras comunes de comunicación académica | Universo Abierto, abril 26, 2023

Posted on May 1, 2023 by OATP primary

Google translate: Abstract: “Scholarly communication is a complicated industry, with numerous players and multiple mechanisms for communicating and reviewing materials created in an increasing variety of formats by researchers from around the world. In turn, the researcher who intends to use the products of this system wants to discover, access, and use relevant and reliable materials with as little effort as possible. The task of making this complex sector efficient and, at the same time, bringing its many aspects together seamlessly for the reader (or, increasingly, for a computer user) is supported by an infrastructure, much of it shared by multiple publishers. . In this landscape review, we aim to provide a high-level overview of the shared infrastructure that underpins scholarly communication. The purpose of this landscape review is to provide an overview of the shared infrastructure that we intend to examine in a larger project on the strategic context that has driven and will continue to drive the development of this infrastructure. This project will include a needs analysis of which parts of the shared scholarly communication infrastructure are working well and which can be improved, culminating in recommendations on where additional or revised collective action and community investment is indicated.”

Abstract: This article presents the results of the Latin American Observatory of eVAluation Indicators (OLIVA, its Spanish acronym) which aims to contribute to the visibility of indexed scientific output in Latin America and the Caribbean and enhance its value in evaluation systems. This study addresses the production published in open access by journals indexed in SciELO and Redalyc, based on a single database of a total of 1,720 journals (from 15 countries), 908,982 documents and 2,591,704 authors. It also highlights its disciplinary diversity, and trends in national and international research collaboration. Finally, only for the case of Brazil and SciELO, intranational collaboration is analyzed. The study concludes that there is a predominance of diamond journals, of university publishing institutions and of multiscalar forms of circulation. These characteristics, even with linguistic and disciplinary diversity, can contribute very effectively to the current needs of science communication in times of open science.
