Helping Others Use Your Data: Lessons From the Field of Neuroscience – YouTube

Posted on December 5, 2023 by peter.suber's bookmarks

“So you’ve created an amazing dataset that you would love for other researchers to have access to. What’s next? Join experts from NeuroImaging Data Model (NIDM) and the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics to learn about metadata: what it is, why it is important, and how the OSF and other tools can make it easy for you to include it with your project materials so others can find the data you’ve worked so hard to curate.

“This KR21-LIBER webinar held on 14 November 2023 took a deep dive into the prospect of a zero embargo model by:

? exploring initiatives and barriers to harmonise secondary publishing rights (SPR) legislation; ? examining how SPR legislation can go from a national to an international level so that publicly funded research output will be shared openly and without any embargo period; and, ? providing insights on how SPR can enable the immediate access to research findings, the course of action needed to get there, and identify which stakeholders must act….”

Beware of License to Publish agreements: or ensuring authors retain rights to their openly published work – OA2020

Posted on November 21, 2023 by peter.suber's bookmarks

“One of the key points coming out of the 16th Berlin Open Access Conference was the crucial need to fully enable author choice and author rights when publishing their research open access:

We strongly support retention of copyright and all rights therein by authors. Open access agreements with publishers should stipulate that authors only grant “limited” or “non-exclusive” licenses to publishers, and liberal Creative Commons (CC) licenses (e.g., CC BY) should be applied as the default choice. (…) author “license to publish” agreements should not limit the author’s rights in any way.

Not rarely authors are misled by the language of “License to Publish” agreements, unwittingly granting an exclusive license to all rights held in copyright to publishers, which is against the spirit of open access publishing and the licenses that support them.

In this webinar, Arjan Schalken of UKB (Netherlands) and Rich Schneider of University of California San Francisco (USA) talked about problems with current license to publish agreements and discussed strategies to prevent publishers from abusing restrictive CC licenses and ensure that authors retain all their rights and can decide how their work is disseminated and used….”

Support community led open access publishing: Help shape the future of scholarly communications – YouTube

Posted on November 15, 2023 by peter.suber's bookmarks

“International Open Access Week is an opportunity for the global research community to learn about and share the benefits of Open Access, and to inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.

This year’s theme is ‘Community over Commercialisation’ and with this in mind, Jisc and the Open Institutional Publishing Association have joined forces to discuss how libraries can come together as a community and support open access publishing initiatives. Jisc set up the Open Access Community Framework (OACF) in response to community calls to make it simpler for libraries to support open access publishing – and other similar schemes are beginning to emerge too. In this webinar, we will ask ‘what’s stopping us?’ and we will consider the levers that are at our disposal, as a strong and active community, including library and publisher perspectives.”

“Ensuring the trustworthiness of a journal or publisher is essential for researchers when sharing their work with the world.

It is crucial for researchers to do their due diligence when assessing the trustworthiness of a journal or publisher. It’s not just about getting your research out there; it’s about ensuring it’s published in a venue that upholds high academic and ethical standards. This video outlines some key steps and considerations to help researchers assess whether a journal or publisher is suitable for their research.”

The CrimRxiv Consortium, a network of open criminology’s leading institutions, has announced its newest Member: the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS), an association to foster professional and scholarly activities in the field of criminal justice. ACJS is the first learned-society to join the Consortium, which launched a couple weeks ago with seventeen Members from Canada, England, Germany, New Zealand, and United States. To increase the Consortium’s visibility and impact, each Member has its own “Hub” on CrimRxiv, which aggregates and centralizes their authors’ open access publications. The ACJS Hub will spotlight open access articles in the association’s peer-review outlets: Justice Quarterly, The Journal of Criminal Justice Education, and Justice Evaluation Journal.

At the Twitter link is an announcement video made with AI, and a link to the press release.
