Dryad in the community: Responding to the Nelson Memo: repository re-curation for open scienceDryad news

“Available to watch now: “Responding to the Nelson Memo: repository re-curation for open science”.

This talk introduces the concept of re-curation with examples from three different types of repositories and research organisations; generalist, institutional, and field stations. Re-curation is the care and feeding of digital content over time, ensuring it remains discoverable, interoperable, and reusable and aligned with the latest standards.

Learn from Dryad partner Ted Habermann of Metadata Gamechangers about the importance of continually improving metadata to support discovery and reuse as standards emerge and evolve.”

Academic Journals are Broken. Let’s Build a Better Scientific Record. – YouTube

“This session is presented in two parts. The first three speakers will provide evidence of serious and even criminal problems in scholarly publishing. The next three speakers will propose actions researchers, universities and funders are taking to move away from the old model and create a better system.”

Discover drug targets with Europe PMC Machine Learning Dataset and Open Targets – YouTube

“This webinar introduces the Europe PMC human-annotated full-text corpus for Gene/Proteins, Diseases and Organisms and highlights how it has been used to train machine learning models for systematic identification and prioritisation of potential therapeutic drugs by the Open Targets Platform. This webinar will explain how to access and reuse the annotated corpus as an open community resource and provide an overview of the Open Targets Platform.

Europe PMC is an open access life science database of journal articles and preprints, containing over 41 million abstracts and 8.7 million full-text articles.

Open Science Infrastructures – third meeting of the UNESCO Working Group – YouTube

“The objective of the Working Group on Open Science Infrastructures is to gain a better understanding the current ecosystem of international, regional and thematic open science platforms for sharing of knowledge and best practices; and understanding the key gaps and challenges for their effective and sustainable development, use and maintenance. The specific focus will be on thematic platforms in UNESCO’s priority areas, including biodiversity, water, disaster risk reduction, geosciences, ocean sciences, climate change, etc. It is one of 5 ad-hoc Working Groups convened by UNESCO and focusing on key impact areas relevant to the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, bringing together experts and open science entities, organizations and institutions, according to their field of activity and expertise. The third meeting of the UNESCO Working Group on Open Science Infrastructures took place on 3 of March 2023….”

How the Public Access Submission System is Ideally Suited to Address the New Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Memorandum | December 2022

“In August of this year, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced new guidance that requires all federal agencies to define, by 2025, policies that ensure immediate public access to federally funded research publications in agency-designated repositories. These policy changes have the potential to dramatically increase access to public research, but they also come with implementation challenges. These agency-designated repositories can have highly variable submission requirements and capabilities, and research institutions often have their own open access policies and guidelines, which introduce additional expectations. Taken together, all of these requirements place a considerable burden on researchers who wish to comply with all applicable public access policies with minimal effort. The Public Access Submission System (PASS) was designed specifically to address these challenges. PASS was created to take into account the requirements of multiple federal agency and institutional repository systems and to guide researchers through the deposit process, ensuring that all of the necessary information is collected at one time and then submitted to all of the required deposit endpoints….”

[No. 010] Technics and Civilization: Open Science and the Creative Commons Climate Campaign – Korea IT Times

“The Creative Commons launched their 4-Year Open Climate Campaign late last year in 2022, and I contacted a lead scientist on the project, Dr. Monica Granados (Canada) about this remarkable project. The open science movement has contributed greatly to public awareness and subsequent public participation in science and society….”

Explore how Europeana Subtitled increased access to audiovisual heritage | Europeana Pro

“Europeana Subtitled gathered seven major national broadcasters and audiovisual archives from seven European countries to provide high-quality audiovisual materials to Europeana. The project combined AI technology and audiovisual cultural heritage to produce high-quality closed captions and English subtitles for local video content, and created a platform to allow organisations to run crowdsourcing campaigns to revise captions using state of the art editing tools. 

Europeana Subtitled also supported cultural heritage professionals with the use of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and machine translation (MT) technologies in the cultural sector through an online training suite consisting of video tutorials, documentation and guidelines, and worked with teachers and museum educators to create learning resources with audiovisual content. 

Finally, the project engaged audiences through crowdsourcing events and editorial activities on the Europeana website, in particular, through the ‘Broadcasting Europe’ page and ‘Mass-media and propaganda’ online exhibition….

The Subtitled content is publicly available and videos can be enjoyed directly on the Europeana website, while you can also access freely reusable content with more than 3,000 records in the Public Domain….”
