SUMMARY:Publication to press: building trust in research communication - online seminar 2023
DESCRIPTION:Media interest in research has never been greater due to the global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and Climate Change\, among other topics. How research is communicated varies from an international scale down to local level\, as also reflected in the quality of coverage from in-depth news features to poorly referenced\, click-bait churnalism.  Join us for this online seminar that takes place over one day – Tuesday 27th June – 10:00 to 15:30 BST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nApril 08 2024 – 08:00toApril 10 2024 – 13:30 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nScottish Event Campus (SEC)Glasgow\, G3 8YWUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now closed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nHow research is communicated should be of the greatest importance to academics\, their organisations\, funders\, journals and the media organisation. Ultimately it should be of the highest importance to policy makers and society. Yet\, in a world where research is increasingly published Open Access there is still a failure to include all of the relevant pieces of information\, such as links to the research paper\, especially on a local level.   \n\n\n\nThose working in the publishing\, media communications\, library and journalism sectors share common ground and would benefit from a greater understanding of how they could benefit by their greater collaboration. Librarians and journalists both work to analyse and deliver factual information\, yet that is undermined by missing out key elements that can underpin a news story\, such as an article or funder link.   \n\n\n\nAcademics looking to capture pathways to impact miss out on evidence if there is no audit trail relating to the coverage due to the lack of proper media coverage. Whilst Altmetrics can help this\, it often fails to pick up mentions\, due to the aforementioned problems. The lack of substantial evidence within a news story has the potential to generate fake or poorly reported news\, which can have a damaging impact on research communication. It is much harder for a journalist to apply bias or cherry pick a piece of research if they have to cite a freely available research article or lay summary.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at journalists\, librarians\, publishers and communications professionals in universities and publishing.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial \n\n\n\n\n\nFollow the conference on X formally Twitter @UKSG and the hashtag #UKSGNov or on Linkedin \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

Nita was previously at the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) where she oversaw their portfolio of projects focused around training and upskilling anaesthesia providers in low and middle income countries. Prior to that\, at the Fairtrade Foundation\, Nita led the policy and research team before developing the organisation’s work on the impact assessment and evaluation of Fairtrade projects. She has extensive experience of working on complex global projects and programmes and working with\, and coordinating diverse teams. Nita has also worked at Consumers International\, the Overseas Development Institute and ActionAid. Nita also has a PhD in Microbiology and a Masters in Public Health Nutrition from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:50 \n\n\n\n\n\nAI: the end of publishing as we know it or a Brave New World \n\n\n\nSince ChatGPT was unleashed in late 2022 it has taken the academic world by storm\, causing concern about the impact it will have on teaching and research. But some of the early predictions have already been disproved. So what can Large Language Models (LLM) do in the research area? What are the implications? Is it all bad? The reality is no-one knows and the landscape is shifting very quickly\, but this talk will attempt to shine light on the current debate. It will be out of date as soon as it is finished. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDanny Kingsley  \n\n\n\nAustralian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDr Danny Kingsley is an Australian-based thought leader in the international scholarly communication space. She took up the position of Community Manager for the Southern Hemisphere at OAPEN in August 2023 and is a Visiting Fellow at the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science. Danny has consulted for multiple Australian universities since returning from the UK where she worked as the Deputy Director of Cambridge University Libraries from 2015-2019. She established Open Access Australasia in 2013. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.15 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.25 \n\n\n\n\n\nProprietary software has failed: a community-driven open source security proposal \n\n\n\nFollowing a number of high-profile cyber attacks on UK universities\, many libraries are rethinking the prevalent UK approach to library systems: a reliance on proprietary software that has failed to protect their users’ data and a management approach to outsourcing systems that has reduced the numbers and skills of in-house technical staff. In this presentation\, I argue for a new approach to enable libraries to take back control of their systems and their data. Open source software is not only more secure than proprietary software but allows users more control and customisation over how the software works. By working collaboratively\, libraries could establish community-driven multi-tenant library systems installations using open source software to give them more control over their system security\, to protect their users’ lending data\, and to divest themselves of third-party private library systems companies. Using examples from the Copim and the Open Book Futures project infrastructure\, I’ll show how open source software provides a more secure and more ethical alternative to proprietary software. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColin Angus  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nColin Angus is a mathematical modeller in the Sheffield Alcohol Research Group at the University of Sheffield. His research mostly uses complex computer models to answer questions about the potential impact of alcohol policy and has played a major role in the development of policies such as Minimum Unit Pricing in Scotland and the UK’s low risk drinking guidelines. He also developed a side hustle in COVID analysis during the pandemic. He is a strong believer in the power of a good graph\, and spends altogether too much time drawing graphs and posting them on Twitter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Importance of Choice: Balancing Journal Types in the Publishing Ecosystem \n\n\n\nIn an increasingly competitive publishing market\, authors have both too many options\, and not enough options. As the landscape continues to evolve\, it is important to balance the mix of titles published by commercial and independent publishers\, in order to provide researchers with a variety of different types of journals to support their individual publishing needs. Society-owned journals in particular have a vital role to play in ensuring diversity and quality in scholarly publishing. They are often able to provide a unique perspective on emerging topics and can offer a platform for underrepresented voices in the field. Yet there are risks to this vibrant and diverse landscape\, and society-owned journals are facing increasing pressures. This talk aims to provide practical suggestions for how the industry can achieve a balance\, and will highlight the benefits of doing so for researchers\, publishers\, and the wider community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobyn Mugridge  \n\n\n\nFrontiers  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRobyn joined Frontiers in 2018\, having previously worked for several other international publishers including Springer Nature and the NIHR Journals Library.

Why should we do this and how can we do this effectively? How do we develop a media strategy\, and prepare for media interviews? In this short presentation I’ll provide an overview of some tips and tricks on media engagement that I’ve picked up during my career thus far\, with a focus on the benefits to us as academics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaria McNamara \n\n\n\nUniversity College Cork \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nMaria is Professor of Palaeontology at the School of Biological\, Earth and Environmental Sciences at University College Cork. Her primary research interests are in the field of soft tissue preservation in fossils\, with particular focus on fossil colour and on feather evolution. She uses advanced microbeam and spectroscopic techniques to explore the ultrastructure and chemistry of soft tissues in fossils and their extant analogues\, with a strong emphasis on taphonomic experiments to help bridge the gap between ancient and modern materials. Her current research on ancient biomolecules\, including melanin and keratin\, is supported in part by two ERC grants (Starting and Consolidator Grants). Maria is committed to public engagement to help diversify palaeontology and STEM more broadly and to inspire an appreciation of the natural world amongst the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nPublications\, impact and media work – a research organisation perspective \n\n\n\nThe way government invests in research has changed significantly over recent years\, demanding more evidence of research impact and a structured approach to evaluation is vital to making the case. Influencing government decisions through media engagement is also vital. This talk will cover how a research institute\, working closely with the library team\, used bibliometric data\, research evaluation and media engagement to successfully make the case for a £90M investment and set the scene for a much bigger investment to follow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSara Fletcher  \n\n\n\nISIS Neutron and Muon Source \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSara Fletcher is Head of Impact and Evaluation at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source – a publicly funded research organisation. She is a professional science communicator with expertise in research impact and communicating with a wide range of stakeholder audiences\, including government funders and the science media. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15.05 \n\n\n\n\n\nSummary and Close
