SUMMARY:An Introduction to open access 2024 - online seminar
DESCRIPTION:The rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance. This online event is hosted over 2 half days. Registration open. \n\n\n\nCourse Summary\n\n\n\nThe rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians and other information professionals in supporting pre-publication workflows for research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance.    This course will give a basic introduction to this rapidly evolving area. In particular it will: \n\n\n\n\nprovide an overview of the research and funding landscape \n\n\n\noutline the key stages in the open access publication lifecycle from submission to publication\, noting the key differences between Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\nsummarise the typical requirements for compliance with government policies and funder mandates\, and relate these to the publication routes for Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\nexplain the complementary roles of publishers\, libraries and intermediaries in supporting these stages\, and the typical activities that they each perform during the life-cycle\n\n\n\ngive focus to the specific challenges and opportunities associated with open access publishing for books and book chapters. \n\n\n\nlook at selected services\, systems and standards designed to support and manage the processes of open access publishing\n\n\n\nexplain how new policies and initiatives (eg Right Retention) are continuing to affect open access publishing and compliance requirements \n\n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the key stages in publication in relation to open access and compliance  \n\n\n\nBe able to summarise typical compliance criteria\, and relate these to the publication lifecycle   \n\n\n\nUnderstand the basic roles of funders\, research managers\, libraries\, publishers\, intermediaries at each stage of the publishing journey\n\n\n\nBe aware of the key services and systems which support workflows\n\n\n\nBe aware of the application of open access publishing workflows across different research output types \n\n\n\n\nCourse Level and previous knowledge required\n\n\n\nThis course offers an introductory\, entry-level overview and no previous knowledge is required\, although some awareness of the different types of scholarly journals and open access models (such as Green and Gold) may be useful.    Please note that this is not a detailed practical or technical course and it will not go into detail about how specific services or systems function\, or how to optimise workflows. Instead the course gives a high-level\, introductory overview of the essential elements of processes and systems\, providing the conceptual foundation for other more specific training in the use of particular services and systems.    \n\n\n\nSupporting Information package\n\n\n\nThis will be sent to registered delegates in advance of the seminar. The course organisers have compiled an optional Open Access pre-Course Reading List for attendees – all items will be openly available.   \n\n\n\nAttendee Information\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nUKSG wants to provide the best possible experience for all our delegates\, making presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible.  Our intention were possible is to strongly encourage our speakers to provide auto generated closed captioning for both live and recorded events as well as to make sure their slides as easy as possible for all people to read. In addition we can provide auto generated transcripts post event for each of the recorded sessions. \n\n\n\nIf you have particular accessibility needs or questions about this seminar/webinar\, we welcome you to contact events@uksg.org \n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\nThe sessions will be recorded and available to all registered delegates after the event\, so if you unable to join us live or want to review any presentation this will be available.

SUMMARY:Bridging the divide between the media and research: building trust in better communication webinar
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. \n\n\n\nRegister for this recording\n\n\n\nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar by visiting the GoToWebinar site. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nPlease scroll down for further details of the programme.  \n\n\n\nSummary\n\n\n\nSocietal and media interest in research has never been greater due to the global impact of Covid-19 and Climate Change\, among other topics. How research is communicated should be of the greatest importance to academics\, their organisations\, funders and publishers.The relationship between journalists and researchers is an important one\, but they are not the only stakeholders invested in this process. How research is communicated varies in quality and scale from international to local coverage. The quality of research-related news also varies in the quality of coverage from in-depth news features to poorly referenced\, click-bait churnalism. Join us to hear from experts as to how research is being shared and what can be done to improve that process. \n\n\n\nThose working in the publishing\, media communications\, library and journalism sectors share common ground and there are benefits for attendees in gaining a greater understanding of how each part of this communication cycle works and how they can collaborate better. \n\n\n\nLibrarians and journalists both work to analyse and deliver factual and timely information\, yet that can be undermined by missing out key components that can underpin a news story\, such as a research article or funder link. Academics 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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 the reputation of research. This seminar will highlight good examples of working practice as well as explore what more can be done to improve this ever-changing ecosystem. \n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at journalists\, research managers and administrators\, librarians\, publishers and communications professionals in universities and publishing.

However\, there are multiple drivers that break research integrity – the pressures of the evaluation system; challenges in the peer review landscape and the aims of nefarious external actors to name just a few. Creating good quality data sources that allow us to detect and understand these behaviours is critical to keeping our research system healthy. I will give an insight into some of the challenges and opportunities in creating a good quality data signal in a way that supports the research sector in a responsible manner. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Hook \n\n\n\nDigital Science \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDaniel Hook is CEO of Digital Science\, co-founder of Symplectic\, a research information management provider\, and of the Research on Research Institute (RoRI).

In 2023\, there were more than 10\,000. That is a dramatic increase\, even accounting for the growing number of papers published per year. In this talk\, I will start with what a retraction is\, and how perceptions and practice have changed. I will also explore the reasons for the increase\, why it is good news\, and why the real number should be even higher — along with the root cause of why researchers end up having to retract. I will tell the stories of the sleuths who are finding problems in the literature\, and describe efforts that academic libraries\, publishers\, technology vendors and others are making — and can make — to effect change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIvan Oransky \n\n\n\nRetraction Watch \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nIvan Oransky is one of the two co-founders of Retraction Watch\, the editor-in-chief of Spectrum and distinguished journalist in residence at New York University’s Arthur L Carter Journalism Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nLunch and Exhibition Viewing \n\n\n\nKindly sponsored by \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout Session – Group A \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop 1 – Making and Breaking the Rules: critical literacies for an AI-disrupted world \n\n\n\nWe live in a period of rapid digital transformation where hype around new technologies can overtake reality. AI\, automation\, virtual reality\, big data and algorithmic decision-making can potentially disrupt education\, work and entertainment. But the models underpinning these technologies aren’t new; we can critically evaluate them using established knowledge constructs and concepts. \n\n\n\nCritical literacies and knowledge of computational thinking can empower communities to generate new knowledge through responsible use of scholarly outputs\, data and technology. This interactive workshop explores critical approaches to digital and information literacies: through community learning we’ll develop threshold concepts\, enabling empowered ethical adoption of digital technologies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan Halfpenny \n\n\n\nUniversity of Aberdeen \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSusan Halfpenny is Head of Research and Learning Information Services at the University of Aberdeen.

However\, when information professionals and publishers talk about its future\, it is nearly always Gold open access we discuss. Green was seen as the big solution for providing access to those who couldn’t afford it. However\, publishers have protested that Green destroys their business models. How true is this\, and are we even all talking the same language when we talk about Green? \n\n\n\nHas a recent focus on negotiating ‘read and publish’ deals moved towards Gold? Will upcoming milestones in research funder financing and compliance move us back? This session will discuss these questions and ask whether there is a model of Green that we can all get behind. \n\n\n\nAre we there yet? A review of transitional agreements in the UK – Chris Banks\, Imperial College London\, Caren Milloy\, Jisc\, \n\n\n\nTransitional agreements were developed in response to funder policy and institutional demand to constrain costs and facilitate funder compliance. They have since become the dominant model by which UK research outputs are made open access. In January 2023\, Jisc instigated a critical review of TAs and the OA landscape to provide an evidence base to inform a conversation on the desired future state of research dissemination. This session will discuss the key findings of the review and its impact on a sector-wide consultation and concrete actions in the UK and beyond. \n\n\n\nWhat did we Read\, What did we Publish: Distilling the data that librarians need to manage transformative agreements – Michael Levine-Clark\, University of Denver\, Jason Price\, SCELC Library Consortium \n\n\n\nAs transformative agreements emerge as a new standard\, it is critical for libraries\, consortia\, publishers\, and vendors to have consistent and comprehensive data – yet data around publication profiles\, authorship\, and readership has been shown to be highly variable in availability and accuracy. Building on prior research around frameworks for assessing the combined value of open publishing and comprehensive read access that these deals provide\, we will address multi-dimensional perspectives to the challenges that the industry faces with the dissemination\, collection\, and analysis of data about authorship\, readership\, and value. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeth Montague-Hellen \n\n\n\nFrancis Crick Institute \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDr Beth Montague-Hellen started off academic life as a Molecular Biologist studying at Manchester University. The next 14 years were spent as a bioinformatician\, accruing an MSc and a Phd on the way. \n\n\n\nFollowing this\, Beth decided that supporting others to do excellent research was far more rewarding than actually doing the research and so moved into Libraries and Research Support. Beth takes an as open-as-possible\, EDI focused approach to research support and is a big advocate for green OA alongside a completely transparent research cycle including radically open data and software sharing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatie Fraser \n\n\n\nUniversity of Nottingham \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAs Associate Director for Research\, Katie is a member of the senior management team at University of Nottingham Libraries UK\, and departmental lead on developments and innovations in research communications\, research support and research technologies.

Owing to a rise in funder policies and momentum towards more openness across the research landscape. Although policies for data sharing are in place\, engagement work is undertaken by librarians in order to ensure repository uptake and compliance.We will discuss a particular strategy implemented at Loughborough University that involved the application of conceptual messaging frameworks to engagement activities in order to promote and encourage use of our Figshare-powered repository. We will showcase the rationale behind the adoption of messaging frameworks for library outreach and some practical examples. \n\n\n\nAll Watched Over By Machines That Love Open Research – Mark Lester\, Cardiff Metropolitan University \n\n\n\nThis talk will outline how a completely accidental occurrence led to brand new avenues for open research advocacy and reasons for being. This advocacy has occurred within student communities such as trainee teachers\, student psychologists and (especially) those soon losing access to subscription-based library content.

He didn’t really know what it all meant when he first started in the role originally (don’t tell anyone) but now he (very much) does understand (phew!). He is passionate about all aspects of open research\, thinks a lot about (and does the work) to support research lifecycles and loves a bit of data wrangling – alongside a healthy interest in shiny new library things. Mark has been working for (nearly!) 20 years in academic libraries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nLunch & exhibition viewing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nPlenary Session 3 – There is No List: (How) Can We Combat “Predatory” Publishers in a Changing Scholarly Communications Landscape? \n\n\n\nAlthough scholarly communications has become more open\, problems with predatory and problematic publishers remain. There are commercial providers of lists\, start-up/renegade Internet lists of good/bad and the researchers\, publishers and assessors that try to understand and process what being on/off a list means to themselves\, their careers and their institutions. Still\, these problems persist and leaves many asking: where is the list? \n\n\n\nThis plenary panel will discuss the problems of “predatory” publishing and what\, if anything\, publishers\, our community and researchers can do to try and help minimise their abundancy/impact. \n\n\n\nChaired by Lorraine Estelle \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatherine Stephan \n\n\n\nLiverpool John Moores University/Think.Check.Submit. \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nKatherine Stephan is the research engagement librarian at Liverpool John Moores University.

But they often don’t\, and we have no idea what our patrons cannot access. If you’re not sure that your systems are coordinating properly\, don’t fret: you’re not alone. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will present an approach to locating\, identifying\, fixing\, and enhancing e-resource access problems. We’ll look at specific problems\, lots of solutions\, and a tool for managing and tracking these issues. The result is more and better access for all patrons\, without spending additional money. \n\n\n\nDo Note: While participants are encouraged to bring laptops or other wifi enabled devises for hands-on problem-solving\, even if they opt not to do so\, the discussion surrounding the identification and resolution of issues will equip them with the skills and understanding to address similar problems independently when they return home. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter McCracken \n\n\n\nCornell University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nPeter McCracken has been an electronic resources librarian at Cornell University since 2016.

This is one of the key reasons for its popularity. It does however present problems for academic integrity\, with no reference to the source of information and no accreditation for authors. In this session I’m going to discuss a project combining the convenience of conversational discovery with the reliability of academic sources. Based on the ProQuest One Literature database\, the assistant is using large language models to generate answers from academic literature including references to the source of information. I will discuss the goals\, the details of the project and technology used\, the outcomes and the lessons learned. \n\n\n\nCORE-GPT: Combining Open Access research and large language models for credible\, trustworthy question answering – David Pride\, The Open University \n\n\n\nIn this paper\, we present CORE-GPT\, a novel question- answering platform that combines GPT-based language models and more than 32 million full-text open access scientific articles from CORE. We first demonstrate that GPT3.5 and GPT4 cannot be relied upon to provide references or citations for generated text. We then introduce CORE-GPT which delivers evidence-based answers to questions\, along with citations and links to the cited papers\, greatly increasing the trustworthiness of the answers and reducing the risk of hallucinations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristine Stohn \n\n\n\nClarivate \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSince joining Ex Libris (part of Clarivate) in 2001 I worked on strategic data projects\, library discovery and user centered services for many years. In my current role I focus on leveraging generative AI for discovering library content. Community work is very important to me. I’m involved in various NISO initiatives incl. KBART as well as serving on the CrossRef board. I’m fascinated by the changes in technology\, the scale of material that is available today\, and the opportunities they offer. I have degrees in library science\, information systems\, and history and a passion for lifelong learning. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Pride \n\n\n\nThe Open University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDr. David Pride is a Research Associate at The Knowledge Media Institute\, part of the STEM faculty at the Open University.

He also conducted the largest study into the use of citation data and peer review in the U.K.’s Research Excellence Framework. He has been an invited speaker at international events and has published extensively in the domain. David was also part of the team that recently completed work on the ON-MERRIT project\, a Horizon 2020 project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout Session – Group C \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments and exhibition viewing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout Session – Group D \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nPlenary 5 – Revolutionary Leader: How to lead authentically in a world that’s set up for you to follow. \n\n\n\nPeople often find themselves living lackluster lives as a result of conforming to societal norms that tell them to settle for less than they deserve. This leads to burnout\, unhappiness\, and health issues. This keynote will remind the audience that they are not only leaders of themselves but of future generations. \n\n\n\nPlaying an active role in the quality and trajectory of one’s life is crucial. This talk will invite the audience to celebrate individual strengths and authenticity for a life marked by joy\, exceptional leadership\, and a well-rounded perspective.

SUMMARY:UKSG November Conference 2023 - Enriching Scholarship: how libraries and publishers educate\, enhance and inform scholarly works
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2023 UKSG November Conference. This year’s event will take place online over two consecutive half days. Wednesday 15th November: 9.30am GMT to approx. 1.30pm and Thursday 16th November: 1.30pm GMT to approx 5.15pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 15\, 2023 – 09:30 GMTtoThursday\, November 16\, 2023 – 17:15 GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference welcomes members and non-members of UKSG alike – Please note that advance registration is required. \n\n\n\nFees (both days): \n\n\n\nMember – £ 45.00 + £ 9.00 VATNon-Member – £ 55.00 + £ 11.00 VAT(A list of members can be found here) \n\n\n\nIf you are unable to attend – We will send you a link to a recording after the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummary \n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme of our online November conference for 2023 is “Enriching Scholarship: how libraries and publishers educate\, enhance and inform scholarly works”.  \n\n\n\nJust as librarianship is a lot more than collection management\, publishing is far broader than peer review. In this UKSG November Conference we’ll be exploring all the ways in which our community acts to enrich scholarship\, within the following themes: \n\n\n\n\nResearch integrity. As a community we spend a lot of time talking about research integrity – but what is it\, who’s responsible\, and how do we get that message out to researchers?\n\n\n\nOpen scholarship. We know that open scholarship can and often does increase the administrative burden on researchers. How can we best mitigate that workload and continue to support the research process while opening up?  It can also add to the workload of the information professionals involved – what does that look like and what are the answers?\n\n\n\nInformation literacy. With the proliferation of fake news\, and more recently the hallucinations of artificial intelligence\, the ability to find and evaluate information sources is increasingly critical for scholars. Libraries and publishers are key sources of information literacy education\, and we’d love to hear about what you are doing in that space. \n\n\n\nDigital and blended learning. While Covid-19 pushed many institutions towards digital and blended learning in place of traditional lectures\, these tools have remained in place as the world has started to re-open.

SUMMARY:Introduction to E-Resources Online Seminar 2023
DESCRIPTION:Registration\n\n\n\nPlease register here \n\n\n\nCourse Summary\n\n\n\nThe rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians and other information professionals in supporting pre-publication workflows for research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance.    This course will give a basic introduction to this rapidly evolving area. In particular it will: \n\n\n\n\nprovide an overview of the research and funding landscape \n\n\n\noutline the key stages in the open access publication lifecycle from submission to publication\, noting the key differences between Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\nsummarise the typical requirements for compliance with government policies and funder mandates\, and relate these to the publication routes for Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\nexplain the complementary roles of publishers\, libraries and intermediaries in supporting these stages\, and the typical activities that they each perform during the life-cycle\n\n\n\ngive focus to the specific challenges and opportunities associated with open access publishing for books and book chapters. \n\n\n\nlook at selected services\, systems and standards designed to support and manage the processes of open access publishing\n\n\n\nexplain how new policies and initiatives (eg Right Retention) are continuing to affect open access publishing and compliance requirements \n\n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the key stages in publication in relation to open access and compliance  \n\n\n\nBe able to summarise typical compliance criteria\, and relate these to the publication lifecycle   \n\n\n\nUnderstand the basic roles of funders\, research managers\, libraries\, publishers\, intermediaries at each stage of the publishing journey\n\n\n\nBe aware of the key services and systems which support workflows\n\n\n\nBe aware of the application of open access publishing workflows across different research output types \n\n\n\n\nCourse Level and previous knowledge required\n\n\n\nThis course offers an introductory\, entry-level overview and no previous knowledge is required\, although some awareness of the different types of scholarly journals and open access models (such as Green and Gold) may be useful.    Please note that this is not a detailed practical or technical course and it will not go into detail about how specific services or systems function\, or how to optimise workflows. Instead the course gives a high-level\, introductory overview of the essential elements of processes and systems\, providing the conceptual foundation for other more specific training in the use of particular services and systems.    \n\n\n\nSupporting Information package\n\n\n\nThis will be sent to registered delegates in advance of the seminar. The course organisers have compiled an optional Open Access pre-Course Reading List for attendees – all items will be openly available.   \n\n\n\nAttendee Information\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nUKSG wants to provide the best possible experience for all our delegates\, making presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible.  Our intention were possible is to strongly encourage our speakers to provide auto generated closed captioning for both live and recorded events as well as to make sure their slides as easy as possible for all people to read.

But how can we equally ensure that authors do not encounter financial barriers as journals transition to OA business models and open access becomes the default in scholarly publishing?OA2020 has partnered with UNESCO\, the International Science Council\, cOAlition S\, EIFL and other international organizations on a series of regional workshops to identify the financial barriers that authors encounter and hear the challenges they face\, particularly in resource-limited contexts\, in order to develop actionable plans and practical mechanisms that ensure no author is limited in their opportunity to publish their accepted articles open access in the journals of their choice. In this talk\, Colleen Campbell\, Strategic Advisor to the Max Planck Digital Library and coordinator of the Open Access 2020 Initiative (OA2020)\, will share insights gained in the workshops and the proposals that emerged. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColleen Campbell \n\n\n\nMax Planck Digital Library \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nColleen Campbell is strategic advisor for external engagement at the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL).

But how do universities navigate this complex landscape\, and how does this activity align with their broader missions around teaching and research? Once known as the ‘third mission’ or ‘third leg of the stool’\, I argue that Knowledge Exchange is now a critical and integral part of how universities deliver their mission and strategies. As both government policy and KE practice evolves\, how can all parts of the university work together to deliver for their regions\, and how might this benefit the university? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHamish McAlpine \n\n\n\nOxentia \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nOxentia is Oxford’s global innovation consultancy. As Principal Consultant\, Hamish works with Higher Education and government clients\, delivering consultancy\, strategy development and training on knowledge exchange and commercialisation (KEC) and innovation management. He has a particular interest in innovation ecosystems and the role of universities in driving inclusive regional growth. \n\n\n\nBefore joining Oxentia in 2021\, Hamish was the Head of Data & Evidence at Research England\, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). He was responsible for creating England’s first Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF)\, as well as managing £250m per annum of KE funding\, and related policy areas. In his spare time\, he upcycles bit of old aircraft into furniture \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n2. Universities put in their place – Sue Black  \n\n\n\nAt one extreme a university may operate irrespective of the geographical location it inhabits whilst at the other\, it may be the very life blood of its community. The Government’s current focus on the role of ‘place’\, regional growth and the levelling up agenda\, poses an interesting dilemma for some\, but opportunity for others\, to reconsider their function as an anchor institution within their community. We will explore this using examples from Lancaster University’s civic journey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSue Black \n\n\n\nLancaster University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nProfessor Dame Sue Black is Pro Vice Chancellor for Engagement at Lancaster University.

Exploring the link between Open Access publication and perceived output quality at a small public research university in Hampshire – University of Winchester \n\n\n\nThe REF 2021 Open Access mandate was established in recognition of the benefits of OA publication and in an effort to increase the proportion of UK-funded research that is openly accessible. The REF is\, however\, primarily an assessment of research quality\, not availability. As researchers and academics selected their best outputs for REF submission\, the possibility arose that an association would be implied between openness and quality. In order to find out whether this had happened at the University of Winchester\, research-active staff were invited to complete a survey measuring the likelihood that they would choose Green and Gold OA for outputs that they perceived to be of particularly high quality. The results show that there may in fact be a perception amongst Winchester academics that Open Access is more appropriate for very good outputs than for those perceived to be mediocre. The implications of this are briefly discussed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJacqueline Barlow \n\n\n\nUniversity of Winchester \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nJacqueline Barlow has held the position of Open Access Officer at the University of Winchester since September 2017.

Many sadlyy are not archived in a long-term digital preservation scheme\, and so something needs to be done to prevent these journals from vanishing from the internet. A team of organisations have come together to find a solution that will decrease the number of unarchived journals. This is project JASPER.The first phase (now ongoing) is a pilot to check if journals indexed in DOAJ will engage with archiving services when prompted to do so and with the offer of help. DOAJ acts as a conduit for the journals and a single point of contact for participating preservation services (initially CLOCKSS\, Internet Archive\, and PKP-PN).

This is uncharted territory for most publishers and academics\, and those at the nexus of publishing OA books require support.               \n\n\n\nThis interactive workshop will consider current developments in this area and provide an outline of the key findings of our work. We will invite feedback from attendees to inform understanding of the requirements and challenges faced by the academic community.                                                \n\n\n\nIn order to provide this support\, we have carried out research looking at academics’ opinions concerning publishing OA books and have identified key pain points experienced when dealing with OA book policies.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaren Jackson \n\n\n\nJisc \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nKaren has worked at Jisc since 2017 and having been involved with several products in the Open Research portfolio she now manages Sherpa Services\, leading the development and evolution of these products and services.

The near reverence with which students used to regard serious newspapers had largely evaporated and\, in some cases\, been replaced with outright contempt. I taught scholarly research and writing at the start of our new millennium and\, like most of my colleagues\, I encouraged skepticism toward the media. We taught our students that even the most prestigious newspapers shouldn’t be taken for gospel and that all articles were susceptible to error and bias. Today\, this kind of instruction is neither necessary nor helpful. For the most part\, students are already skeptical of the media and\, where they detect opinions in news sources different from their own\, they are increasingly likely to dismiss everything in those sources as fundamentally unreliable. In this session\, we will consider the main reasons students have lost faith in the media and explore non-naïve and responsible ways of building it back. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Blackwell \n\n\n\nNewsbank \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAfter many years at ProQuest\, Adam recently moved to Newsbank.

What strategies are being applied on both national and institutional levels\, why and how? A panel discussion will hear from library consortial and national approaches as to why they changed their funding strategies to include OS infrastructure\, which we hope will give others the confidence to do the same. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVanessa Proudman \n\n\n\nSCOSS/SPARC Europe \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nVanessa Proudman is Director of SPARC Europe\, where she is working to make Open the default in Europe.

So\, will there be any need for this usage data in an increasingly open access environment? This session discusses this question in the context of emerging community action business models and asks if usage statistics are relevant in evaluating the investment libraries are making in open access journal and book content. If usage statistics are relevant\, whose usage? The usage by members of the institution or the usage made by people in the wider world? Finally\, this session will discuss what COUNTER has been doing over the course of the last year to explore these questions\, and how COUNTER reports could develop as a result. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTasha Mellins-Cohen \n\n\n\nCounter \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTasha Mellins-Cohen\, Executive Director at COUNTER Metrics and Founder of Mellins-Cohen Consulting\, joined the scholarly publishing industry in 2001.

Perceptions differ about what constitutes ‘open’ in terms of the wide variety of systems and solutions deployed by libraries.                         \n\n\n\nWith the rise of cloud computing\, software ‘platforms’ are on the rise. The value of a platform. as opposed to a software ‘product’ comes not only from its own features\, but from its ability to connect to external solutions\, data\, and processes. To do this it needs to be ‘open’ in terms of data and the ability to integrate\, via (typically open) application programming Interfaces (APIs)\, with other products which may be developed by customers or provided by other independent software vendors (ISVs).   The result is that we see open source library system platforms such as Folio integrating with proprietary software solutions such as reading lists. Equally we see proprietary library system platforms making use of open source software and enabling third parties to integrate to add functionality and re-use data and services provides by the platform.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKen Chad \n\n\n\nKen Chad Consulting Ltd \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nKen gained his Master’s degree from the Information Science Department at City University in London.

Since then\, the Austrian Academic Library Consortium has concluded deals with all major publishers and increasingly with society and university presses as well. This session will explore the challenges encountered while searching for a fair and sustainable cost-sharing model in a world in transition to Open Access\, where the costs for reading and publishing continue to coexist. We will present the first transformative cost-sharing model\, rolled out for two major agreements (Wiley and Springer)\, and provide an honest account of our experience to date. We will also give an overview of the AT2OA Post Transition Study\, which builds on the methodology developed by Schimmer et al.\, and how this has influenced our current approaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRita Pinhasi \n\n\n\nUniversity of Vienna \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nA graduate of UCL\, Rita Pinhasi joined Vienna University Library in 2017\, where she has been involved in the negotiations of various institutional and national Open Access publishing agreements\, from data analysis through workflows to licensing.

Engaging the community in shaping OA policy for books. \n\n\n\nThe Open Access Books Network (OABN) is a relatively new kid on the block\, but it punches above its weight. Our most significant series so far was the Voices from the OA Books Community\, devoted to exploring different aspects of policy for OA books. \n\n\n\nDuring the heated discussions\, what were the main areas of consensus and which topics emerged as especially controversial? Which aspects of OA policy for books perplexed the community and provoked more questions than answers? In this session we will hear from session leaders and participants as they paint a nuanced picture of a necessary but complex endeavour: how to directly engage the OA books community in developing policies that will materially affect its future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVanessa Proudman \n\n\n\nSCOSS/SPARC Europe \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nVanessa Proudman is Director of SPARC Europe\, where she is working to make Open the default in Europe.

Libraries and non-profit publishers often share similar missions\, but existing structures on both sides can work to create barriers to collaboration. The system remains configured to work with paid subscriptions or perpetual licensing\, alongside print procurement\, which can work against implementing OA models. What are the major structural impediments for OA? How can smaller and non-profit presses cooperate with libraries to create OA positive structures? We will use the Jisc Open Access Community Framework\, MIT Press’s D2O\, and PLoS CAP models as case studies for change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgata Morka \n\n\n\nSPARC Europe \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelen Dobson \n\n\n\nJisc \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nHelen is a Licensing portfolio specialist for research content at Jisc.

But the framework\, knowledge and possible implementation of these new standards seem diverse and somehow not consistent enough to produce sustainable change. This breakout session aims to frame the field\, layout strategic options and dwell into concrete cases. \n\n\n\nThe moderators are members of the LIBER “Citizen Science Working Group”. In this session\, we will illustrate the interests\, the thrill and the achievements working to improve the academic mission in order to better serve the society. \n\n\n\nBridging the gap: SDU Citizen Science Knowledge Center as facilitator between science as society (Anne Kathrine Overgaard) \n\n\n\nPolicy and strategy: International trends\, guidelines and recommendations (Thomas Kaarsted) \n\n\n\nStrategy and implementation: Supporting Citizen Science in the UCL Office for Open Science & Scholarship (Kirsty Wallis) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas Kaarsted \n\n\n\nUniversity of Southern Denmark \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nThomas Kaarsted is Deputy Library Director and daily manager of SDU Citizen Science.

Yet we lack a framework for assessing the combined value of the open publishing and comprehensive read access that these deals provide. Perceived and actual value and price vary according to whether an institution is a major content producer (publish institution) or content consumer (read institution). To assess the value from these differing perspectives\, we’ll use top-down data from Delta Think’s OA Data & Analytics Tool and bottom up data from Our Research’s Unsub. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Levine-Clark \n\n\n\nUniversity of Denver \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nMichael Levine-Clark is Dean of the University of Denver Libraries\, where he has worked in various positions since 1999.

Somewhat surprisingly\, most attention has been focused on algorithms\, yet the corpus may be even more important\, from the point of view of potential bias. There is already plenty of experience within the library at measuring the take-up and effect (and limitations) of digital tools. Using some real-life case studies\, this presentation gives suggestions for assessing AI tools compared with current manual processes\, and considers how use cases can help identify new ways of deploying of AI. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Upshall \n\n\n\nUNSILO\, a Division of Cactus Communications \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nTracking the open access book: what data do research institutions and libraries need in support of their strategies around open access books? \n\n\n\nWith momentum for Open Access (OA) books on the rise\, there have been calls by various stakeholders to open up the library and develop OA book infrastructures to further support the transition to OA for books. One of the key infrastructures for OA books is the OAPEN Library that helps stakeholders tracking usage of OA books. During this session we will show how OAPEN can provide usage data for different stakeholders and seek to explore additional kinds of data that libraries may find useful to inform their OA book strategies and decision-making processes to support OA book publishing initiatives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTom Mosterd \n\n\n\nDOAB & OAPEN\, Open Access Books Network \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTom Mosterd is the Community Manager for DOAB & OAPEN.

SUMMARY:FREE UKSG webinar: Towards sustainable scholarly infrastructures - The case of CORE
DESCRIPTION:CORE (https://core.ac.uk) is\, with about 30 million monthly active users\, the world’s most used aggregator of open access research papers from repositories and journals. It is a not-for-profit service dedicated to the open access mission committed to the Principles of Open Science Infrastructure (POSI)\, serving the global network of repositories and journals. It provides services in the areas of discovery\, machine access to content\, content management and scholarly identifiers (https://core.ac.uk/services) for a wide range of audiences stakeholders\, including researchers\, the general public\, academic institutions\, developers\, funders and companies from a diverse range of sectors including but not limited to innovators\, AI technology companies and digital library solutions. \nCORE’s mission is central to the success of the OA movement. CORE was established in direct response to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI\, 2001) declaration\, which recommends the green self-archiving route to OA. The declaration states that: “When these archives conform to standards created by the Open Archives Initiative\, then search engines and other tools can treat the separate archives as one. Users then need not know which archives exist or where they are located in order to find and make use of their contents.” The importance of this mission was further highlighted by the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) statement on interoperability (2011)\, which envisages a “… seamless layer of content through connected repositories …”. CORE\, as an aggregator implementing the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)\, directly fulfils this role by establishing an infrastructure service enabling others (including machines) to discover\, access and reuse open access content via a seamless harmonised interface.   \n\nWhile CORE has served the community for over 10 years\, the journey hasn’t been without financial and organisational challenges\, with CORE’s income streams being several times under threat. In order to diversify income and increase resilience\, CORE has been building a community support mechanism in the form of a voluntary CORE Membership programme\, inspired by the sustainability streams of other open scholarly infrastructure services.  \n\nThis webinar will present what CORE is\, positioning it within the OA landscape and explain its functionalities and value for institutions and data providers. We will discuss sustainability and how CORE is committed to the Principles of Open Science Infrastructure. We will briefly mention the voluntary CORE Membership programme\, which will be launching on the day of the seminar and allow institutions to participate in shaping the future of the service. The presentation will be followed by a short panel who will talk about sustainability of OS services.  \n\n  \n\nRegister for this recording \n\nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar by visiting the GoToWebinar site. \n\nTranscript \n\nThe recording including transcript will be available shortly on the UKSG free webinars channel. \n\n(Please note that webinars have software generated transcripts therefore are not 100% accurate.
