I will take the audience through the processes initiated when concerns are raised to illustrate the sometimes unforeseen challenges that can arise and discuss potential improvements. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInke Näthke \n\n\n\nUniversity of Dundee \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nProfessor Inke Näthke was awarded her PhD from the University of California\, San Francisco and then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and Harvard Medical School before establishing her independent research team in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee focussed on early changes in bowel cancer. She is Professor of Epithelial Biology and also Associate Dean for Professional Culture.  She co-founded the Scottish Research integrity Network\, is a member of the Board of Trustees of UKRIO\, and is Research Integrity lead in the University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nA 30\,000ft view of Research Integrity: Data\, Trends and Actions – Daniel Hook\, Digital Science \n\n\n\nProtection of the scholarly record is critical for the global research enterprise to remain healthy both in terms of its ability to build on past research results and in terms of its relationships with the public that funds it. 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). A theoretical physicist by training\, he continues to do research both in physics and in bibliometrics in his spare time\, and holds visiting academic positions at Imperial College London and Washington University in St Louis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nRetractions: On the Rise\, But Not Enough – Ivan Oransky\, Retraction Watch \n\n\n\nIn 2000\, there were about 40 retractions from the scholarly literature. 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. She is responsible for the delivery of digital and information skills\, open research and subject services within the Library.

Her interests are digital scholarship\, tackling information inequalities and ethical digital transformation for education and research. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteph Jesper \n\n\n\nUniversity of York \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSteph Jesper (she or they) is a Teaching & Learning Advisor in the DISC (Digital Inclusion\, Skills\, & Creativity) team in Library\, Archives\, and Learning Services at the University of York. She’s a qualified Librarian who moonlights in IT\, developing and delivering digital skills training for students and staff\, and looking after the University’s online Skills Guides resources. When she’s not teaching all things digital\, she’s the sort of person who makes computer games in spreadsheets for fun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSiobhan Dunlop \n\n\n\nUniversity of York \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSiobhan Dunlop (they/them) is a Teaching and Learning Advisor in the Digital Inclusion\, Skills and Creativity (DISC) team at the University of York\, supporting people’s digital skills within the university and beyond.

When not doing all of this\, they also write poems using code. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout Session – Group B \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments and exhibition viewing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout session – Group C \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nLightning Session 1 \n\n\n\nPractical steps towards an open research culture: Building support around FAIR data & software at the University of Sheffield – Jenni Adams\, University of Sheffield\, Ric Campbell\, University of Sheffield \n\n\n\nAcademic researchers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to make data and software FAIR in order to support the sharing and reuse of non-publication outputs. Currently there is still a lack of concise and practical guidance on how to achieve this in the context of specific data types and disciplines. \n\n\n\nThis presentation details recent and ongoing work at the University of Sheffield to bridge this gap. It will explore the development of a FAIR resource with specialist guidance for a range of data types and will examine the planned development of this project during the period 2023-25. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenni Adams \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nJenni Adams is Open Research Manager at the University of Sheffield\, where she leads projects to raise awareness and support uptake of open research practices among researchers at all levels. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRic Campbell \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRic Campbell is Research Data Steward at the University of Sheffield.

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. Alongside these new forms of advocacy\, these ethical example of AI use cases has begun to form a cornerstone of directly connecting the work of the library to new technology. \n\n\n\nHow GetFTR Supports Discovery and Access of OA Content – Hylke Koers\, STM Solutions \n\n\n\nGet Full Text Research (GetFTR) launched in 2020 with the objective of streamlining discovery and access of scholarly content in the many tools that researchers use today\, such as Dimensions\, Semantic Scholar\, Mendeley\, and many others. It works equally well for open access content as it does for subscription-based content\, providing researchers with recognizable buttons and indicators to get them to the most up-to-date version of content with minimal effort. Currently\, around 30\,000 OA articles are accessed every day via GetFTR links. \n\n\n\nResources \n\n\n\n\nPresentation slides – Gareth Cole/Adrian Clark\n\n\n\nPresentation slides – Mark Lester\n\n\n\nPresentation slides – Hylke Koers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGareth Cole \n\n\n\nLoughborough University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nGareth Cole is the Open Research Development and Discovery Lead at Loughborough University.

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.
