Tipping point in open access

OA publishing models

  1. Green Open Access – Archiving the final ”accepted manuscript” in a sustainable subject or institutional repository, usually with an embargo.
  2. Gold Open Access – Direct Publication in an Open Access medium by applying creative commons license, article processing charges most likely needed.
  3. Hybrid Open Access – Payment for Open Access for single articles in subscription journals

Some publishers and journals do not support open access. However, because of their reputation they might be intriguing for scholars.

OA monographs

Efforts to support Open Access monographs are emerging:

  • E-Thesis – Finnish universities’ service to publish open access dissertations and theses
  • OpenEdition Books – a service for publishers to create OA monographs.

Peer-rerview process

What is the role of peer-review in the future?

  • Public Library of Science publishes all texts that are scientifically sound on the particular research field.
  • arXiv asks users to endorse the submitted pre-prints. Reviewers are not anonymous.
  • Media Commons press has arranged a platform for peer-to-peer review process for monograph manuscripts.
  • Data mining options – new methods for research.
  • New publishing formats of research results on digital platforms.

Communicating your reseach

academia.edu. - http://www.academia.edu/

Academia.edu is a social networking website for academics. It was launched in September 2008 and the site now has over 3 million registered users.[2][3] The platform can be used to share papers, monitor their impact, and follow the research in a particular field. Academia.edu was founded by Richard Price, who raised $600,000 from Spark Ventures, Brent Hoberman, and others.[4]

Research gate - http://www.researchgate.net/

ResearchGate is a social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators.[1] The site has been described as a mash-up of “Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn” that includes “profile pages, comments, groups, job listings, and ‘like’ and ‘follow’ buttons”.[1] Members are encouraged to share raw data and failed experiment results as well as successes, in order to avoid repeating their peers’ scientific research mistakes.[2] Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is among the company's investors.?[3]

TEACHING

MOOC

Sharing material

Groupwork - morning Session

Group1

Teaching materials and copyrights in online educations

  • Who owns your course content in the HY moodle

Sharing or not-sharing your prepublished ideas/code

  • sharing pre-published material openly - risk of someone stealing your idea
    • more you write about you're idea in public/web the harder it is to steal - preventative strategy
  • reason for not-sharing is either the code/idea is bad in the first case -> keeping it private won't develop it

Open access publishing

  • good quality editing?
  • the link between content and the platform is getting less clear

Open science and the role of (social science/humanitarian) researcher

  • in meta research/data journalism there is often 1) journalist 2) coder 3) designer
    • where is humanitarian/social sciences researcher? - how could we add our

Group 2

  • What is a database and what is a collection of documents? What is "raw information" and what is already digested in a way or an other? all information is structured in a way or an other
  • Googling information - dos it provide the best information or the discussion around it? - Problem in multidisciplinary research - not possible to follow all the scholarly discussuons.
  • question of trust (the publisher, author ect)
  • Building trust of the researcher?
  • Question of language - English
  • The role of information specialist in finding new materials - fining new environments, group sourcing on information and interesting discussion forums of scholars

Group 3

  • Context of document more important than document itself
  • Creation and editing of document important/more than actual document itself
  • Difficulties to trace trajectories of documents
  • Project "Memento"
  • Digitalizing generates different results: taking search results for granted, every researcher gets different search results. Not digging deeper after initial search results.
  • Misinterpretation without context/assessing what is important and what is not in a overwhelming digital environment
  • source criticism/how to assess authenticity and context of source in 20 years?
  • literature studies, new research: blogs, games. History is also on the web.
  • borders breaking down; greater cooperation between archives and researchers. "everthing is an archive"/everybody is an archivist -What is left determines the topic of research -Nothing is left or everything is left in 50 years time

Groupwork - afternoon Session

Trust in regard

  • to data
  • to publishers
