Do You Speak Open Science? Resources and Tips to Learn the Language
Do You Speak Open Science? Resources and Tips to Learn the Language. Paola Masuzzo1, 2 - ORCID: 0000-0003-3699-1195, Lennart Martens1,2 - ORCID: 0000- 0003-4277-658X Author Affiliation 1 Medical Biotechnology Center, VIB, Ghent, Belgium 2 Department of Biochemistry, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium Abstract The internet era, large-scale computing and storage resources, mobile devices, social media, and their high uptake among different groups of people, have all deeply changed the way knowledge is created, communicated, and further deployed. These advances have enabled a radical transformation of the practice of science, which is now more open, more global and collaborative, and closer to society than ever. Open science has therefore become an increasingly important topic. Moreover, as open science is actively pursued by several high-profile funders and institutions, it has fast become a crucial matter to all researchers. However, because this widespread interest in open science has emerged relatively recently, its definition and implementation are constantly shifting and evolving, sometimes leaving researchers in doubt about how to adopt open science, and which are the best practices to follow. This article therefore aims to be a field guide for scientists who want to perform science in the open, offering resources and tips to make open science happen in the four key areas of data, code, publications and peer-review. The Rationale for Open Science: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants One of the most widely used definitions of open science originates from Michael Nielsen [1]: “Open science is the idea that scientific knowledge of all kinds should be openly shared as early as is practical in the discovery process”. -

Applying Library Values to Emerging Technology
CHAPTER 6 Bringing Open Access into Interlibrary Loan with the Open Access Button Chealsye Bowley* Scholarly Communication Librarian Florida Gulf Coast University Introduction Academic journal paywalls lock out researchers, students, and the public from accessing the research they need. Although libraries may uphold the value of access with all resources provided by the library being equally accessible to all users,1 access is not equitable across institutions. Harvard University is unable to afford journal subscriptions,2 and less wealthy educational institutions both within the United States and throughout the world struggle with the costs of journal subscriptions.3 For many scholars and students, interlibrary loan provides a solution to paywalls for journals their institution is unable to subscribe to. However, interlibrary loan is not free or available at all institutions, and interlibrary loan cannot solve the access problem for most independent researchers and the public. Interlibrary loan is common in North America but may come with a charge per loan to faculty and students in other regions,4 or resource sharing among institutions in other countries may not be as strong, particularly due to funding.5 * This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License, CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). 89 90 CHAPTER 6 The need for access to academic research is so great that independent, unlawful initiatives have sprung up to circumvent paywalls. In an April 2016 feature on Sci-Hub, John Bohannon declared that everyone is downloading pirated papers.6 #icanhazpdf and Sci-Hub have become notorious examples of independent initiatives to connect researchers, students, and the public to research. -

Fast and Furious (At Publishers): the Motivations Behind Crowdsourced Research Sharing
Fast and Furious (at Publishers): The Motivations behind Crowdsourced Research Sharing Carolyn Caffrey Gardner and Gabriel J. Gardner Crowdsourced research sharing takes place across social media platforms including Twitter hashtags such as #icanhazpdf, Reddit Scholar, and Facebook. This study surveys users of these peer-to-peer exchanges on demographic information, frequency of use, and their motivations in both providing and obtaining scholarly information on these platforms. Respon- dents also provided their perspectives on the database terms of service and/or copyright violations in these exchanges. Findings indicate that the motivations of this community are utilitarian or ideological in nature, similar to other peer-to-peer file sharing online. Implications for library services including instruction, outreach, and interlibrary loan are discussed. nline communities exist on almost every topic imaginable, so it should be no surprise that there are also dedicated spaces across social media platforms devoted to the exchange of scholarly publications. These exchanges, known as crowdsourcing or peer-to-peer sharing (P2P), can be found on platforms such as Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook and often violate commercial database terms of service (ToS) and/or copyright. For example, Nature Publishing Group’s Terms of Service Agreement includes, in part, “you must not … distribute, transmit, syndicate, sell or offer to sell or otherwise make available any content, files, feeds or data from a Site, whether [publicly] available or not, except as specifically permitted by that Site,” which would cover many if not all of the activities in these exchanges.1 Like online illegal filesharing of music and movies, these communities are a labor of love. -

OPEN GLOSSARY This Glossary Is Designed to to Be a Resource to Help Inform People About the Culture of 'Open Scholarship'
OPEN GLOSSARY This glossary is designed to to be a resource to help inform people about the culture of ‘open scholarship’. CORE DEFINITIONS ● Open Access (OA) - making peer reviewed scholarly manuscripts freely available via the Internet, permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any lawful purpose, without financial, legal or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited. May also refer to theses, books, book chapters, monographs and other content. (BOAI) ● Open data - making data freely available on the public internet permitting any user to download, copy, analyse, re-process, pass them to software or use them for any other purpose without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. (Panton Principles) ● Open Educational Resources (OER) - high quality, openly licensed, online educational materials for sharing, use, and reuse. They act as a mechanism for instructional innovation as networks of teachers and learners share best practices. (Source) ● Open Source Software (OSS) - availability of source code for a piece of software, along with an open source license permitting reuse, adaptation, and further distribution. (Wikipedia) ● Article Processing Charge (APC) - a fee charged to the author, creator, or institution to cover the cost of an article, rather than charging the potential reader of the article. -
