Mensah ______________________ Dr. Kevin Moffitt ______________________ Dr. Deniz Appelbaum ______________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2019 © 2019 Zamil S. Alzamil ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Three Essays on Open Government Data and Data Analytics By Zamil S. Alzamil Dissertation Chairman: Professor Miklos A. Vasarhelyi Over the past few years, we have seen a significant grown in interest for open data, specifically open government data (OGD). This led to the availability of a large number of public sectors’ datasets made available to the citizens or any other interested stakeholder. Thanks to the pressure being placed on all types of government organizations in order to release their raw data. The main motivations for publicizing access to raw materials and make it more transparent are that it can help provide higher returns from the public utilization of such data, can provide policymakers with supportive data that can assess the process of making better decisions, can generate wealth through the development and creation of new and innovative products and services or enhance the current ones, and can involve the citizens to monitor and analyze publicly available datasets to help them evaluate and assess the performance of their governments. -
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”. -
Open Educational Resources: Policy, Costs and Transformation
C O L AND DISTANCE LEARNING AND DISTANCE PERSPECTIVES ON OPEN C O L PERSPECTIVES ON OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING Open Educational Resources: Policy, Costs and Transformation Open Educational Resources (OER) — teaching, learning and research materials that their owners make free for others to use, revise and share — offer a powerful means of expanding the reach and effectiveness of worldwide education. Costs and Transformation Policy, Open Educational Resources: The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) and UNESCO co-organised the World OER Congress in 2012 in Paris. That Congress resulted in the OER Paris Declaration: a statement that urged governments around the world to release, as OER, all teaching, learning and research materials developed with public funds. Open Educational This book, drawing on 15 case studies contributed by 29 OER researchers and policy-makers from 15 countries across six continents, examines the implementation of the pivotal declaration through the thematic lenses of policy, costs and transformation. Resources: The case studies provide a detailed picture of OER policies and initiatives as they are unfolding in different country contexts and adopting a range of approaches, from bottom-up to top-down. The book illuminates the impacts of OER on the costs of producing, distributing and providing access Policy, Costs and to learning materials, and shows the way that OER can transform the teaching and learning methodology mindset. Recommendations on key actions to be taken by policy-makers, practitioners, OER developers Transformation and users are also outlined, particularly within the context of Education 2030. Clearly, progress is being made, although more work must be done if the international community is to realise the full potential of OER. -

From Rules in Use to Culture in Use – Commoning and Infrastructuring Practices in an Open Cultural Movement
From Rules in Use to Culture in Use – Commoning and Infrastructuring Practices in an Open Cultural Movement Sanna Marttila Aalto University, Finland [email protected] Abstract: This paper explores how design and commoning practices can contribute to sustaining open cultural commons and guarding against enclosure. Based on a long- term engagement with a cultural movement, the author examines how design activities can strengthen interaction and participation in commons-like Frameworks, and describes commoning and instrastructuring practices that can support commons culture. By critically reFlecting on the development oF a local Finnish chapter oF the OpenGLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) movement, the paper contributes to the ongoing discussion oF design as inFrastructuring in complex and open-ended socio-technical settings. Keywords: Commons, Commoning, Culture, Infrastructuring 1. Introduction Digitalization has afFected nearly all aspects oF our society, albeit in diFFerent ways. For cultural and memory institutions, it has created enormous potential to expand public access to their (digital) holdings and establish and renew collaborative relationships with visitors. Along with the digitizing oF cultural heritage, new digital tools are also creating novel ways For people to access, appropriate and reinvent culture. Despite these developments, cultural and memory institutions are not providing as much access as they could to their digitized collections (Bellini, et al. 2014), nor are they creating good conditions -
The State of Open Access in Germany: an Analysis of the Publication Output of German Universities
The State of Open Access in Germany: An Analysis of the Publication Output of German Universities Neda Abediyarandi and Philipp Mayr [email protected]; [email protected] GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, Cologne, Germany we matched all WoS publications of these 66 Introduction universities with UNPAYWALL publications. We Starting with the Berlin declaration in 2003, Open considered matching based on DOI and title to get Access (OA) publishing has established a new era precise results. We got round 34% matched of scholarly communication due to the unrestricted publications because a larger number of DOIs for electronic access to peer reviewed publications. OA publications in WoS was missing (especially offers a number of benefits like e.g. increased between 2000 and 2002). In the WoS dataset each citation counts (Gargouri et al., 2010) and enhanced publication can be affiliated with some authors. To visibility and accessibility of research output remove redundancy, we randomly allocated each (Tennant et al., 2016). The OA movement with its specific publication to one of its authors, in other powerful mandating and policymaking has been words, if a publication is written by several authors very successful in recent years. Relatively little is from different universities; we counted just for one known about the real effects of these activities in of them.
