Farace, Grey1et International, 1etherlands Joachim Schöpfel, University of Lille, France 0.1 Definitions Knowledge generation in any field of studies begins with clear, accepted or at least conventional definitions of terms. Through the years, a number of uncon- trolled terms have been used to describe the phenomenon of grey literature. This has not really contributed to the understanding, use, and application of grey litera- ture. In 1997, the definition of grey literature often referred to as the ‘Luxembourg Convention’ took a sharp turn – emphasizing for the first time the supply side of grey literature, that is its production and publication both in print and electronic formats. This break from the previous quarter century, which narrowly focused on the demand side and the problems of bibliographic control, indexing, cataloging and retrieval finally placed grey literature in its fuller perspective. The definition of grey (or gray) literature accepted during the Third Interna- tional Conference on Grey Literature in Luxembourg reads “ … that which is produced on all levels of government, academics, business and industry in print and electronic formats, but which is not controlled by commercial publishers”1. During the Sixth International Conference on Grey literature

  • Guidelines for Including Grey Literature and Conducting Multivocal Literature Reviews in Software Engineering
    This is a pre-print of the paper that has been accepted for publication in the Information and Software Technology (IST) journal: www.journals.elsevier.com/information-and-software-technology Guidelines for including grey literature and conducting multivocal literature reviews in software engineering Vahid Garousi Michael Felderer Mika V. Mäntylä Information Technology Group University of Innsbruck, Austria & M3S, Faculty of Information Technology Wageningen University, Netherlands Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden and Electrical Engineering [email protected] [email protected] University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland [email protected] Abstract: Context: A Multivocal Literature Review (MLR) is a form of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) which includes the grey literature (e.g., blog posts, videos and white papers) in addition to the published (formal) literature (e.g., journal and conference papers). MLRs are useful for both researchers and practitioners since they provide summaries both the state-of-the art and –practice in a given area. MLRs are popular in other fields and have recently started to appear in software engineering (SE). As more MLR studies are conducted and reported, it is important to have a set of guidelines to ensure high quality of MLR processes and their results. Objective: There are several guidelines to conduct SLR studies in SE. However, several phases of MLRs differ from those of traditional SLRs, for instance with respect to the search process and source quality assessment. Therefore, SLR guidelines are only partially useful for conducting MLR studies. Our goal in this paper is to present guidelines on how to conduct MLR studies in SE.

A brief history of preprints In 1961, the USA National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched a program called Information Exchange Groups, designed for the circulation of biological preprints, but this shut down in 1967 (Confrey, 1996; Cobb, 2017). In 1991, the arXiv repository was launched for physics, computer science, and mathematics, which is when preprints (or ‘e-prints’) began to increase in popularity and attention (Wikipedia ArXiv#History; Jackson, 2002). The Social Sciences Research Network (SSRN) was launched in 1994, and in 1997 Research Papers in Economics (Wikipedia RePEc) was launched. In 2008, the research network platforms Academia.edu and ResearchGate were both launched and allowed sharing of research papers at any stage. In 2013, two new biological preprint servers were launched, bioRxiv (by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) and PeerJ Preprints (by PeerJ) (Wikipedia BioRxiv; Wikipedia PeerJ).

Suggestions for Local Action at UO 1 Executive Summary The state of global scholarly communications has evolved rapidly over the last two decades, as libraries, funders and some publishers have sought to hasten the spread of more open practices for the dissemination of results in scholarly research worldwide. These practices have become collectively known as Open Access (OA), defined as "the free, immediate, online availability of research articles combined with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment." The aim of this report — the Open Access White Paper by the Senate Subcommittee on Open Access at the University of Oregon — is to review the factors that have precipitated these recent changes and to explain their relevance for members of the University of Oregon community. Open Access History and Trends Recently, the OA movement has gained momentum as academic institutions around the globe have begun negotiating and signing creative, new agreements with for-profit commercial publishers, and as innovations to the business models for disseminating scholarly research have become more widely adopted.

  • OPEN ACCESS to RESEARCH Open Science Is an Umbrella Terms That Refers to Practices Aiming to Make All Stages of Science More Open and Transparent
    BRIEF 1: OCTOBER 2020 To help inform the special education research community, these briefs feature information on prominent open science practices. Content comes from our series of short articles in the DR newsletter, Focus on Research, as well as additional content developed by DR members. OPEN ACCESS TO RESEARCH Open science is an umbrella terms that refers to practices aiming to make all stages of science more open and transparent. Although some have argued that open science can make research more trustworthy, impactful, and efficient in special education (Cook et al., 2018), there is a lack of clarity in the field about what open-science practices are, their primary benefits and potential obstacles, and how to access resources for implementing them. In this brief, we discuss arguably the best-known aspect of open science: open access. Why Open Access? A primary purpose for organization with a subscription. Those without such research in special access have to pay to access research content. For education is to inform example, if a practitioner wanted to access articles and improve practice and from Teaching Exceptional Children on an evidence- policy as well as future based practice she was considering using, and she did research. For research to not belong to CEC and was not a student at university have its intended and full with a subscription, she would have to pay $36 to ? effect, practitioners, access each article of interest. The potential benefit of policy makers, and other research is not realized if practitioners, policy makers, researchers must be able and researchers (e.g., researchers in developing to have access to it.

  • 1 from Opensigle to Opengrey Changes and Continuity
    From OpenSIGLE to OpenGrey Changes and Continuity Christiane Stock and Nathalie Henrot (INIST-CNRS) First presented at the GL81 conference in New Orleans 2006 as a prototype, OpenSIGLE went life in December 2007. After three years of existence, the results are beyond all expectations. OpenSIGLE has become a reference source for grey literature, and its user community has grown constantly, especially from outside Europe. The integration of the GL conference preprints into the repository from 2008 onwards not only added research papers on the topic of grey literature to its contents, but also permitted OpenSIGLE to be accepted in the “Directory of Open Access Repositories” (OpenDOAR*). In spite of the success of OpenSIGLE it’s not wise to rest on one’s laurels. The change of name to “OpenGrey” signifies a shift in the content of the repository as well as in its physical appearance. Besides providing a new look and a more convenient technological environment, OpenGrey closes the gap between the close of the SIGLE* database and today, including recent records and links to the full text. The paper presents the new website which includes numerous facilities requested by users such as OAI-PMH*, the possibility to export records and an improved access to the document itself. OpenGrey also takes into account a changed user behaviour, where visitors arrive after searching Google or Google Scholar* and want all relevant information at a glance. The paper further explains input procedures and gives other information for the ongoing updates of the repository. Finally we call former SIGLE members and new partners to contribute to OpenGrey.

  • Author Self-Archiving Policy
    Author self-archiving policy Last updated December 2016 Many funders now mandate that their sponsored research must be deposited in an institutional repository. For a list of funders and their open access requirements, see http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/juliet/. In order to allow authors to comply with these mandates, the IET offers a comprehensive author self- archiving policy. With no embargo period, authors are permitted to deposit the complimentary copy of their manuscript (reviewed, revised and typeset, but not the final published PDF) in their institutional repository or in repositories designated by their funding body, provided they refer to the published IET version. For full details of the policy and any relevant wordings, see below. These options will allow our authors to comply with the mandates of a number of funders/research bodies, including, but not limited to EPSRC, RCUK, NIH, Wellcome Trust, Horizon 2020, HEFCE, and NERC. If you are unsure if the IET will help you to comply with your funder’s mandates, please contact us at [email protected]. The following outlines the full IET author self-archiving policy: Preprints On submission of their manuscript, authors may deposit the submitted version in their personal, institutional, or online pre-print repository (for example, arXiv). The first page of the manuscript must clearly display the following wording: "This paper is a preprint of a paper submitted to [journal]. If accepted, the copy of record will be available at the IET Digital Library". On acceptance and where copyright has been transferred to the IET, this must be changed to: "This paper is a preprint of a paper accepted by [journal] and is subject to Institution of Engineering and Technology Copyright.
