LIBRARIAN’S DEVLOPMENT PROGRAMME: EMERGING ISSUES IN LIBRARIANSHIP OPEN ACCESS TRENDS Prof. R. K. Mahapatra College of Lib. & Info. Science (Berhampur University) SMIT, Ankushpur (Berhampur) Lead Knowledge Partnership: My best wishes to KIIT University for organizing such a nice LDP, which will certainly help the fellow library professionals to meet the emerging challenges in librarianship today and hope this trend should continue in future Introduction Open-access mandates have almost doubled globally that has elapsed since Harvard’s mandate in May 2008’, Steven Harnard, University of Southhampton, U.K. (Nature, 2009). New trend the first International Open Access Week, 2009 at The National Library of Sweden called Open Access, ‘promote maximum accessibility and visibility of works produced by researchers, teachers and students’. Open Access Forum 2011: UNESCO UNESCO Open Access strategy approved by the UNESCO Executive Board 187th & 36th session of the General Conference. The invited experts from all over the world discussed how to create a network collaborative platform to promote Open Access to scientific information and research India: An” announcement made by CSIR, urging the establishment of institutional repositories in each of its more than laboratories & conversion of all their journals to open access.” (Chan, et al, 2009). The above demonstrates a current worldwide interest in and willingness to embrace open access. Problems Rising costs of subscriptions Permission barriers imposed by publishers Barred access to the extent to research and care Lack of information Lack awareness Lack of interest and willingness to do The now-annual event has been expanded from a single day to accommodate widespread global interest in the movement toward open, public access to scholarly research results.” (OpenAccessWeek.org, 2009). Information scientist Mikael Laakso, Hanken School of Economics, Helsinki, his colleagues, found the number of fully open-access journals growing at around 15% every year as new journals are founded and subscription journals switch to the open-access model The open-access publishing model has proven itself to work Laakso divides the history of open access into three phases. First the pioneering years of 1993–99, most open-access journals "home-brew" efforts, by individuals and hosted on university servers. Next the innovation years, the birth of publishers the Public Library of Science and software infrastructure that makes it much easier to launch a digital journal cont… Since 2005, Laakso says, innovation has slowed but growth continues — the consolidation phase. Following this trend, last week Nature Publishing Group (NPG) launched Scientific Reports , an author-pays, open-access, online- only journal, which reviews papers on technical soundness rather than impact. Needs To resolving the deep knowledge gap lies in creating a global knowledge base & essential research emanating from both research communities in developing countries as well as from ‘international’ research. To develop a better understanding of the common characteristics of OA scholarly publishing and citation network Significance/OPPORTUNITY Empowering authors with content creation using Tools that are not constrained by the paper metaphor so that, no matter what happens on the publisher's side of the transaction, authors can use and re-use their work as flexibly as possible. The technology now exists for authors to transcend the limitations of paper formatting (Sefton, 2009), Strengthening research capacity in developing countries is one of the most effective and sustainable ways of advancing, development and helping correct the gap in research (Chan, et al, 2009) OPEN ACCESS Free to access, Free to reuse, Creative Commons license, OPEN ACCESS = Free Access + Re-use Definition of OA No subscription or license required to access the electronic edition of the journal Licensing agreement that allows free use and re-use (downloading, sharing, printing copies, use of tables and figures, possibility for text-mining, etc.) at least for non-commercial/scholarly purposes. Changing metaphors Knowledge as ”paper” Knowledge as ”product” and ”property” Created by scientists Owned by publishers Archived by libraries -- John Wilbanks, Science Commons, IATUL, 2007 New Metaphors Knowledge = NETWORK Knowledge = infrastructure ”A better reflection of the reality of knowledge” -- John Wilbanks, Science Commons, IATUL, 2007 A social network diagram, Screenshot taken by Darwin Peacock, accessed through Wikimedia Open Access (OA) is the provision of free access to peer-reviewed, scholarly and research information to all. It requires that rights holders grant worldwide irrevocable right to copy, use, distribute, transmit and make derivative works in any format for any lawful activities with proper attribution to the original author. (Unesco, 2011) OA is about freedom, flexibility and fairness Advantages: Ex. On-line journals No problem of space A constraint for print journals Unlimited use of colour images, figures, tables No need for limits on references (word counts?) Access to original data Multimedia (Audio/podcasts and Video) Hyperlinking and Text mining Plagiarism Online publication - easier to plagarize and be detected Software programs to detect plagarism Free and priced Crossref Crosscheck Theft of ideas is unethical Debate over reuse of content for results and methods Self-plagiarism Digital manipulation of images Ranges from enhancing the clarity of results presented to producing fraudulent data. Article usage Page views, downloads Media and blog coverage about the article Social tools Social bookmarks e.g. Connotea, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Reader evaluation Why Open Access? Exploring the characteristics of formal scholarly communication on web becoming more important due to increasing numbers of authors, journals, and institutions publish and self-archive their research results online.” (Kousha, 2009). OA publishers lacked a voice in public debates about scholarly communications and Open Access Open Access had become an established part of the publishing landscape, it was time to address practical issues Who are the beneficiaries? To scientists, Faculty, educator, students, scholars, researchers, publishers, aggregators, public… Nations where academic, medical and non-profit research institutions have limited resources, Libraries of inadequate funds to subscribe to scientific literature, Valuable in advancing the public understanding of science, knowledge... The demand for open access publishing is growing fast and has powerful support from the scientific community. (Scientific organizations, academic institutions and public sector are publicly funded). What way? Open Access uses information and communication technology (ICT) to increase and enhance the dissemination of scholarship. Books, Journals, Reports, Conference papers, Research papers, Technical Reports, Project Reports, Theses & Dissertations, Institutional Publications, Intellectuals Properties, Databases, etc. GOOGLE, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, SCOPUS, BioMed Central Open resources Emerging Trends Related to OA/Guide to Open Access Guide to Open Access Tags: Free, open access, public, publishing, scholarly communication Open Access Books NCBI Bookshelf Internet Archive Community Books InTech Open Access Books O'Reilly Open Books Wikibooks Connecting Open Access Repositories CORE: aims to facilitate free access to content stored across Open Access repositories, a large aggregator of content (several million publications from hundreds of Open Access repositories) value added services are provided.

    Of Us Research Program Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI)

    All of Us Research Program Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) Research Priorities Workshop June 24–25, 2019 Executive Summary The All of Us Research Program’s Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) Research Priorities Workshop was held on June 24–25, 2019. The workshop convened ELSI professionals and All of Us participant ambassadors to help identify ELSI research opportunities using the All of Us Research Program, provide feedback on how to advance ELSI research by using the program and its data resources, and suggest ELSI-related research use cases.1 On Day 1, attendees received information on the program’s research platform, scientific framework and priorities, commitment to diversity, participant engagement strategy, data access and privacy policies, and new activities that are being planned. They also received a demonstration of the All of Us public data browser. Attendees then divided into working groups organized around three themes: (1) genomics; (2) social determinants of health; and (3) legal, regulatory, and policy issues. In these groups, attendees participated in a facilitated activity where they discussed and recorded ELSI research questions of interest and the data needed to answer them, including data with planned availability through the program’s Research Hub. During an open discussion on Day 2, attendees raised significant concerns about the structure of Day 1 and asserted that the program could make better use of their deep and varied expertise by reframing the workshop to allow for exploration of some important ELSI considerations that the program raises, including protecting participants’ rights and privacy and ensuring that participants have a real voice in the program.

  • A Fool's Errand

    A Fool's Errand

    COMMENT by the madness of mobs. Will a crowd- sourced scholarship be dominated by pro- vocative pap that fills without nourishing? Here we must recall first that schol- arship has always been a community MONROE BRENDAN enterprise, driven by building consen- sus among experts10. So the question is not ‘Should we crowdsource?’ but ‘How should we crowdsource?’. Second, we must dispose of the straw-man argument that hundreds of uninformed readers’ opinions will count for more than one Fields medallist’s recommendation. Authority and expertise are central in the Web era as they were in the journal era. The difference is that whereas the paper- based system used subjective criteria to identify authoritative voices, the Web- based one assesses authority recursively from the entire community. We now have a unique opportunity as scholars to guide the evolution of our tools in directions that honour our val- ues and benefit our communities. Here’s what to do. First, try new things: publish new kinds of products, share them in new places and brag about them using new metrics. Intellectual playfulness is a core scholarly virtue. Second, take risks (another scholarly virtue): publishing more papers may be safe, but scholars who establish early leadership in Web- native production will be ahead of the curve as these genres become dominant. A fool’s errand Finally, resist the urge to cling to the trap- pings of scientific excellence rather than Objections to the Creative Commons attribution excellence itself. ‘Publication’ is just one mode of making public and one way of licence are straw men raised by parties who want open validating scholarly excellence.

    You Are Not Welcome Among Us: Pirates and the State

    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 890–908 1932–8036/20150005 You Are Not Welcome Among Us: Pirates and the State JESSICA L. BEYER University of Washington, USA FENWICK MCKELVEY1 Concordia University, Canada In a historical review focused on digital piracy, we explore the relationship between hacker politics and the state. We distinguish between two core aspects of piracy—the challenge to property rights and the challenge to state power—and argue that digital piracy should be considered more broadly as a challenge to the authority of the state. We trace generations of peer-to-peer networking, showing that digital piracy is a key component in the development of a political platform that advocates for a set of ideals grounded in collaborative culture, nonhierarchical organization, and a reliance on the network. We assert that this politics expresses itself in a philosophy that was formed together with the development of the state-evading forms of communication that perpetuate unmanageable networks. Keywords: pirates, information politics, intellectual property, state networks Introduction Digital piracy is most frequently framed as a challenge to property rights or as theft. This framing is not incorrect, but it overemphasizes intellectual property regimes and, in doing so, underemphasizes the broader political challenge posed by digital pirates. In fact, digital pirates and broader “hacker culture” are part of a political challenge to the state, as well as a challenge to property rights regimes. This challenge is articulated in terms of contributory culture, in contrast to the commodification and enclosures of capitalist culture; as nonhierarchical, in contrast to the strict hierarchies of the modern state; and as faith in the potential of a seemingly uncontrollable communication technology that makes all of this possible, in contrast to a fear of the potential chaos that unsurveilled spaces can bring.

    The Fourth Paradigm

    ABOUT THE FOURTH PARADIGM This book presents the first broad look at the rapidly emerging field of data- THE FOUR intensive science, with the goal of influencing the worldwide scientific and com- puting research communities and inspiring the next generation of scientists. Increasingly, scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets. The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud- computing technologies. This collection of essays expands on the vision of pio- T neering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based H PARADIGM on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized. “The impact of Jim Gray’s thinking is continuing to get people to think in a new way about how data and software are redefining what it means to do science.” —Bill GaTES “I often tell people working in eScience that they aren’t in this field because they are visionaries or super-intelligent—it’s because they care about science The and they are alive now. It is about technology changing the world, and science taking advantage of it, to do more and do better.” —RhyS FRANCIS, AUSTRALIAN eRESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE COUNCIL F OURTH “One of the greatest challenges for 21st-century science is how we respond to this new era of data-intensive

    TECHNOLOGY SPECIAL REPORT The Machine That Would Predic t the If you dropped all the world’s data into a black box, could it become a crystal ball that Futurewould let you see the future—even test what would happen if you chose A over B? One researcher thinks so, and he could soon get a billion euros to build it By David Weinberger In the summer and fall of last year, the Greek financial crisis tore at the seams of the global economy. Having run up a debt that it would never be able to repay, the country faced a number of poten- tial outcomes, all unpleasant. Efforts to slash spending spurred riots in the streets of Athens, while threats of default rattled global financial markets. Many economists argued that Greece should leave the euro zone and devalue its currency, a move that would in theory help the economy grow. “Make no mistake: an orderly euro exit will be hard,” wrote New York Universi- ty economist Nouriel Roubini in the Financial Times. “But watching the slow disorderly implo- sion of the Greek economy and society will be much worse.” No one was sure exactly how the scenario would play out, limit the spread of infectious disease. Altered trade routes could though. Fear spread that if Greece were to abandon the euro, disrupt native ecosystems. The question itself is simple— Spain and Italy might do the same, weakening the central bond Should Greece drop the euro?—but the potential fallout is so of the European Union. Yet the Economist opined that the crisis far-reaching and complex that even the world’s sharpest minds would “bring more fiscal-policy control from Brussels, turning found themselves unable to grasp all the permutations.
