Email With Confidentiality Language



Coffee online with Peter Suber and Reme Melero via Skype suffered some dropouts who interrupted at times a very interesting conversation. Even with technical issues, attendees could enjoy the exchange of ideas between these two professionals.

One is social bookmarking draft Tracking OA, where they collect the labels used by users in the social tools to describe developments in open access projects . Also recalled "the old days," he recalled signing the declaration Budapest, of which 8 years were met on 14 February. Suber was among those who participated in the committee and explained that he remembered as being "an exploration" that led to the Open Society to make a statement of principles appears for the first time the term "open access" is defined as such, and describes the routes green and gold.

Another issue discussed was the institutional policy of open access. Harvard is the model to follow institutional policy for research institutions. The Wellcome Trust and the National Institutes of Health are role models for project financing institutions OA. If an institution is forced to include the tagline of "subject the editorial policy, get at least that does not penalize, being the ideal first negotiate with the publisher and get the exemption for the institution's OA repository.
Funny Footnote coffee hour gave the contest to find a new word to make the action verb "to provide open access." Looking for a creative solution and at the time of the interview had received 79 different proposals ... there is no material reward, only "win the glory."
He emphasized that the routes are complementary green and gold a trade publication. This is not to replace institutional repositories open access journals, but to facilitate access to content that is not published in OA, allowing its free reuse. The prestige you get published in a journal is an issue, and provide access to an article in an institutional repository is another matter. Complementary but different.

The voice of teachers

communication by Juan José Bayona (AU) entitled Strategy at the University of Alicante in promoting open knowledge shed a different light to open access. Commented that having no library or computer training, the issue of open access was unknown.

Without going any further, was not aware of projects like COPLA , RUA or OpenCourseWare (OCW) of the University of Alicante until he assumed his position as Director of Bibliographic Information Services and Documentary AU. He explained that the AU is not just to provide open access to scientific production, but also teaching materials. Also stated that positioning the repository in the world will improve with time, the result of specific support (from the Vice President states that it is obligatory to publish a repository for assistance), to reward teachers who self-archiving and publishing their material for teaching in OCW. It also became compulsory to deposit their articles in the repository of the university journals in order to receive funding. Explained the creation of the U.S. engineered, space to facilitate the creation of audiovisual material for teachers, promotion of multilingualism (Valencian, Castilian, English) to preserve multiculturalism in international projects, as well as to measure the success of a repository from the reuse of cached data, the work generated from documents in the repositories.

interesting thing about this communication was the proposal from the moral obligation of teachers to self-archive. And are required to publish and attend conferences, which are also self-archive. It is to reach out to teachers as benefits and disadvantages of not changing. Ortiz Grelda

On the Road towards the preservation of digital repositories working with Drupal

comment now: Prospects for sustainability and preservation of institutional repositories , Miquel Térmens (UB).

was explained that the English repositories are adhering to initiatives like the Budapest or Berlin, however, currently lacking a plan to make it sustainable future preservation of these archives. The exhibition highlighted the fact that many institutional repository projects are financed with "remnants" of budgets. Some remnants that institutions need to spend, and that result that are not economically sustainable.

also put his finger on the pulse of the technical aspects of these repositories: no control file (formats, which have the priority in the migration process?), Problems with metadata, OAI inefficient application of the model, problems export data, backup solutions are unsafe ... and audit systems for digital preservation or DRAMBORA NESTOR, free tools that help assess the risks of digital repositories, and that change will not be used. The speaker leaves the question open to debate: "What do you expect to use them?"

Directories as OpenDOAR expose deficiencies in policy, funding and planning for the preservation of English institutional repositories. As you said the rapporteur, the National Security Scheme published in the BOE left libraries and repositories in the lower level, so that many will not have the obligation to audit risks.

now turn to step beyond the intention of preserving, it has to go towards a global action plan, agreeing policies, investing in people and technologies, and above all, by evaluating the steps that are followed in preservation. Ortiz Grelda

How Long Is Eod School



Of the 4 workshops that attendees could attend the conference, in this post I will discuss the third: Drupal repository for joint consultation presented by Muñoz and Serrano Jordi Oriol Rico Polytechnic University of Catalunya (UPC).
This workshop explained the experience of the UPC for the selection of a content management system that solves your problems of management. Thus was born Bibliotécnica . Based on the core module of Drupal, they are adding modules and layers that allow the integration of tools such as UPC catalog , UPCommons the factory teaching resources, or FenixDoc for example.
workshop was a very technical. It explained why he opted for Drupal (basically because it is modular, flexible and also have a community of active development of software that allows to develop what is needed) addressed the use of taxonomies (group content), working with templates, or search shows (which raised the problem of duplicates). They also described their work with some of the Drupal modules as OpenSearch, which allows syndicate searches.

further explained that the flexibility of Drupal 2.0 allows utilities to add as comments users or the syndication of the latest acquisitions in LibraryThing. A highly enriching
no lack exposure that led to reflection questions as whether it is beneficial for students not to use taxonomies to find or that everything will come resolved by the browser, which is the form you are working with taxonomies and not the students, or about the high economic costs for the institutions to implement tools 2.0.
In this workshop you can highlight a phrase in the simple things are. Not have to look for complicated solutions, but simple and easy to apply. They set a good example.

The role of institutions in favor of open access

During the first day of 4ths OS Repositories Days, organized a panel Round to present different views on the role of institutions in favor of open access. This table was attended by Xavier de las Heras, Secretary of the Interuniversity Council of Catalonia , Rafael Van Grieken Salvador, Vice Chancellor for Research Universidad Rey Juan Carlos , Cecilia Cabello de FECYT and Michael Jubb, Director of the RIN ( Research Information Network, UK ). Carina King chaired the table, Secretary of CBUC .

leave my notes on these presentations.

transition to open access in the UK first

I am following the 4ths OS Repositories Conference from Argentina. I congratulate the organizers of the conference because those who have not able to travel anyway have the opportunity to participate.

The first presentation by Michael Jubb, who is the Director of the RIN (Research Information Network , UK ). Transcribe the notes I was taking along with links to documents cited Jubb.

The Research Information Network UK ( Research Information Network, UK) is a political unit funded by the funding councils for higher education in the United Kingdom, seven research councils and the three national libraries.

institutions that finance the Research Information Network are:

Michael Jubb talks about the gestation of policies in individual Research Councils UK. Place the policy context in Science & innovation investment framework

2004-2014.

Activities Research and Development (R & D) have £ 22 million annual investment in the United Kingdom and the information is one of the main products of that investment. But the policies of funding agencies (research funders) in relation to the management of research products vary considerably, partly due to the different contexts in which they operate and the various communities they serve. Differences in political views as to the responsibilities, both in policy development and provision of information services, means that researchers who receive funding work a coherent vision of how to manage the production of research they produce.


Some themes:

* Excellence in research: Open Access allows you to display the great research institutions.

* Rating: Maximize your performance in assessments, seek advantage in citations, the advantage in the appointment of the information is open access (Open Access citation advantage)

* Dissemination and Access: We want to make sure it spreads as widely as possible

* Socio economic: Reach key sectors of society

* Management and Preservation

* Cost and Sustainability: The relationship between the cost and effectiveness of the investment, interest in improving the relationship between cost and profit. Rearrange the funds to support a robust system of scientific communication

In 2006 Research Councils UK (RCUK) raised a Position Statement on Access to products from the research n, based on four principles

  • Ideas and knowledge derived from publicly funded research must be available and accessible for public use, interrogation and examination, as widely, rapidly and effectively as possible.
  • The published research results must undergo a rigorous quality control, through effective mechanisms for peer review.
  • models and mechanisms for publication and access to research results must be efficient and improve cost-effectiveness in the use of public funds.
  • productions investigations current and future should be preserved and kept accessible for future generations.

The Medical Research Council (MRC) included in its policy of open access to copy and reuse of information:

If you paid a fee open access MRC requires authors and editors licensed items research so that they can be freely copied and re-used for purposes such as text mining and data, provided that such uses will give appropriate attribution "

In 2008 RCUK published a report on the impact of open access policy, available at http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/cmsweb/downloads/rcuk/news/oareport.pdf

The Wellcome Trust UK is the largest charity in the United Kingdom in regard to research funding . Has had a stimulating approach to Open Access that put him in a position of leadership. It began with a policy in 2004 and in 2006 this policy became a mandate. More information: http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/About-us/Policy/Spotlight-issues/Open-access/

This policy covers the research papers accepted for publication and have been funded in whole or in part by Wellcome Trust. It also indicates that pay for the cost of publication. This organization led the development of UK PubMed Central in 2007 and specifically requires the deposit in PubMed Central, rather than an institutional repository as "This has the advantage that it has demonstrated expertise, materials are collected in a one place, the files are managed and data mining is easier ".

UK PubMed Central is focused on items, but is starting to include protocols, gray literature and data. There are efforts to extend to a UK PubMed Central PubMed Central European

Los desafíos que hay son mejorar el cumplimiento de la política de acceso abierto, mayor comunicación y la simplificación del proceso para persuadir a los investigadores.

Higher Education Funding Council for England

El Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) ha tenido un rol de liderazgo en la promoción del Acceso Abierto.

Existen más de 100 repositorios institucionales en el Reino Unido. El repositorio de la Universidad de Cambridge el más grande.

La percepción por parte de los investigadores de que los trabajos se evalúan de manera particular, en especial de acuerdo a Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), the new version is Research Excellence Framework (REF) has had more influence on how they communicate their research results.

publications in relation to Open Access (by Golden), universities do not have good mechanisms to pay publication fees at OA. In the UK there are no agreements as they have done in the United States, the five universities (Berkeley, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology) have signed an agreement to provide its research funds to pay the costs of publishing Open Access. More information on Compact Equity for Open Access Publication (COPE)

In relation to open access policies, 18 universities have policies on deposit in repositories. Some distinguish between storage and access, but not very strong policy. The Research excellence framework is moving to adding open access policies.

has been a growth of open access journals in the United Kingdom demonstrated in DOAJ, Ulrich's , Open J - Gate.

In relation to share and disseminate research data, there are aspects that make it difficult to do with the ownership, protection and confidence. The reward system benefits not share data, there are no incentives from policy evaluation. The researchers have preferred to share data only from the way they want and who they want. Do not rely on data from other researchers. This varies according to academic areas.

In the current system is much more expensive is to produce research that the publication itself. Graphic report shows the "Activities, Costs and Funding flows in the scholarly communications system in the UK"

also refers to a research funded by JISC RIN and " Communicating knowledge: How and why UK Researchers Publish and Disseminate Their Findings "

In production rates predominate research journal articles, especially in the sciences and this is tied to evaluations. The importance of other types of research products varies by discipline. In engineering for example the conference proceedings are very important in the humanities books and book chapters are very important as research products.

A high percentage of researchers believe that open access repositories is not important or does not apply to the dissemination of their research.

In the view of researchers the future, an evaluation system based on appointments that will further open access publishing.

In the transition to a new scholarly communication system, RIN is sponsored a portfolio research projects jointly with other organizations. The projects focus on different areas:

  • Transition to publications that are published only in digital format
  • deficits in access
  • dynamics to improve access
  • Future of scholarly communication

Answers to questions attendees:

  • Very few (3 or 4) universities have central funds to pay publication charges in open access, others are considering it, universities do not have many funds and money should consider this in your budget.
  • Researchers in deciding where and how to publish their research is the main motivation is published in a respected journal, with appreciation for his work to be considered high quality, peer recognition, appointments, etc. Second to think about the wider dissemination are not motivated enough even to put their work in repositories, until we do easier, more automatic, some clubs "Must you do this" but believes that "carrots" are best achieved.
  • mechanisms to control policies are met: The research councils are independent bodies and very proud of this independence and is difficult to have a single policy. They talk about the needs of their communities of researchers are different from what the rest of the communities, mechanisms for policy enforcement are weak, the government asks them to reduce administrative costs to a minimum and policies required to generate compliance more people.
I still enjoy the conference!

data
Luis Zorita (UNED)

The Semantic Web consists of elements that keep relaicones each other, called "linked data".
What is the relationship of the "linked data" with the objects in our repositories?
What advantages or value added services would bring us to transform our objects "linked data"?
Can you create a global repository on the Web?
In this paper we will try to answer these questions.

Open Access: Projects and initiatives, and OpenAire COAR
Alicia López Medina (UNED)

COAR, founded in October 2009 in Ghent (Belgium) during the week of Open Access, is an international association of organizations and individuals who have a common strategic interest in open access to scientific communication. COAR promotes the creation of interoperable infrastructures that support global data layer of open access repositories that allow reuse of data services and content providers. OpenAire
(Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe) is a three-year funded under FP7 involving 38 partners from 27 European countries. OpenAire The main objective is to support the Open Access pilot project launched by the Commission in August 2008, which requires researchers in seven thematic areas of the deposit of research results in an institutional repository or thematic open access to full text . OpenAire develop the infrastructure to enable researchers to meet this mandate. LOGIN

and BUSTREAMING: Integration of audio and video in the process of self-archiving Repository ULPGC open access
Carnal Inmaculada Domínguez, María Pilar López Díez and María Pino Vera Cazorla (ULPGC)

Presentation of two new platforms developed by the Library of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: ACCESS (scientific documentation ULPGC open access) and BUSTREAMING (multimedia documents.) These are two new initiatives of the University Library framed within the Open Access movement, in addition to the existing Digital Memory Canary Islands, which began in 2003 with great success. Although the software used for the development of ACCESS is to DSpace University Library has introduced services to users and administrators, as For example, the ability to upload documents without having to use self-archiving and the incorporation of BUStreaming tool developed by the Library to view multimedia files, either through the Access Portal (cuandosean scientific works created by members of the university), or either view or listen to multimedia losarchivos that have been donated to be part of the Memory Digital de Canarias.

Are our repositories strong enough to take on institutional mandates?
Pablo de Castro (UC3M)

When data are analyzed general policy of promoting open access offers substantial differences are seen ROARMAP between countries.
This paper focuses on the study of size, flexibility and stability of the teams managing the English repositories at present to determine whether they are strong enough and stable enough to support institutional mandates. For this we have conducted a survey of repositories in order to gather information on the structure of the professional teams that manage them. Since the level of development among English repositories is very uneven, the analysis will initially focus on those that are more established, although the intention of the study is to achieve a level of coverage as broad as possible, eventually may exceed national boundaries.

contribution Resource Center for Learning and Research to promote open access in the University of Barcelona
Judit Casals Parladé

this communication is to expound the initiatives from the Resource Center Learning and Research in the UB to promote open access. Key initiatives will include the commissioning of the institutional repository and the creation of the Office for Knowledge Dissemination in 2007. These are two support structures and support that allow the practice, endorse or favor the existence of policies institutional promotion of open access. It offers the institution the necessary infrastructure to enable the one hand to collect, archive, process, disseminate and preserve the university's scientific output (digital repository) and other advice on the management of copyright and promote open knowledge. Other contributions UB CRAI of the institution are to promote and disseminate the concept of open access among faculty and students of UB, through an information, advice and training, contribution to increasing the visibility of scientific production, or dissemination practices and marketing.
