Meta – Forskning 2010: Registrering, formidling, evaluering

er en “…superspændende konference i spændingsfeltet mellem registrering, formidling og evaluering af forsknings- og vidensdata.”

Konferencen afholdes torsdag og fredag den 6. og 7. maj 2010. Se mere og tilmelding på arrangementsiden.

ITHAKA har netop udgivet deres 4 rapport i serien af Faculty Surveys.

Hvad er Faculty Survey 2009?
“This fourth in a series of surveys conducted over the past decade examined faculty attitudes and behaviors on key issues ranging from the library as information gateway and the need for preservation of scholarly material, to faculty engagement with institutional and disciplinary repositories and thoughts about open access. For the first time, we also looked at the role that scholarly societies play and their value to faculty.”

Under titlen Två sidor av samma mynt: Vad innebär Open Access för företagen? afholder SFIS d. 16 april 2010 i Stockholm en konference om open access.

Indhold:

Open Access möjliggör gratis publicering, spridning, tillgång och användning av forskningsresultat för företag. – Det är förstås en sanning med modifikation.
OA handlar både om produktion och konsumtion. Hur kan forskare sprida sina resultat genom att publicera (sig i) OA-tidskrifter? Kan företag spara in dyra prenumerationer genom att forskning finns fritt tillgängligt? Vem betalar egentligen? Kan man lita på material som är ”gratis”? Får man använda materialet hur som helst? Hur garanteras man hållbar arkivering? Kan man verkligen tala om OA när brandväggar sätter stopp?

Konferensen tar upp aspekter som publiceringsformer, finansiering, säkerhet och hållbarhet. Exempel på hur företag hanterar OA i praktiken presenteras.

Fra programmet:

• Caroline Sutton: Vad är Open access?
• Håkan Billig: Varför kräver Vetenskapsrådet att forskarna publicerar sig i Open Access?
• Aiko Nakano Hylander: Bibliotekariers syn på Open access
• Lars-Håkan Herbertsson: AstraZeneca och Open Access
• Leif Hansen: Copenhagen Business School – Open Access policies

Så er Harvard også med på open access bølgen:

Harvard Business School approves open-access policy

Bemærk venligst hvem der bliver nævnt som den anden business school med en OA politik efter Sloan på MIT

Leif Hansen her fra CBS Bibliotek har i julenummeret af ScieCom Info (2009, vol. 5, nr. 4) en artikel om open access på CBS:

Greater access to scholarly publications from Copenhagen Business School – The CBS Open Access Policy 2009 (5 s./pdf)

Abstract
I juni 2009 vedtog Copenhagen Business School en open access politik. Det er en forpligtende politik, der omfatter fagfællebedømte tidsskriftsartikler og konferencebidrag. Politikken er dog samtidig omhyggelig med ikke at skabe ugennemtrængelige barrierer for at publicere i “;toll access”; tidsskrifter. Sigtet er at fremme open access til forskning fra CBS ikke at forhindre publicering.
Denne artikel fokuserer på de erfaringer vi har høstet under processen med at formulere politikken og de erfaringer vi hidtil haft fået med implementeringen. CBS Bibliotek har spillet en aktiv rolle i forløbet, og det ses på CBS som en naturlig ting, at biblioteket er den drivende kraft i processen.

Open Repositories 2010 — “The Grand Integration Challenge”

Konferencens hjemmeside: http://or2010.fecyt.es/publico/Home/index.aspx

Repositories have been successfully established — within and across institutions — as a major source of digital information in a variety of environments such as research, education and cultural heritage. In a world of increasingly dispersed and modularized digital services and content, it remains a grand challenge for the future to cross the borders between diverse poles:

- the web and the repository,

- knowledge and technology,

- wild and curated content,

- linked and isolated data,

- disciplinary and institutional systems,

- scholars and service providers,

- ad-hoc and long-term access,

- ubiquitous and personalized environments,

- the cloud and the desktop.

The Open Repositories Conference (6 to 9-JUL-2010 in Madrid, Spain) brings together individuals and organizations responsible for the conception, development, implementation, and management of digital repositories, as well as stakeholders who interact with them for achieving the widest possible integration in theoretical, practical, and strategic matters.

The program of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, user groups, workshops, and tutorials will reflect the whole community of Open Repositories. Dedicated open source software community meetings for the major platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will provide opportunities to advance and coordinate the development of repository installations across the world.
