Information Poster Presentation

Open scholarship and open education can often feel mystifying—especially from the outside. But even for those working within these practices, common challenges and shared experiences are bound to emerge across institutions.
Approaches to countering the gatekeeping of knowledge manifest in various forms, including library-led initiatives and programming, teaching and learning centres' guidebooks, and collaborations, as well as student union endorsements of open education, open-access university press publishing, and open science working groups. These efforts—led by libraries and librarians, university presses and their dedicated staff, teaching and learning centres and their instructional designers, faculty groups, student unions, and more—might often be united by a common goal: to prioritize community over commercial interests in the pursuit of democratizing knowledge.
This Behind the Scenes hybrid event brings together practitioners from different institutions to share what excites them about a current project, the behind-the-scenes work that makes it possible, and a key challenge they face in their practice!

“Who Owns Our Knowledge?” is the theme for this year’s International Open Access (OA) Week (October 20-26). It asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, scholarly and research communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce. It also challenges us to reflect on not only who has access to education and research but on how knowledge is created and shared, where it has come from, and whose voices are recognized and valued as knowledge producers.

Por segundo año consecutivo invitamos a la comunidad académica a participar de un espacio de diálogo y reflexión en torno al acceso abierto, el conocimiento abierto y la ciencia abierta.
En esta nueva edición, la propuesta se enmarca en el lema de la Semana Internacional del Acceso Abierto ¿Quién posee nuestro conocimiento?, pregunta que nos convoca a pensar críticamente sobre las prácticas de producción y circulación del saber. Además, busca visibilizar diferentes desarrollos e innovaciones que están llevando adelante en las universidades nacionales para fortalecer la soberanía científica y tecnológica.

El evento organizado por la Secretaría de Ciencia y Técnica de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata y la Biblioteca Pública junto con Wikipedistas UNLP tendrá una modalidad híbrida y será transmitido por el canal oficial de YouTube de la Biblioteca Pública @BibPublicaUNLP.

This year’s International Open Access Week asks us to reflect on Who Owns our Knowledge—a question made especially urgent when we consider the systems that shape how research is created, shared, and valued. How can we collectively reclaim ownership of scholarly knowledge and support sustainable, open infrastructures that serve the public good?

Join the University of Ottawa Library for a bilingual (French/English) hybrid event featuring Dr. Stefanie Haustein and Dr. Juan Pablo Alperin, who will examine the evolution of research assessment infrastructure and its implications for equity, transparency, and inclusivity in scholarly communication. Dr. Haustein will trace the history of closed bibliometric infrastructures and their lasting influence, while Dr. Alperin will outline the opportunities presented by open infrastructures—systems designed to be community-driven, transparent, and inclusive of diverse types of research outputs. Together, they will invite us to consider how today’s choices shape who is recognized, rewarded, and included in the scholarly record of tomorrow.

* The event is bilingual, with transcription for the online portion provided via Zoom features.

Qui contrôle nos connaissances? Des infrastructures fermées aux infrastructures ouvertes pour l'évaluation de la recherche et la métascience

Cette année, la Semaine internationale du libre accès nous invite à réfléchir sur Qui contrôle nos connaissances. Cette question devient particulièrement importante lorsque l'on considère les systèmes qui déterminent la manière dont la recherche est créée, partagée et valorisée. Comment pouvons-nous collectivement nous réapproprier les connaissances savantes et soutenir des infrastructures durables et ouvertes qui servent l'intérêt général?

Rejoignez la Bibliothèque de l'Université d'Ottawa pour un évènement bilingue (Français / Anglais) en format hybride avec en vedette Dr. Stefanie Haustein et Dr. Juan Pablo Alperin, qui examinerons l’évolution de l'infrastructure d’évaluation de la recherche et ses implications pour l’équité, la transparence et l’inclusivité dans la communication scientifique. Dr. Haustein retracera l’historique des infrastructures bibliométriques fermées et leur influence sur le long-terme, alors que Dr. Alperin présentera les opportunités offertes par les infrastructures ouvertes, des systèmes conçus pour être communautaires, transparent et inclusifs de divers types de travaux de recherche. Ensemble, ils nous inviteront à réfléchir à la manière dont les choix d’aujourd’hui déterminent qui sera reconnu, récompensé et inclus dans les archives scientifiques de demain.

* L'événement est bilingue, avec transcription fournie via les fonctionnalités de Zoom

“Who owns our knowledge?” – The motto of this year’s Open Access Week raises a question that has been at the core of the Open Access movement. The rise of AI and large language model (LLM) training and use brings a new urgency to this question. In this talk, David Rosenthal will share his perspective as expert lawyer on this field. Specifically, he will focus on how today's copyright law deals with the training of large language models with third party content (what is permitted?), how well copyright law is prepared for fairly balancing the interests of rights holders models and those using AI, and what we have to expect from a legal point of view.

In celebration of International Open Access Week (20–26 October 2025) and its powerful theme, “Who Owns Our Knowledge?”, we come together to champion the transformative principles of open access.

Who owns our knowledge in a global academic landscape shaped by powerful commercial publishers? Nwach Egbunike, head of Pan-Atlantic University Press in Lagos, brings an African university press perspective to this debate. Drawing on his extensive experience, Dr. Egbunike will discuss how African presses navigate systemic barriers to visibility and authority within the global scholarly ecosystem. While open access is frequently championed as a corrective, Dr. Egbunike asks whether it truly addresses marginalization—or might new models be required. His talk will challenge us to examine the complex realities of ownership, access, and equity in knowledge production, and how universities and publishers in Africa are charting their own paths amidst these global challenges.

The presentation will be followed by a conversation about knowledge inequality with Dr. Arsim Canolli, University of Prishtina in Kosova.

Autori - znanstvenici, nastavnici i istraživači - u hrvatskim znanstvenim i visokoškolskim ustanovama djeluju u složenom prostoru u kojem se pred njih stavljaju različiti kriteriji, pravila i ciljevi vezani uz osiguravanje otvorenog pristupa, dijeljenje podataka, obrazovnih sadržaja i drugih oblika u kojima se pojavljuje njihovo znanje. Pravila i kriterije mogu postavljati zakonodavci (hrvatski i europski), financijeri istraživanja i različita tijela koja upravljaju znanstvenim prostorom, a sve je veći i broj znanstvenih ustanova u Hrvatskoj koje donose svoje vlastite politike otvorene znanosti. Sadržaj, obuhvat i pristup određenim temama u tim se politikama ponekad znatno razlikuju, iako upravo pravilna formulacija može biti presudna za kasniji uspjeh u provedbi.
Izlaganje će se posebno fokusirati na pitanja vezana uz autorsko pravo i način na koje se to pitanje adresira u zahtjevima financijera i vrednovatelja (domaćih i međunarodnih), i u politikama otvorene znanosti različitih hrvatskih ustanova. Jesi li zahtjevi i kriteriji uvijek jasni? Daju li politike ustanova alate ili smjernice koji autorima pomažu u ostvarivanju otvorenog pristupa (pogotovo u odnosu na izdavače znanstvenih radova)? Spominju li se i na koji način otvorene licencije, za različite vrste sadržaja? Ovo su neka od pitanja koja će razmotriti i ponuditi odgovori.

Join us for a virtual keynote presentation from Juan Pablo Alperin, Scientific Director of the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), an Associate Professor in the Publishing Program, and the Co-Director of the Scholarly Communications Lab (ScholCommLab) at Simon Fraser University. This talk will discuss how the proliferation of open access journals, led by scholars and published out of universities from around the world, are challenging publishing models, reshaping access to knowledge, and redefining the global landscape of scholarly communication.

Drs. Helen Abadzi, Amandeep Dhaliwal and Dan Levine share insights into their experience in developing two open textbooks on cyber psychology and political psychology. They will discuss outcomes and challenges, her partnership with the Libraries, and why it was important to share these resources openly.
