Unlike traditional publishing models, where marketing and promotion are completed for authors, engaging in open education activities requires some effort from practitioners in getting the word out there about their resources.

This session will introduce you to workflows for making your resource discoverable, streamlining impact data collection, and marketing and promotion processes to showcase the reach of your open educational resource.

This session will cover:

• Identifying how resource formats and accessibility impact openness

• Developing a plan for sharing open educational resources

• Developing a plan for gathering data to show impact of your open educational resource

• Identify marketing and promotion processes for releasing your open educational resource

Join us for an exclusive, 60-minute interactive session designed to address your specific needs in medical research publishing. Discover how Open Access can transform the way your work is shared and its impact on global healthcare.

In this session, we’ll cover how Open Access increases the visibility and impact of your research, accelerates knowledge dissemination, and enhances public health outcomes by making medical research freely accessible.

You’ll also learn about the latest trends, including the rise of preprints, transformative publishing agreements, and funder mandates. Practical tips will be provided on navigating article processing charges (APCs), selecting reputable Open Access journals, and understanding copyright and licensing issues.

Many institutions start open education projects with excitement about the possibilities of cross-departmental or cross-institutional collaboration, but often find it difficult to achieve truly effective partnerships.

Join us on October 29th for a webinar with 2024 OE Global Collaboration Award winner the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) and its members as they share how they’ve forged successful collaborations to publish high-quality, widely adopted open educational resources.

In this webinar we will:

- Explore strategies for effective collaboration

- Discover how to overcome barriers to cross-departmental and cross-institutional collaborations

- Learn how to balance the varying needs of stakeholders while aligning them toward shared goals, especially in creating localized and indigenous content

- Understand how collaboration can play a pivotal role in encouraging broader adoption of OER

Founded in 2001, Creative Commons has become one of the most used open licensing schemes for those engaging in open scholarship. Understanding the nuances and complexities of using these licenses in your work can be a daunting task, especially with the rise of content creators using outdated versions of licenses for profit.

This session will provide participants with a more in-depth understanding of Creative Commons licenses and some of the potential pitfalls when using and assigning licenses to your work.

Topics covered in this session include:

• Considerations for choosing an appropriate Creative Commons license

• Creative Commons licenses and open culture

• Why the legal code behind Creative Commons licenses matters

• How copyleft trolls take advantage of outdated licenses

• When Creative Commons licenses might not be appropriate for your work

Una rivista peer-reviewed in Diamond Open Access organizzata da volontari, senza istituzioni a supporto.

Molti di noi conoscono l’importanza di avere riviste in Diamond Open Access, solitamente in capo a istituzioni accademiche, dato che gli editori commerciali difficilmente praticano il Diamond.

E se considerassimo anche i vantaggi di una rivista ancora più libera, che propone il Diamond Open Access?

La maggiore liberà sta nel non dover rispondere a nessun marchio istituzionale; e di appartenere a una comunità eterogenea e transdisciplinare di studiosi che hanno a cuore il progresso della ricerca per la società e per la comunità.

Publikationen sind auch nur Daten: Schlaglichter auf den Zusammenhang von Open Access und Datafizierung

Klaus Rummler (Advanded Reseacher, Zentrum Bildung und Digitaler Wandel, PHZH)

Jan Steiner (Fachspezialist Open Access, Hochschulbibliothek, PHZH)

Die Digitalisierung, die wir in den vergangenen Jahren wahrgenommen haben, hat auch das Publikations- und Bibliothekswesen erfasst. Fast zeitgleich hat Open Access viel Bewegung und Veränderung mit sich gebracht. Damit einher ging vor allem eine Digitalisierung von Prozessen und Publikationen. In der abschliessenden Veranstaltung der Open Access Week 2024 wollen wir einige Schlaglichter auf Zusammenhänge zwischen Open Access und Datafizierung werfen – dies aus Sicht der Bibliothek der Pädagogischen Hochschule Zürich und anhand von Erfahrungen aus Diamond Open Access Zeitschriften.

Què cal per preparar una política de drets d'autoria de qualitat en revistes científiques?

Although the open access concept was originally developed to establish fair ways of disseminating knowledge and to overcome financial inequalities, the modern publishing landscape is often characterized by high publishing fees. The joint Diamond Open Access publishing house of FU Berlin, HU Berlin, TU Berlin and Charité offers its services to members of participating institutions without publication fees.

In this presentation, we will give a brief overview of our services and your options for publishing with BerlinUP Books.

After a presentation lasting around twenty minutes, there will be an opportunity to discuss questions.

Open Access Week 2024 is an opportunity to engage in a meaningful discussion on the approaches to Open Scholarship that prioritize the best interests of both the public and the academic community. The event will be held strictly online, providing valuable insights for academics, researchers, and students.

A Ciência Aberta é a atividade científica realizada de modo aberto, colaborativo e transparente, facilitando a partilha e a comunicação dos processos e resultados (dados, publicações e outros). Com o objetivo de sensibilizar e promover as práticas de ciência aberta junto da comunidade de investigadores, gestores de ciência, estudantes e do público em geral, a FCCN, serviços digitais da Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, promove, no âmbito das comemorações da semana internacional de ciência aberta, o evento intitulado "Ciência Aberta em Expansão: Novos Modelos, Avaliação e Dados Abertos".

In celebration of Open Access Week, the University of Chicago Library will host a webinar on October 24 featuring author John-Manuel Andriote discussing why he chooses to prioritize community over commercialization by granting open access to his book, Victory Deferred: How AIDS Changed Gay Life in America.

To mark the book’s 25th anniversary, Andriote as the rightsholder has chosen to turn Victory Deferred into an open access book for anyone around the world. He explains, “The value of Victory Deferred to the LGBT and broader American community—in its many accounts and insights from firsthand interviews with heroes and pioneers in the HIV-AIDS epidemic and the LGBT equality movement—exceeds my own commercial interests in the book.”

Please join us for the webinar, Rereading a Heroic Legacy: How AIDS Built the LGBT Equality Movement, for a discussion of why open access to an award-winning title matters societally and intellectually, especially in the face of continuing oppression against the fight for equality.

Generative AI has forced universities to contend with complex ethical and social questions—namely because writing is so deeply entrenched as an institutional gatekeeping. For many students, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds or for whom English is not a first language, the pressure to translate ideas into “proper” English contributes to attrition rates and exacerbates feelings of inadequacy, alienation, and exclusion from many academic communities.

From an equity and inclusion perspective, AI has the potential to disrupt institutional barriers by offering accessible tools that level the grammatical playing field. By functioning as virtual tutors or co-writers, AI systems can assist students in producing more polished and coherent prose, thus challenging the traditional hierarchies that privilege certain grammatical and stylistic norms. Instead of attempting to ban these tools (which is, to say the least, impractical), I side with a growing number of technology scholars who argue that we should focus on teaching students how to use generative AI responsibly and effectively. However, I do so with the caveat that teaching responsible AI use means critically engaging the complex and often messy processes that make AI what it is.

In this presentation, I draw from Indigenous theorists and authors to situate generative AI and large language models (LLMs) within a long colonial history of extraction. Just as colonial states declare Indigenous lands terra nullius, allowing settlers to exploit resources through mining, clear-cutting, and other forms of extraction, generative AI similarly depends on the unchecked extraction of data, including Indigenous knowledge and cultural resources, often without consent. The late Gregory Younging refers to this process as gnaritas nullius, the colonial rendering of Indigenous knowledge into public property. The unchecked extraction of writing, including, but not limited to, Indigenous knowledge, represents a new frontier for colonial capitalism, where cultural and intellectual property are commodified by those with the most access and power. As Nando de Freitas notes, the future of AI development depends on scale: those who control the largest datasets will have the greatest advantage and profit the most from AI. The numerous high-profile copyright cases against companies like OpenAI and Meta show that how this data is collected is treated as a secondary issue. This unbridled, dehumanizing race for data mirrors the extractive practices that have driven capitalist-colonial expansion for centuries. Building on these ideas, I mobilize the insights of Indigenous authors like Younging, Scott Lyons, and Cherie Dimaline to highlight strategies for resisting colonial extraction and challenging capitalist systems through rhetorical sovereignty and the concept of incommensurability. The goal is not to discourage the use of generative AI but, in the Faustian sense, to reveal the costs of embracing it, especially when it is employed to subvert oppressive institutional structures.
