00:00:00
and he's a opening talk was change of culture towards the sharing culture and i
00:00:07
think this has been on the line by nearly every speaker so now uh really joined
00:00:14
uh we have been as a problem on joining us and uh she was putting an
00:00:18
emphasis on ensuring equity embracing community engagement and
00:00:25
she explained to us uh what uh equating
00:00:28
means for spock europe and the former and in particular she put some emphasis on
00:00:34
a publishing it open access should be like no cost that means this is more in
00:00:41
the direction of the diane diamond uh open access a model where are spock europe pro
00:00:47
produced with partners uh and are still and i and i think a very interesting study
00:00:54
they they were just out of finishing how from this study i read on something that i
00:01:00
didn't know before which i think is interesting is that more than fifty percent of the the wage
00:01:05
you journals uh they do not retain copyright for what is all the publication watch what you
00:01:12
were just so this is still out control change
00:01:15
in progress and even in the open access journals
00:01:20
she was also have underlies him for a sissy by
00:01:23
by default which i think it's a very uh um
00:01:28
revolutionary message even though it was heard already before about
00:01:32
uh it is really know if an important message again
00:01:37
and she finished her presentation uh expanding as some of the aspects
00:01:41
of a group you dealing with open science infrastructures and their house
00:01:47
the hell see open sense interjected infrastructures today um we've just there
00:01:53
was specific question on um how do they sustain once in operations
00:01:59
and this is something that is a very hot very close to
00:02:02
my heart as well because as coordinator of a program that is um
00:02:07
a seating money program or starting
00:02:09
money programmed helping projects to startles project
00:02:14
but not having the funds to sustain the operations or since for structures
00:02:20
then this sustainability john issue was actually mentioning
00:02:24
is back is actually what uh should drive the
00:02:28
objectives of all these pilot projects uh in our program how
00:02:32
would they sustain in the long run um then we have the
00:02:39
presentation by x. in my own and um x. then explain to
00:02:44
us the status of the open access action plan today with the
00:02:49
very strong focus on the negotiations uh we heard that the tree
00:02:54
retreat big publishers that too we were negotiating in the last few months
00:02:59
two of them have a wouldn't publish agreements today and the last
00:03:02
one is to the uh in the situation he also mentioned something that
00:03:09
um the delegation open science is actually now i'm thinking of getting
00:03:14
mandates to the consortium to extend these negotiations too hard to publishers and
00:03:20
not only the big tree but other publishers so to a further
00:03:24
develop the transformation to to open access and he also mentioned finally that
00:03:30
uh the policy guidelines and the communication awareness campaign of physicians does
00:03:35
uh had already started and we're already progressing quite well with policy guidelines
00:03:40
that are already published then at the end of the morning we
00:03:45
have three presentations of tree protrude projects that or project within the scientific
00:03:51
she program that are dealing uh with aspects very close to open access
00:03:57
uh the first uh a presentation was by the media um okay on on sonar
00:04:03
and uh he presented us the tree different objectives of some harm the most um
00:04:09
operating one that being the infrastructure uh running
00:04:13
as a service and this is the institutional repository
00:04:18
um that is run so this uh which is
00:04:21
in the testing phase invited institutions to contact him
00:04:25
uh to contact the projects to to be involved in testing phase about suisse cause his
00:04:31
costs is a very good example of an
00:04:34
existing project that already tackles a very important issue
00:04:38
of the pro program uh that we are just launching today but it started already with scores
00:04:45
um in that contributes and have our help
00:04:48
suites on contributes to the scores work uh in
00:04:52
in the global environment not only open but at the global scale and this is in response to
00:04:59
uh what's of honest heart told us in the morning uh but
00:05:03
spock european goals strongly in schools and history scores project is actually
00:05:07
contributing to these efforts as well and finally we had uh
00:05:13
this was presented by nicholas after we and we had all backed up ugly
00:05:16
now introducing us near unit and uh what i retain from yeah in a is
00:05:23
that uh uh we have here very special project in the scientific information program that
00:05:29
has on this to the importance of not only fair data but fair in college
00:05:34
and extending actually um this essential element for inter operability
00:05:41
and we'd usability and she was actually calling for semantic
00:05:45
or probably would operability this is what really than the
00:05:49
uh in the uh tools already developing very strong way
00:05:53
and not only for humans but especially for computers to make uh
00:05:58
the ontology and uh into operability facilitated for computers as well uh
00:06:07
then we had the lunch break and i hope you all a
00:06:12
four oh one of the sessions i actually could uh uh go
00:06:15
from one to the others but i didn't uh uh make in
00:06:18
the summary for that and um i take on now the talk
00:06:23
of coverage and that this afternoon after my talk and i will
00:06:27
come back to my talk because i don't do a summary of my
00:06:30
off but uh for janet i what i um keep from her
00:06:37
presentation uh very shortly is that a revolution is required and a
00:06:44
revolution is required for knowledge sharing so she came back on this
00:06:49
very nice or um concept of knowledge sharing and stating front seats
00:06:56
at the third principles are essential to the open sense revolution and
00:07:01
she was even uh i'm proposing something in the direction that the
00:07:05
pair is thinking about is the the the the time imagine plants
00:07:09
should be part of the research out common search results that should be
00:07:13
actually open access themselves and that could be even readable
00:07:17
by computers so this was a kind of a kind
00:07:21
of a question for location because this is not done yet in a systematic way but it is a a
00:07:27
very uh a good proposal in the sense of developing
00:07:30
open science she was also advocating for connected open signs
00:07:35
infrastructures and for a ask and even the link to
00:07:41
chaos she was mentioning a very interesting project that um
00:07:47
has been developing in the last uh eighteen months or you nearly two years to connect alum
00:07:53
led by switch but with several suisse partners involved a
00:07:58
developing uh serves a very interesting potential service is coordinated
00:08:04
by switch transforming meta data into linked open data through
00:08:09
a knowledge trough in the pipeline and um she also
00:08:13
informed us and this is also a news for me
00:08:16
that's which is uh applying for a host membership which
00:08:21
i think uh is also important uh we need some institutions to apply for a also but we also need
00:08:27
some um groupings and some strength strong corporation from
00:08:32
switch fronts in the also and this will help
00:08:35
how sweet and to progress incorporating we at european
00:08:38
level she also mention one other thing which i
00:08:43
what is that research libraries are essential to
00:08:46
the success of the open science development and i
00:08:50
noted for myself and to do of course uh open science program as well so we expect
00:08:56
to have more projects coming from libraries um that in the next program that to finish um
00:09:04
what we had quite a fascinating challenge as described
00:09:10
in the panel danielle thank you for a um
00:09:13
having these challenges listed then questions posed what i take
00:09:17
kept from the panel is uh the first notes it's that
00:09:23
open science requires technical and so slighted components together it
00:09:27
should not be come a technocratic perspective so it should keep
00:09:32
in mind this change of culture disengagement and this is
00:09:37
coming back to the talks we had in the mornings all
00:09:39
the emphasis should be in the change of culture more
00:09:43
than in the technical aspects and that um we were also
00:09:49
made aware that there is a teen challenge which uh
00:09:53
we released today as well it's a uh it's not you
00:09:57
it's not easy to involve scientists themselves in
00:10:00
this open science uh change of culture although they
00:10:04
are actually that k. the key actors as well so we need to find solutions how to
00:10:10
talk to them right now too involved in more than the pen and had a very interesting
00:10:16
discussion on your review when open peer review does well uh we can thank all of you
00:10:21
a contributing to the chat because there were questions on that and
00:10:27
uh what tidy keep from this discussion is the um statement that there
00:10:32
is a lack of evidence on the quality of the peer review
00:10:35
system today and that open to review has the potential to improve what's
00:10:40
and that uh that's an f. is moving uh in this the were comply into
00:10:45
research quality um process and is interested in that i i also noted that noted
00:10:53
that um i peer review itself should be more considered and credit to the artist
00:11:00
colour activity not only publishing papers but reviewing papers is very important and should be
00:11:05
uh oh are recognised as such and this is going in the direction
00:11:09
of raw i get there was is not the point discussed within the
00:11:15
panel which was a referring to inclusiveness and a creaky so it's even
00:11:21
some a call to the equity that was presented by vanessa in the morning
00:11:25
and here we heard um the absolute
00:11:28
emergency of avoiding business models to implement themselves
00:11:34
in a permanent away thought or actually i'm not a very ideal so to get some
00:11:41
computer adversity also in the business models that are implemented is important
00:11:47
to avoid the high risk um and to promote the disruptive approaches
00:11:53
and the let me recall you that in the program i just announced in d.
00:11:57
beginning of the afternoon we have an action line
00:12:00
that is called alternative forms of publications exactly for
00:12:04
that so i hope to proposals uh we hold all we all hope to bid proposals in in
00:12:11
this action line i and i'm in the same
00:12:17
line that we heard also um that institutions are
00:12:22
not adopting door as fast as they could or
00:12:25
has the shoot and this was actually complemented by um
00:12:35
a statement that was for me very important we
00:12:38
should avoid letting money decide about the quality of signs
00:12:42
science has been in some way appropriated
00:12:45
by the business and economic uh games
00:12:49
and uh it should be re appropriated to scientists themselves uh
00:12:53
with the help of institutions and libraries and all the stakeholders of
00:12:57
the current program so this is actually um statement that is important um
00:13:03
sounds quality should not depend on on on the and that comes a little bit back to we should be
00:13:09
able to publish open access reasonable cost we were also
00:13:14
discussing the panel about university presses um as an option
00:13:19
and here we heard that uh we should avoid the the one
00:13:23
size fits all um issue uh this is a this is a challenge
00:13:28
that question was also close to um internet and uh janet was also mentioning
00:13:34
the issue of others it sounding for university press uh uh the only possibility
00:13:39
would be you have to have it and to linger one and really heard a
00:13:45
final statements from some of the honest about um the to research certification this uh
00:13:51
is important not only publication but the
00:13:54
data research uh hasn't is becoming very important
00:13:59
um publications are not anymore in the centre is the tire out is becoming
00:14:03
the centre and so we or some in some way in the need of
00:14:09
of having certification in recognition for this occasion experiments innovate has a change of
00:14:17
kilter contribution this is actually statements that
00:14:21
invites you um or invites the whole community
00:14:24
it's a needed invitation to the whole community to be more experimental
00:14:29
to be more normative um to develop into the open access action
00:14:34
plan you forms and um as again the was the second time
00:14:42
statement on the peace on the pace of change which is too slow
00:14:47
uh that was on the best on special insight in institutions level so yes that i want
00:14:52
to finish with this positive statement of much yes i we are moving in the right direction and
00:14:59
uh um this was you might yes and i think it's right uh we do it step
00:15:03
by step uh slowly and uh this is actually
00:15:06
what uh any change of culture is mandatory um
00:15:10
to do um changing culture in from one day to another is just not possible but
00:15:19
in this hoped might just you are also saying and this is the last word we
00:15:23
should make sure that we sustain a system in which would but it's published last but
00:15:30
with more quality that's closing and uh my remarks and then i also have the pleasure
00:15:40
to finish this little overview to give some thank you first tool through all
00:15:49
the speakers of today uh we don't you this event would not have been
00:15:53
possible so oh thank you for your uh contributions even though you're not physically with us
00:15:59
uh i think next year or the next conferences we can actually convene physically um then
00:16:07
i want to thank a tenth ave our host today and specially it inasmuch which she
00:16:12
was actually a very instrumental in the organising
00:16:16

00:16:28
is walking position of a citizen she did a great job on that i want to thank our guides
00:16:36
today and the there are two of you kayla uh
00:16:40
andre and danielle for the panel thank you for um
00:16:46
return the questions for any meeting this a conference even though it was
00:16:51
not so easy because uh uh some technical issues where i'm not helping us
00:16:57
so much in the morning specially and um i want to finish by
00:17:02
thanking all all of you the participants uh for having stayed with us today

you to participate so please think about collaborating and submitting proposals to the
00:17:19
program um and uh we hope to see your proposals very soon coming
