[GOAL] Emergent and future innovations in peer review - collaborative F1000 article published

[Ross-Hellauer, Anthony]

Dear all,

Forgive the self-publicity (I'm a co-author), but I'd like to alert 
list-members to a new major collaborative review on peer review that has now 
been published on F1000 and is open for comments, entitled: "A 
multi-disciplinary perspective on emergent and future innovations in peer 
review [version 1; referees: awaiting peer review]" 
https://f1000research.com/articles/6-1151/v1

The paper, developed and written openly online over the course of a year by 33 
international collaborators (led by Jon Tennant), is an attempt to provide an 
authoritative cross-disciplinary synthesis on the state-of-the-art in peer 
review and its possible future directions.

As per F1000's publishing model, this is version one of the paper and it is 
currently awaiting reviewers and peer review. We're already collecting sources 
and comments in anticipation of version 2 and would really welcome your 
feedback (via the open commenting enabled at the link above).

With best wishes,
Tony Ross-Hellauer

 With apologies for cross-posting ***

Dear all,

As you have perhaps seen, OpenAIRE, along with our partner EC-funded 
initiatives OpenUP, OpenMinTeD, and  FOSTER, will hold the Open Science Fair in 
Athens, Greece 6-8 September 2017. The aim of the event is to showcase the 
elements required for the transition to Open Science: e-infrastructures and 
services, policies as guidance for good practices, research flows and new types 
of activities (disseminate, mine, review, assess, etc.), and the roles of the 
respective actors and their networks.
Registrations are still open for this exciting event: 
http://www.opensciencefair.eu/register

The preliminary programme is now online and promises a great line-up of 
speakers (http://www.opensciencefair.eu/speakers) and workshops 
(http://www.opensciencefair.eu/workshops).

>From keynote talks from John Ioannidis and Jeffrey Sachs, to plenaries on 
>topics like diversity in Open Science 
>(http://www.opensciencefair.eu/speakers), and interactive workshops on all 
>elements of the Open Science agenda, the event will be a great chance to keep 
>up-to-date on crucial OS issues and to contribute to moving the agenda to make 
>scholarship more equitable, reproducible and inclusive forward.

We hope to see you there!

OpenAIRE survey: open peer review is moving mainstream

OpenAIRE today releases the results of its survey conducted in Autumn 2016, 
which gauged the views towards open peer review (OPR) of over 3,062 editors, 
authors and reviewers. The report, entitled "OpenAIRE survey on open peer 
review: Attitudes and experience amongst editors, authors and reviewers" shows 
that open peer review is moving mainstream, with high levels of enthusiasm and 
experience amongst those surveyed.

Read the report: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.570864

Report Abstract: Open peer review (OPR) is a cornerstone of the emergent Open 
Science agenda. Yet to date no large-scale survey of attitudes towards OPR 
amongst academic editors, authors, reviewers and publishers has been 
undertaken. This paper presents the findings of an online survey, conducted for 
the OpenAIRE2020 project during September and October 2016, that sought to 
bridge this information gap in order to aid the development of appropriate OPR 
approaches by providing evidence about attitudes towards and levels of 
experience with OPR. The results of this cross-disciplinary survey, which 
received 3,062 full responses, show the majority of respondents to be in favour 
of OPR becoming mainstream scholarly practice, as they also are for other areas 
of Open Science, like Open Access and Open Data. We also observe surprisingly 
high levels of experience with OPR, with three out of four (76.2%) respondents 
reporting having taken part in an OPR process as either author, reviewer or 
editor. There were also high levels of support for most of the traits of OPR, 
particularly open interaction, open reports and final-version commenting. 
Respondents were against opening reviewer identities to authors, however, with 
more than half believing it would make peer review worse. Overall satisfaction 
with the peer review system used by scholarly journals seems to strongly vary 
across disciplines. Taken together, these findings are very encouraging for 
OPR's prospects for moving mainstream but indicate that due care must be taken 
to avoid a "one-size fits all" solution and to tailor such systems to differing 
(especially disciplinary) contexts. More research is also needed. OPR is an 
evolving phenomenon and hence future studies are to be encouraged, especially 
to further explore differences between disciplines and monitor the evolution of 
attitudes.

publication. The authors gratefully invite comments until 22 May 2017 here on

[GOAL] OpenCon 2016 Berlin 24-26th November 2016

[Ross-Hellauer, Anthony]

Dear list members,

ScienceOpen, OpenAIRE 
and Digital Science (with portfolio companies 
Figshare and Overleaf) are 
pleased to announce that the programme for our OpenCon 2016 Berlin satellite 
event, to be held 24-26th November 2016, is now online. We hope you'll agree 
it's pretty awesome :)

OpenCon is the student and early career academic professional conference that 
focuses on Open Access, Open Education, and Open Data. It seeks to empower the 
next generation to advance openness in research and education. This event will 
form one of the many international satellite events of the bigger OpenCon 2016 
 conference that will take place two weeks earlier 
in Washington, DC. OpenCon satellite events are organised by those (like us!) 
who are passionate about communicating the important messages of Open 
Information with the world, and are welcome to anyone interested in joining the 
conversation and connecting with a community of like-minded individuals.

Our event kicks off on Thursday 24th Nov with an epic hackathon / collaborative 
coding event where, amongst other activities decided by YOU, we'll have a 
reproducibility hack where we attempt to reproduce the analysis and figures of 
a paper from the raw data! Our keynote speaker on Friday will be Julia 
Reda MEP - a woman on a mission to 
reform copyright legislation. Alongside presentations and interesting talks 
made by those who have benefited and gained from open information, we'll run 
focused workshops on themes you'll choose via crowdsourcing. During the event, 
we will run a few short and themed focus group sessions; in each session we 
hope to start a conversation where people share advice and success stories 
about Open Science. Saturday will see discussion-groups whose themes we'll 
crowdsource during the event. Discussions and resources will be collated via 
open documents like etherpads and collected as outputs.

For the programme, and to RSVP to join the more than 100(!) participants who 
have already signed up for the event, see here:

[GOAL] New report on OpenAIRE’s experiments with Open Peer Review

[Ross-Hellauer, Anthony]

Dear all,

For this last day of Peer Review week, OpenAIRE is releasing a new report 
detailing three experiments in Open Peer Review 
(https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.154647). All readers are invited to give their 
open feedback here: https://blogs.openaire.eu/?p=1269

More details are below.

Best, Tony Ross-Hellauer

** From the OpenAIRE blog: https://blogs.openaire.eu/?p=1269 **


As part of its mission to further Open Science and investigate how openness and 
transparency can improve scientific processes, OpenAIRE has been conducting a 
range of activities investigating the new models of peer review to literature 
and beyond that fall under the term “Open Peer Review” (OPR). Amongst other 
activities like our OPR workshop, 
stakeholder 
survey
 and (ongoing) attempt to formalise the definition of OPR, in late 2015/early 
2016, OpenAIRE played host to three innovative experiments that aimed at 
promoting experimentation in OPR, studying its effects in the context of 
digital infrastructures for open scholarship, and investigating ways in which 
OPR technologies might integrate with OpenAIRE’s infrastructure. The three 
experiments were diverse in their aims and methods:
§  Open Scholar and their consortium aimed to 
turn repositories into functional evaluation platforms by building an open peer 
review module for integration with Open Access repositories and then 
implementing this module in two high-profile institutional repositories.
§  The Winnower sought to integrate the Winnower 
platform with repositories like Zenodo via DOIs and APIs to facilitate open 
peer review of repository objects, as well as offering financial incentives to 
encourageopen participation in the sharing of ‘journal club’ reviews and 
documenting user experiences via survey.
§  OpenEdition aimed to use open services 
such as the annotation software hypotheses.org and OpenEdition’s platform for 
academic blogs to model a workflow (selection, review and revision) that would 
develop blog articles into peer reviewed publications in the Humanities and 
Social Sciences.

The full report of the outcomes of these experiments is now available via 
Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.154647

We would very much welcome and feedback on this report from any and all 
interested parties. This could take the form of a formal review of the report 
as publication, a comment on your judgement of the value of the work contained 
therein, or just a quick note to advise of any formatting/language issues that 
should be addressed in any future version.

Please make use of the commentary function of this blogpost to leave your 
feedback on the report. All comments will be gratefully received: 
https://blogs.openaire.eu/?p=1269

NOTE: OpenAIRE would also like to know what you think about open peer review! 
Take part in our survey until here  until 7th 
October!

[GOAL] Announcing the new and improved Zenodo!

[Ross-Hellauer, Anthony]

**With apologies for cross-posting**

CERN and OpenAIRE are delighted to announce the launch of the new and improved 
Zenodo, the open repository for all research outputs!

Upload files of up to 50GB, track releases with improved Github integration, 
link H2020 research with OpenAIRE automatically, get faster results!

WHAT'S NEW?
The Zenodo team is very excited to share this new release, the culmination of 
more than 10 months of development, which marks a major milestone in enhancing 
Zenodo's capabilities to keep pace with the always developing demands of Open 
Science. Here are just some of the new features:


· Faster - when searching, uploading a file or using the REST API, 
you'll notice that the new Zenodo is an order of magnitude more responsive.

· Better search - accuracy and speed have been significantly improved 
thanks to the brand new search backend powered by Elasticsearch, coupled with a 
new search user interface.

· Big Data ready - the current 2GB per file limit is removed, in favour 
of up to 50GB per dataset. All thanks to our new storage backend powered by 
CERN EOS disk system which hosts more than 100 petabytes of High-Energy Physics

Hi Eric, all,

I completely agree with this. Especially because it could potentially be called 
the SSHArXiv!

Cue jaws theme ...

This type of venue is essential and certainly welcomed for the social sciences. 
Yet, it would be even greater a place if it also included the humanities and

fewer authors on average on scholarly papers (1 to 2 authors on average) 
compared to the natural sciences (5 authors on average) and the health sciences 
(6 co-authors on average on papers). This means each social scientist and 
humanities scholar has considerably more work to make papers available in OA. 
Whereas authors in the natural sciences can afford to self-archive only 20% of 
the papers on average to have all the material available in OA, in the 
humanities, because of the sole authorship common in this domain of scholarly 
activity, 100% of the papers have to be self-archived. The level of effort is 
somewhat mitigated by the fact that output is commensurably reduced (as all the 
work of writing papers falls to a single person, rather than to a fifth or a 
sixth of a person). Still, the easier it is to archive, the more likely SSH 
scholars will be likely to self-archive. Would be nice if SocArXiv became a 
more inclusive AHSocArxiv. We have enough of the incoherent inclusion policies 
of arXiv, inclusiveness should be celebrated in OA – we should no longer be 
divided and conquered.

Subject: [GOAL] SocArXiv debuts, as SSRN acquisition comes under scrutiny


The arrival of a new preprint server for the social sciences called SocArXiv 
comes just a month after news that Elsevier is acquiring the Social Science 
Research Network (SSRN), a preprint repository and online community founded in 
1994 by two researchers.


Given the concern and disappointment expressed over the SSRN purchase by 
researchers, it is no surprise that the launch of SocArXiv has been very well 
received. Still smarting from Elsevier’s 2013 acquisition of Mendeley – another 
formerly independent service for managing and sharing scholarly papers – many 
(especially OA advocates) were appalled to hear that the publisher has bought a 
second OA asset. The reasons for this were encapsulated in a blog post by 
University of Iowa law professor Paul Gowder entitled “SSRN has been captured 
by the enemy of open knowledge”.


This concern has also attracted the attention of the Federal Trade Commission 
(FTC) which has launched a review of the SSRN purchase. The FTC is currently 
contacting many institutions and experts in scholarly publishing to assess the 
implications of the acquisition, presumably in order to decide whether it needs 
to intervene in some way.


Elsevier is understandably keen to downplay the interest the US government is 
showing in its latest acquisition. “The Federal Trade Commission is conducting 
a routine, informal review of our acquisition of the Social Sciences Research 
network,” vice president and head of global corporate relations at Elsevier Tom 
Reller emailed me. “Elsevier’s interest in SSRN is and has been about SSRNs’ 
ethos, a place where it is free to upload, and free to download. We are working 
cooperatively with the FTC, and believe that the review will conclude 
favourably.”


In other words, Elsevier does not believe the FTC’s interest in its purchase 
will lead to a formal investigation.


But however timely SocArXiv’s launch may be, the service is not a response to 
the SSRN acquisition, the director of the new service, and professor of 
sociology at the University of Maryland, Philip Cohen assured me. “We were 
already in planning before we heard about the SSRN purchase.”

[GOAL] Infrastructure is Invisible / Infrastructure is Law

[Ross-Hellauer, Anthony]

Hi all,

(Sorry in advance for the self-promotion)

Just to let you know about a new post on the OpenAIRE blog that might be of 
interest to list members: "Infrastructure is Invisible / Infrastructure is 
Law"

TL;DR: As both Geoffrey Bilder and Martin Heidegger tell us, infrastructure is 
usually invisible and we only notice it when something goes wrong. This is 
profoundly problematic for scholarly communications, since infrastructure is 
also law - it shapes thoughts and actions. Luckily, moments of breakdown (like 
the SSRN sell-off) help illuminate problems with the system and call on us to 
change what is broken.

Excerpt: "moments of breakdown can be illuminative. Casting off the fog of the 
everyday, they allow us to see our tools anew and to appreciate how integral 
they are to our lives. They can also be cathartic occasions for reappraisal, 
for rethinking the nature of this invisible infrastructure in which we usually 
unthinkingly invest our trust. We must seize such moments constructively. The 
"blue screen of death," for example, is a reminder to practice good research 
data management in the future (and maybe think about switching to LINUX or 
Apple). SSRN's sell-off, as I've said 
elsewhere, is an opportunity to reassess the 
role of such platforms in the research endeavor and to discuss anew the kinds 
of governance safeguards we should demand from them. Such reflection is 
crucial, because although it is boring or often invisible, infrastructure pays 
a constitutive role in scientific discourse, which is to say: infrastructure is 
law."

Thanks, Tony

[GOAL] “After SSRN: Hallmarks of trust for subject repositories” - OpenAIRE blog post

[Ross-Hellauer, Anthony]

Dear list subscribers,

Just to alert you to a new post on the OpenAIRE blog that might be of interest 
to you, entitled “After SSRN: Hallmarks of trust for subject repositories”.

In the aftermath of the recent sale of the social sciences pre-print and 
publishing community platform SSRN to Elsevier, I offer a personal view on the 
nature of trust in community platforms and the need to make clear the hallmarks 
of trust for subject repositories, namely open governance, open source, open 
data.

Excerpt:

The issue here is not that the company has been sold, nor that it has been sold 
to Elsevier specifically (though the fact that the buyer is the bête noire of 
the open access narrative surely doesn’t help). There is of course a place for 
private companies in the scholarly communications ecosystem. Running a 
for-profit is undoubtedly very hard and for many small companies, acquisition 
is their long term exit strategy. The issue here is not public versus private 
but rather a wider one of trust. Services like Mendeley or SSRN are ”social” in 
nature – built to a large extent upon the contributions of their communities of 
users.  If communities of users bring much of the value that fuels services 
like SSRN, why should they be content to take at face value promises which 
might quickly disintegrate once they come into conflict with money-making? 
Surely these communities deserve a stake in deciding what happens to those 
services. Had users known that SSRN would eventually sell to Elsevier, many 
would not have joined in the first place. Now that they have, many would like 
to take their community elsewhere – with former users like  Paul 
Gowder
 already discussing starting a new open repository for the social sciences, for 
example. These issues lead naturally to the questions: what does an “open 
repository” look like? How are users to identify one, and upon which criteria 
should librarians and others responsible for recommending such services decide 
whether a service is to be recommended?
See: https://blogs.openaire.eu/?p=933

Apologies if not relevant to you!

Best to all

Tony

Re: [GOAL] Re : Re: SSRN Sellout to Elsevier

[Ross-Hellauer, Anthony]

Hi,

I guess these numbers are just for where PURE is being used for IRs, but PURE 
is more commonly-used as CRIS software – which wouldn’t show in OpenDOAR.

Elsevier claims 200 PURE implementations: 
https://www.elsevier.com/solutions/pure/who-uses-pure

But with convergence/interoperability for CRISs and IRs big on institutional 
agendas, this remains an issue for OA advocates.

Hi Ross (et al.),
Out of curiosity I had to check the amount of Pure instances as you mentioned 
that many institutional repositories run on Pure.

Checking openDOAR’s registry of repositories (http://www.opendoar.org/) I find 
16 PURE-repositories listed, whereas e.g. Eprints has +400 instances and DSpace 
has +1300 instances. However I am not at all sure to what degree openDOAR is 
containing exhaustive data (or rather I am quite sure it doesn’t) -it is either 
lacking data about PURE instances – or if not, I do not agree that they are 
many..

They bought Atira back in 2012 which created PURE which is the software that

I presume it reports back all information to Elsevier so they can further 
monetise academic IP.

Shame on SSRN.

Of course we know exactly why Elsevier acquired SSRN (and Mendeley):

It's to retain their stranglehold over a domain (peer-reviewed 
scholarly/scientific research publishing) in which they are no longer needed, 
and in which they would not even have been able to gain as much as a foothold 
if it had been born digital, instead of being inherited as a legacy from an 
obsolete Gutenberg era.

I don't know about Arxiv (needless centralization and its concentrated expenses 
are always vulnerabe to faux-benign take-overs) but what's sure is that the 
distributed network of Green institutional repositories worldwide  is not for 
sale, and that is their strength...

[GOAL] Re: Inside Higher Ed: All six editors and all 31 editorial board members of Lingua resign over Elsevier

[Ross-Hellauer, Anthony]

Dear Jeffrey,

I'm sorry but this comparison is simply false.

To ban is to officially proscribe something 
(http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/ban).

Guedon's call is to boycott 
(http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/boycott) this journal.

Libraries, of course, have no power to "ban" journals. They do, however, have 
the power to decide whether or not to subscribe to them.

Urging people not to purchase something is hence not the same as prohibition, 
nor even to call for it. It is rather a use of free-speech to appeal to others 
to boycott a product on ethical grounds (which I, btw, wholeheartedly echo).

With best wishes,

I think that Guedon's advice to "Remove access to Lingua going forward" is the 
moral equivalent of a book banning.

There's no moral difference between saying "Remove access to Lingua" and saying 
"Remove the book Heather Has Two Mommies."

I understand that all book banners (and journal banners) think they are doing 
the right thing and helping society.

I think it is shameful for anyone, especially a librarian, to call for the 
removal of content from a library.

Guedon is the modern-day equivalent of a book banner. He is pressuring 
libraries to ban serials, the same, morally, as banning books.

I am posting this message on behalf of Jean-Claude Guédon:


The article below (thanks to Colin Steele) is an example of a courageous move 
that must be supported by the libraries.

With regard to the Lingua (now Glossa) editorial board, libraries could, for 
example,

1. Remove access to Lingua going forward (keep access to archive up to December 
31st, 2015) if caught in a Big Deal; remove Lingua from subscriptions, starting 
in 2016, if not in a Big Deal

2. Support Glossa (the new journal) financially,

3. Promote Glossa widely. ERIH is already classifying the new journal at the 
level of its current status by arguing that the quality of a journal is linked 
to the editors and editorial board, and not to the publisher.

Researchers in linguistics, of course, should boycott Elsevier's Lingua from 
now on.

This event also demonstrates the importance for Learned and scientific 
societies not to sell the title of their journals to publishers. So long as we 
foolishly evaluate research according to the place where it is published (i.e. 
a journal title), publishers will hold a strong trump card.

Finally, this event displays the incredible behaviour of the multinational, 
commercial, publishers with particular clarity. These are not the friends of 
the scientific communication system we need.

Extract from Inside Higher Ed article:

"All six editors and all 31 editorial board members of Lingua, one of the top 
journals in linguistics, last week resigned to protest Elsevier's policies on 
pricing and its refusal to convert the journal to an open-access publication 
that would be free online. As soon as January, when the departing editors' 
noncompete contracts expire, they plan to start a new open-access journal to be 
called Glossa."
