This one-day workshop gives an overview of developments in Open Access, Open Data and Open Science framed within the context of a disruptive technology.
Who should attend?
Information and library professionals keen to understand the impact of Open Access, Open Data and Open Science on their work, their institutions and the current and future services they provide for their users. Researchers with an interest in the changing nature of scientific scholarly communication and its impact on research impact.
The concept of Open Access to research outputs, such as journal articles, has been common currency for many years. More recent thinking has expanded the concept of openness even further, to Open Science (OS), which aims to transform science by making research more open, global, collaborative, creative and closer to society. This shift is extremely important for the development and exploitation of research, and hence for the professionals who support it. Delegates will be encouraged to raise questions and debate issues of immediate concern throughout the day.
UKeiG's trainer David Ball is a consultant specialising in scholarly publishing and support for the integration and efficient functioning of the increasingly diverse range of services in academic institutions. Specialisms include e-books, research and data repositories, virtual learning environments and the design and management of academic libraries.
