The UK electronic information Group (UKeiG) is pleased to announce a half-day online CPD course on "Open Data and the Rise of Open Peer Review" from 2 pm to 5 pm on Thursday 10th December 2020. https://www.cilip.org.uk/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1424371&group=201314 Overview The concept of Open Access to research outputs has been common currency for many years. The rapid growth of the Internet has made different publication models easily available. More recent thinking has expanded the concept of openness even further, to Open Science. Open Data and Open Peer Review are attracting increasing interest and are being embraced by all academic disciplines, including the humanities and social sciences. These approaches are extremely important for the development and exploitation of research, and hence for the professionals who support it. Topics covered include: • Open Science – what it encompasses; the rationales given for instance by the OECD for its development • Open Data – what it is; principles, how it is managed; policy development, practical experiences of researchers • Open Peer Review – traditional peer review practice, the characteristics of Open Peer Review, definitions, the spread of Open Peer Review, role of repositories, overlay journals • Implications for the future - our world turned upside down Who should attend? Research support, information and library professionals keen to understand the impact of Open Data and Open Peer Review on publishing and on their organisations and current and future service provision. The key aim of the course is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of Open Data and Open Peer Review issues and to encourage discussion amongst library and information professionals who support research. It will benefit LIS professionals across all subjects, sectors and disciplines who are new to, interested in or need a refresher on these issues. Course leader David Ball is a consultant specialising in scholarly communication, e-books, virtual learning environments, design and management of academic libraries. As University Librarian and Head of Academic Development Services at Bournemouth University from 1994 to 2012, he created a vibrant library service, winning two major national awards. Since he became a consultant in 2012, Open Access clients include: Public Library of Science (PLoS), the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Public Health England, OAPEN, Enabling Open Scholarship (EOS). David was the SPARC Europe Project Officer on two major European Open Science projects: PASTEUR4OA (which aimed to support the development and implementation of policies to ensure Open Access to all outputs from publicly-funded research) and FOSTER (which aimed to support researchers to incorporate Open Science in their daily workflow). He has also worked on several SPARC Europe projects, including Open Data Champions.
