Getting Out From the Back of the Sofa: Sustainable Funding for Open Access Books

In recent years, several new initiatives have emerged that harness the power of small contributions from many member libraries to fund OA monographs. In this workshop we will reflect on how these new models have fared and pose a provocative question: how will they achieve sustainability? Together we will explore how we can find reliable income streams for OA books, and not just rely on money found “down the back of the sofa”. Full abstract for “Getting Out from the Back of the Sofa”.

Workshop organizer: Tom Grady (Birkbeck, University of London)

Maximum 30 participants.

Open Science in Peril: What is that new Open Science game?

Join us for the launch of a new open science quiz game! In Open Science in Peril teams compete against each other to find the questions to the answers we all have… Or do we? In this session, you can test your open science knowledge in a fun, engaging and social way. Or perhaps, you will learn a few new questions you didn’t know you had the answer to? Bring your smartypants and thinking cap, you’ll be assigned a team when you join the session, where four teams will play against each other to win enough money to cover the APC of your article. Will you be able to publish, or will you end up having to withdraw your article due to lack of funds?

Workshop organizers: Katrine Sundsbø (DOAJ), Aisling Coyne (TU Dublin), Sarah Coombs (Saxion University of Applied Sciences)

Maximum 30 participants.

Hopping on the AI train? Ethical and practical considerations for the adoption of AI tools in research and higher education

(In the registration form, this workshop is referred to as “AI and Research Ethics”)

The most recent wave of developments in artificial intelligence (AI) has commanded both awe and apprehension about what these innovations mean for the future of science, scholarly communication, and librarianship. In this workshop we will discuss ethical and practical implications of AI-based tools for academic writing and research. There are questions regarding how and when to use the tools, how to use them responsibly, how to avoid plagiarism, who has the copyright of the outputs, and what are the implications of using the tools and the outputs. Researchers, library staff and research administrators interested in these questions are welcome to join us in the workshop. Full abstract for “Hopping on the AI train”.

Workshop organizers: Andrea Alessandro Gasparini (University of Oslo), Leticia A. Nogueira (Nord University), Eystein Gullbekk (University of Oslo), Heli Kautonen (Finnish Literature Society), Hilde Westbye (University of Oslo), Vidar Rongved (Nord University)

Maximum 40 participants.
