Les URFIST (Unités Régionales de Formation à l'Information Scientifique et Technique) organisent régulièrement depuis 2002 une « journée nationale d'étude » (JNE). En 2014 le thème d'étude retenu concernait les différentes formes de publication de la recherche et les modes de légitimation ou d'évaluation associés.

L'objectif de l'édition 2016 s'inscrit dans la continuité de la précédente : les données de la recherche (DR) constituent en effet une modalité relativement nouvelle de la publication des travaux, mais également de publicisation des données qui en sont le fondement. Ces Data sous-jacentes sont aussi concernées par le phénomène de l'Open Access dans la mesure où leurs conditions d'accessibilité et de réutilisation, permettent à la connaissance d'avancer, et à l'innovation d'émerger.

The 16th European Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) workshop will take place on Saturday 15th October as part of DC 2016 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Themes for the 16th NKOS workshop will be :

• KOS Alignment. KOS alignment or terminology mapping plays a vital role in NKOS for many years. This year we want to sort out the needs (use cases) of KOS alignments in the new environment of Linked Open Data. We plan to collect methodologies, best practices, guidelines and tools. This includes manual and automatic alignments.
• KOS Linked Open Data. Recent years have seen an increasing trend to publication of KOS as Linked Data vocabularies. We need discussion of practical initiatives to link between congruent vocabularies and provide effective web services and APIs so that applications can build upon them.
• Subject metadata for research data. With increasing recognition of the need to manage research data as part of universities research output, subject metadata represent particular challenges that need to be addressed from theoretical as well as practical perspectives. We plan to discuss existing issues, especially in terms of interoperability across disciplines as well as applications, and strive towards establishment of best practices and guidelines.

...

• KOS in e-Research metadata contexts - intersection between research data, KOS, Semantic web.

The Humanities at Scale (HaS) winter school will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, from the 24th to the 28th of October 2016. The event will be hosted by Charles University and is directly supported by DARIAH.EU. Humanities at Scale is a DARIAH-EU coordinated project, which is financed under the European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme. It aims at gathering scholars, publishers, librarians and other stakeholders interested by the issues raised by Open Access and Open Data through the question of Open Data Citation.

...

Regarding sources, the development of digital humanities during the past twenty years has increased the availability of research data in the humanities, in open access form, from a tremendous number of sources, in a broad heterogeneity of documents and formats : textual sources, qualitative and quantitative datasets, iconography, schemes, audio and video, etc. This permits the humanities and social sciences to be more and more involved in the Open Science movement experienced in other disciplines.

More generally, it is the very relation between research data and publication itself that modifies and constitutes an issue for the digital humanities, particularly through the question of data citation in the context of openness – how does one effectively cite data in the humanities for broad re-use and research impact ?

The winter school will therefore address the issue of Open Data in digital humanities by systematically exploring the themes and practices underpinning data citation in the broader context of Open Science.

The International Conferences on Research Infrastructures (ICRI) are a global forum in the Research Infrastructures domain. Providing unique opportunities to share insights in this field from around the world, we promote international cooperation.

The ICRI 2016 will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, from 3 to 5 October 2016. The conferences will be co-organised by the South African Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the European Commission.

Building on the conclusions of previous ICRIs, and the ongoing debates on Research Infrastructures in international fora, such as the Group of Senior Officials (GSO) and the OECD-Global Science Forum (GSF), a more structured approach to collaboration on global Research Infrastructures will be discussed with the international community. Here, the strategic importance of Research Infrastructures and exploring their role as a tool for Science Diplomacy will be underlined.

This five-day workshop is for individuals interested or actively engaged in the curation and management of research data for sharing and reuse, particularly data librarians, data archivists, and data producers and stewards with responsibilities for data management.

Participants will learn about best practices and tools for data curation, from selecting and preparing data for archiving to optimizing and promoting data for reuse. ICPSR social science quantitative datasets and UK Data Archive qualitative and cross-disciplinary data collections will serve as case studies and participants will track the datasets as they make their way through the data assessment, review, processing and curation pipeline.

Participants will learn about and gain proficiency in the full range of life cycle activities : data review and preparation ; confidential data management ; effective documentation practices ; how to create, comply with, and evaluate required data management plans ; digital repository requirements and assessment ; and running user support and promotional activities for data. Emphasis will be placed on hands-on exercises demonstrating curation practices and on discussion for sharing local experiences and learning from others. Additional context and expertise will be provided through invited keynote lectures by research data experts.

Participants will leave with knowledge and experience of how to review, assess, curate, and promote data collections for long-term preservation and access.

About ICDL 2016

...

Smart Future is about understanding, visualizing, and exploring the possible scenarios of the future today, to be able to better prepare ourselves. This will help us to design the future based on set goals. Better preparation for the future enables us to alter the direction of an entire marketplace, field, or to prepare industry or prepare for the outcome. It is also possible to make greater impact in the future through present actions.

Predicting the future, better preparing for the future and taking requisite actions to apply this knowledge to create the future - these are the three strategic objectives of Smart Future. This mega event, ICDL 2016, will uncover the processes related to these issues.

Having the strategic knowledge about the key trends that will shape our future might enable us to achieve success and it may make a difference in the world- innovate, create, discover or fix something that would touch millions. In simple terms, we are fast passing through the digitization era and entering into knowledge society. Therefore, the knowledge of associated technologies and processes is equally important to pursue. Knowledge of possible trends is essential in order to prepare to manage present risks and it will facilitate decision-making by converting challenges into opportunities in the future. While a deeper understanding on the trends that will shape the future is 50 per cent, the other half is about taking actions, designing innovations, formulating plans, and crafting strategies, tactics, and collaboration to shape the desired future. This is true on personal, organizational, national, and global levels.

Workshop objectives

This Workshop aims at becoming a forum to discuss ideas and advancements towards the revision of current scientific communication practices in order to support Open Science, introduce novel evaluation schemes, and enable reproducibility. As such it candidates as an event fostering collaboration between

(i) Library and information scientists working on the identification of new publication paradigms ;
(ii) ICT scientists involved in the definition of new technical solutions to these issues ;
(iii) scientists/researchers who actually conduct the research and demand tools and practices for Open Science.

The expected results are advancements in the definition of the next generation scientific communication ecosystem, where scientists can publish research results (including the scientific article, the data, the methods, and any “alternative” product that may be relevant to the conducted research) in order to enable reproducibility (effective reuse and decrease of cost of science) and rely on novel scientific reward practices.

Scope

The International Conference on Electronic Publishing (ELPUB) reaches its 21st anniversary ! ELPUB 2017 continues the tradition, and brings together scholars, publishers, lecturers, librarians, developers, entrepreneurs, users and all other stakeholders interested in issues regarding electronic publishing in widely differing contexts. ELPUB 2017 has a fresh look on the current ecosystem of scholarly publishing including the positioning of stakeholders and distribution of economic, technological and discursive power. ELPUB also opens the floor for emerging alternatives in how scholars and citizens interact with scholarly content and what role dissemination and publishing plays in these interactions. Questions to be raised include : What is the core of publishing today ? How does agenda setting in emerging frameworks like Open Science function and what is the nature of power of the referring scholarly discourses ? How does this relate to the European and world-wide Open Science and Open Innovation agenda of funders and institutions, and how does this look like in publishing practice ? The conference investigates the position and power of players and agents, - e.g. scholars and their networks, legacy and academia-owned publishers, research institutions and e-infrastructures - as well as their respective agendas. When looking at these interlinked topics, we aim to sharpen the view for current challenges and ways forward to reshape the publishing system.

The conference this year will focus on the diverse perspectives about Open Science, one of the most widely discussed topics in research communications today. Despite the common claims that Open Science improves transparency and accountability throughout the research life cycle while democratizing the knowledge production process, empirical research and conceptual validation of these ideas has been limited. In addition, there is a growing tendency to conceptualise Open Science as a set of conditions waiting to be met, without regard for regional differences, including cultural and historical contexts of knowledge production. We, therefore, invite researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds to share their results and ideas at what we hope will be a highly interactive forum.

Elpub is also exploring alternative models of interaction and co-creation between scholars and citizen scientists and the role of dissemination and publishing within these interactions. As such, the conference is open to a broad range of questions, including :

• Who determines the agenda and direction of emerging discourses around Open Science ?
• How does Open Science challenge the current positions and power of players and agents, - in developing and developed countries, with scholars and their networks, commercial and academia-based publishers, research institutions and e-infrastructures - as well as their respective agendas ?
• Are we seeing a converging global view of Open Science, or are there disciplinary, regional, and other differences that are important to consider ?
• What are the gaps between existing Open Science policies, regulatory frameworks, and implementation requirements and how should they be addressed ?
• How do Open Science agendas relate to the Open Innovation agendas of governments, funders and institutions ? What is the impact of these agendas on research funding and dissemination practices ?
