Digital Scholarship & Scholarly Communication 101

Initial session of a staff development/continuing education program on digital scholarship and scholarly communication topics for University of Wisconsin-Madison librarians. This "101" workshop is intended to be useful to everyone at all levels of awareness and experience on these topics. Begins with a discussion of what we mean when we talk about digital scholarship and scholarly communication; provides overview information on several specific topics that fit under this broad umbrella; facilitates discussion about how these topics relate to the work each of us in the library are doing.

15. Definition Scholarly communication is the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use. -2003 ACRL statement
16. Definition Digital scholarship is the use of digital evidence, methods of inquiry, research, publication and preservation to achieve scholarly and research goals. Digital scholarship can encompass both scholarly communication using digital media and research on digital media. -Wikipedia

27. Traditional Process Authors’ Rights
28. Open Access Publishing • Making information freely available online • Usually allows users to do more with the content than provided by copyright law alone • Any published material could be made “open access” if the author and publisher arrange for it • They could agree to make it available in a repository (green) or within a published journal itself (gold) • Publisher policies vary widely
29. Open Access Policies • Establish a “default” set of access and use rights the institution retains unless a publisher arranges otherwise with the author • Some of these policies mandate authors provide a copy of the appropriate version of their article to the institutional repository • These policies do not limit the places authors can choose to publish
30. Public Access Requirements • Many organizations or agencies that fund research require the results of the research to be made available to the public. • Each funding agency sets its own details about what needs to be publicly available, when, and how • Requirements and infrastructure for making articles publicly available are farther along than the requirements related to data, but data is coming
31. Current Action on Campus • Campus support for compliance with funder public access requirements • Open Access Policy outreach and education • Open Educational Resources Initiative • Increasing support for collecting and adding resources to Minds@UW
32. Digital Scholarship

37. Digital Scholarship in Action STEM (“eScience”) • Data science/analytics • Visualization • High throughput computing • Electronic data collection (ELNs)

39. Digital Project Planning Research Data Management Open Research + Reproducibility
40. Digital Project Planning Meeting researchers at a critical time to share information and influence decisions: • Timeline • Funding • Roles and responsibilities • Communication and sharing • Publication • Preservation

42. Digital Project Planning A direct route to library services and specialists! • Discipline-specific • Copyright assistance • Openness (workflows, articles, data) • Data management • Text or data mining • Funder compliance • Preservation
43. What to Expect • Digital project examples • Best practices for digital project management
44. Research Data Management What is research data? “The recorded factual information commonly accepted in the scientific community as necessary to validate research findings.” INCLUDES: code, figures, statistics, interviews, transcripts EXCLUDES: preliminary analyses, drafts of papers, plans for further research, communication + peer reviews, physical samples -OMB Circular, White House

49. What to Expect • Federal funding agencies + RDM • The repository landscape • Data horror stories • RDM best practices
50. Open Research + Reproducibility Defining “Open” “Open means anyone can freely access, use, modify, and share for any purpose (subject, at most, to requirements that preserve provenance and openness).” -The Open Definition (http://opendefinition.org/) CAVEAT: Some data isn’t meant to be shared openly (human subjects, national security, etc.)
51. Barriers to Openness • Fear of getting scooped • Mistakes / misinterpretation of the data • Transition to new ways of sharing research • Few academic incentives yet
