However, making processes open will not per se drive wide re-use or participation unless also accompanied by the capacity (in terms of knowledge, skills, financial resources, technological readiness and motivation) to do so. These capacities vary considerably across regions, institutions and demographics. Those advantaged by such factors will remain potentially privileged, putting Open Science’s agenda of inclusivity at risk of propagating conditions of “cumulative advantage”. With this paper, we systematically scope existing research addressing the question: “What evidence and discourse exists in the literature about the ways in which dynamics and structures of inequality could persist or be exacerbated in the transition to Open Science, across disciplines, regions and demographics?” Aiming to synthesise findings, identify gaps in the literature, and inform future research and policy, our results identify threats to equity associated with all aspects of Open Science, including Open Access, Open/FAIR Data, Open Methods, Open Evaluation, Citizen Science, as well as its interfaces with society, industry and policy. Key threats include: stratifications of publishing due to the exclusionary nature of the author-pays model of Open Access; potential widening of the digital divide due to the infrastructure-dependent, highly situated nature of open data practices; risks of diminishing qualitative methodologies as “reproducibility” becomes synonymous with quality; new risks of bias and exclusion in means of transparent evaluation; and crucial asymmetries in the Open Science relationships with industry and the public, which privileges the former and fails to fully include the latter.</p>

In contrast to software developers, researchers mostly don’t organize their files according to some common standard. While data managers propose to design and follow such an organization, they fail at providing clear recommendations or examples to researchers; and there is no time specifically assigned to this task in the researcher’s work. We believe that <strong>providing researchers with a commonly accepted folder tree structure template</strong> could make a huge difference in promoting data management and facilitating research collaboration. In this blog, we present the results of an initial survey run in three neuroscientific collaborative research centers in Germany (<a href="https://www.biologie.hu-berlin.de/en/gruppenseiten-en/sfb1315">CRC1315</a>, <a href="http://www.sfb1158.de/">CRC1158</a>, <a href="http://www.allpsych.uni-giessen.de/sfb/">CRC135</a>), including a presentation of a new folder structure and its technical <strong>implementation in the GIN-Tonic application</strong>. Researchers from all research domains and country of origins are now invited to review this draft in a <a href="https://umfrage.hu-berlin.de/index.php/617633?lang=en">second survey</a>.</p>

DataCite Commons is a discovery service that enables simple searches while giving users a comprehensive overview of connections between entities in the research landscape. This means that DataCite members registering DOIs with us will have easier access to information about the use of their DOIs and can discover and track connections between their DOIs and other entities. DataCite Commons was developed as part of the EC-funded project Freya and will form the basis of new DataCite services....
We integrate with both the ORCID and ROR (Research Organization Registry) APIs to enable a search for (10 million) people and (100,000) organizations and to show the associated content. For funding, we take advantage of the inclusion of Crossref Funder IDs in ROR metadata. We combine these connections, showing a funder, research organization, or researcher not only their content but also the citations and views and downloads if available, together with aggregate statistics such as numbers by year or content type...."

Since 2017, TU Delft has piloted the Data Stewardship programme with the aim to provide disciplinary specific data management support to TU Delft researchers. The focus on disciplinary support is motivated by the belief that in research data management (RDM), there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. </span></p>
<p><span>TU Delft has eight faculties with a wide range of research topics. In order to provide dedicated disciplinary support to researchers, a Data Steward was appointed at every faculty. Each Data Steward has a PhD degree in research are relevant for the faculty. </span></p>

<p>Librarians and researchers alike have long identified research data management (RDM) training as a need in biomedical research. Despite the wealth of libraries offering RDM education to their communities, clinical research is an area that has not been targeted. Clinical RDM (CRDM) is seen by its community as an essential part of the research process where established guidelines exist, yet educational initiatives in this area are unknown.</p>
<p>Case Presentation</p>
<p>Leveraging my academic library’s experience supporting CRDM through informationist grants and REDCap training in our medical center, I developed a 1.5 hour CRDM workshop. This workshop was designed to use established CRDM guidelines in clinical research and address common questions asked by our community through the library’s existing data support program. The workshop was offered to the entire medical center 4 times between November 2017 and July 2018. This case study describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of this workshop.</p>
<p>Conclusions</p>
<p>The 4 workshops were well attended and well received by the medical center community, with 99% stating that they would recommend the class to others and 98% stating that they would use what they learned in their work. Attendees also articulated how they would implement the main competencies they learned from the workshop into their work. For the library, the effort to support CRDM has led to the coordination of a larger institutional collaborative training series to educate researchers on best practices with data, as well as the formation of institution-wide policy groups to address researcher challenges with CRDM, data transfer, and data sharing.</p>tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/24722572019-01-21T05:36:22-05:002019-01-21T05:36:22-05:00European Parliament Petition on Elsevier and the Open Science Monitor - Green Tea and Velociraptors<p>Call to sign a petition:'</p>
<p><em>The petitioner denounces the award to a subcontractor to monitor the future progress of Open Science in Europe, as well as the fact that the opportunity to raise a formal appeal was denied to him and others, due to the late notification of the award. He claims that the process of the subcontract award will have a detrimental impact on the future of Open Science and innovation in Europe, the livelihoods of European citizens, and the legitimacy of the European Commission as an institution. He denounces the lack of sufficient care and transparency with the process of the contracting procedure. Second, and as a consequence of this, there would be a clear conflict of interest (COI) as the subcontractor would be monitoring and evaluating the very same science communication that they, and their competitors, sell as their primary products.</em></p>

Whether this is due to the current transitional situation and power-struggle between publishers and funders, or – to take a grimmer outlook – this is a result of a devious racket that allows funders to force open access while insuring publishers can still rake in their money, is not yet clear to me.</span></p>

Instead of adding to that with statements on whether it is a good idea or on which elements we like and which we do not like, here we present and dissect eight possible routes towards compliance. For each of those routes the scheme shows <em>examples</em> (please treat them as such), assessments of <em>effects on various stakeholders</em> and on <em>overall cost</em> and also whether the route <em>aligns with expected changes in the evaluation system</em>.</p>
<p>In our view it is useful to discern 5 potential gold routes and 3 potential green routes.</p>
