Dissemin is a tool to detect research articles behind paywalls and to help their authors upload them in an open repository. Dissemin is an open-source project with various contributors, organized as a non-profit. Profile of the candidate The applicant should be familiar with or ready to learn the following technologies: the Python programming language; the Django Web application framework; the PostgreSQL database management system; RESTful Web APIs; processing of large datasets. The applicant should be familiar with an open-source development workflow (basics of Git, merge requests, proficiency in technical English) and willing and interested to work in an academic environment on a project related to academic publishing. The candidate should be able to work autonomously, in interaction with a remote team of developers. The applicant should hold a Master or engineering diploma in a field related to computer science or computer engineering. Candidates holding a PhD on a relevant topic are also welcome, with the experience of the PhD recognized and useful for the project. The applicant need not be French-speaking. Tasks The role of the engineer will be to turn Dissemin from a proof-of-concept work into a production-ready tool, in particular to be used by French researchers to help them deposit their works on open-access platforms, as required by their employers or funders. Some specific tasks include: day-to-day management of the Dissemin platform and bug fixing; integration of Crossref and BASE data, in connection with HAL; optimization of the data ingestion from Crossref and BASE; possible migration of the platform to a different hosting and architecture; interaction with the Valda research team on subjects related to the analysis of the scientific corpus (e.g., possible co-supervision of Master’s students). Work conditions The engineer will be hosted at École normale supérieure in the 5th district of Paris and employed by ENS on a one-year contract renewable once, for a total planned duration of two years. For a full-time position, the work week is 37.5 hours (flexible hours), with 49 vacation days yearly; part-time positions can be discussed. The engineer will work under the supervision of the head of the Valda team, Pierre Senellart. The salary will follow the ENS salary scale for technical employees (typically 26 to 36 k€ gross yearly salary depending on experience and degree). The position is expected to start at the earliest in June 2021 and at the latest in January 2022. Work environment The work will be conducted within a dynamic research team, also in interaction with the PRAIRIE institute for artificial intelligence research in Paris. The engineer will be encouraged to participate in the life of the team (research seminars, discussions with PhD candidates and researchers, etc.). This position can also serve as a gateway for applicants considering a PhD thesis in related areas. All development will be open-source. Contributing to third-party open-source projects useful to Dissemin is also encouraged. Diversity ENS is an equal-opportunity employer, with ENS and Dissemin committed to diversity and professional equality in terms of gender, handicap, and origin. For this reason, applicants need not mention any personal information (such as age, family situation, photo) on their application. How to apply? Candidates can submit their application (CV, motivation letter, references, link to past projects) as a single PDF document to hiring@dissem.in. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis. Early applications are recommended.

We have therefore decided that we will remove the badge from Zenodo. We would like to thank Altmetric.com for the service they have provided through the years. Instead, we will look for a solution based on Open Data that enables our users to discover the online conversation about their work, and make this solution available for other repositories to use via the InvenioRDM platform.

Come si fa solitamente, la procedura di trasposizione comincia adesso con una legge di delegazione europea: il Parlamento delega cioè al Governo il compito di scrivere la legge vera e propria, dandogli una serie di linee guida per la redazione del testo. Uno degli argomenti sul tavolo è la direttiva del 2019 sul diritto d’autore e sui diritti connessi nel mercato unico digitale, per la quale Wikimedia Italia si è mobilitata dal 2013 al 2019. Continuando la nostra opera, abbiamo pertanto chiesto di potere essere auditi presso la 14ª Commissione permanente del Senato (Politiche dell’Unione europea) che sta prendendo in esame in questi giorni la legge di delegazione europea (S.1721).

They will do everything to make the publishing process long and tedious, won’t add any value to your work (rather the opposite), and ask libraries to pay a huge amount of money to be able to distribute your research. They don’t care at all for science, their main goal is to make financial profit. Boycott Elsevier! What follows are my experiences about publishing a journal article in one of Elsevier’s journals. It was absolutely ridiculous.

Therefore, I designed a seminar to teach students the practices of Open Science by doing qualitative research.About this seminar, I wrote the article ”Teaching Open Science and qualitative methods“. For the article ”Teaching Open Science and qualitative methods“, I started to review the literature on ”Teaching Open Science“. The result of my literature review is that certain aspects of Open Science are used for teaching. However, Open Science with all its aspects (Open Access, Open Data, Open Methodology, Open Science Evaluation and Open Science Tools) is not an issue in publications about teaching. Based on this insight, I have started a systematic literature review. I realized quickly that I need help to analyse and interpret the articles and to evaluate my preliminary findings. Especially different disciplinary cultures of teaching different aspects of Open Science are challenging, as I myself, as a social scientist, do not have enough insight to be able to interpret the results correctly. Therefore, I would like to invite you to participate in this research project! I am now looking for people who would like to join a collaborative process to further explore and write the systematic literature review on “Teaching Open Science“. Because I want to turn this project into a Massive Open Online Paper (MOOP). According to the 10 rules of Tennant et al (2019) on MOOPs, it is crucial to find a core group that is enthusiastic about the topic. Therefore, I am looking for people who are interested in creating the structure of the paper and writing the paper together with me. I am also looking for people who want to search for and review literature or evaluate the literature I have already found. Together with the interested persons I would then define, the rules for the project (cf. Tennant et al. 2019). So if you are interested to contribute to the further search for articles and / or to enhance the interpretation and writing of results, please get in touch. For everyone interested to contribute, the list of articles collected so far is freely accessible at Zotero: https://www.zotero.org/groups/2359061/teaching_open_science. The figure shown below provides a first overview of my ongoing work. I created the figure with the free software yEd and uploaded the file to zenodo, so everyone can download and work with it: To make transparent what I have done so far, I will first introduce what a systematic literature review is. Secondly, I describe the decisions I made to start with the systematic literature review. Third, I present the preliminary results.

I express the desire to shift the conversation towards topics like #failtales, mental health, reform of the assessment and evaluation of research and researchers. I show a much desired shift from Open Science towards Inclusive Science, where we (Europe) start listening to what is happening to other parts of the world and to underrepresented minorities.
