- ItemSurvey: Open Science in Higher Education(Zenodo, 2017) Heck, Tamara; Blümel, Ina; Heller, Lambert; Mazarakis, Athanasios; Peters, Isabella; Scherp, Ansgar; Weisel, LuzianBased on a checklist that was developed during a workshop at OER Camp 2016 and presented as a Science 2.0 conference 2016 poster [1], we conducted an online survey among university teachers representing a sufficient variety of subjects. The survey was online from Feb 6th to March 3rd 2017. We got 360 responses, whereof 210 were completes, see raw data [2]. The poster is presented at Open Science Conference, 21.-22.3.2017, Berlin.
- ItemForschungsinformationssysteme in Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen : Positionspapier(Zenodo, 2014) Beucke, Daniel; Bliemeister, Andreas; Ebert, Barbara; Friedrichsen, Eiken; Heller, Lambert; Herwig, Sebastian; Jahn, Najko; Kreysing, Matthias; Müller, Daniel; Riechert, Mathias; Tobias, RegineForschungsinformationssysteme sind ein aktuelles und wichtiges Thema für Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen, die einem zunehmenden Bedarf an verlässlichen und verfügbaren Informationen über die eigenen Forschungsaktivitäten begegnen. Die DINI Arbeitsgruppe Forschungsinformationssysteme will mit dem jetzt vorgelegten Papier eine erste Orientierung bieten für Leitungen, Wissenschaftsmanagement und Informationsdienstleister, die sich mit den Anforderungen an ein Forschungsinformationssystem auseinandersetzen. Angesprochen sind aber auch Träger und Förderer, denen Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen rechenschaftspflichtig sind und die selbst Forschungsdokumentation betreiben, sowie unabhängige oder kommerzielle wissenschaftliche Dienstleister und Datenbankbetreiber. Die Bedeutung von elektronischer Datenübermittlung und Vernetzung von lokalen und überregionalen Forschungsdatenbanken wird langfristig steigen. Daher sind alle Mitspielder im Wissenschaftsbetrieb für den Diskurs über eine gute Praxis der Forschungsdokumentation gefordert.
- ItemEntwicklung eines Verfahrens zur automatischen Sammlung, Erschließung und Bereitstellung multimedialer Open-Access-Objekte mittels der Infrastruktur von Wikimedia Commons und Wikidata(Zenodo, 2014) Blümel, Ina; Cartellieri, Simone; Heller, Lambert; Wartena, Christian[no abstract available]
- ItemThe Open Science training handbook: Written by 14 international experts during the FOSTER Book Sprint(Zenodo, 2018) Brinken, Helene; Mehlberg, Martin; Heller, LambertIn February 2018, FOSTER Plus and TIB organized a book sprint in order to author an Open Science training handbook collaboratively. For one week, we brought together 14 experienced Open Science educators in Hanover to answer a number of questions: What works, what doesn’t? How can you make the most of limited resources? With their help, we are creating a handbook that equips future trainers with methods, instructions, exemplary training outlines and inspiration for their own trainings. The handbook provides advocates across the globe with practical know-how to deliver Open Science principles to researchers, support staff, and research administrators. It is a living resource that is online accessible under the terms of CC0 1.0 license. The Open Science community was and will be able to review, comment and add other contributions such as discipline-specific case studies or translations after the book sprint. This is how we ensure the relevance of the handbook for a broad audience. In our ultimate goal to establish a robust, highly reusable resource on a certain topic in a short matter of time, we utilize two of the most prominent concepts and methods from the area of collaborative book writing: Book sprints and living books. Although the opportunities of both became apparent in the last few years, they still bear challenges, especially when applied to a loosely coupled, international audience of authors. We scrutinize our experiences all along the process, from the book preparation, through facilitating the book sprint itself, up to the reuse and enhancement of the book with different groups in different scenarios. Hereby, we hope to encourage and equip Open Education practitioners all over the world to make use of new open methods in the realm of collaborative book writing, like book sprints and maintaining open books, for their respective projects.
- ItemResearch information systems at universities and research institutions - Position Paper of DINI AG FIS(Zenodo, 2015) Ebert, Barbara; Tobias, Regine; Beucke, Daniel; Bliemeister, Andreas; Friedrichsen, Eiken; Heller, Lambert; Herwig, Sebastian; Jahn, Najko; Kreysing, Matthias; Müller, Daniel; Riechert, MathiasThis is the English translation of a position paper published by the German DINI Working Group on Research Information Systems (DINI AG FIS) in 2015. Reporting has become a regular part of science at every level. Researchers are required to report to external funding organisations and sponsors. Management needs an overview of the multitude of research information available in order to be able to make sound decisions and compete successfully for equipment and funding. Public accountability, particularly in terms of financing, has also grown in importance over time. At the same time, universities and research institutions still face major problems when it comes to providing information on research performance. The causes of these problems are often very similar at each institution – distributed data storage without any interfaces, management systems that fail to map research contexts, and limited usability of existing systems when it comes to carrying out differentiated analyses: Specialist and funding databases are managed independently of one another, interfaces and exchange formats simply do not exist, and standardisation options are seldom used when developing such systems. The development of financeable and functional research information systems and, above all, the exchange of existing information are of equal importance as campus management or suitable HR and finance systems when it comes to IT development in scientific institutions. It is difficult to imagine institutions being able to manage processes requiring manual input and annual data requests in the long term. Reporting requirements are also likely to increase over time. This position paper describes specific strategic steps that need to be taken in order to develop long-term research reporting information management processes in German research insttutions. Common standards need to be agreed on as they are a prerequisite both for reducing the considerable amount of work required to run systems and for enabling mobile researchers to transfer their portfolio to various applications and different research institutions. The working group also devised specific practical tips on designing, choosing, introducing and running a system as well as advice with regard to project management. These tips and advice are aimed at institutions wishing to introduce or develop a research information system.
- ItemDiscovery and efficient reuse of technology pictures using Wikimedia infrastructures. A proposal(Zenodo, 2016) Heller, Lambert; Blümel, Ina; Cartellieri, Simone; Wartena, ChristianMultimedia objects, especially images and figures, are essential for the visualization and interpretation of research findings. The distribution and reuse of these scientific objects is significantly improved under open access conditions, for instance in Wikipedia articles, in research literature, as well as in education and knowledge dissemination, where licensing of images often represents a serious barrier. Whereas scientific publications are retrievable through library portals or other online search services due to standardized indices there is no targeted retrieval and access to the accompanying images and figures yet. Consequently there is a great demand to develop standardized indexing methods for these multimedia open access objects in order to improve the accessibility to this material. With our proposal, we hope to serve a broad audience which looks up a scientific or technical term in a web search portal first. Until now, this audience has little chance to find an openly accessible and reusable image narrowly matching their search term on first try - frustratingly so, even if there is in fact such an image included in some open access article.
- ItemSo funktioniert's! Akademisches Identitätsmanagement. - Was bringen ResearchGate, Google Scholar & Co? Was war noch mal ORCID?(Zenodo, 2017) Heller, LambertForschungsreferentinnen und -referenten sollen Hochschulleitung und Wissenschaftlerinnen- und Wissenschaftlerberaten, wie sowohl der wissenschaftliche Output der Universität als Ganzes und des Einzelnen möglichst sichtbar gemacht werden kann. Ein Ansatz kann darin bestehen, Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlers zur Verwendung populärer wissenschaftlicher sozialer Netzwerke wie ResearchGate, Academia oder Profildiensten wie Google Scholar zu beraten und darüber hinaus sogenannte “Author Identifier“ wie ORCID zu bewerben. Angesichts begrenzter Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit stellt sich irgendwann die Frage: Welches Online-Profil lohnt sich, wo ergänzen sich Informationen, und was davon lässt sich individuell beeinflussen oder automatisieren? Kann und sollten Forschende ihren Forschungs-Output für Indikatoren wie den h-Index optimieren? Und wie hängt das ggf. mit ihrer Online-Sichtbarkeit, siehe oben, zusammen? Im Workshop wird es einen Input dazu geben, welche Instrumente es gibt und unter welchen Voraussetzungen, diese sich lohnen können. Gleichzeitig würden wir uns gerne mit den Teilnehmer/innen dazu austauschen, wie Beratungsstrategien dazu aussehen. Das Themenfeld stellt eine Schnittstelle zwischen Bibliothek und dem Forschungsservice dar. Ein Teil des Workshops soll es daher sein, sich darüber auszutauschen, wie ihr jeweils mit den Experten in euren Bibliotheken zusammenarbeitet, und wie sich Forschungsreferent/innen fortbilden können, um in diesem sich dynamisch entwickelnden Feld auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.
- ItemVIVO Lab at the German National Library of Science and Technology: Review and outlook(Zenodo, 2016) Walther, Tatiana; Blümel, Ina; Heller, LambertThis poster gives an overview about past, current and future activities of the VIVO Lab – a sub-group of the Open Science Lab at the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB). In the past there have been several corporate projects and implementations around VIVO, including the past corporate VIVO project – VIVO for the TIB, which was complemented with the additional features (VIVOPath and VIVO Deutsches Handbuch). The current subject area of the VIVO Lab covers, among other things, the alignment of the Research Core Dataset (KDSF) to the VIVO-ISF and the integration of the national standard into VIVO, which is planned to be applied as a new model of the TIB VIVO for internal assessment and reporting.
