This session is a workshop whose goal is to help you doing your literature search in an open environment. We will present different search tools and show you how to use them. This training include practice time to allow you to search open access literature in your field.
Open access began with preprints in the 1990s. Today, preprints remain a popular means of disseminating scientific results in certain disciplines. It also makes it possible to experiment with new ways of carrying out peer review and to build new publication models. The presentation will be followed by an interview with Thomas Guillemaud and Denis Bourguet, co-founders of the Peer Community In initiative.
In our presentation, we will talk first about the phenomenon of predatory publishers; we will present the characteristics of their dishonest and often illegal business model and show some schemes of recognizing and avoiding publishing at predators. Then, we will discuss a new emerging challenge for scholarly publishing that is the identity fraud of scientific journals (described as hijacked journals).
The rights retention strategy, initially put in place by research funders, is available to all researchers and allows them to retain sufficient intellectual property rights on their author manuscript to disseminate their research. On the agenda:
This inaugural session offers to introduce the public to the challenges of open science with particular emphasis on its link with questions related to research integrity. The presentation will be followed by an interview with Paola Masuzzo, PhD in Bioinformatics from Ghent University (Belgium) and commited to promote open research practices.
Barbara Kuklińska: Sir, I think it is worth starting our conversation with the final results of the evaluation that the university has recently received, as it is a cause for joy.
