Discussion on "Promoting Open Access Amongst Young Researchers" at WSIS.
by Sridhar Gutam 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

Dear All, There is a discussion started by ms. Barnali on "Promoting Open Access amongst young researchers" at WSIS ( http://www.wsis-community.org/pg/forum/topic/834997/promoting-open-access-a… ) Here is the text of the post written by Ms. Barnali ( barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com) {Apologies for cross posting} I am currently assisting the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) in developing Curriculum and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Tool for Open Access for researchers and library and information professionals as a project of UNESCO. The UNESCO adopted Open Access strategy in 2011, and with effect from 1st July 2013 it has become fully Open Access. Capacity building to promote Open Access is one of the important strands of the UNESCO strategy. The UNESCO Open Access Forum 2011 also recommended training of young researchers and library professionals on Open Access. In the last week, I requested for help on articulating the training needs of library professionals, and this week I would like to request the stakeholders to think about what new researchers should know about Open Access. We believe that the OA awareness of the researchers that can make the Open Access movement more successful. In subject disciplines, where the researchers are more aware and have common goals, the amount of information available in OA is much higher than other disciplines. So, it is always better to follow the principle of "catch them young", and include a short training curriculum on OA for every researcher working for their doctoral degree. This can be a pre-doctoral work as well. If such a programme is to be organized, what are the knowledge, skills and attitude that should be covered in the training? In a survey conducted amongst researchers in a prestigious national university revealed that most of the respondents indicated limited participation in open access mode of communications either as users or as contributors. The study also revealed that their participation can be increased through appropriate training, and awareness creation. So, what you think as the areas that should be covered in OA training for researchers? Your response will help us to articulate more precisely the topics related to knowledge, skills and attitudes for Open Access. If you want to share more on the topic privately, kindly do so in the E-mails: smishra.col(a)gmail.com and barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com Regards, Barnali Roy Choudhury Project Associate (Open Access) Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) 13/14 Sarv Priya Bihar New Delhi- 110016 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
