The campaign is part of Wikipedia's 15th anniversary celebration. #1Lib1Ref Imagine a World where Every Librarian Added One More Reference to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a first stop for researchers: let's make it better! Everything you need to start can be found on The Wikipedia Library 1Lib1Ref <http://tinyurl.com/j5rlrao> page... which starts: "Wikipedia is an invaluable part of every researcher's process: every reference added by a librarian means one more reference in any Wikipedia article that helps the next researcher, or librarian helping a researcher, ensure that the best information gets shared with the public. Join us, and make a small contribution to the sum of all human knowledge! Because anyone can edit Wikipedia, the Wikipedia community developed a core strategy for ensuring quality of information in its articles: including footnotes to reliable sources to allow Wikipedia readers to "verify" the information. This strategy helps the global volunteer community effectively work towards meeting Wikipedia's vision: "the sum of all human knowledge." On English Wikipedia, and many other language Wikipedias, readers and editors who don't feel confident about the information in an article will add a "citation needed" tag next to that statement. In many ways, these tags are reference questions you would expect at a library reference desk: members of the public asking for that information to be backed by reliable research. English Wikipedia alone has over 350,000 such statements. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of articles just need more references, with 200,000 articles having no references at all. Globally there are hundreds of thousands of librarians. Imagine if every librarian in the world took 15 minutes to solve one of the citation needed queries! Wikipedia would no longer have these gaps." For more information or to start: see The Wikipedia Library 1Lib1Ref <http://tinyurl.com/j5rlrao> page.

Global open data accord
by Subbiah Arunachalam 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

Please see < http://twas.org/article/leading-science-groups-urge-global-open-data-accord> 7 December 2015 Leading science groups urge global open data accord Science International 2015 launches a campaign for "Open Data in a Big Data World" at Science Forum South Africa in Pretoria. Four international science organizations – ICSU, ISSC, IAP and TWAS – are behind the campaign. PRETORIA, South Africa – Four major international science organisations are calling for global endorsement of an accord to help assure open access to volumes of "big data" that increasingly are the basis of research and policymaking. The four organisations have developed and support an accord <http://www.icsu.org/science-international/> that includes a set of guiding principles on open access to big data, necessary to protect the scientific process and assure that developing countries can participate more fully in the global research enterprise. Limits on access to big data knowledge, they warn, raises the risk that progress will slow in areas such as advanced health research, environmental protection, food production and development of smart cities. Leaders of the organisations that participated in the 2015 Science International meeting called a press conference for 09.15 a.m. Wednesday 9 December 2015 at Science Forum South Africa to discuss the accord and the plans to seek endorsements in a 12-month global campaign. Phil Mjwara, director-general of South Africa's Department of Science and Technology, is expected to attend. The press conference will be held in the Amber Room of the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria.
