Fwd: Octopus: New research platform 'will disrupt research culture for the better'.
by Shamprasad Pujar 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Dear All, This may be of interest to you and your users. Please refer to the trailing email. https://octopuspublishing.org Regards, S M Pujar Chief Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai ========================= ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Aug 10, 2021 at 7:23 AM Subject: Octopus: New research platform 'will disrupt research culture for the better'. To: <LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu> From: Bev Acreman <Bev(a)uksg.org> Date: Mon, Aug 9, 2021 at 4:11 AM 06 August 2021 Funding agreed to develop platform that will change research culture Research England grants £650,000 to help build Octopus into a new global service for scholarly communication Funding has been agreed to help develop a ground-breaking global service which could positively disrupt research culture for the better. Announced today by the science minister, Amanda Solloway, Octopus Publishing Community Interest Company (CIC), in collaboration with Jisc, will receive £650,000 over three years from Research England’s emerging priorities fund. The money will support development of a new platform for the scientific community. Called Octopus, it will provide a new ‘primary research record’ for recording and appraising research ‘as it happens’. Developed by Dr Alexandra Freeman, Octopus breaks down the publication of scientific research into eight elements, unlike a traditional journal article. The eight elements are: · Problem · Hypothesis/rationale · Methods/protocol · Data/results · Analysis · Interpretation · Real-world implementation · Peer review Elements are linked together on Octopus, to form chains of collaborative work. These smaller units of publication encourage faster sharing, and credit can be given to individual work at all stages of the research process, including peer review. The platform is free for researchers to publish their work, free for anyone to read and embeds the principles of openness and transparency throughout. Its aim is to reset the incentive structure in research to reward best practice in every aspect of the scientific process. Research England’s director of research, Steven Hill, said: “The funding to support Octopus aligns with Research England’s strong commitment to open research and the government’s People and Culture Strategy. “There is real potential for this service to positively disrupt the publication landscape and provide a tool for the research community, which is owned by the community.” Director of open research services, at Jisc, Liz Bal, said: “The vision for Octopus is strongly aligned with Jisc’s overall mission in leveraging technology to improve research. Open by design, Octopus represents an entirely new publishing model, with the potential to transform research communication and research culture. “Our goal for Octopus is that it is driven by the needs of the global research community and that the underlying technology and processes are open, robust and scalable.” Director of Octopus, Dr Alexandra Freeman, said: “My hope for Octopus is that it breaks down barriers to access to scientific research, helps remove hierarchies and the culture problems that those cause, and encourages a new culture of collaboration, constructive critique and fast sharing of work. “The Covid-19 pandemic has shown not only how important fast and open publication of research is, but also what can be achieved when the scientific community work together towards a common goal. “Covid research shouldn’t be the exception - all research should be this transparent, and freely available to all.” The design emphasis will be on speed and ease of use - both for authors to share their own work and to search for relevant work of others. Research England’s funding will support the technical development required to move the experimental Octopus tool from a prototype to an active service that’s available world-wide. It will also support marketing and outreach, a programme of evaluation and user research, and work to develop a sustainable model for Octopus in the long-term. ENDS About Jisc Jisc’s vision is for the UK to be a world leader in technology for education and research. It owns and operates the super-fast national research and education network, Janet, with built-in cyber security protection. Jisc also provides technology solutions for members (colleges, universities and research centres) and customers (public sector bodies), helps members save time and money by negotiating sector-wide deals and provides advice and practical assistance on digital technology. Jisc is funded by the UK higher and further education and research funding bodies and member institutions. About Research England Research England shapes healthy, dynamic research and knowledge exchange in English universities. It distributes over £2bn to universities in England every year; works to understand their strategies, capabilities and capacity; and supports and challenges universities to create new knowledge, strengthen the economy, and enrich society. Research England is part of UK Research and Innovation alongside the seven Research Councils and Innovate UK.

Women are undercited?
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 08 Aug '21

08 Aug '21

This is a revelation and unexpected! As 'man' is a part of 'woman', literally, how can men be so partial and prejudiced? ///Penn Today: Women are undercited and men are overcited in communication <https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/women-are-undercited-and-men-are-overcited…>. "A new study from the Addiction, Health, & Adolescence (AHA!) Lab at the Annenberg School for Communication found that men are overcited and women are undercited in the field of communication. The researchers’ findings indicate that this problem is most persistent in papers authored by men." /// Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Writing and Disseminating Grey Literature
by Siddu Huded 07 Aug '21

07 Aug '21

Dear all, It may be of interest to you. If you are a researcher, academic, student, development sector professional or a practitioner who is keen to reach the research-based knowledge you have created to a wider audience, this course is for you. Vast amounts of knowledge are produced by educational and research institutions through rigorous research and fieldwork. Yet, there is a dearth of access to this knowledge among non-academic communities (which includes practitioners, policymakers, and citizens) due to the language used. Researchers can bring visibility to grey literature if they engage with alternate public writing forms. https://www.coursera.org/learn/writing-and-disseminating-grey-literature -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
