The A-B-C-D of open scholarship : JISC

With over 8 billion pounds per year being spent on UK research (RLUK), there is a significant need for researchers to justify that the research papers they are producing have significant and lasting value. One way to achieve this is to break the data that every research paper has into its component parts so that it can be shared and reused. The A-B-C-D of Open Scholarship is an Aide Memoire for researchers that will help remind them of whish research data they can share and the value that sharing can have for them and the entire sector.

Abstract	With over 8 billion pounds per year being spent on UK research (RLUK), there is a significant need for researchers to justify that the research papers they are producing have significant and lasting value. One way to achieve this is to break the data that every research paper has into its component parts so that it can be shared and reused. The A-B-C-D of Open Scholarship is an Aide Memoire for researchers that will help remind them of which research data they can share and the value that sharing can have for them and the entire sector.

Flanders Programme Manager in the Digital Infrastructure Team, JISC Speakers Open Access Dr Leslie Carr Senior Lecturer in Intelligence, Agents, Multimedia, University of Southampton Open Bibliography Dr Peter Murray Rust Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge Open Citation Dr David Shotton University Reader in Image Bioinformatics, University of Oxford Open Data Dr Rufus Pollock Fellowship for the Shuttleworth Foundation, Open Knowledge Foundation
Take away	Participants in this session will walk away with an “aide memoire” in what skills are required to speak with researchers about “Open Scholarship”. Researcher’s need a simple and memorable way to remind them of the wider value their research can have (even if just part of their research is made open like citation or bibliography) and the cost savings this can achieve for the sector.
