5. Open
Open definition (https://opendefinition.org/):
“Open means anyone can freely access, use, modify, and
share for any purpose (subject, at most, to requirements
that preserve provenance and openness).”

14. JIF is frequently used for research
evaluation

15. But it is not a metric for measuring the
quality of the research

Research Assessment (https://sfdora.org)
800+ organizations and 12,000+ individuals have
committed:
● not to consider JIF in hiring, promotion or funding
decisions
● the scientific content of an article, not the JIF of the
journal where it was published, is what matters
● to consider the value and impact of all the research
outputs

20. pre/post-print repositories
● aRxiv: https://arxiv.org/
● Open Science Framewok
preprints:
https://osf.io/preprints/
● MarXiv: https://marxiv.org/
● Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/)
● Figshare (https://figshare.com/)

21. FAIR
● Findable
● Accessible
● Interoperable
● Reusable

22. Data repositories
● An online archive containing data usually associated with
scientific works of scholars.
● It can be a general data repository or a discipline or subject
repository
● Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/)
● Pangaea (https://www.pangaea.de/)
● Data Dryad (https://www.datadryad.org/)
● Figshare (https://figshare.com/)
● Registry of Research data Repositorries:
https://www.re3data.org/

23. Data paper
● A data paper describes a dataset, giving
details of its collection, processing,
software, and file formats, without the
requirement of analyses or conclusions
based on the data.
● Data descriptors: descriptions of
research datasets, including the methods
used to collect the data and technical
analyses supporting the quality of the
measurements. Data Descriptors focus
on helping others reuse data, rather than
testing hypotheses, or presenting new
interpretations, methods or in-depth
analyses

27. What can I do right now to share my
research?
● Deposit preprints of all manuscripts in publicly
accessible repositories
● Post free copies of previously published articles in a
public repository
● Publish in open access venues
● Publicly share data and materials via a trusted
repository
● Share widely on the web
Openness is defined by a continuum of practices - there are so
many ways to share your research.

connect with one another
● Increasing of the discoverability and visibility of one’s
work
● Facilitating rapid access to novel data and software
resources
● Creating new opportunities to interact with and
contribute to ongoing communal projects

52. In his 2012 book Open Access, Peter Suber summed it up
best:
“[OA] increases a work’s visibility, retrievability, audience,
usage, and citations, which all convert to career
building. For publishing scholars, it would be a bargain
even if it were costly, difficult, and time-consuming.
But...it’s not costly, not difficult, and not time-consuming.”
