Open Access Publishing

Data Services Class: Choosing an Open License for your Research Data and Software w/ Megan Forbes and Lubov McKone (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM)

If you have ever shared your data or software in a repository like the Johns Hopkins Research Data Repository, or on a platform like Github, you may have been asked to choose a license for your material. This workshop covers the fundamentals of open licensing for data and software, providing practical guidance for researchers who want to make their work openly available. Participants will gain an understanding of the open licenses available for data and software, factors to consider when selecting license(s), and special considerations for AI model components.

Welch Class - ORCID and SciENcv w/ Nancy Shin and David Hopkins (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM)

ORCID iDs are free, unique researcher identifiers that can be connected to systems like SciENcv, the profile system for research investments from federal agencies. ORCID iD users can automate the process of gathering accurate information about their own funding, publications, and more, all in one place. ORCID iD users set permissions for how funders, publishers and other parties read and write into their ORCID record. Many federal agencies, particularly the NIH and NSF, require applicants to connect their ORCID iD to their SciENcv biosketch materials.  

In this class you will: 

• Set up your unique ORCID iD using the Johns Hopkins ORCID Registry.
• Connect your iD with systems that populate your record, such as Crossref.
• Connect your iD with SciENcv to create biosketches for federal agencies.

Data Services Class: Preparing to Share Human Participant Data in a Repository w/ Dave Fearon (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM)

Increasingly, funders and publishers are requiring that researchers share their data openly in repositories for the purpose of making research more transparent and reliable. If you work with data derived from human participants, you may have wondered what steps to take to ensure that this data can be shared safely.

In this workshop, we will overview best practices and factors to consider when preparing to share human participant data in a repository, from the beginning of your project to the end.

Attendees will come away with an understanding of the requirements, policies, and offices that govern human participant data sharing, an overview of what measures need to be taken to prepare human participant data for release, and familiarity with the major data repositories in which you can share human participant data.

Keynote Talk: Reimagining Scientific Publishing: The Peer Community In (PCI) Revolution w/ PCI Founders Thomas Guillemaud and Denis Bourguet (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM)

Peer Community In (PCI) offers a free and transparent alternative to the traditional scientific publication system by creating communities of researchers who evaluate and recommend preprints. Each PCI brings together “recommenders” who act as editors and recommend preprints, which can then be submitted to journals or published directly in the Peer Community Journal. Launched in 2017, the PCI initiative has grown to 20 thematic communities, includes more than 2,500 scientists, and is supported by over 200 institutions worldwide 

Bios 

Thomas Guillemaud and Denis Bourguet are the co-founders of PCI. They are senior scientists at the French national research institute for agronomy and environment (INRAE), where they study the evolutionary biology of pest insect species. Denis is based in Montpellier, France, and Thomas in Sophia Antipolis, France.
