Take control of your PhD journey:Open Access, Library Services,Academic Integrity and more!

Dr. Lars FigenschouSenior academic librarianBiology, Fisheries and GeologyScience and health library UiT - The Arctic University of Norway

Presenterer oss selvI have been teaching within theese kinds of disiplines for 4 years and when it comes to Open Access, information literacy, and plagiarism it is really large variance in how much the students know from before about these topics. Some of you seems to have cracked the codes..

How many of you have been through a peer-review process and have publicated your firsts manuscripts? How many are in their first year at the PhD programme?

So, I have to know a little bit about you.what are your main interest.what topics and disiplines are you studying.

OA - what do we mean? What is open access?"Open access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions."(Suber, 2012)

There is an open access movement, that lobbies that research should be made publicly available. As we see there is a fast growing increase in the amount of OA articles, but still there is a long way to go.

Most of the current research literature is published in subscription-based journals, which makes access limited by payment barriers. It is now broad agreement that Open Access will be able to help to streamline the research, and at the same time stimulate the travel of knowledge by providing multiple user groups access to quality-assured scientific literature.

NOTE: The European Commission or the national research councils in a number of countries, requires that the research they fund must be made openly available.

Note that open access is not limited to journal articles, but also applies to data, images, audio, video, multimedia, and executable code

Different types of OA

Gold OA is when the publisher provides open access.

The publishing process is similar to that of traditional publishers.

Publishing process: You submit your manuscript to a publisher/journal, and the editor decides if its good enough to undergo peer review. If so, usually three peers evaluate your work to be accepted with minor or major revisions, or refused. The peer review may be closed, you just receive the evaluation, or be an open discussion, where you get to respond right away. If your work is accepted after revising once or several times, you get published.

The University of Troms has as its general rule that students and researchers shall provided publications are of equal scientific worth and stature choose publishing venues that provide the freest access to the publications, either through having a positive attitude to self-archiving or by being an Open Access publishing venue.

7

Different types of OA

Green OA is (self)archiving in open repositories

At UiT you can archive at munin.uit.no through CRIStin.

The university library checks what version you can upload.

Does not generally have any peer review, and is not similar to publishing as described. But useful to make your work more accessible. You can archive published work, or pre-prints or other content. Toll access journals often allow self archiving, eg. in institutional repositories like the Munin repository.

The University of Troms has as its general rule that students and researches shall self-archive their publications in Munin, the universitys institutional repository. Publications will be made available through Munin within the constraints of the agreements the authors have made with the publisher and publishers principles for self-archiving. The University Library of Troms has the responsibility for investigating and ensuring compliance with publishers policies and other questions regarding intellectual property rights in this context.

You can archive the published pdf or the post print. This is done in accordance with what the publisher permits. Database SHERPA/RoMEO contains policies http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/

8

Different types of OA

Remember to keep track of the last version of your manuscript!

You can usually archive the post-print.

the last version of the manuscript after peer review

before the publishers have formatted the text and put on their logos

If you cannot archive the the published version, you can often archive the post print. If you have uploaded the post print i cristin, and it turns out that you can archive the final published pdf, the library fix that for you.9

Different types of OA Hybrid OA is toll access (TA) journals that offer OA against a (often large) feeThis is not recommended

It is more expensive (often 4-5.000 USD)

The publishers, in general, does not make the OA content easy to find

OA articles are often just found among the other articles in the same isssue, so you have to check each individual issue/volume to find OA articles in the journal. They do not let you browse/search for open access articles exclusively. This does not increase visibility.

Some argue that hybrid OA is a good choice in a transition period before we get more quality options for gold OA. However, if you cannot find gold OA in your field, there shoudnt be difficult to find publishers that allow green OA instead.

Most of the publication funds do not allow hybrid OA. 11

Discussion12

OA-advantages?

What are the advantages of open access?

Better ideologyBetter economyBetter science

Ideology: science should be open to everyone, also those with weak economy. Science is partly financed through taxes, and whould be open to all tax payers.

Finance: The big publishers wants profit. They often increase the subscription fees at a higher rate than inflation and library budgets, leading to poorer access even for wealthy libraries. The libraries therefore spend more and more of the budget on journal subscriptions and less on books. Since libraries buy fewer books, academic book publishers accept fewer manuscripts, so this harms both the hard sciences and the humanities. If we instead choose OA, the library could spend subscription money on publishing funds instead, giving more money back to the researchers.

Research in itself: More visibility and better access leads to better science. Immideate access let ideas spread faster, and opens for better collaboration. For the individual researcher OA leads to wider readership, more downloads and more citations.

When applying to research funds, OA publishing is often a requirement. If you want a career in research, there is no way around open access publishing, and as we have now stated, there are good reasons for that.13

http://sparceurope.org/oaca_table/ I.e., for citation advantages see:OA-advantages?

The advantages of OA are well documentedIn a meta-study Sparc Europe (the Scholarly Publishing & Academic Resources Coalition) have examined 74 different studies.

Scientists will achieve greater dissemination of own results, and will more easily be able to access other people's results.The financing institutions will experience increased returns on their investment. Knowledge based companies will have free access to current research. Professionals, e.g. health care professionals, or individuals with professional interests, will more easily be able to keep up to date. Research institutions will be able to collect all their research in digital repositories and thus, call attention to their staff's production.Poorer nations will have access to vital researchCitation advantage

Discussion.:

Are there any downsides?

Discussion

Prestige publishing in journals and series with a high scientific index, using the traditional ones with a good reputation.16

OA or traditional?

Myth: It is more expensive to publishFact: Both TA and OA publishers often require an article processing fee of varying size.

There are OA publishers that demand lower fees than a number of TA journals, and

there are OA publishers that demand no fees.

As for traditional journals, there are both nonprofit and for-profit publishers.

17

OA or traditional?

Myth: You have less rights.Fact: When publishing TA, you transfer all rights to your work to the publisher. OA let you retain some rights, like making copies of your work.Fact:We distinguish between gratis OA no price barriersand libre OA fewer permission barriers. Fact:Authors have the right to be properly acknowlegded and cited.Fact:OA makes it easier to detect plagiarism.

Budapest: read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers

Bethesda and Berlin: For a work to be OA, the copyright holder must consent in advance to let users copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution ofauthorship18

OA or traditional

Myth: OA publishers lack peer review and have lower qualityFact:All serious OA publishers have peer review, and have a publishing process similar to that of well established and well recognized traditional publishers (i.e., use the excel-sheet Publication channels 2015 to find your journal).

Fact:Quality may be hard to measure, and high impact factor does not always imply high quality.There are easy ways to find good OA publishers - if you want to!

There are high quality and low quality among both OA journals and trad journals.

Academic Integrity & Referencing.two sides of the same story?

25

Authority (autoritet/anseelse)I have chosen top peopleYou can be confident about what I writeValidity (troverdighet)I have chosen reliable peopleYou can believe what I writeTraceable (kan spores)You can check what I write: is it correct? Yes, it is..!!Recent (nylig)What I write is up-to-date and very relevant..Broad (bred) researchI have done a lot of research, and.I have looked for the best sourcesUsing terms correctlyThis is how people use this term in my subjectPoliteness (hflighet) and community (fellesskap)We all work together to build knowledge. It is not just me who thinks this.

WHY DO WE CITE and make a reference list?Here you see a slide from a lecture given by Jude Carroll about WHY you should cite correctly.The best slide ever.. orininally about plagarism and how to avoid it!! BUT: it fits perfectly to what academic integrity represents. Its picture the nature of academia..as a whole!!!

26

Plagiarism occurs when someoneSubmits the work product

of a named or identifiable person or source

in a situation where originality is expected

without showing the source of the work product

.for credit or benefit Fishman, 2010

Hva er definisjonen for PLAGIAT?27

PlagiarismIn terms of research ethics, plagiarism involves stealing content from the works of other writers and researchers and publishing it as ones own.

Duplication, but also findings, ideas, hypotheses, concepts, theories, interpretations, designs, etc. of others.

Software: E.g. https://www.ephorus.com

Where do you draw the line? Dele ut OPPGAVER.

Referring to another work early in ones own text and then subsequently making extensive use of it without further reference is also plagiarism.Duplication=fordobling, mangfoldiggjrelse

28

How do we site, quote and make our reference list?

I hereby submit the following claim:

Hentet fra: blog.physicsworld.com

For 11 years I have been studying behaviour. First, especially behaviour related to reproduction and flirting - both in fish and in humans. The last 4 years, however, I have been studying student behaviour and in connection with that, I have gone through all the disiplinary cases at UiT the last 3 years.

So, my claime here.in this context is that, if you fulfill, and can say YES to my next two statesments you will never been caught in plagarism.

1. You are a honest person, and have a fundamental understanding of why you cite and you have also cracked most of the codes, when it comes to information literacy.(That is, you knoe how to find information, you know how to evaluate it, and you know how to use it.)2. You are comfortable with your own role in the academic environment, and you are willing to put in the amount of resources that it takes..:to develop personally and profesjonallyto learn and to see conectionsto have fun, but also experience hard timesto achive their goalsto do make a honest piece of student work.

So, do you want to be one of us, or one of them who still do it in the high school way..: cut corners and cut and paste?If YES, it is no problem, at all, to find out how you should do your reference list. In fact it is one of your minor problems..

I also respect those of you who must say no, to one or more, of my statesments, but you have to be aware of the consequences.I doesnt say this to scare you..Last year I had 3 students, independent of each other, at my office. All of them was cryingbecause they have been caught in fraud. Plagarism. .and scientific fraud infects every level of our academic community. Next slide.. 29

The extent of scientific misconductFanelli, D. (2009). How Many Scientists Fabricate and Falsify Research? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Survey Data. PLoS ONE, 4(5), e5738. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0005738Meta-analysis of 18 surveys on research misconduct Limited to behavior distorting scientific knowledge

Self-reportsFabrication/falsification of data or modification of results: 1.97%Other questionable research practices: 33.7%

Non self-reportsObserved fabrication/falsification of data or result modification: 14.12%Observed other questionable research practices: 72%

Observed misconduct acted upon in 50% of the cases Survey questions on plagiarism were excluded

Considering that these surveys ask sensitive questions and have other limitations, it appears likely that this is a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of scientific misconduct.

The frequency with which scientists fabricate and falsify data, or commit other forms of scientific misconduct is a matter of controversy. Many surveys have asked scientists directly whether they have committed or know of a colleague who committed research misconduct, but their results appeared difficult to compare and synthesize. This is the first meta-analysis of these surveys38

Being (your own) whistleblowerIn your field, which motives could drive researchers to commit misconduct?

Are you sufficiently critical to others? What would you do if you suspected research carried out by others to be dubious?

In your situation, in which situation(s) would pressure be such that misconduct, FFP or QRP, could be tempting?
