[GOAL] BLOG: Notes from the first Open Scholarship Initiative workshop

[Danny Kingsley]

<Apologies for cross posting>

Hello all,

I have written up my notes from the first Open Scholarship Initiative workshop: 'Watch this space - first OSI workshop' https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=614 <https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=614>

A taster:

It was always an ambitious project – trying to gather 250 high level delegates from all aspects of the scholarly communication process with the goal of better communication and idea sharing between sectors of the ecosystem. The first meeting of the Open Scholarship Initiative <http://nationalscience.org/portfolio/open-scholarship-initiative/> (OSI) happened in Fairfax, Virginia last week. Kudos to the National Science Communication Institute <http://nationalscience.org/> for managing the astonishing logistics of an exercise like this – and basically pulling it off.

This was billed as a ‘meeting between global, high-level stakeholders in research’ with a goal to ‘lay the groundwork for creating a global collaborative framework to manage the future of scholarly publishing and everything these practices impact’. The OSI is being supported by UNESCO who have committed to the full 10 year life of the project. As things currently stand, the plan is to repeat the meeting annually for a decade. <snip>

I am fairly sure I have solved the spam issue on the blog so comments to the blog *should* appear.

Enjoy!

Danny
