of traffic, please be patient! The system is working intermittently, and we hope to speed things up over the course of the day: <a href="https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.11283" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.11283</a> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;">We are excited to announce a brand new blog platform for Open Research at Cambridge, Open Research: Adventures from the frontline - <a href="https://openadventures-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?page_id=12" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://openadventures-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?page_id=12</a> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">This
platform will publish blogs and observations from the Open Research Pilot but also musings and findings from our research community.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><b>Announcement – Free digitisation of alumni theses<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;">We are delighted to have been contacted by more than 30 alumni keen to make their own theses open access in the wake of our announcement of Prof. Hawking’s decision to make his thesis available.
A vast amount of research undertaken at Cambridge is locked up in PhD theses held in paper form in the Library. To help unlock this resource, the Office of Scholarly Communication (OSC) is offering to cover the cost of digitisation of PhD theses for alumni
who are prepared to make their PhD freely available on the University’s repository, Apollo: <a href="http://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">www.repository.cam.ac.uk</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;">This is an opportunity for alumni to join other luminaries such as Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Lord Christopher Smith in making their PhD freely available. More information about this project
is available here:<a href="https://www.alumni.cam.ac.uk/news/share-your-research-with-the-world" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://www.alumni.cam.ac.uk/news/share-your-research-with-the-world</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><b>Event – How to Spot a Predatory Publisher<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;">Today at 2pm we are delighted to offer the popular course ‘How to Spot a Predatory Publisher’ as a webinar for library staff.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;">So-called predatory publishers regularly approach researchers via email to solicit manuscripts and conference papers. With the emphasis on publishing as a measure of academic success still
strong, it can be easy to give in to temptation and flattery but this can do more harm than good to a future career. This session will look at the problem of predatory publishers using case studies. Attendees will be given tips on how to spot a predatory publisher
or conference and the best advice to offer if one of their researchers is approached.<o:p></o:p></p>
