Using Patient Data to Democratize Medical Discovery - NYTimes.com

Posted: 04 Apr 2015 09:32 AM PDT

"Steven Keating, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab and a brain cancer survivor, was the subject of an article this week, presented as a super data cruncher of his own patient information. The young scientist's collection and analysis of his own data makes him an extraordinary exception today, but physicians and health care experts say he is a sprinter along a path others are walking — toward consumers taking a more active interest in gathering, studying and sharing their medical data. Better-informed patients, they say, are more likely to take better care of themselves, comply with prescription drug regimens and even detect early-warning signals of illness, as Mr. Keating did. But there is another big potential benefit of the wider use and sharing of patient information — medical research ..."

Whose Open Data Community is it? - Accepted Abstract —

Posted: 04 Apr 2015 09:28 AM PDT

"On February 04, 2013, several members of the DataMeet group were invited by the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy ­Project Management Unit (NDSAP­-PMU) – the nodal agency responsible for developing, implementing, and managing the Open Government Data Platform of India – to share thoughts on the status of the implementation of the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP), the open data policy of India, and discuss potentials for collaboration. A key proposal made by the NDSAP­PMU team regarding how DataMeet can contribute to the implementation process, involved DataMeet mobilising the developer community connected to the group to build applications that use the opened up data and demonstrate the value of open government data to drive greater contribution by government agencies and greater utilisation by citizen groups. For DataMeet, a network of open data users and advocates, this invitation to collaborate sets up a slightly different problematic than that in most of the cases of free and open source software development project. The task here is to develop projects that use already available data, which may not offer significantly return to investment at present, but will accellerate the process of opening up of more valuable government data ..."

According to Mr. Wilbanks, 'Today's technologies can allow research to be conducted on a much larger scale and at much lower costs. However, the surrounding policies, practices, and ethics also need to evolve in order to keep up with the times. Re-engineering these policies and practices - in particular the process of informed consent - based on the principles of open source can increase research participation and efficiency. I look forward to sharing these ideas with OpenClinica community' ..."

Advantages and disadvantages of open access in libraries | SirsiDynix.com

Posted: 04 Apr 2015 09:16 AM PDT

" ... So, where do librarians go from here? Open access is an important aspect of research, especially in public and academic libraries where funding and resources are often sparse. If you're a librarian who is interested in joining the open access movement, you certainly aren't alone, and there are are many resources available for you to get started, whether you work in a public or academic setting. Even if you have open access material in your library already, you can expand upon your collection even more, according to the Association of College and Research Libraries. Some of these options include thousands of open access journals, open repositories and mandates from global organizations. In fact, the ACRL even stated that the momentum for the open access movement among institutions has grown so strong in some communities that open access is now considered "inevitable." Below are some excellent resources offered by the ACRL that could help librarians get started ..."

Library Juice » Call for Papers: Why is the Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies needed today?

Posted: 04 Apr 2015 08:46 AM PDT

"Call for Papers: Why is the Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies needed today? The Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies is a peer-reviewed open access journal which addresses the need for critical discourse in library and information science and associated domains such as communication and media studies. It critically engages the cultural forms, social practices, the political economy, and the history of information and information institutions. It also seeks to broaden the methodological commitments of the field and to broaden the scope of library and information studies by applying diverse critical, trans-disciplinary, and global perspectives. The journal engages issues of social and cognitive justice and the historical and contemporary roles of documentary, information, and computational technologies in creating, mediating, surveilling, and challenging personal and social identities in cultural and political economies of power and expression. For its inaugural issue, the JCLIS will focus on why such a journal is needed, as a platform for critical discourse in LIS. JCLIS seeks to publish research articles, literature reviews, and possibly other essay forms (up to 7000 words) that use or examine critical perspectives on library and information studies. Some of the issues that might be addressed are: What are the current gaps in disciplines and discourses that make the JCLIS necessary? How can scholars speak to past silences in research and thinking in information studies? What is "critical perspective" in library and information studies research? What ethical or political commitments might a critical perspective entail? What do critical perspectives look like in practice? ..."

UK Data Service » Scientific Data approves UK Data Service as recommended data depository

Posted: 04 Apr 2015 08:40 AM PDT

"The UK Data Service is delighted to be the first UK-based social science repository to be listed as a recommended repository by Scientific Data. Scientific Data, the open-access data journal of Nature Publishing Group, publishes the Data Descriptor article type and recommends that datasets accompanying manuscripts be deposited in established and trusted repositories, such as the UK Data Service ReShare. This ensures that these datasets are stably preserved for the longer-term, thoroughly peer-reviewed, and will be easily accessible to the research community after publication. Using the UK Data Service's ReShare repository, researchers can easily upload data collections in the social sciences, humanities and medical research, describe these collections and select the access conditions and licences that are best suited to their data. Researchers can then decide whether to publish these data either as fully open data or as safeguarded data that are made available under the UK Data Service's End User Licence. Safeguarded data may be selected when anonymised data have been collected from human participants (via surveys or interviews), but where there is a risk of participant de-identification resulting from potential linkage to other data. The ReShare repository has inbuilt safeguards, such as requiring registration in order to access safeguarded datasets. This allows social science data to be shared and made available for research as openly as possible. The UK Data Service also reviews these data before their release, so researchers can be confident that they meet with the necessary ethical and legal requirements. The UK Data Service fully supports the concept of scientific transparency and is increasingly working with journals to help support their policies. The collaboration with Scientific Data gives social science and humanities researchers the opportunity to increase the discoverability of their data via submission of a Data Descriptor, whilst maintaining UK Data Service's safeguarding of sensitive data."

Springer and Jisc agree model to reduce cost of open access and subscriptions - Research Information

Posted: 04 Apr 2015 01:55 AM PDT

"Springer SBM and Jisc have agreed an arrangement to take into account UK scientists' need to comply with multiple open access policies while accessing scientific articles published by Springer, while containing the combined costs of article processing charges and subscriptions. The proposed agreement will cap the amount paid by UK higher education (HE) institutions to subscribe and maintain full access to Springer's subscription journals and to make their researchers' articles open access in those journals – the latter being in compliance with the requirements of HEFCE's Research Excellence Framework, RCUK's open access policy and other major funders such as the Charity Open Access Fund. The two parties hope the agreement will significantly reduce the cost and administration barriers to hybrid open access publishing for UK academic institutions, while supporting the transition to open access in a transparent and sustainable way.   Jisc and Springer first entered into negotiations in response to changes to the UK's open access requirements in early 2014. Jisc supports education and research through digital services, and approached Springer with a clear mandate and objectives to contain the costs to UK institutions.   'Springer is proud to work so closely with Jisc on this new direction in science publishing,' says Roné Robbetze, vice president for sales in north-western Europe and Africa. 'The UK has taken a major step in further developing open access and we are happy to be the first to have such a far-reaching arrangement here.'   Lorraine Estelle, executive director of digital resources and divisional CEO of Jisc Collections, added: 'Jisc sees the development of these models as essential in order to contain the total cost of ownership of scholarly communication. Springer has shown a deep understanding of the issue and contributed proactively in finding a model that addresses the needs of UK higher education institutions as they lead in the transition to open access.'"

Need cash? Publish your paper in the MalariaWorld Journal | Science/AAAS | News

Posted: 04 Apr 2015 01:48 AM PDT

"Most open-access (OA) journals make money by making authors pay an article processing charge to publish a paper. A small online malaria journal based in the Netherlands wants to turn that situation on its head. It is promising to pay authors €150 for every article it publishes from now on. The idea behind the move—possible thanks to a Dutch funding agency—is not only to lure authors to the journal, but also to drive home the message that academic publishing is way too expensive, says the journal's editor, Bart Knols. The upstart journal—which has so far published only 57 papers—is part of MalariaWorld, a website and networking tool that has some 8500 registered users in 140 countries. Two experts review papers submitted to the journal, Knols says; if they disagree, the journal's editors decide whether to publish. The plan is to reward every published paper; if there are multiple authors they will need to split the €150 ..."

More Alzheimer’s Journals Starting Up This Spring | ALZFORUM

Posted: 04 Apr 2015 01:41 AM PDT

"If you think there are too few journals on Alzheimer's research, take heart. Two open-access companion publications of Alzheimer's & Dementia, The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association, make their debuts this spring. DADM, which stands for Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring, hit the virtual newsstands last month, while TRCI, short for Translational Research & Clinical Interventions, will publish its first issue in April. DADM will detail research about biomarkers for progressive dementia, that is, markers that detect disease, track its severity, and reflect treatment response. TRCI will focus on clinical therapeutics for dementia and other aging processes that impair cognition, memory, or behavior ... Neither of these new journals will charge readers. Instead, they will charge author fees. Authors pay $2,000 to publish a research article, though members of the Alzheimer's Association professional society, ISTAART, pay half that. Shorter articles cost less, and letters to the editor or brief perspectives are free. These fees are similar to those charged by other open-access journals. In addition, DADM and TRCI promise fast peer review, and publication within a month of acceptance ..."

" ... And yet, that is precisely the status quo when it comes to the NAIC. Like other financial regulators, state insurance commissioners regularly collect data from the companies they regulate: quarterly and annual financial statements, investment schedules, reinsurance exhibits. But states also require regulated insurers to file those statements with the NAIC, which charges steep filings fees for the privilege. What the NAIC does with the data it collects can mostly be filed under the category of 'wholesaler.' It has natural clients in the major rating agencies and in financial data firms like Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters and SNL Financial. But the group also produces its own reports for sale and markets its ability to sell customized data to order..."

"Last week, timed to coincide with the publication of RCUK's review of the impact of Open Access so far, Westminster Higher Education Forum ran a one-day event on the Future for Open Access and the move towards Open Data. This move is in part driven by the UK government's recent support for open scientific research data where 'the default position of the results of publicly funded scientific research data should be one of Open Data, subject to concerns of privacy, security and commerciality.' It was a well-attended event that brought together an amalgam of publishers, University research managers, government officials and research librarians to share best practice in dealing with the key remaining Open Access implementation issues for UK Higher Education sector. The full agenda for the workshop is available online. In his opening Chris Tyler, Director of the Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology, pointed out that Open Access and Open Data have in the past been two big topics that continued to exist as part of separate tracks and debates. The occasion of a joint workshop shows that these tracks were now beginning to converge and offers great opportunities for more joined up thinking ..."

[From Google's English] " ... Universities, their strong research labs and their teaching teams are responsible for (public service) to produce scientific knowledge and to train and TK. Under these missions under the nature of knowledge, universities have therefore to share knowledge more widely : allowing acquisition through certificate courses open to any holder of a bachelor's degree or equivalent, but also opening wide access to the work of the research and its results, communicating through all relevant formats in a cultural diffusion process, and more generally by interacting with everyone, beyond the academic world, especially with the resources the Internet, by enrolling in an open, up to integrate a collaborative approach.
