SOS: Selling Open Scholarship - Innovations in librarians advocating for open scholarship

Professor Lucy Montgomery, Professor of Knowledge Innovation, Curtin University, and Co-Lead of the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative

This talk considers the role that big scholarly data might play in supporting a transition to open scholarship in an Australian context. Drawing on the very large data set and technical infrastructure developed by the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative, the presentation will look at what data can tell us about Australia’s OA performance in a global context; as well as what we might learn from countries and regions with much higher rates of open scholarship.

Martin Borchert, University Librarian, University of New South Wales: Selling Open Scholarship

University libraries are well positioned to help lead our institutions through the transition to open access, open science, open scholarship, and open education. Martin Borchert will discuss the opportunities, partnerships, infrastructure, and research culture needed to help accelerate the change to OA. Martin will provide an overview of how the Open Access Australasia (formerly AOASG) is working with CAUL to accelerate the transition to OA in Australia, New Zealand, and internationally.
