Setkání na téma Open Science v Národní technické knihovně

Na začátku června se v Národní technické knihovně konala první česká událost s názvem „National EOSC Tripartite Event“ následovaná Národním dnem otevřené vědy. Obě akce měly za cíl přivést k jednomu stolu všechny zúčastněné strany a poskytnout jim aktuální informace o evropské politice v oblasti otevřené vědy a stavu implementace EOSC v České republice.

V rámci příkladů dobré praxe na akci vystoupila také ředitelka Nakladatelství Munipress Alena Mizerová, která prezentovala aktivity Masarykovy univerzity v oblasti Diamond Open Access.

Otevřený přístup k vědeckým publikacím (Open Access) je totiž jedním z pilířů otevřené vědy, takže téma Open Access v Česku nemohlo chybět. Z našeho pohledu se bohužel přehnaně zdůrazňovaly tzv. transformační dohody (transformative agreements), které jsou bezesporu významné a aktuální, diskuzi kolem Open Access však nelze redukovat jen na ně. (Více o tomto tématu v některém z dalších příspěvků.)

Od roku 2020 se mluví o přístupu Diamond Open Access, což je model vědeckého publikování, v němž časopisy nevybírají poplatky ani od autorů, ani od čtenářů (více např. zde). Právě tento způsob se ukazuje jako nosný pro ideály open science a získává si větší a větší podporu v rámci Evropy (viz nedávné rozhodnutí Rady EU o otevřeném vědeckém publikování).

Masarykova univerzita vydává 45 „diamantových open access“ časopisů, z nichž mnohé mají velmi dobrou pověst a jsou indexovány předními vědeckými platformami. Z diskuze, která se na toto téma rozvinula, vyplynulo, že by bylo velmi vhodné „diamantový“ přístup podporovat i v Česku, ale chybí data o financování těchto časopisů. Munipress se v tomto ohledu rozhodl hozenou rukavici zdvihnout, spojit síly s dalšími českými vydavateli „diamatových“ odborných časopisů a chybějící data poskytnout. Věříme, že to bude další krok na cestě nejen k uznání, ale také k podpoře Diamond Open Access přístupu v České republice.

The International Space Station (@ISS) offers a vantage point like no other. Astronauts aboard the ISS captured these stunning cloud formations as the space station orbited above Earth. ⁣ ⁣ Love watching the clouds go by? Download the Globe Observer app on your mobile device and you can join the @GLOBEprogram community and contribute important scientific data to NASA and GLOBE, your local community, and students and scientists worldwide. ⁣ ⁣ By photographing clouds, recording sky observations, and comparing them with NASA satellite data, you can help scientists gain a new perspective on clouds that satellites just can't provide: from the ground looking up! This new perspective will help refine satellite-derived models and enhance scientific understanding of Earth's atmosphere.⁣ ⁣ The app is available on the App Store and Google Play. ⁣ ⁣ Image descriptions: ⁣ White and pink clouds cover Earth as the space station orbited above the coast of the Red Sea, the northernmost tropical sea in the world. A roll-out solar array is displayed in the bottom right corner of the image.⁣ ⁣ Layers of clouds cover North Africa. They have a swirl like appearance and are grouped over the surface. ⁣ ⁣ A translucent sheet of clouds cover the sky above North Africa. They divide the image horizontally, glowing in shades of pink and gold. To the bottom right of the image, one of the station's roll-out solar arrays peeks through.⁣ ⁣ Credit: NASA⁣ ⁣ #NASA #ISS #InternationalSpaceStation #SpaceStation #Earth #Clouds #Astronauts #Photography #Nature #CitizenScience #OpenScience

Online Consumer Research: The Critical Role of Data Quality

In the expanding field of online consumer research, vast volumes of data are collected through web surveys, social media analytics, and e-commerce behavior tracking. However, while the quantity of data continues to grow exponentially, the quality of that data is often underreported or inadequately described in academic and industry research.

[automaticvr]

Join middle school teachers and parenting adults from Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), in Louisville, Kentucky, for a discussion focused on the impact a co-design process made in family engagement during our Carnegie Family Science Project. This panel will discuss: the use of co-design principles to build virtual reality experiences based upon OpenSciEd curricular units. the trials, tribulations, and successes of incorporating co-design practices which increase opportunities and outcomes. Participants will . . . walk away with key elements related to NCFL’s implementation of co-design principles in programming, and receive practical tips from panelists to help them get started with incorporating the co-design model in their programming.

my university's library doesnt have a pdf copy of the dsm so guess who now gets to check old lecture slides on my harddrive for diagnostic criteria from the official dsm translation so i can compare them to the english dsm pdf i DO have to try and cite the dsm as a primary source. academia would be so much more fun if we lived in an OpenScience utopia.

Check out this incredible look into the teamwork that goes into figuring out how to bring a species back to an area that they once roamed.🦁| Repost @fancy_scientist | I had to base today’s #MammaloftheDay off of this breaking research! A few years ago, a LION🦁was discovered in Plateaux Bateke National Park, Gabon where it was thought to have been extinct. Until fairly recently, #lions have been in the forests🌳 of Gabon (where I did my PhD research), but evidence of a breeding population has not been observed for over 20 years. To scientists’ great surprise, camera traps📸 picked up a single male #lion. Now this raises questions to reestablish lions in #Gabon, but if there are no other individuals, we need to import lions from elsewhere. Getting lionesses that at too genetically distinct from this lion could lead to outbreeding depression, where the offspring are less fit. Researchers therefore collected hair non-invasively from this lion to determine which populations across Africa it most resembles. The lion is closely related to individuals killed in this landscape decades before (I highlighted in green), BUT it is not similar to lions from other nearby countries. Look where it fits - with the South African lions. What this means is that lions from the past in this region had pre-existing high genetic diversity OR there was a long-distance dispersal from a southern African country. The researchers think the former is the case, and this is an amazing example of combining camera traps, genetics, and museums to solve address current conservation issues. Photos by P.
