Research sovereignty has emerged as a key issue this month, as funders decide rights to research should no longer be given away. Check out my on why a global shift to OA has big implications for Australia: https://t.co/TvITvH9PQl #openknowledge #openaccess @COKIproject

Thoroughly enjoyed the @RR_Oxford launch yesterday. Amy Warner May gave a shout-out to all the work being done by @bodleianlibs, including our @oxforduni_repo. @ukrepro @OAOxford

INTEREST (and interesting): "Research integrity papers among top 10 most shared in 2019" https://t.co/wVqVKm19L4 (in Times Higher Ed - not OA)

@EpistemeHealth @ashleydfarley @beholdthesea And please, please *read* the publishing agreements you sign. Expecting us to "just fix it" when you discover you've given away your copyright (or other rights) in a written contract is a challenge we can live without.

[Sarah Barkla @ORA_Librarian]

@EpistemeHealth @ashleydfarley @beholdthesea No, but we expect to have our knowledge and expertise recognised when we give advice. Having it *valued* is a plus. Shared academic librarian experience agrees that being told *we* are threatening the careers of researchers and academics can be soul destroying.

Cilip campaigner and CEO @NickPoole1 makes a great case for supporting our libraries. They provide knowledge, understanding and opportunities for growth to everyone or any background. Closing them is wrong. Blaming it on economic downturn? Also wrong. https://t.co/9JITyFpVQj

Since the Mirror story re library cuts I’ve seen many people stating that libraries aren’t a statutory service which is factually incorrect, so here’s some info

We have projects started or scheduled for start for Finnish, French, and Norwegian and from countries across Africa.

@CrossrefOrg and @bodleianlibs host #OpenConOx2019 @open_con

[Sarah Barkla @ORA_Librarian]

@rachaellammey @britishlibrary @EThOSBL @open_con Always a pleasure to hear Sara Gould talk about her repository work at @britishlibrary. An interesting correlation with @kodertj's work with @_OpenPharma - the importance of individual experience as revealed in interviews and #casestudies.

@bodleianlibs and @CrossrefOrg #OpenConOx2019

[Sarah Barkla @ORA_Librarian]

Great #OpenConOx2019 this afternoon, jointly hosted by @CrossrefOrg and @bodleianlibs. Particular thanks to @NessaFairhurst, @rachaellammey and our speakers Judith Barnsby (@DOAJplus), Sara Gould (@britishlibrary), @kodertj and @KiraAllmann. @open_con

[Vanessa Fairhurst @NessaFairhurst]

@WhoseKnowledge project on decolonising the internet’s languages. Only 7% of the world’s languages appear in published material and even a smaller fraction online - wow. @KiraAllmann @CrossrefOrg @open_con @bodleianlibs #OpenConOx2019

[Vanessa Fairhurst @NessaFairhurst]

@_OpenPharma aim for their lay medical summaries to be at reading age 9 - it’s hard to simplify scientific research but really useful and everyone prefers to read this than the full paper. #OpenConOx2019

[Vanessa Fairhurst @NessaFairhurst]

#OpenConOx2019 is off to a great start with Judith Barnsby from @DOAJplus talking about their global database of gold OA journals. @open_con @CrossrefOrg @bodleianlibs

[Vanessa Fairhurst @NessaFairhurst]

Our next #OpenConOx2019 speaker is Sara Gould from @britishlibrary talking about the research projects including @EThOSBL the UK’s national OA thesis service. @open_con @CrossrefOrg @bodleianlibs

[Vanessa Fairhurst @NessaFairhurst]

We’re back from the break #OpenConOx2019 Kicking off with Tim Koder from @_OpenPharma talking about the need for transparency in pharmaceutical research. “Only 32% of the public trust pharmaceutical research completely or a great deal” @open_con @CrossrefOrg @bodleianlibs

Oxford has its challenges. But it also has its perks.
