Arts scholarship is tough in the current landscape, working under a government that increasingly values STEM and in a culture that has increasing requirements in open research. Research data management, born of engineering disciplines, is not easily applicable to visual or performing arts and nor should it be. Significant changes in the language, approach, infrastructure and drivers or goals need to happen in any research data management intervention in order to provide arts research with the support it needs, not for it’s data to yield maximum impact, but for it’s compost to turn into the brightest blooms. Lancaster University has a small but impactful research output in this discipline, and it can be difficult to engage researchers in the sharing and publishing of research data when they are incredibly unfamiliar with the process and in most cases do not consider themselves creators of data at all. In this paper, 5 key challenges are presented as a way of articulating the complexity in this area, and arguments are presented that maintain that research data management is entirely relevant for the arts. This contextual understanding combined with upskilling has begun to develop relationships at Lancaster, resulting in effective publishing of the following dataset in our institutional repository: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/news/life-survey-helping-shape-the-future-of-our-region

technical paper

The UKSG Annual Conference is a major event in the scholarly communications calendar which attracts delegates each year from around the world - librarians, publishers, content providers, consultants and intermediaries. The conference combines high-quality plenary presentations, lightning talks and breakout sessions with entertaining social events and trade exhibition.

The UKSG Annual Conference is a major event in the scholarly communications calendar which attracts delegates each year from around the world - librarians, publishers, content providers, consultants and intermediaries.

Nicola will talk about how Lancaster has mapped scholarly output onto the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using SciVal and Altmetric Explorer data. She will present an overview of Lancaster’s research, exploring subject differences and areas of strengths/for improvement. She will also detail how this information has been used across the University, including at different levels of seniority. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how Lancaster has contributed to the SDGs, as well as potential methodology to use at their own university.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Mapping Institutional Research

UKRI’s policy statement mandating OA monographs will be implemented on January 1st, 2024. In less than a year we will see a shift from a hypothetical future for OA books to a concrete policy with a hard deadline. How will the sector get there successfully and sustainably? This session will discuss what is needed from libraries, publishers, policy-makers and research funders in order to meet the imminent OA monograph mandates not only from UKRI but also, in Europe, cOAlition S and the PALOMERA project’s ambitious alignment of OA book policies. In the UK there are also potential implications of the next REF.

Mandates, policies, and collaboration for the success of Open Access monographs

In the UK, the increase in transitional agreements (TAs) has prompted us to ask new questions about how we measure the impact of the transition to OA, the performance of agreements, and the metrics we need. With COUNTER usage reports, we expect to see a shift in interest to global usage for individual research outputs. In this presentation, we cover: • Drivers, opportunities and challenges in open access usage reporting for libraries and consortia such as Jisc • Roles of publisher and institutional repository usage statistics • How COUNTER 5.1 supports this work • Next steps, lessons learned and the practical takeaways

A new role for COUNTER usage data in open access agreements

With the growth of E-Books and online learning platforms, more data is generated by Libraries every day. We want to start a discussion that increases awareness and knowledge of the varied kinds of data that libraries and users are generating and uncover the benefits and the harms that unregulated, unknown, data processing can lead to. This is an opportunity to develop cross-sector knowledge about publisher/supplier requirements whilst also learning how to prioritise data security and protection for our users. The generation of data has largely been taken for granted and as a sector we have failed to engage critically with the implications of large-scale sets of non-GDPR data and how this can affect the adoption of learning resources. We are concerned that information about our users and their activities are being increasingly used in ways that disadvantage Libraries and want to expand our collective knowledge to ensure that we are not being taken advantage of. This session seeks to bring together participants from across the sector to explore ways we can all benefit from data use.

#dataSOS: What's going on with Library data & what can we do about it?

Early Career Researchers in science and social sciences are both the senior researchers of the future but as doctoral candidates and post-doctoral researchers are responsible for a significant part of the actual work represented in the ever-increasing number of scientific research outputs. As part of a team from 2016- 2021 across eight countries we researched the findings from questions to the same cohort of ECRs over this period. This both included the millennial attitudes and practices of the cohorts plus also the impact of the pandemic on their behaviour. This session shall concentrate on our findings in particular from UK and US ECRs, highlighting the elements of most relevance interest to publishers and librarians

Early career scientists. Their attitudes to and practices in scholarly communication and the impact of the pandemic on them.

Joanna Ball Chair of UKSG will officially open the 2023 conference. This will be followed by: * Greetings from NASIG, Presentation of the John Merriman Joint UKSG/NASIG Award presented by Carolyn Kirby from Taylor and Francis, presentation to the sponsored students and early career professionals.

Opening of the Conference

Indigenous or traditional knowledge (IK) holders face a lack of respect and appreciation for such knowledge. Respect for culture means following protocols, accepting diversity, and recognizing indigenous cultures as living and continuously evolving. This article advances understandings to allow libraries, archives and museums to respect, affirm, and recognize indigenous ownership of traditional and living indigenous knowledges and respect protocols for their use. Preserving IK in academic libraries, using new technologies and how to respect indigenous culture in the preservation process will be explored. Intellectual property rights of knowledge holders, respect for the rights and adopted procedures will be described, with IK preservation activities assessed. Recommendations for more efficiently handling IK preservation as respect for culture are made.

Indigenous Knowledge Preservation as a sign of respect for culture: Concerns of libraries, archives and museums

Q&A Session with Colleen Campbell, Max Planck Digital Library, Mac-Anthony Cobblah, University of Cape Coast and Adetoun Oyelude, University of Ibadan.

Plenary 1 Q&A

This Talk will update UKSG on the establishment of a new Association for UK-based institutional publishers (‘new’ university presses, library-led publishing ventures etc) who are either fully or partly open access. We will set out why the Association is being set up, its aims and next steps in its development. Institutional publishers face specific challenges and coming together will ensure the success and continued growth of this fast-emerging new sector within scholarly publishing. We will invite input from attendees about what is needed in this space and look to raise awareness amongst those who might find membership beneficial in developing their own publishing ventures.

Open Publishing UK: Introducing a New Community of Practice

As a member of the Scholarly Publications and Research Data team, I have worked collaboratively with colleagues in Research and Learning Support to integrate key concepts and information about developments within Open Research into an online Academic Library Skills course. I will speak about my experience of working on this project, which sits at the intersection of information literacy instruction and scholarly communications, bringing together aspects of librarianship which often remain distinct. The themes of the intersection of information literacy instruction and scholarly communications and collaborative working across teams are what I will focus on during this lightning talk
