Evento aupiciado por la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) y la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC). / A mandate for ETD deposit at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) was first made in 2001. Retrospective conversion projects with author consent, and assumed consent, finished in 2011, producing an ETD collection, 20,000 strong, online in open access, making HKU first in Asia with all of its thesis collection online, and perhaps the single institution in the world with the largest such collection. In 2011 these ETDs were merged into the HKU IR, The HKU Scholars Hub. Usage statistics of the Hub increased dramatically. The January 2012 Webometric rankings of world repositories showed the Hub climbing 114 places to number 50. In the race to grab stakeholder attention, the addition of ETDs to the Hub is a win / win situation. The Hub shows records for publications, grant projects, author profiles, organizations, all interlinked to each other, showing all aspects of research at HKU [use idea of CRIS?]. Professoriate profiles in the Hub show a list of their supervised research students, and links to their finished fulltext theses, also in the Hub. These links are likewise reciprocated for thesis supervisors in the thesis records. All HKU theses now carry a DOI which increases discovery, and allows import of CrossRef citation data. Rates of download of HKU ETDs have doubled almost every year since 2001. All indications lead to the conclusion that having all facets of research in one repository, add value to each other, and increase rates of discovery and re-use. This then further brings increases in invitations for collaborative research, employment, speaking engagements.., with a concomitant increase of the hosting institution.

The repository for electronic theses and dissertations is called UPeTD and is managed by the Open Scholarship office. More full-time PhD students have enrolled at UP – many of them from African countries or disadvantaged groups within South Africa. Our student body is a diverse group – in the graduate group almost 50% come from other countries in Africa. UPeTD has been in operation for more than a decade. During this time the process has not really changed, but it has undergone staff and management changes. Seeing that the campus is in constant flux with new supervisors arriving and older ones retiring, a re-evaluation of the service, its process, access options and copyright seems relevant at this time. Methods: All UP supervisors were requested to complete a questionnaire. The purpose of the questionnaire was to evaluate the adoption of the electronic submission of theses and dissertations to the UPeTD database; investigate and analyse the current process; gain insight into supervisors’ attitudes towards the UPeTD repository. Objectives of the questionnaire were to determine the usefulness of UPeTD as a repository; establish the benefits for UPeTD users; measure policy knowledge and compliance; determine the most popular communication channel with our clients; and establish the current knowledge and awareness level of the supervisors. Conclusions: In this paper the quantitative and qualitative results of the study will be shared. We will also share key aspects of our management of electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) and our improved knowledge of the use and usefulness of our institutional repository and our choices of open access software. Recommendations and future improvements, informed by the data, will be discussed.

It includes e-prints of research data, e-learning materials and other forms of institutional intellectual outputs, which are generally not available or preserved elsewhere. Digital publishing, global networking, new researches, and improved communication among scholars are driving the demand for broader access. In the present scenario, IR’s are become an indispensable component for information and knowledge sharing in the universities and higher education world. The Institutional Repository increased visibility reflects a high quality of scholarship; this display of value can translate into tangible benefits including the funding from public and private sources that drives in part from an institution status and reputation. The paper explores and discusses the conceptual development, benefits, standard, sustainability & funding of Institutional repositories. Paper has also discussed about the open source software’s and Commercial Digital Repository Software that are available to create and maintain in institutional repositories. This paper also tries to explore the contents of IRs and skill requirement for the implantations of the successful Institutional Repository.

Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit illegalen Zugriffen von Forschern auf die Schattenbibliothek Sci-Hub, im Zusammenhang zu Kündigungen von Zeitschriftenabonnements und -lizenzen an wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken. Durch einen stetigen Anstieg der Kosten, sind viele Bibliotheken gezwungen diese zu kündigen. In dieser Arbeit wird auch eine Analyse der neueren Literatur zu diesen Themen vorgenommen. Die Forschungsfrage der Arbeit lautet wie folgt: „Gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen Entwicklungen in Nationalkonsortien und den entsprechenden nationalen Zugriffzahlen auf Sci-Hub?“. Dazu werden Daten betrachtet, die über die Nutzung von Sci-Hub im Jahr 2017 informieren. Untersucht werden die Länder Deutschland, Taiwan, die Niederlande und Luxemburg. Die Daten wurden auf einer MySQL-Datenbank gespeichert und von dort abgefragt; die Weiterverarbeitung der Zahlen erfolgte in Excel. In allen Ländern konnten im Zuge abgeschalteter Verlagszugänge steigende Zugriffszahlen auf Sci-Hub beobachtet werden, allerdings gab es Unterschiede bei der weiteren Nutzung, nachdem Wiedererlangen von lizensierten Zugängen an wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken. Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass Forschende Sci-Hub hauptsächlich nutzen, da ihnen eine einfachere Möglichkeit des Zuganges zu benötigter Literatur zu fehlen scheint. Aber auch Bequemlichkeit und sinkende moralische Bedenken scheinen eine nicht unerhebliche Rolle zu spielen.:Abkürzungsverzeichnis Abbildungsverzeichnis 1. Einleitung 1.1.

Authors analyses the health scholarly publication.

Conferencia ETD2017, realizada en Washington DC, 7-9 de Agosto de 2017. / In the last three years Peru has gone through changes in the process of strengthening and disseminating open access, especially regarding digital theses and research or governmental data. Enactment of Law 30035, which establishes and regulates the Open Access National Digital Repository of Science, Technology and Innovation; the Regulations of the National Registry of Research Papers Submitted for Academic Degrees and Professional Titles, RENATI; the National Strategy for Open Governmental Data, Peru 2017-2021; and the Peruvian Open Governmental Data Model constitute all a legal framework that fosters open access. Within this context, since 2013 the Peruvian University for Applied Science, UPC, has implemented policies aimed to foster open access to academic and scientific information, as well to support the use of interoperable technological platforms. As a result, in March of 2013, the UPC Academic Repository was published. And, recently, UPC adopted as mandatory the open access publication of bachelor’s and master’s theses. In the last three years, the UPC Academic Repository ranked among the top in the Webometrics Repositories (Peru), and showed a significant improvement at the Latin American and World level: At the national level, it went from being ranked 13th in January 2013 to 3rd in January 2017. Worldwide, it went from being ranked 1,516th in January 2013 to 849th in January 2017. In Latin America, in January 2017 it was ranked 62nd among 217 repositories. All actions implemented have been complemented with the following strategies: the open access publication of the theses-related data; the use of diverse metadata standards —Dublin Core Qualifiers, ETD-MS, DRIVER 2.0 and OpenAIRE—; the use of the OAI-PMH interoperable protocol; the implementation of identifiers of digital content —DOI and Handle— and identifiers for users —ORCID and Google Profile—; and curation of digital content. Future activities will be oriented to increase visibility of the UPC repository contents. To this end, we have proposed the following: to use DOI in bachelor’s and master’s theses; increase the number of bibliographical records for theses and their data; monitor and assess consultations to UPC theses as shown by national repositories ALICIA and RENATI; and, finally, implement an automated system for managing theses integrated into the UPC Academic Repository.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / The traditional model of scholarly communication uses journals, databases, and conferences. With the onset of the digital age, there has been a change in the system of scholarly communication, creating new publishing models, such as open access and institutional repositories, which have emerged as important, scholarly communication models. The research questions addressed in this study investigated the value of using altmetrics, as opposed to traditional metrics for measuring the impact of publications by researchers into gender-based violence (GBV) within South Africa.

Den Wunsch, dass wissenschaftliche Inhalte frei verfügbar und nutzbar sein sollten, gibt es nicht erst seit dem tiefgreifenden Strukturwandel durch das Internet. Die technischen Möglichkeiten haben diesen Wunsch allerdings in eine konkrete Forderung gewandelt, die sich in dem Begriff Open Access manifestiert, und die von nationalen und internationalen Wissenschaftsorganisationen getragen wird. Die Internationale Open Access Week gilbt all - jährlich als Anlass, um Open Access nicht nur in Fachkreisen zu diskutieren, sondern auch mit WissenschaftlerInnen, StudentInnen und allen Interessierten. Die SLUB Dresden hat die Woche vom 22. bis 28. Oktober genutzt, um für Open Access mit verschiedenen Veranstaltungen zu werben.

Virginia Cooperative Extension's Family Nutrition Program (FNP), which includes EFNEP and SNAP-Ed, works to help limited-resource families across the state make informed food-choices. Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) lacks open-access physical activity resources representing individuals with varying weights, races, and ethnicities. In 2015, an integrated research-practice partnership was initiated for the development of an evidence-based physical activity resource for peer educators employed by FNP to use. The video suite, Move More, Virginia!, was created as open-access and includes demographically diverse individuals, representative of FNP clients. Study I determined client perceptions of physical activity and preferences for new resources. Study II identified FNP peer educators' perceptions of physical activity, their resource needs, and intent to use Move More, Virginia! resources. Both studies involved quantitative and qualitative data through surveys and focus groups. Formative data collected in Study I revealed the prominent themes related to clients (n=12) were physical activity facilitators (n= 100 meaning units (MU)) and physical activity barriers (n=77 MU). In Study II, peer educator responses(n=15) led to the emergence of four themes related to physical activity itself: barriers to incorporating physical activity within FNP (n=189 MU), physical activity facilitators (n=106), current delivery of physical activity (n=102 MU), and physical activity barriers (n= 16 MU). When prompted to share video specific feedback, the top theme was positive video feedback (n = 115 MU). Identified themes and subthemes provide deeper understanding of the organizational culture within FNP as thoughts, perceptions, and barriers to incorporating physical activity into FNP curriculum are highlighted. / Master of Science / Faculty and staff in the Virginia Cooperative Extension’s Family Nutrition Program (FNP), which includes EFNEP and SNAP-Ed, work to help limited resource families across the state of Virginia make informed food choices. In addition to nutrition, physical activity is related to health status. However, Virginia Cooperative Extension lacks free physical activity resources representing individuals with varying weights, ethnicities, and fitness levels. In 2015, an integrated research-practice partnership was initiated for the development of a physical activity resource for FNP peer educators to use during programming. The collection of videos, <i>Move More, Virginia!</i>, was created as a free resource and to include individuals that represented the community. Study I determined client perceptions of existing physical activity resources and preferences for new resources. Study II identified perceptions of physical activity and the resource needs of FNP peer educators to deliver physical activity programming. The studies involved concurrent qualitative data through focus group interviews and quantitative data through survey distribution. Results showed common client themes were physical activity facilitators and barriers. The top peer educator theme was barriers to incorporating physical activity within FNP. When prompted to share feedback on the <i>Move More, Virginia!</i> videos themselves, the emergent theme was positive video feedback. Thoughts, perceptions, and barriers to incorporating <i>Move More, Virginia!</i> into FNP curriculum are highlighted. These findings will guide future physical activity integration within FNP programs.

Yes / Neighbouring Trusts have implemented open access (walk-in) services to shorten waiting times in x-ray. Despite this, staff perceptions of their effectiveness have not yet been studied. This study forms the initial baseline evaluation phase of wider participatory action research investigating the implementation of an open access service for general practitioner musculoskeletal x-ray referrals. Staff perceptions regarding effectiveness of the current service were gathered, including their opinions regarding the effectiveness of open access services. Qualitative data were obtained via three semi-structured interviews with radiology management and two (cross-site) staff focus groups over a 2 month period. Template analysis was used to interpret the data with the aid of NVIVO 11 to facilitate analysis. Template analysis uncovered several drivers for changing the current service including waiting times, external pressures, patient choice and administrative delays. ‘Flexibility’ was the key theme to arise during discussion regarding the effectiveness of the current service. Potential for improved access was highlighted as a major benefit to the implementation of open access, however ‘workload’, ‘staffing’ and ‘communication’ were all identified as potential barriers to its implementation. Although several staff members were satisfied with current service several drivers for change were identified that need to be addressed in order to truly deliver a service that fulfils the patients' needs. Results will inform the wider participatory action research that will investigate the barriers to implementing an open access service and identify whether this is indeed a suitable method of addressing the drivers for change.
