Research Development and Administration use-case

[Christina Drummond]

Greetings Everyone,

Over the past few weeks, this community has reflected on the needs and challenges that university press management, editorial, and marketing/PR staff have around OAeBU data. Snapshots of the developing use-case boards are attached. 

What's next: 

1. At least two members of this group have voiced grant-writing and grant administration interests related to usage data, but our three use-cases to date did not explicitly call out this role.
   If you have a need for OAeBU data for research development, grant writing, or research administration, please note your current or future uses of OAeBU data at: https://join.groupmap.com/476-788-835 

With this additional info, we'll be in a position to consider what specific data visualizations, queries, or other data solutions could meet the needs you have identified. 

I plan to host a few discussions on these topics in 2-3 weeks. In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely end to the summer.

Best regards,

Christina

All: 

As we are a global effort - please note your country in the research administration/development idea so that we understand whether there are unique needs depending on national funding priorities and approaches. 

Thank you,

Christina

Hi Christina:

 

I just tried to go back to the group to add the country to my comment for the grants section, but the below message appears.

Hi Amanda,

Thank you for letting me know.

I will troubleshoot, although I anticipate we won’t have a solution until Monday. Please hold off on working on the board until I let you know the issue is resolved. 

Thanks for understanding!

Christina

Hi Christiana et al.,

Thanks for pulling this together. I wonder whether, under “Activities that need data” we might also want to include data on how the absence of OA funding in nonWestern European–-North American countries (1) affects adversely the professional publishing opportunities of individuals in those countries; (2) deprives the global community of research findings performed outside of the Western European–North American axis. Almost without question free research is being used more than resources that cost money. But I question the premise that usage of OA resources versus paid-for access in every instance reflects the value, validity, and significance of the research. That is not to say that OA research is not valuable. Obviously it is. But it does question whether solid, valuable research is being ignored or overlooked by those who can only afford “free.” I’m particularly speaking with a humanities and social science publishing perspective, but I suspect much of this holds true in the STEM fields as well. I’d welcome thoughts on this. Thus, simply put, the lack of access to publish is a significant issue that suppresses research and should be a factor in evaluating OA.

Greetings Everyone: 

You can again add your research development and/or research administration OAeBU data needs at at: https://join.groupmap.com/476-788-835  

Patrick, you raise some great points. Please capture them in the Press Director board, as I'm not sure if the need is tied to advocacy activity (e.g. institutional or funder reports), or if it'd fall under "Understand impacts of OA funding..." as you're trying to get at the lack thereof. 

I'd encourage all to comment on this within the Press Director board itself: https://join.groupmap.com/426-506-712
