The Open Library of the Humanities has just (recently released)[https://www.openlibhums.org/news/319/] a great video brief on the matter of OA for scholarly publication.

Here's the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp0Jko0ZBcE

I think this would be an excellent piece to add to this module, and since it's openly licensed for re-use ( 🥇 ), there's no barriers for us to do so - just wonderful ❤️

It would be great if we all follow the same naming convention so the repo keeps the same structure as will have the module on Eliademy.

Also, this would help the consistency between file names and less swearing when moving files (that have 'spaces' in their name) in a terminal.

• Example of this repo: Some files are named Main_xxx_xxx, others MAIN_Xxx Xxx, ect.

I suggest a naming convention where we can order all files according numerical order, as simple as

• 1_MAIN_global.md
• 2_MAIN_introduction.md
• 1_MAIN_xxx_xxx_xxx_.md

reason: the focus on papers is too narrow, particularly for those of us from the SSH disciplines, who have a stronger dependency on OA monographs/books

alternative: "Open Access to Research Literature"

.... whadda y'all think?

You fail to mention in your resources http://repec.org/, one of the oldest open indexes to grey literature (mostly in economics). It is not centralized, but has been around since the last 1990s, and has links between published (paywalled) articles and their corresponding working papers.

Hi,
Could we maybe, together with the SPARC Author Addendum, include the OpenAIRE template for addendum to publication agreement?

Best, Alicia

Likeminded initiatives already developed exercises that we could include, such as

Hi, spurred by issue 22 perhaps this overview of preprint servers is useful as illustration somewhere in this module. We also have a version with all servers linked.

I don't know if you have planned some, but I could not find any caption for the Figures in this module. I think having a wordy description would help everyone's comprehension when taking the course, but most importantly, the audio description will make it even more accessible to more people.

A research grant proposal is the starting point of the research pipeline. It may be accepted, rejected or in a waiting list for further detailed review. Journals like RIOJournal give an opportunity to upload the grant proposals. Nevertheless, very less has been discussed on the pros and cons of uploading them.

Major questions that need to be discussed:

• Should all accepted proposals be published online and granted a persistent identifier?
• In case of rejected grant proposals, how wise is it to upload them? Will it create a bias for future grant requests?
• Should proposal grant reviews be made publicly available?
• What are the possible open licences for grant proposals and the review comments?
• Any possible issues on uploading accepted grant proposals? Who should upload them? Funding agencies? or individual contributors?
• Should contributors to the proposal upload a grant proposal like preprint papers at the time of submission? Is it possible that funding agency directly refer the 'preprint' like grant request?

@Protohedgehog Jon, do you think adding the quiz set to eliademy would make sense, or too early? I do have a bit of free time on my hands at the moment, and would be happy to do this :)

Also, and apart from that, do you need a wingman 👾 for any of the open tasks re: content development? Or should I just have a go at any one of them... ?

To push content in the book, it would be best to get all content into one file.

We can probably get a small code doing that (?)

Simply add any issues you wish to be discussed here as comments.

Grey lit might be understood as the backbone of Open Access, with the term referring

to “any documen-tary material that is not commercially published and is typically composed of technical reports, working papers, business documents, and conference proceed-ings”1 or the “quasi-printed reports, unpublished but circulated papers, unpub-lished proceedings of conferences, printed programs from conferences, and the other non-unique material which seems to constitute the bulk of our modern [..] manuscript collections.”2 In the educational context it could also include recorded lectures and other course content, student papers, thesis’ repositories, etc. The dominant theme of these conceptualizations is the unpublished nature of the literature [...]

How about we dedicate a chapter to this, then including #22
