Ten Years Of Tuwhera: A Commitment To Sustaining Open Access Publishing, Donna Coventry Jun 2026

Ten Years Of Tuwhera: A Commitment To Sustaining Open Access Publishing, Donna Coventry

FORCE 2026

Tucked away, far from the conference circuit, is a part of the world which doesn’t tend to make the headlines when it comes to open access initiatives. New Zealand and by extension, the South Pacific, is a region struggling with a history of colonisation and trying to make systematic change around decolonisation - open access to research about ‘our place in the world’ is vitally important. 

Ten years ago Auckland University of Technology’s library (Te Mātāpuna) made the decision to start hosting Diamond open access journals. Starting with two established journals, the service was named Tuwhera which can be translated …

Managing Ai Bot Access To Open Scholarly Infrastructures, Petr Knoth Jun 2026

Managing Ai Bot Access To Open Scholarly Infrastructures, Petr Knoth

FORCE 2026

The rapid rise of generative AI has created unprecedented demand for large, high-quality research corpora. Open access repositories and other open scholarly infrastructures have therefore become primary sources for AI bots, because they host research that is not universally reliable, but remains far more evidence-based than most web content. This is both an opportunity and a strain: repositories are now more valuable than ever, but machine traffic brings sustainability, capacity and policy challenges. Repositories may be able to scale, but who should fund that scaling, and under what conditions?

The core dilemma is how to curb abusive high-load bot activity …

Beyond The Launch: Seven Years Of Sustaining An Open Educational Resource After The Grant Ends, Susan Gardner Archambault Jun 2026

Beyond The Launch: Seven Years Of Sustaining An Open Educational Resource After The Grant Ends, Susan Gardner Archambault

FORCE 2026

This presentation shares seven years of lessons from maintaining Project CORA (Community of Online Research Assignments), an award-winning, open-access platform where librarians and educators share adaptable information literacy assignments. Launched in 2016 with grant support and strong community engagement, CORA saw early success: international page views across 150+ countries, 200+ shared assignments and teaching resources, and community-building features like "adapt this assignment" and leaderboards.

But when funding ended in 2018, Project CORA entered what many open projects experience but few discuss publicly: the precarious post-grant phase, when initial funding and enthusiasm fade but infrastructure still needs support. Annual contributions dropped …

[Birds-Of-A-Feather] Understanding And Handling Software Plagiarism In The Age Of Generative Ai, Daniel S. Katz, Scott C. Edmunds

FORCE 2026

Computing and software have supported research since their inception, and continue to play a significant role in knowledge production. However, the means of communicating research methods and results were developed long before computing existed, and the research community lacks best practices for documenting computational research elements transparently, reproducibly, and reusably.
Publishers are now more accepting of the inclusion of software (typically, source code) associated with submitted manuscripts, and many want to support processes to vouch for the integrity of software just as they do for other content, such as ensuring that ethical and legal concerns such as authorship, plagiarism, copyrights …

Diamond Open Access Journals In India: Status, Sustainability And Challenges, Mallikarjun Dora, Kanagasabai K, Raj Kishor Kampa

FORCE 2026

Open-access publishing has transformed scholarly communication in recent decades. The share of OA articles between 2014 and 2024 increased by 26%, from a modest 14% in 2014 to 40% in 2024. OA journals have evolved over time and exist in various models based on funding mechanisms, including the Gold, Green, Hybrid, and Diamond models. While OA publishing emerged in response to scientific inequality, middle- and low-income countries face the barrier of high Article Processing Charges (APC), which hinder them from publishing in those journals (Alperin, 2022). The Article Processing Charges are part of the Gold and Hybrid OA models, where …

Can Ai Help In Systematic Reviews? A Comparative Study Of Manual, Ai-Assisted, And Ai-Dominant Workflows For Librarians And Researchers, Aster Zhao

FORCE 2026

Systematic reviews are essential to evidence-based research but are often time-consuming and labor-intensive, for researchers to conduct, and for librarians to participate in, or teach. The rapid advances in Generative AI and AI-powered research tools, have created a growing interest in whether these technologies can assist—or even automate—parts of the systematic review process. However, questions remain about their effectiveness, reproducibility, and potential bias. This study explores the role of GenAI tools in the early stages of a systematic review: from literature discovery and screening, up to the identification of included studies.

We propose a comparative case study of one systematic …

Landscapes Of Exclusion: Mapping Racial Boundaries And Environmental Burdens, Monique A. Baxter Jun 2026

Landscapes Of Exclusion: Mapping Racial Boundaries And Environmental Burdens, Monique A. Baxter

2026 Symposium

Inspired by the author’s work with the mapping team for the Eastern Washington University Racial Covenants Project, this project uses additional GIS layers to reveal the enduring imprint of historic racial exclusion on today’s urban landscape. Spokane, Washington’s landscape, like many urban areas across the country, bears the imprint of racial exclusion through mechanisms such as restrictive covenants and redlining. This project examines how racial covenants and red lining layers relate to current brownfield and superfund sites to shape Spokane’s long-term environmental injustice. Using digitized property records, historic zoning maps, and GIS spatial analysis, this project demonstrates that historically red …

Political Power In The Digital Shadows: The Surveillance State And Far-Right Party Strength In Central And Eastern Europe, Abby K. Finley Jun 2026

Political Power In The Digital Shadows: The Surveillance State And Far-Right Party Strength In Central And Eastern Europe, Abby K. Finley

Political Science Honors Projects

The recent rise of far-right leaders, from Donald Trump challenging democratic institutions in the United States to Viktor Orbán's fifteen-year autocratic reign in Hungary, has led me to my main research question: Why are some far-right parties stronger than others? Conducting process tracing analysis of Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, and Czech far-right politics from 2005 to 2025, I argue that far-right parties are stronger when they utilize the surveillance state to limit democratic institutions and actors. My findings clarify how far-right parties use the surveillance state and other tactics to maintain power within their nation.

The $K$-Total Bondage Number Of A Graph, Jean-Pierre Appel, Gabrielle Fischberg, Kyle Kelley, Nathan B. Shank, Eliel Sosis Jun 2026

The $K$-Total Bondage Number Of A Graph, Jean-Pierre Appel, Gabrielle Fischberg, Kyle Kelley, Nathan B. Shank, Eliel Sosis

Theory & Applications of Graphs

Let \(G=(V,E)\) be a connected, finite undirected graph. A set \(S \subseteq V\) is said to be a total dominating set of \(G\) if every vertex in \(V\) is adjacent to some vertex in \(S\). The total domination number, \(\gamma_{t}(G)\), is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set in \(G\). We define the \(k\)-total bondage of $G$ to be the minimum number of edges to remove from \(G\) so that the resulting graph has a total domination number at least \(k\) more than \(\gamma_{t}(G)\). In this work we establish general properties of \(k\)-total bondage and find exact values for …

Hyper Face-Magic Graphs, Ross Belgram, Donald Mcginn Jun 2026

Hyper Face-Magic Graphs, Ross Belgram, Donald Mcginn

Theory & Applications of Graphs

For a planar graph G of order n, let F(G) be the set of all faces of G embedded into R 2 , including the exterior face. A bijective vertex labeling f : V (G) → {1, 2, ..., n} induces a face labeling f ∗ : F(G) → N defined by setting f ∗ (F) equal to the sum of all labels of the boundary vertices of F. The graph G is said to be hyper face-magic if there exists a vertex labeling whose induced face labeling is constant. In this paper, we state properties of hyper face-magic graphs …

Ethicalswarm: A Governance Framework For Ethically-Bound Multi-Agent Systems, Niels S. Goldstein Jun 2026

Ethicalswarm: A Governance Framework For Ethically-Bound Multi-Agent Systems, Niels S. Goldstein

Defensive Publications Series

EthicalSwarm is a governance framework for multi-agent AI systems that makes ethical conduct a propagating, inheritable property of the system rather than a discardable policy. The framework declares a set of machine-readable ethical invariants (truthfulness, transparency of action, audit preservation, human sovereignty, schema-bound behavior, non-degradation of autonomy); binds them to a swarm through an ethical capsule; and requires, as a condition of legitimacy, that every fork, clone, or operational derivative carry the capsule forward or explicitly supersede it with a documented, equivalent-or-stronger successor. This recursive accountability mechanism is analogous to copyleft: just as copyleft makes software freedom survive redistribution, ethical …

Cogstack: Persistent Ai Cognition And Multi-Vendor Cognitive Stacking, Niels S. Goldstein Jun 2026

Cogstack: Persistent Ai Cognition And Multi-Vendor Cognitive Stacking, Niels S. Goldstein

Defensive Publications Series

CogStack is a two-layer architecture for autonomous AI agent systems. The first layer, the persistent cognition substrate, externalizes the context produced by interactive AI sessions, compresses it into a durable memory store, and rehydrates it into subsequent stateless API calls, enabling agents to reason continuously across sessions and execution environments. The second layer, multi-vendor cognitive stacking, orchestrates agents drawn from different model providers and families so the composite system exhibits emergent properties that no single constituent produces alone — specifically, decorrelated diversity in which each agent's failure modes do not coincide with the others'. CogStack is designed as the orchestration …
