Implementing A Registry Federation For Materials Science Data Discovery, Raymond L. Plante, Chandler A. Becker, Andrea Medina-Smith, Kevin Brady, Alden Dima, Benjamin Long, Laura M. Bartolo, James A. Warren, Robert J. Hanisch

Copyright, Fair Use, Scholarly Communication, etc.

As a result of a number of national initiatives, we are seeing rapid growth in the data important to materials science that are available over the web. Consequently, it is becoming increasingly difficult for researchers to learn what data are available and how to access them. To address this problem, the Research Data Alliance (RDA) Working Group for International Materials Science Registries (IMRR) was established to bring together materials science and information technology experts to develop an international federation of registries that can be used for global discovery of data resources for materials science. A resource registry collects high-level metadata …

A Practical Guide To Working With Copyrighted And Open Access Resources In Scholarship, Liz Thompson, Howard Carrier

Libraries

Powerpoints and conference presentations are often complemented by use of images or other media, and the academic content of a paper may draw from existing scholarly sources. In the traditional, in-person conference meeting room, the use of other rightsholders’ content is relatively risk-free but things change when academic conferences move online, as is increasingly the case today in the lamentable age of COVID-19. In this webinar, two librarians from JMU Libraries’ Scholarly Communication Unit share thoughts, ideas, and tips about staying on the right side of copyright law when presenting and disseminating scholarship.

Inequitable Impacts Of Textbook Costs At A Small, Private College: Results From A Textbook Survey At Gettysburg College, Sarah Appedu, Mary Elmquist, Janelle Wertzberger, Sharon K. Birch

All Musselman Library Staff Works

Recognizing that higher education settings vary considerably, librarians at Gettysburg College sought to better understand textbook spending behaviors and the effects of costs on our students. We adapted the Florida Virtual Campus 2016 Student Textbook and Course Materials Survey to suit the context of our small, private, liberal arts college. Most students spent $300 in Fall 2019. Financial aid awards did not cover the cost of required books and course materials for most students receiving aid. Negative effects were more pronounced for first-generation students and Pell Grant recipients, who were more likely to not purchase required books, to not register …

Otrouha: A Corpus Of Arabic Etds And A Framework For Automatic Subject Classification, Eman Abdelrahman, Fatimah Alotaibi, Edward A. Fox, Osman Balci

The Journal of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although the Arabic language is spoken by more than 300 million people and is one of the six official languages of the United Nations (UN), there has been less research done on Arabic text data (compared to English) in the realm of machine learning, especially in text classification. In the past decade, Arabic data such as news, tweets, etc. have begun to receive some attention. Although automatic text classification plays an important role in improving the browsability and accessibility of data, Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) have not received their fair share of attention, in spite of the huge number …

Bibliometric Analysis Of Researchers’ Competencies Through Web Of Science, Muhammad Abbas Ganaee, Shamshad Ahmed, Muhammad Ajmal Khan, Ayesha Gulzar

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Universities and institutes of higher education produce researchers and scholars who can find the solutions to the problems in their fields of studies. Researchers belonging to any academic discipline should have certain competencies and skills to conduct a valuable research. This study uses the Bibliometric method to investigate the literature published on researchers’ competencies, not limited to any specific subject. The query to search literature on research competencies was run on Web of Science and 5,716 results were analyzed. A comparison of pattern of publications and citations year wise was presented from 1905 to 2020. The study reveals that most …

Affiliation Information In Datacite Dataset Metadata: A Flemish Case Study, Niek Van Wettere

Copyright, Fair Use, Scholarly Communication, etc.

This article aims to evaluate how and to what extent metadata of datasets indexed in DataCite offer clear human- or machine-readable information that enables the research data to be linked to a particular research institution. Two main pathways are explored. First, researchers can encode their affiliation information at the moment of data submission. This can be done by means of free-text metadata fields or via the inclusion of identifiers such as GRID/ROR and ORCID. Second, affiliation information can be traced indirectly through linking between a dataset and associated publications, given that the metadata of publications is often more explicit about …
