The Open Scholarship Initiative is a multi-year effort to engage all of the stakeholders involved in scholarly communication activities. This presentation will briefly review the goals, progress and future plans of OSI.

Sharing data is now encouraged by major funding agencies, and many journals require it as a prerequisite for publication. While many of the hard science journals have implemented ‘Data Deposit Requirements’ and ‘Policies’, in the Library Science literature, publishers are beginning to move titles into open access journals, but data deposit requirements are just beginning to be addressed. Librarian authors will increasingly find themselves having to comply with data sharing policies. In this webinar, we look at examples from the Journal of the Medical Library Association and the Journal of eScience Librarianship and discuss best practices in data deposit.

Uses Susan Orlean's The Library Book as a starting point to argue that librarianship has always had innovative and creative leadership.

“Open scholarship” is a loose umbrella term for the broad and growing interest in providing more openness and transparency to the research process and its outputs. While discussions of open in the early years of the century focused almost exclusively on peer reviewed journal literature, primarily in the sciences, there is now considerable interest in developing more openness across the entire life cycle of scholarship., Open Scholarship Initiative Proceedings, 2018

The initial program for OSI2017 included time on Wednesday for each stakeholder group to elect or appoint representatives to an OSI summit group. The group would be empowered “to revise (as needed) the proposals developed by workgroups, and to prepare agreements and action plans built on these proposals after first consulting with relevant workgroups, delegate groups, and the full OSI group.”, Open Scholarship Initiative Proceedings, 2017

The At-Large group was the largest and most diverse in terms of stakeholder representation. At-large delegates observed workgroup conversations during the meeting and contributed to these conversations while letting the workgroup teams answer their questions. At-large delegates met during the conference and convened online both before and after the conference in order to develop some high level takeaways based on what they observed. While workgroups focused on answering a particular big question confronting scholarly publishing, at-large delegates had a wide-angle lens on the evolution of these questions and proceedings., Open Scholarship Initiative Proceedings, 2016
