Efforts to open and share research outcomes (publications, data, etc.) by public funds have been performed. And efforts to spread knowledge more easily and quickly have been also promoted. However, in Korea, we do not manage the research outcomes as core assets that can be produced and reused by public funds. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of overseas studies in terms of deposition,...
The re-use of text-particularly misuse, or plagiarism-is a contentious issue. Technological approaches to identifying student plagiarism are now widespread, but academic publications do not typically come under such scrutiny. It is common knowledge that plagiarism occurs, but we do not know how frequently or extensively, nor where in a document it is likely to be found. This paper offers the first...
Open access scientific journals allow scientific information to be published on the Web. Open access is immediate access, without registration, subscription or payment requirements to online digital material free of most of the restrictions imposed by traditional copyright. When talking about open access, it is often indicated that it is "barrier-free" access. However, the access barriers...
The UK research sector utilises a highly varied infrastructure of research information management platforms. To reduce the administrative burden of managing, reporting and evaluating research, it has become crucial to enable system-to-system communication. Jisc is the UK's not-for-profit organisation supporting digital services and solutions in the UK research sector. Here, we describe the role Jisc...
Academic publishers claim that they add value to scholarly communications by coordinating reviews and contributing and enhancing text during publication. These contributions come at a considerable cost: U.S. academic libraries paid $1.7 billion for serial subscriptions in 2008 alone. Library budgets, in contrast, are flat and not able to keep pace with serial price inflation. We have investigated...
The execution of data-based applications on distributed environments is prone to different failures in the different steps of the process. These steps range from the search on available references and data to the adaptation of the applications of interest to the different platforms where they are going to be efficiently run, which requires a deep understanding of their specific characteristics. In...
The EMODnet — Physics is a Marine Observation and Data Information System that provides a single point of access to near real time and historical achieved data. It is includes systems for physical data from the whole Europe (wave height and period, temperature of the water column, wind speed and direction, salinity of the water column, horizontal velocity of the water column, light attenuation, and...
It's common practice for patients to make an appointment in advance before seeing the doctor. This paper compares two alternative policies to reduce no-show for single server appointment system with exponentially distributed service time, the overbooking policy and open access policy. A specified number of patients call for an appointment before the scheduled day, but may cancel the booking or don't...
Within the context of the emerging Open Academic Courses Initiatives, the issue of explicitly describing an academic course is raised. Nevertheless, existing Initiatives do not share a common conceptual model for describing their academic courses. The main drawback of this approach is that these descriptions impede inter initiative comparison and exploitation of academic courses by students and course...
Over the past years a large amount of digital science education resources became available for open access through web-based repositories. These resources have the potential to support technology-enhanced science education by enabling science teachers to improve their day-to-day science teaching. Nevertheless, it has been identified that science teachers could benefit from their participation in communities...
Over the past years, a wide range of Technology-enhanced Learning (TeL) systems have been developed, which have significantly influenced the field of foreign languages teaching and learning. This is widely known as Technology-enhanced Language Learning (TELL). On the other hand, the widespread ownership of mobile devices and the potential benefits that they can provide to the learning process has...
Policies supporting the rapid and open sharing of proteomic data are being implemented by the leading journals in the field. The proteomics community is taking steps to ensure that data are made publicly accessible and are of high quality, a challenging task that requires the development and deployment of methods for measuring and documenting data quality metrics. On September 18, 2010, the U.S. National...
With a desire to reform the power sector, the Government of India, vide the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act 1998 and the Electricity Act 2003, have provided for the establishment of regulatory commissions at the Central and State level. At the Central level, regulations relating to Open Access, Availability Based Tariff and Power Trading have been implemented. The State Electricity Regulatory...
