Open Access Journals Outside High Income Economies
by O'Donnell, Dan 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi all, I'm on the executive committee at force11.org, a Community of Practice focussed on the future of Research Communication and e-Scholarship. It is an interesting group because of the range of domains and sectors it involves: Science and humanities, Commercial and Open access, and so on. We're in the early planning stages of a series of workshops on "the Commons and the Silo", in which we want to look specifically at what is common and what is unique across the entire domain of scholarly and Scientific dissemination. I have two questions that this group is probably the best place to ask. The first is whether anybody knows of similar groups focussed specifically on the issues of Research Communication and dissemination outside the High Income World or of initiatives we really should know about about scholarly communication in a global context (I should stress, BTW, that this ignorance is a reflection on me not Force11). The second is whether anybody on this list is working on anything similar and/ or would be interested in being kept in the loop on our progress. Thanks in advance as always to this super helpful group! P.S. If you are interested in these things, please feel free to say here. But also consider joining force11. It really is an interesting group!

REMINDER: "What is Support?" Nov. 28 (THIS THURSDAY) - 1st session of SEMINAR «Digital Writing and Editorialisation»
by Fabrice Marcoux 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

The opening session of the seminar "Digital Writing and Editorialisation" will take place on *Thursday, Nov. 28 at* *11:30 AM Eastern time at University of Montreal *(in room P217 of Roger-Gaudry Building) [videoconference link-up with "salle Triangle" of Pompidou Center in Paris, 5:30 PM France time] *More information*: *http://seminaire.sens-public.org/spip.php?article29 <http://seminaire.sens-public.org/spip.php?article29>* The session will be retransmitted live on *http://www.polemictweet.com/ <http://www.polemictweet.com/>* Topic of the session: *What is Support?* The concept of support in the digital age can hardly be reduced–like the printed object–to a simple interface for writing and reading (inscription and the interpretation of inscription). Of all the objects connected to the act of reading, the omnipresent screen is now considered more important than the medium of paper in terms of knowledge transfer. Yet, with regards to networks and services which connect interface users, we know that the digital medium presently invests (or rather is invested) in all aspects of technical organology, and underlying this is the fact that we are called to observe and act both through and beyond the screen. We should thus question how well the technical features of these new support systems help improve editorial devices, and how new properties of digital support help shape our practices of reading and writing and even the very foundations of our knowledge. *Qu’est-ce qu’un support ?* *La notion de support à l’époque du numérique ne se résume plus, comme pour l’objet imprimé, à la simple interface d’écriture et de lecture (l’inscription et l’interprétation de l’inscription). A travers tous les objets connectés de lecture, l’omniprésence de l’écran s’est imposée en sus du support papier. Or, jusqu’aux réseaux et aux services auxquels l’interface relie les utilisateurs, on sait que le support numérique investit, ou est investi par l’ensemble de l’organologie technique sous-jacente à ce qui nous est donné à voir et à agir à travers et au-delà du simple écran. Nous nous demanderons ainsi comment les dispositifs techniques de ces nouveaux supports relèvent déjà de dispositifs éditoriaux, et comment les nouvelles propriétés du support numérique façonnent nos usages de lecture et d’écriture, et plus profondément notre connaissance.* *Guest presentators are* : - *Fabien Gandon*, Senior Researcher at Inria, he worked for a while at Carnegie-Mellon University. He is a member of several W3C working groups about the Semantic Web. He is co-author of *Le Web sémantique, Comment relier les données et les schémas sur le web ?* (Dunod, 2012). - *Jean-Marc Larrue*, *professeur adjoint au département des Littératures de langue française de l’Université de Montréal. Il a été directeur adjoint du Centre de recherche sur l’intermédialité (CRI) de 2005 à 2011. Il co-dirige avec Marie-Madeleine Mervant-Roux (CNRS-ARIAS) une équipe internationale de recherche sur le son au théâtre. Il a publié plusieurs ouvrages portant sur l’histoire du théâtre au Québec et prépare un ouvrage sur le théâtre et l’intermédialité.* - *Matteo Treleani**,* researcher at *Institut national de l'audiovisuel*(Ina) (Research and Experimentation department), he is a temporary assistant professor in film studies at Paris Est Marne la Vallée University and teached Digital Media Studies at Sciences Po Paris. The seminar is realised in collaboration by *La revue Sens Public*, the *Iri*, Université de Montréal and McGill University, supported by MSH Paris-Nord.

----- Original Message ----- From: Revista Temas To: LISTA INTERNACIONAL Sent: Friday, November 15, 2013 2:44 PM Subject: [revistatemas] CONVOCATORIA / CALL FOR PAPERS => EUROPA HOY Revista Temas - La Habana - www.temas.cult.cu CONVOCATORIA DE ARTÍCULOS: "Europa hoy" Europa vive un proceso crítico. Este parece rebasar una coyuntura financiera o una caída en los indicadores económicos, e involucrar el funcionamiento del orden institucional establecido, incluido un esquema de integración regional que se ha presentado como paradigma. El número se propone abordar asuntos como los siguientes: a.. ¿Cuál es la naturaleza de la actual crisis europea? ¿Qué está pasando con el modelo (o los modelos) europeos de desarrollo capitalista? ¿Cuáles son los principales problemas sociales y políticos, que caracterizan la situación actual? b.. ¿Qué factores estructurales influyen en la prolongación de la crisis desde 2008? ¿En qué medida han tenido efecto las medidas implementadas para superarla o paliarla? ¿Cuál ha sido su impacto sobre algunos problemas sociales graves, como la extensión del desempleo? ¿Cómo ha afectado el funcionamiento del Estado de derecho? ¿El papel de la Ley? c.. ¿En qué medida se ha reactivado o subsisten conflictos asociados a la desigualdad y a las diferencias étnico-nacionales? ¿Qué significado tiene el tema migratorio y cómo impacta en la situación (social, política, económica) regional? d.. ¿Qué pasa con la democracia en Europa? ¿Cómo están funcionando los sistemas políticos en los diversos países y a nivel de la Unión? ¿Hasta qué punto ha estado amenazada la estabilidad política y social? ¿Qué implicaciones ha tenido este proceso para la seguridad regional? e.. ¿A qué desafíos se enfrenta Europa en sus relaciones con los Estados Unidos y las regiones del Tercer mundo? ¿Con los BRICS? f.. ¿Qué salidas son previsibles para este proceso? El número 79 de la revista Temas, correspondiente al tercer trimestre de 2014, pretende acercarse a estos problemas desde enfoques que puedan caracterizar esta vasta problemática y aportar reflexiones sobre sus implicaciones para el futuro europeo, así como lecciones para otras regiones. Se aceptarán propuestas que versen sobre los temas apuntados arriba, u otros referidos a dimensiones centrales de la dinámica actual, incluso aspectos menos conocidos o tratados, sobre un país o conjunto de países, siempre que se consideren cuestiones de fondo, no limitadas a la contingencia o el corto plazo. Los trabajos deberán ser inéditos en español, no podrán exceder los 40 000 caracteres con espacios (incluyendo notas y referencias bibliográficas) y se enviarán a la dirección electrónica temas(a)icaic.cu. El plazo de admisión vence el 15 de abril de 2014.

CFP: HASTAC 2014 in Lima, Peru: Hemispheric Pathways: Critical Makers in International Networks
by Hilary Culbertson 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Please share the following CFP with your networks. Apologies for cross postings. The CFP is available in English, Español, Français and Português at http://hastac2014.org/call-for-proposals/. Call for Papers: HASTAC 2014 Hemispheric Pathways: Critical Makers in International Networks April 24-27, 2014 Ministerio de Cultura, Lima, Peru Submissions Deadline: November 30, 2013 hastac2014.org<http://hastac2014.org/> The challenges facing the Western hemisphere are multidimensional and complex. Urban agglomeration, economic development, ecological crisis, military conflict, digital privacy, impediments to advanced learning, negotiations of multiple cultural and historical perspectives - these are problems with scientific and human factors that must be considered together. HASTAC 2014 challenges participants to consider the interplay of science, technology, the social sciences, the humanities, and the arts in the context of addressing the urgent contingencies facing the evolving hemisphere. Themes addressed by the conference include: * humanities research and hemispheric grand challenges * indigenous culture and technology * technology and education: open learning, peer learning, and issues of access, equity for primary and/or higher education * technology and interhemispheric communication of knowledge and publishing * heritage, patrimony, memory and the digital * new publics, movements going global and communities of the future * technology and social identity and roles: gender, race, and other identities * digital animation and other visualization media arts and sciences * games and gaming, including for learning * community development including the importance of art and culture districts * mobile technologies and everyday life * improvisation, tinkering, hacking * HASTAC 2014 will be composed of keynote addresses, paper presentations (variations detailed below), hackathons, workshops, birds of a feather meet ups, as well as performances and tech demos. We will accept proposals for participant presentations in the following categories: 5-8 minute lightning talks; 15-20 minute talks; curated panels (lightning talks, longer talks, curated conversation); project demos; digital and/or print posters; creative performances; hackathons; birds of a feather sessions; post conference workshops (April 28th). Submission portal will be open soon, with support for proposals written in Spanish and English. We are now accepting proposals for participant presentations in the following categories: 5-8 Minute Lightning Talks We seek focused, inspiring talks that can serve as both provocation and an introduction to your work in progress or your wider interests. We require: 1. complete contact information including valid phone, e-mail, and institutional affiliation, if any; 2. brief (200-250 word) bio; 3. a half-page abstract of the work you would like to present that must discuss its relationship to the conference themes; 4. any technical requirements or other support that may be required for your presentation. 15-20 Minute Talks We also seek more traditional papers that really require more time to develop a sustained argument than a lightning talk would allow. Please let us know in your submission if you would allow us to simultaneously consider your presentation submission for a lightning talk instead of a full talk. We require: 1. complete contact information including valid phone, e-mail, and institutional affiliation, if any; 2. brief (200-250 word) bio; 3. a one-page abstract of the work you would like to present that must discuss its relationship to the conference themes; 4. any technical requirements or other support that may be required for your presentation. Curated Panels If you would like to curate a panel of 3-5 lightning talks, a traditional panel of 3 papers or a structured conversation among key thinkers, we require: 1. complete contact information including valid phone, e-mail, and institutional affiliation, if any, for all participants; 2. brief (200-250 word) bio for all participants; 3. a one-page abstract of the panel's theme that must discuss its relationship to the larger conference themes, clearly identifying how each panelist will contribute; 4. identification of the panel/group organizer who will be required to facilitate the panel/group involvement; 5. any technical requirements or other support that may be required for the presentation. Project Demos Designed to showcase well-developed digital projects or tools. Demos will be grouped in a single room and will, ideally, remain up for an entire conference day. You will have a dedicated 2 hour slot to engage with conference participants without competing with other events. You will have wireless access and a table. While we endeavor to provide projectors or other equipment for participants who make a request at the time of submission, presenters will be responsible for bringing all required technology with them. We require: 1. complete contact information including valid phone, e-mail, and institutional affiliation, if any; 2. brief (200-250 word) bio; 3. a half-page abstract of the work you would like to present and a link to a project url with images or video documentation; 4. any technical requirements or other support (including any space requirements beyond a table) that may be required for the presentation. Please indicate any equipment that is absolutely required and that you cannot bring with you. In the event that we cannot guarantee access to the equipment, we regret that we may not be able to accept your demo. Digital and/or Print Posters Print posters (4 x 3 feet) and electronic posters (to be projected) are solicited for emerging projects, ideas, and scholars. In presenting your research with a poster, you should aim to use the poster as a means for generating active discussion of your research. Limit the text to about one-fourth of the poster space, and use visuals (graphs, photographs, schematics, maps, etc.) to tell your story. Required: 1. complete contact information including valid phone, e-mail, and institutional affiliation; 2. brief (200-250 word) bio; 3. a half-page abstract of your work that must discuss its relationship to the conference themes; 4. statement clearly identifying whether your poster will be hard-copy or digitally projected; 5. a digital draft of your poster. Creative Performances We are soliciting creative interventions too - e-lit readings, ARGs and mobile cinema, talks that cross boundaries between the academic and the poetic, tech wearables, etc. We see these as being integrated into conference sessions (i.e. if you have a five-minute piece, we might schedule it as a lighting talk), as potentially being part of scheduled evening entertainment (a 30-minute interactive dance performance or e-poetry reading), or as taking place outside of/alongside scheduled time (ie a mobile game that conference participants can download). 1. complete contact information including valid phone, e-mail, and institutional affiliation, if any; 2. brief (200-250 word) bio; 3. a one-page abstract of the work you would like to present that clearly identifies the genre you are working in and how, ideally, you would like it to be scheduled during the conference (including time and space requirements). Your abstract must discuss its relationship to the conference theme; 4. any technical requirements or other support (including any space requirements). Please indicate any equipment that is absolutely required and that you cannot bring with you. In the event that we cannot guarantee access to the equipment, we regret that may not be able to accept your creative submission. Maker Space We are soliciting proposals for individuals or groups to create an informal maker space, where conference participants can share, exchange, and experiment with new online tools, personal fabrication technologies, open source electronics such as Arduino, and other creative and learning devices and gadgets. Other Sessions Birds of a Feather Sessions will be conversations among experts and those interested in similar topics or technologies. Sessions will aim to assemble teams and plans for multi-institutional collaborations that will extend well beyond the duration of the conference. Proposals should indicate topics, technologies, and possible outcomes. Post-conference Hackathons will be sessions led by developers that will aim to stitch the varying expertise of participants into a day-long work session to develop a resource such as a website, database, application, or interactive visualization. All are welcome to participate. Full-day time slots only. Post-conference Workshops to take place April 28. Full-day or half-day workshops will be considered. If you have new tools, new approaches or seek a new community of collaborators we can provide an opportunity for you to offer full and half workshops. For consideration we require: 1. complete contact information including valid phone, e-mail, and institutional affiliation, if any; 2. brief (200-250 word) bio; 3. a one- or two-page abstract of the workshop that clearly describes the goals of the workshop, its relationship to the conference theme; its target audience (and any specialized background required for participation) and whether the proposal is for a full day or half-day workshop; 4. a brief explanation of the space and technical resources required to run the workshop. All proposals will be reviewed, but we regret that we cannot provide reviewer feedback. We welcome applications from scholars at all stages of their careers from all disciplines and fields, from private sector companies and public sector organizations, from artists and public intellectuals, and from networks and individuals.
