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!

Hi Dan,
The Knowledge Brokers' Forum is definitely interested in this; some recent posts have been on open access and altmetrics.

It's also a very welcoming online community.

Hi all,
I'd like to return to something I asked back in September.
We are refining a proposal for a series of workshops on scholarly communication, a part of which will involve comparison of practices in the High Income Economies vs. other regions.
What we'd like to do for this stage in the process is research some potential speakers/participants and locations for a workshop dedicated to this comparative issue in particular.
I'd very much appreciate any suggestions you might have for names, institutions, or other forms of organisation that might be useful contacts for discussions of scholarly and scientific communication in regions other than Canada/U.S., Australia/NZ, and Western Europe.
Thanks very much!

Hi Dan,
could you please specify whether the workshops are envisioned to take place in regions other than Canada/U.S., Australia/NZ, and Western Europe?
1 / many rich countries maintain government funded research institutes in such regions (see the American Research Institutes in Middle Eastern Countries) 2 / grant giving foundations from rich countries maintain institutional base camps in such regions (see Fulbright) 3 / US universities have been going global for about the last decade with satellite institutions in the Middle East and Asia (e.g., NYU, Columbia) 4 / annual or biannual meetings of professional organizations with an international membership (e.g., Middle East Studies Association of North America) 5 / institutions of higher education with English as one of their working languages in those regions

Hi Dagmar,
At least one would be outside Canada/U.S. and Western Europe. My guess is a likely rotation would be:
* U.S.A, * Europe outside of U.K., * somewhere other than Western Europe and the Anglophone world.
I.e. Given the membership of Force11, the funding situation, and the like, I'd expect one to be in the U.S., another to be in a non-English context in Europe, and a third to be somewhere outside of the High Income economies.
This is a very good point about the extensions.
