We\u2019ve set up ContentMine \u2013 a non-profit supporting machine reading and analysis of scholarship. There are 10-20,000 journal articles a day \u2013 and several hundred theses &#8211; so machines are essential. Today we\u2019re announcing 6 ContentMine fellows \u2013 all of whom have exciting projects to create new bioscience from the scholarly literature.<br>But this brave new world is often opposed by the Publisher-Academic complex. Academia feeds knowledge and public money into companies who in return define the scholarly infrastructure and the rules by which Academia has to play.<br>The key issue is who controls scholarship? Universities? Students? Researchers? Or corporations only answerable to their shareholders? How many universities have been arbitrarily cut off by publishers with the accusation that \u201ctheir\u201d content is being stolen? Knowledge that should be available to the whole world is being controlled and monitored. Increasingly, universities are acquiescent and even required by publishers to police \u201ccompliance\u201d.<br>Last month one of our fellowship &#8211; a graduate student colleague in the Netherlands &#8211; was legally mining the literature to detect malpractice \u2013 such as unjustifiable statistical procedures. After 30,000 downloads a publisher cut off the University and \u2013 without discussion &#8211; wrote denouncing him for \u201cstealing\u201d content. They required his research be stopped. The University complied. Then another publisher. And a third. Last month Cambridge was cut off for 3 weeks by one publisher. No explanation. No dialogue.<br>Europe is trying to reform copyright to support research. I am working with them, but there\u2019s massive lobbying by publishers. They want to control and monitor everything. Textual content, repositories for data, metadata, metrics for academic glory.<br>Machine-understandable e-theses represent one of the remaining areas not controlled by publishers. They are a new opportunity for universities and a knowledge resource for everyone \u2013 citizens as well as academics. They report billions of dollars of research, and are often the only place where it\u2019s published. To maximize the spread of knowledge \u2013 which young people are passionate about \u2013 some suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be proud of theses.<\/li><li>Think of \u201cuse\u201d rather than \u201cdeposit\u201d<\/li><li>Make theses globally discoverable.<\/li><li>Involve citizens everywhere. Think of the Global South.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t repeat the mistakes of the \u201cWest\u201d. Do it differently.<\/li><li>Release immediately.<\/li><li>Use DOCX, Tex, CSV, SVG, XHTML, besides PDF.<\/li><li>Use versioned text and data GIT, DAT \u2026<\/li><li>Use openly controlled international repositories.<\/li><li>Use permissive licences allowing mining and re-use.<\/li><li>Do not hand over rights for content, discovery or access.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t buy systems &#8211; Encourage young people to build them.<\/li><li>Experiment with Open Notebook Science.<\/li><li>Encourage and use e-theses as a primary tool for research.<\/li><li>Use Wikipedia \/ Wikidata as the default metadata for scholarship.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And a warning: Unless libraries take this type of opportunity now they will be increasingly replaced by commercial services and disappear. E-theses and young people are your chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monique Joly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Monique Joly is head of the library of INSA Lyon, one of the top ranking engineering schools in Europe. From 1999 on, she initiated the first ETD repository in France,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/theses.insa-lyon.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CITHER<\/a>, and contributed to the standardization of ETD metadata (format TEF) and the development of the national ETD infrastructure STAR. She has always been committed to open access ETDs, open science and is today one of the opinion leaders for the application of TDM to research publications.<br>Monique&#8217;s acceptance statement follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First: I was interested by digital innovations in the late 1980s and\u00a0with through the involvement of many librarians around me. So I&#8217;m not truly\u00a0\u00abspecial\u00bb: the circumstances made things happen, and we started digital\u00a0diffusion of thesis at this time.<\/li><li>Second: We learned a lot with NDLTD network and we have been inspired by\u00a0many Virginia Tech guides and by the ETD metadata scheme.<\/li><li>Third: After that, we discovered the power of search engines and the\u00a0tremendous developement of notoriety for our institution, for researchers\u00a0and for their research works.<\/li><li>Fourth: Very quickly, we worked in a french network for adapting to the\u00a0french situation the ETD metadata scheme; now, this metadata scheme is\u00a0known as TEF (Th\u00e8ses \u00e9lectroniques fran\u00e7aises) and digital legal deposit is\u00a0generalized with the efforts of the French Research ministry, ABES (as said\u00a0in their NDLTD conference) and with all research french institutions.<\/li><li>Fifth: By now, we have just partially opened the treasure box : all the\u00a0new digital services are in front of us, with different possibilities\u00a0offered such as the identifier of author, DOI identifier, preservation and\u00a0sharing of research data.\u00a0All of these services could be for the best or the worst.\u00a0The worst, really if they are invested of goals like tracking personal data\u00a0or the privatization of scientific knowledge and the best if it is for\u00a0scientific exchange.<\/li><li>Sixth: My hope would be now to get an open social network, with\u00a0guarantee of sharing, opening, and preservation and with private spaces\u00a0really controlled by users.<\/li><li>Seventh: A dreaming world, of course, but I am sure that our objective\u00a0is to dream; all of actions like training, sharing good ideas and research\u00a0results, and so on, are solid foundation for future.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you have nice NLTD conferences. Long life to NDLTD network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Shu-Hsien Tseng Dr. Tseng assumed the General Director of National Central Library (NCL) of Taiwan in 2010, and ever since then she has been dedicated to promoting the concept of open access to electronic theses and dissertations.
