Lucy Barnes replied to the topic How to use the Open Access Books Network in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 4 years, 5 months agoHi all,
Just a quick note to flag that we’ve switched off the Events calendar function on the site. People weren’t engaging with it, so instead of spending time updating it we’ll be focused on coordinating talks and workshops, fostering discussion, and making more people aware of this network. Anyone interested in a calendar of OA events might…[Read more]

Pablo Markin started the topic OERs, Benefits and Perceptions in the discussion
Open Access Books Network via email on Humanities Commons 4 years, 5 months agoDear All,
In her recent post, Mirela Roncevic discusses Open Educational Resources (OERs), the complexities these entail, the benefits of OERs for faculty and students, such as the removal of cost-barriers to course development and enrolment, and the roles that libraries can play with regard to OER publishing, discoverability and awareness:…[Read more]

Robert Desmond replied to the topic Metadata: Searchability during a Name Change in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years, 5 months agoThe presence of the <AlternativeName> block within <Contributor> blocks in ONIX 3 and the use of ORCIDs or ISNIs are meant to deal with the situation, but the question exists of whether they are used/accepted by the database you’re using or the vendors you’re sending to. It may be that you can’t do AlternativeName, but you can have their old name…[Read more]

Katie Sweeney Parmiter started the topic Metadata: Searchability during a Name Change in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years, 5 months agoHi All,
Apologies for the cross-post.
We have an author who has been ordained a deacon in the Coptic Church. With that comes a name change. We’ll update our records to reflect the new name consistently, but the author is concerned that people who search for the book under his old name will not find it. Ideally, he would like the book to come u…[Read more]

Krista Coulson replied to the topic Chapter abstracts in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years, 5 months agoHi Jana, I can confirm that Chicago does store several chapter metadata fields in Firebrand’s Title Management system. We store: chapter title, chapter abstract, chapter keywords, and chapter DOI. We set them up as Comments under Elements. While it is not human review/quick-scan-friendly since only one field displays at a time, it does allow us to…[Read more]

Pablo Markin started the topic Creative Commons, copyright in the discussion
Open Access Books Network via email on Humanities Commons 4 years, 5 months agoDear All,
Creative Commons licensing, on which Open Access largely relies, can be complex to handle in the context of private-public partnerships or publisher-side commercial reuse alongside author-side copyright retention. Likewise, as intellectual property rights are governed by geography-bound copyright legislation, their harmonization is…[Read more]

Ostap Kushnir deposited Meandering in Transition in the group
Anthropology on Humanities Commons 4 years, 5 months agoThe chapter opens the “Meandering in Transition” collection. It presents contributors and outlines reasons why some of the Central and Eastern European states accomplished a decisive break with the Communist past and became members of European and transatlantic structures, while some opted for pseudo-transition and fostered hybrid political…[Read more]

Jana Faust replied to the topic Chapter abstracts in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years, 5 months agoThanks, @robby!
At one point when I was sending chapter abstracts to MUSE they asked if I’d like to work with them on including abstracts in our ONIX in a way that they could ingest. We weren’t ready so I turned them down. Then this past July they told me that they “do not store or display chapter abstracts.”

Robert Desmond replied to the topic Chapter abstracts in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years, 5 months agoBiblioVault’s ONIX 3 output can send chapter data (including abstracts and keywords if stored), but currently only Project MUSE and DeGruyter are getting them. (I don’t think MUSE has indicated to us that they’re ignoring the data. It would be odd, since they helped us debug the output.) Since we are an “aggregator” of the metadata, we collect the…[Read more]

Jana Faust started the topic Chapter abstracts in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years, 6 months agoHi metadata/ONIX people! I have some questions about chapter abstracts. We have been collecting them for a while and I had been sending them manually to Project MUSE. However, MUSE now tells me that they don’t use them.
Do you send out chapter abstracts? If you do, where do you send them? Do you send them out in ONIX? Firebrand’s TM doesn’t have…[Read more]

Lucy Barnes replied to the topic OA and translations in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 4 years, 6 months agoHi Philippa, I’d be happy to discuss this — at OBP we have been approached by people interested in translating our OA books and I could talk through how we deal with this. Essentially, if the book is licensed CC BY then anyone can produce a translation as long as appropriate attribution is given, although it would also be best practice to say…[Read more]

Darshi Arachige deposited Do the estimated admixture times confirm the proposed Holocene Gene flow from India to Australia? in the group
Anthropology on Humanities Commons 4 years, 6 months agoThis paper argues that the current estimates for the time of influx of Indian genes into
some sections of the Australian Aboriginal population during the Holocene bear large
uncertainties which make elimination of the probability of a more recent gene flow less
likely. It also highlights that indications for the plausibility of a later gene…[Read more] -

Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 4 years, 6 months agoHi John,
I’ve had a read through and think it is a really thoughtful and well-balanced vision and policy considering some of the current challenges and opportunities for opening up books. I’m not too familiar with similar visions and policies, some of the fully OA publishers do have a clear vision statement and the University of Michigan Press…[Read more]
