Sophistical Refutations

The publication of the critical edition of this anonymous commentary on Aristotle’s Sophistical Refutations is something to be celebrated for numerous reasons. Needless to say, it is of great value for scholars interested in the reception of this particular item of the corpus Aristotelicum, especially since the editor is responsible for much of our current knowledge within the field.

Instrumental Role

Momentum is building in the transition to open access for monographs, with a number of funders developing policies and mandates in recent years. The article argues that while libraries play an instrumental role in driving a transition to open science within their institutions this is not reflected in libraries’ approaches to collection development, which are still predicated on purchased content. Libraries are keen to demonstrate that their purchased content is relevant to users, often promoting ‘expensive’ purchased collections over open content. Rather than relegating open to a less-visible second place, the article calls for libraries to acquire and promote open content alongside, and where appropriate with higher priority, than paid-for content. In order to facilitate a transition to open access for monographs, cultural change and leadership is required within libraries to reimagine themselves around open content as the norm, with policies, practices and structures that communicate, enable and promote this shift. The article calls for a collaborative international approach.

The digital transformation has initiated a paradigm shift in research and scholarly communication practices towards a more open scholarly culture. Although this transformation is slowly happening in the Digital Humanities field, open is not yet default. The article introduces the OpenMethods metablog, a community platform that highlights open research methods, tools, and practices within the context of the Digital Humanities by republishing open access content around methods and tools in various formats and languages. It also describes the platform’s technical infrastructure based on its requirements and main functionalities, and especially the collaborative content sourcing and editorial workflows. The article concludes with a discussion of the potentials of the OpenMethods metablog to overcome barriers towards open practices by focusing on inclusive, community sourced information based around opening up research processes and the challenges that need to be overcome to achieve its goals.

Adapted and expanded from Moureau’s doctoral thesis defended in 2010 at the Université Catholique de Louvain, this monograph extends over two substantial volumes for a total of more than 1,400 pages thoroughly annotated in more than 3,500 footnotes. Numbers apart, Moureau’s praiseworthy effort aims to contribute to the study of the alchemical works of pseudoAvicenna by presenting the first critical edition of an extensive, very complex, and deeply influential treatise, the De anima, and its first annotated French translation. Moureau’s book rigorously achieves this and offers much more.

Open science hardware (OSH) is a term frequently used to refer to artifacts, but also to a practice, a discipline and a collective of people worldwide pushing for open access to the design of tools to produce scientific knowledge. The Global Open Science Hardware (GOSH) movement gathers actors from academia, education, the private sector and civil society advocating for OSH to be ubiquitous by 2025. This paper examines the GOSH movement’s emergence and main features through the lens of transitions theory and the grassroots innovation movements framework. GOSH is here described embedded in the context of the wider open hardware movement and analyzed in terms of framings that inform it, spaces opened up for action and strategies developed to open them. It is expected that this approach provides insights on niche development in the particular case of transitions towards more plural and democratic sociotechnical systems.

This chapter presents a set of case studies focusing on our public engagement in the context of the movement to create a more open, transparent, and sharing culture through open access to research products. The NCSU Libraries’ work is grounded in open culture and programs that introduce students to open tools and practice have been a powerful way to help students learn to work collaboratively and transparently, as well as prepare a portfolio of their accomplishments. The ways we have designed, organized, and promoted library tools, spaces, and expertise connect our students with the communities where they live today and the lives they will build going forward, whether they choose a career in academia, industry, or the arts. These projects are justa few components of a broader series of programming designed to demonstrate the commitment the NCSU Libraries bring to supporting students as producers, the challenges inherent to this work, and the ways in which the Libraries can support and articulate the value of student creations. While actively exploring and engaging in this space, we do not purport to have the answers and are still investigating how best to provide emerging scholars and creative students with the tools, spaces, and resources to share, save, and disseminate their work.

Museums' Strategies for Opening up to Open Access. German Museums' Utilization Logics for Digital Content

Museums are expected to safeguard society’s cultural heritage while also making it publicly available to all. Recently, the digital transformation increased political and societal claims on museums to make their digital content openly available. This paper explores museums’ reactions to this claim and looks at how museums currently utilize their digital content. By analysing qualitative interviews with German museum officials we have found museums to follow four different types of strategies which are ‘Societal engagement’, ‘Safeguarding of heritage related knowledge’, ‘Scientific infrastructure’ and ‘marketing ends’. These were embedded in museums’ organizational identity and the prioritising of some of their tasks.
