Seminario internazionale per la Open Access Week 2014
Torino, 22 ottobre 2014, ore 14-17 presso Aula Magna Campus Einaudi, Lungo Dora Siena 100
Il seminario intende offrire una panoramica sull’idea di Open Science, declinandola nel workflow della ricerca quotidiana come Open Access e Open Data e presentando strumenti, progetti innovativi ed esperienze concrete di apertura nelle scienze esatte come nelle scienze umane e sociali.
Coordina: Enrico Pasini, delegato del Rettore ai Servizi Bibliotecari

Relatori e abstract
| Gianpiero Pescarmona | Gianpiero Pescarmona è professore di Biochimica Clinica presso l'Università di Torino, dove ha anche diretto la Scuola di Specializzazione in Biochimica Clinica. Si interessa dei meccanismi molecolari delle malattie. Da anni utilizza strumenti aperti e interattivi per la ricerca e la didattica. | Open Science significa scienza aperta per tutti e ha valore non solo per la ricerca in sé ma anche per la società. Muovendo dall'aspirazione ideale per arrivare alle contraddizioni della realtà, si cercherà di mostrare l'importanza dei dati aperti e il maggior valore dei dati rispetto alle interpretazioni. |
| Pierre Mounier | Pierre Mounier is deputy director of OpenEdition, a comprehensive infrastructure based in France for open access publication and communication in the humanities and social sciences. OpenEdition offers several platforms for journals, scientific announcements, academic blogs, and, finally, books, in different languages and from different countries. Pierre teaches digital humanities at the EHESS in Paris. He has published several books about the social and political impact of ICT (Les Maîtres du Réseau, les enjeux politiques d’Internet 2001), digital publishing (L’Edition électronique, with Marin Dacos, 2010) and digital humanities (Read/Write Book 2, Une introduction aux humanités numériques, 2012). As deputy director of OpenEdition, Pierre Mounier’s work mainly revolves around the development of an internationalisation strategy for the infrastructure, in particular by establishing partnerships with platforms and institutions in Europe and elsewhere . To further this objective, he regularly participates in international conferences and seminars to present OpenEdition’s programmes and discuss subjects relating to digital humanities and open access. Pierre Mounier participates in the activities of Dariah, the European infrastructure for digital humanities, and co-pilots the “Open Access” group within the French infrastructure BSN. | Quoting from Young Researchers in Digital Humanities, a manifesto: "The Humanities and Social Sciences are a vital component of human culture and offer an essential insight into the world in which we live. The Digital Humanities reflect the transition of the Humanities to the digital age. However, they do not only bring with them new technical means, but also new forms of knowledge creation and dissemination within, across and outside academic disciplines. In the field of Digital Humanities, experimental practices, reflexivity and the collaborative elaboration of standards are deeply interconnected. They are, therefore, an occasion to rethink and extend the Humanities through new materials, methods and hermeneutics. Furthermore, they represent an opportunity to redefine our relationship to society through open access to cultural heritage and the development of collaborative projects which also engage non-academic audiences." My presentation will illustrate and explore those new research practices that arise in humanities and social sciences and the tools they use. |
| Stefano Bianco | Il Dr.Stefano Bianco e' Primo Ricercatore dell'INFN presso i Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati. Si occupa sia di analisi sia di sviluppo di rivelatori nell'ambito dell'esperimento CMS al CERN di Ginevra. E' stato responsabile del Servizio Informazione Scientifica di Frascati, ha seguito SCOAP3 sin dal suo inizio e ne e' ora rappresentante italiano, e' referente INFN per l'OA. | La comunità dei fisici nucleari, subnucleari e astroparticellari (in Italia coordinata dall'Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) e' da sempre usa all'utilizzo di tecniche e metodologie per la distribuzione dell'informazione sia verso i peers sia verso l'esterno. Più' recentemente, anche in risposta alle richieste dell'EU, si sono sviluppati metodi di Open Data che si rivolgono ancora più' esplicitamente verso il Citizen Scientist. Verranno esposti gli aspetti più' generali dell'attività' OAP e OAD dell'INFN, con particolare riguardo sui progetti in corso nell'ambito degli esperimenti al CERN di Ginevra. |
| Enrico Balli | Enrico M. Balli is the CEO of Sissa Medialab. He has been marketing and communication officer in many major publishing companies and media agencies in Italy and abroad. He is a specialist in developing education and communication project using different media since 1980. He seats in the Steering Committees of several european networks. | In the past years, Thomson Reuters' calculation of the impact factor has shown several limitations. An increasing need for alternative ways of assessing the quality of scientific research is felt in the scientific community all over the world. The Jfactor project has been set up in response to this need. A significant drive behind this project has been Thomson Reuters' denial to issue the 2012 IF of the Journal of Instrumentation (JINST – a journal owned by IOP and Sissa Medialab). The reasons behind this decision turned out to be alleged anomalies in the pattern of citations received by JINST in 2011 and stemming from proceedings published in Proc. SPIE by an author who massively cited his own work. After months of suspension, Thomson Reuters eventually agreed that JINST was entitled to receive an impact factor. This delay, however, damaged the reputation of the journal and that of its authors, not least for the lack of clarity with which the issue was handled. The Jfactor project started at Sissa Medialab in February 2014 with data provided by INSPIRE staff. The first results were presented to the community at the beginning of April, while the web site was made available in July 2014. |
