Assigning authorship and recognizing contributions to scholarly works is challenging on many levels. Here we discuss ethical, social, technical challenges the concept of that may impede recognition a work. Recent work in field shows shifting more inclusive contributorship approach address these challenges. efforts enable better scholarship include development Contributor Role Ontology (CRO), which extends CRediT taxonomy can be used information systems for structuring contributions. We also...
The Scientific Reform Movement has highlighted the need for large research teams with diverse skills. This necessitated growth of professional team infrastructure roles (TIRs) who support through specialised skills, but do not have primary responsibility conceiving or leading projects. TIRs such as Lab Technicians, Project Managers, Data Stewards, Community and Research Software Engineers all play an important role in ensuring success a project, are commonly neglected under current reward...
The Berkeley Research Impact Initiative (BRII) was one of the first campus-based open access (OA) funds to be established in North America and most active, distributing more than $244,000 support University California (UC) authors. In April 2015, we conducted a qualitative study 138 individuals who had received BRII funding survey their opinions about benefits access. Most respondents believe articles greater impact as access, expect tap multiple sources fund fees, UC Open Access Policy its...
Seismica, a community-run Diamond Open Access (OA) journal for seismology and earthquake science, opened submissions in July 2022. We created Seismica to support shift OA publishing while pushing back against the extreme rise cost of author processing charges, inequities this is compounding. run by an all-volunteer Board 47 researchers who fulfil traditional editorial roles as well forming functional teams address needs technical design support, copy editing, media branding that would...
INTRODUCTION The norms of a research community influence practice, and openness sharing can be shaped to encourage researchers who share in one aspect their cycle another. Different sets mandates have evolved require that data made public, but not necessarily articles resulting from collected data. In this paper, I ask what extent publications the Earth Sciences are more likely open access (in all its definitions) when through Pangaea repository. METHODS Citations were studied determine...
Ten librarians offer spontaneous, even off-the-cuff, opinions about the pros and cons of blogs blogging. Are a substitute for print communication or older electronic resources such as static Web pages discussion lists? What will future hold their content? The reflect on these questions describe own use blogs.
Objectives: Replicate methods from a 2019 study of Earth Science researcher citation practices. Calculate programmatically whether researchers in rely on smaller subset literature than estimated by the 80/20 rule. Determine these reproducible analysis can be used to analyze open access uptake. Methods: Replicated prior provide an updated transparent, protocol that replicated with Jupyter Notebooks. Results: This study’s conclusions, and also adapted author’s practices Scientists at four...
The preprint is the initial version of a research article, often (but not always) before submission to journal and formal peer-review. Preprints help modernise geoscience by removing barriers that inhibit broad participation in scientific process, which are slowing progress towards more open transparent culture. new; […]

Earth Science is one of the least diverse scientific fields, but libraries can play a role in assisting their liaison departments’ diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts by diversifying our collections supporting research practices that promote use. In 2020, University California, Berkeley’s & Planetary Department graduate students created an impressive Call to Action directed toward faculty department. The included plan for advancing department’s inclusion, accessibility,...
Seismica is a community-led, volunteer-run, diamond open-access journal for seismology and earthquake science, Seismica's mission core values align with the principles of Open Science. This article describes editorial workflow that uses to go from submitted manuscript published article. In keeping Science principles, main goals sharing this description are increase transparency around academic publishing, enable others use elements journals similar size ethos. We highlight aspects differ...
Author(s): Teplitzky, Samantha; Warren, Mea | Abstract: Students have cited the cost of textbooks and other class materials as a barrier to majoring in certain subjects, often sciences where costs are most prohibitive. In an effort curb high on students, many universities investigating promotion adoption Open Educational Resources (OERs). These free or low-cost such resources that can be used material. This poster will examine state OERs Earth Sciences give suggestions for OERs. Many...
The Engineering & Physical Sciences Division of the UC Berkeley Library partners with researchers to support entire research life cycle. Since 2016, division’s Science Data Librarian has offered Research Management training that covers data management, storage, documentation, and sharing. Based on this established work, division librarians piloted a series open science workshops in 2019. Earth Planetary (EPS) Department was chosen as target department for work. Librarians began by replacing...
