Abstract Research Portal Denmark collects and exhibits data from global, national, and institutional sources for Danish research in four parallel databases, including publications which have been mapped to one or more of the 17 SDGs. Unsurprisingly, the portal&#39;s databases show that due to the sources&#39; SDG mapping methods, there is a big difference in the number of SDG tagged publications from different sources, as well as which- and how many SDGs the respective publications have been mapped to. The presentation will discuss how – and whether you can handle this inconsistency in an analytical context in a responsible way.

SDG’s in Research Portal Denmark – providing insights on a national level

Abstract Research Portal Denmark collects and exhibits data from global, national, and institutional sources for Danish research in four parallel databases, including publications which have been mapped to one or more of the 17 SDGs. Unsurprisingly, the portal's databases show that due to the sources' SDG mapping methods, there is a big difference in the number of SDG tagged publications from different sources, as well as which- and how many SDGs the respective publications have been mapped to. The presentation will discuss how – and whether you can handle this inconsistency in an analytical context in a responsible way.

Open Access Monographs simultaneously represent a challenge and opportunity for both researchers, academic libraries and publishers Firstly in supporting academics to navigate the changing monograph landscape and achieving a wider readership, whilst also complying with funder policies. Secondly in terms of libraries working in dialogue with publishers to support the wider development of the OA monograph sector, as well as ensuring students and researchers have continued access to optimum content. Thirdly for publishers in terms of financial sustainability.

The evolving world of academic publication can give rise to complex questions around publication ethics involving multiple stakeholders: researchers, journal editors, publishers, and different teams within an academic institution. Publication ethics may be covered by institutional policies, by research group codes of conduct, by journal and publisher policies, or collaborative agreements. If an issue arises, this may be complex, leading to delays and extra work for all those involved. In this panel session we will explore publication ethics issues from a wide range of stakeholder perspectives to consider where the various responsibilities lie and more effective ways to resolve issues.

Cold comfort or hot potato: who’s responsible for publication ethics?

In this session we look at how Library Services at Birmingham responded to researchers wanting to leverage the UK’s copyright rules around text and data mining (TDM) for non-commercial research purposes. Our talk will cover our journey from initial engagement with researchers, to exploring infrastructure issues with IT colleagues, and encountering skills gaps as we look to develop new services and activities that meet the needs of those using TDM, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) or Big Data methodologies in teaching and research.

A TDM journey: understanding user needs and developing library support

As a department of the University of Cambridge, Cambridge University Press and Assessment shares the University’s aim of contributing to a sustainable future for all. Setting a target of reducing our energy-related carbon emissions to zero by 2048 is one way in which we aim to add social and environmental value to the world and minimise impact on the environment and the communities where we operate. Many other universities represented at UKSG will have similar targets and we have much to learn from each other about how to achieve them. Working collaboratively with our partners, suppliers and stakeholders is essential to scale up global progress. Find out how we are addressing the challenge of environmental sustainability at CUP&A, including how we are decarbonising buildings, analysing our own Scope 3 data and tackling the knotty problems of reducing emissions associated with both print and the digital hosting of publications.

Minimising environmental impact and improving sustainability, Cambridge University Press’s journey to becoming greener

Institutions and publishers have been signing read & publish agreements to combine the cost of reading and publishing under one agreement. However, the user experience for both is still treated as two separate journeys. In this breakout session, we will discuss what a more unified, ‘read & publish’ user experience could look like by allowing authors to use the same login with a publisher to read their paywalled content and publish in a publisher’s journals. We will discuss examples, challenges and implications for publishers and libraries.

The read & publish user journey: delivering a unified reader & author experience

To empower students and researchers to challenge, analyse and debate critically, it is essential to find, digitise and amplify content created by and for underrepresented communities and reveal perspectives that have been historically silenced. Of equal importance is maintaining an open dialogue with individuals who can speak to the experiences of marginalised communities, and engaging with those facing similar challenges: archives, customers, curators, subject experts and publishers. By asking questions, interrogating decision-making, sharing experiences and enlisting advice, we can continue to improve editorial processes and produce more diverse and equitable resources and research. In this session we invite speakers who have worked with AM to share their vital work in these areas, including: • how students and researchers are being supported to find marginalised voices in archival collections for their research • how primary source publishers are collaborating with and learning from the academic and library community to produce more diverse resources

Amplifying hidden voices in primary source collection

This session will explore our accessibility journey and how the development of a Staff Accessibility Network has supported a community of practice to explore and develop our practices in at Edge Hill University. Accessibility Champions can be a catalyst to developing accessible cultures and thinking within organisations and enable colleagues to explore the emergent technologies supporting people with disabilities, driving positive user experiences for all.

The development of a Staff Accessibility Network

The role and place of universities in society are shifting and various initiatives seem to bridge the gap between science and citizens. The last couple of years a number of Open Science and Citizen Science Hubs have emerged in Europe including the U.K. But how can this be relevant for my library or institution? What are the successes and pitfalls? And what is the added value? In this breakout session three seasoned Open Science and Citizen Science entrepreneurs engage participants on how to get started.

Libraries as hubs for innovation and co-creation: How to get started!

Now that many publishers are moving to open access models, this panel will look at the experience of 3 very different publishers and the challenges they face. We will discuss how decisions are made to move to OA, how to decide on the right model for each journal, and the measures of success for the transitions.

Challenges of moving to new publishing models

In today's world, it’s not a question of if your institution will be hit by a cyberattack, but when. With higher education experiencing digital transformation and universities increasingly vulnerable to cyberthreats, it is imperative that institutions take proactive measures to mitigate the risks – and as stewards of access to campus networks, libraries are in a position to make that mitigation more effective. In this session, we will get advice on library-based network security strategies from a university chief information security officer, a librarian, and a cybersecurity expert.
