    Open Access and Evidence Synthesis
    Comer, C. Cozette; Pannabecker, Virginia; DeBose, Kyrille; Brown, Anne M.; Stewart, Ryan D.; Patino, Sofia Rincon Gallardo (Virginia Tech, 2021-10-25)
    This session will begin with a discussion on how open access supports several aspects of the evidence synthesis process. We’ll explore the value of having open access sources to include in the synthesis itself and some challenges that must be overcome when searching and accessing sources that require institutional access or are fee-based. We will also address ways to utilize open access repositories (such as VTechWorks and Open Science Framework) to make your synthesis more transparent so that others can properly evaluate, replicate, or use your synthesis. Additionally, we will hear cases from folks who have used open access resources or repositories as a means to support their evidence synthesis projects. Panelists include: - Dr. Sofia Rincon Gallardo Patino, Regional consultant on Nutrition and Physical Activity at the Pan American Health Organization - Dr. Anne Brown, Assistant Professor, Science Informatics Consultant at the University Libraries at Virginia Tech - Dr. Ryan Stewart, Associate Professor, School of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Virginia Tech

    Open Access Week 2020 Keynote: Counting what counts in recruitment, promotion and tenure
    Gadd, Elizabeth; Ewing, E. Thomas; Finkielstein, Carla V.; Gill, Bikrum Singh; Johnson, Sylvester; Walters, Tyler (Virginia Tech. University Libraries, 2020-10-20)
    Open Access Week 2020 keynote speaker, Elizabeth (Lizzie) Gadd, Research Policy Manager (Publications) at Loughborough University in the UK, gives a talk about how what we reward through recruitment, promotion and tenure processes is not always what we actually value about research activity. The talk explores how we can pursue value-led evaluations - and how we can persuade senior leaders of their benefits. The keynote talk is followed by a panel discussion with faculty members at Virginia Tech: Thomas Ewing (Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research and Professor of History), Carla Finkielstein (Associate Professor of Biological Sciences), Bikrum Gill (Assistant Professor of Political Science), and Sylvester Johnson (Professor and Director of the Center for Humanities. The panel is moderated by Tyler Walters (Dean, University Libraries). The slides from this presentation are in Loughborough University's repository under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
