Given the dynamic rate of change in the OA books business models landscape, the OPERAS Open Access Business Models Special Interest Group launched a survey in 2021 to 1) improve our understanding of the scholarly publishing landscape and of the challenges that publishers face in the context of publishing OA monographs; and 2) to identify main trends (including opportunities and challenges) and the knowledge of collaborative funding and infrastructure models in OA publishing in Social Science and the Humanities. This white paper updates and expands an earlier version published in 2021, which presented the preliminary analysis of the findings. Despite a small sample of presses meaning that no strong trends ought to be discussed, several insights were drawn and should be considered important directions for the future. Key findings in the report have been grouped into three main areas: collaboration, funding, and support. The report found that, although not opposed to the idea, a majority of presses do not engage in collaboration, specifically collaborative models for shared infrastructure, mainly due to the lack of knowledge and information, or perceived lack of need. This indicates that, for OA books, we are still at the early stage of the adoption curve for collaborative shared infrastructure. In terms of funding, most publishers perceive themselves to be somewhat sustainable. For institutional publishers, parent organisations are crucial as providers of financial or non-monetary support of OA. In addition, most publishers stress the need to have more resources and rely on more than one funding source, including grants and subsidies. The report found that awareness-raising and targeted support and training could be used to engage the presses but further incentivisation may be required to encourage publishers to collaborate more widely. We believe that the insights from this white paper may be interesting to a number of projects, such as DIAMAS, OPERAS-PLUS, and Palomera and have presented areas for further research and more specific actionable points for these projects.

"Community Building" ist in den letzten Jahren zum Schlagwort, aber ebenso auch zu einem (Analyse-)Instrument geworden, um Vernetzungs- und Arbeitsprozesse anzuregen, zu ordnen, zu koordinieren und nachvollziehbar zu machen. Das Panel möchte den Möglichkeiten von Begriff und Programmatik nachgehen und die theoretischen und pragmatischen Potenziale der Nationalen Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (Konsortium NFDI4Culture) und ihren Fachcommunities beleuchten. Wir definieren dazu sowohl Schnittmengen als auch Schnittlinien (d.h. Grenzbereiche) und verweisen in der Diskussion auf Trainings- und Ausbildungsszenarien, die nicht nur von einer Einrichtung allein geleistet werden können, sondern sich entlang von Forschungsdateninfrastrukturen bewegen. Dabei werden Fragen nach fachspezifischen und generischen Formaten wie auch inter-konsortiale Vernetzungsbemühungen mittels Querschnittssektionen und forschungsnahen Leitthemen von Interesse sein. Ein Beitrag zur 9. Tagung des Verbands "Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum" - DHd 2023 Open Humanities Open Culture.

O presente documento consiste na sistematização de diretrizes e contribuições para os próximos anos de gestão do patrimônio cultural brasileiro. O documento foi compilado pelo Grupo de Trabalho (GT), designado no âmbito do Fórum de Entidades em Defesa do Patrimônio Cultural Brasileiro, para dialogar com o Gabinete de Transição “Cultura” do Governo Lula.

SSHOC-NL is a collaboration between the social sciences and humanities that is cutting edge and unparalleled internationally. It will make it possible for researchers to securely and ethically link and analyse a huge range of data such as historical records, text data, images, survey data, and social media data. This will help them address some of the most pressing issues that society faces such as polarisation, social inequalities, and our changing environment. These issues are complex and require lots of different perspectives to be brought together in order to find solutions. SSHOC-NL builds the infrastructure for researchers to do that. This document is the grant proposal submitted to NWO Large-Scale Research Infrastructure: National Roadmap consortia 2021.

Launched in 2006 and officially founded as an ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) in 2014, DARIAH has long held a place in the SSH Research Landscape. These first years were focused more on the construction of our international research infrastructure and of the various national consortia, as well as policy and advocacy on behalf of our communities. DARIAH also served, and continues to serve, as an excellent incubator for European project grants and the creation of project consortia. In the last two years, however, DARIAH has reached a new phase of maturity, with better organizational processes, developed services, and a stronger network of humanities researchers across Europe and beyond. These efforts are headlined notably by the SSH Open Marketplace and DARIAH Campus platforms, discovery platforms for tools and services, and pedagogical materials, respectively. Joining with the existing, grassroots and researcher-led Working Groups, DARIAH now has multiple means of enabling research in social sciences and humanities in a way that is visible to the individual researcher. DARIAH’s evolution presents an interesting use case in building a digital research infrastructure on a European scale, showing how to put in place infrastructural components and know-how to help advance the cause of SSH research in an increasingly digital and changing research landscape.

Diese Handreichung erläutert Schritt für Schritt die Möglichkeit, Dienste und Werkzeuge unter dem Dach des Vereins Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaftliche Forschungsinfrastrukturen (GKFI e.V.) in den SSH Open Marketplace einzupflegen. Entstanden ist dies aus einer Initiative von DARIAH-EU und DARIAH-DE zur eindeutigen Identifizierung und zur Pflege von Ressourcen aus diesem ERIC. Siehe dazu related IDs.

The Reception Reader is a web tool for studying text reuse in the Early English Books Online (EEBO-TCP) and Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) data. Users can: 1) explore a visual overview of the reception of a work, or its incoming connections, across time based on shared text segments, 2) interactively survey the details of connected documents, and 3) examine the context of reused text for "close reading". We show examples of how the tool streamlines research and exploration tasks, and discuss the utility and limitations of the user interface along with its current data sources.

Submitted draft not yet approved by the EC This is Skills4EOSC Deliverable D6.1 Mapping of existing professional networks. This deliverable provides an overview of the current landscape of Open Science related professional networks in Europe.

In the 21st century, the educational system plays a crucial role in promoting social progress and development. As the world becomes more interconnected with the help of education, the concept of a single global community, or "one world, one homeland," becomes more relevant as world citizenship. This article provides a comprehensive literature review of the current state of education and its potential to impact social progress. The study highlights the challenges faced by teachers in cultivating knowledge, values, and innovative teaching methods in students. The article explores the impact of the internet and instant communication networks on education and how they have changed the nature of ethnic and national identities in societies during globalization. It also discusses the importance of developing 21st-century skills, including critical and creative thinking, information, communication and civic literacy, global awareness, and cross-cultural skills in students. The findings of the research suggest that the education system needs to focus on promoting and preparing world citizens who are equipped with the necessary skills and values to contribute to the betterment of society. The article concludes that it is crucial to develop a citizenship concept from societies to the world perspective and to support students in developing their skills and abilities to help them meet the challenges they will face in society.
