Data lakes offer an emerging option for librarians who are seeking to develop data repositories for institutions of higher education. Data lakes provide flexible, secure environments for students and faculty to compute with licensed data. This paper presents a high-level overview of the data lake architecture, highlighting its differences from traditional data warehousing solutions. The paper also touches on the staff expertise required to create successful data lakes in academic libraries.

In this paper, we offer an overview of Latin America’s current scientific information infrastructure, highlighting its key role in the adoption of Open Access and Open Science in the region. Some of the most relevant open research information infrastructures are presented, and we discuss the importance of institutional, national, and regional open-access repositories, and journals’ portals on the development of a pioneering collaborative and academy-owned regional infrastructure. Although very successful and well-established, these infrastructures need to be strengthened and supported by national governmental agencies, and regional collaboration.

Libraries expand the access and visibility of data and research in support of an informed public. Search engines have limited knowledge of the dynamic nature of libraries - their people, their services, and their resources. The very definition of libraries in online environments is outdated and misleading. This article offers a solution to this metadata problem by redefining libraries for Machine Learning environments and search engines. Two ways to approach this problem include implementing local structured data in a knowledge graph model and “inside-out” definitions in Semantic Web endpoints. [LIBRARY A] has found that implementing a “Knowledge Graph” linked data model leads to improved discovery and interpretation by the bots and search engines that index and describe what libraries are, what they do, and their scholarly content. In contrast, [LIBRARY B] has found that contributing to Wikidata, a collaborative and global metadata source, can increase understanding of libraries and extend their reach and engagement. This article demonstrates that Wikidata can be used to push out data, the technical details of knowledge graph markup, and the practice of semantic Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It explores how metadata can represent an organization equitably and how this improves the reach of global information communities.

This paper is based on a panel session on various aspects of the Version of Record (VOR) – the permanent record, held at the APE 2022 Conference. It argues that even with the current possibility of sharing versions and elements of the VOR, such as a preprint, an Author Accepted Manuscript or protocols, the VOR still remains valuable. The scholarly community should continue to protect the VOR and recognise it as an enabler of invention. This way, research can be communicated in more rapid, more open and more diverse ways, enabling readers to access a fuller picture of research.

IT infrastructures are indispensable parts of today’s organizations, and keeping them secure is very important for successfully running the business. Due to the complexity of information infrastructure and network topology, traditional security measures no longer meet the security needs of current enterprises. Therefore, the holistic information security management analysis method has received extensive attention. An important task of these holistic security analysis methods is to analyze the value of assets so that IT managers can effectively allocate resources to protect the information infrastructure. Most of the current asset valuation methods are based on analyzing the dependencies between assets. In some cases, the dependencies are not easy to find, which makes the evaluation results inaccurate. Therefore, we propose model with analytic network process network (ANP) to evaluate the value of assets. This method not only considers the security factors and considers the importance of the assets to the business as well. It can evaluate the value of the assets and prioritize them, which can help the system administrator in making the decision for security enhancement.

This research investigates recent trends and developments in the scope and impact of international collaboration in research publications. A number of prior studies in the field of Research & Development (R&D) have outlined the factors influencing an increasing internationalization in R&D. We transfer these findings in a complete sample of publication data from the years 2008–2015 in order to find out and describe how researchers in the two academic fields Health Care/Clinical Medicine and Business & Economics collaborate with foreign-based colleagues. We analyze how this research by international teams performs in terms of received citations, compared to their national counterparts. We find that international teams generally receive more citations than national ones. Furthermore, we outline how the number of countries with relevant publication numbers has grown and diversified over the last years, and author teams generally became larger and more international. In a last step, we show how emerging countries built up competence and knowledge over time, as an increase in received publication citations follows at a delayed pace to an increase in publication numbers. While there are some differences between the two academic fields Health Care/Clinical Medicine and Economics & Business, with, for example the former having approximately around ten times more publications per year, than the latter, the major structural trends and developments are similar in both fields, outlining the robustness of our analysis.

This article reports on a NISO Plus 2022 session that addressed what can be done to safeguard the integrity of the scholarly content being created, disseminated, and used. How much responsibility does the information community have in ensuring that the content we provide is authoritative? Preprints are a great way to make early research results available, but it is not always clear that those results are not yet thoroughly vetted. Peer review – a key element of scholarly publication – can help, but is far from foolproof. Retractions are another important tool, but most retracted research is still all too readily available. What can and should we be doing to safeguard the integrity of the content being created, disseminated, and used?

Crossref envisions “a rich and reusable open network of relationships connecting research organizations, people, things, and actions; a scholarly record that the global community can build on forever, for the benefit of society”. This Research Nexus expands on the importance of research objects being persistently and uniquely identified. The scholarly community has an established practice of connecting things such as citations to others’ work and it is increasingly critical to identify relationships beyond citations, bringing together published work, unpublished work, institutions, individuals, and identifying the actions that they take e.g., funding, publishing, creating, modifying, citing, and sharing. The Research Nexus brings together metadata and relationships to build a joined-up picture of the scholarly ecosystem and helps everyone identify these relationships and how they change through time. This vision is possible if all parts of the scholarly ecosystem (and beyond) work together, including various scholarly infrastructure organizations.

“Co-opetition [1]” can help community-driven initiatives to combine strengths, focus resources and thrive in a changing and competitive landscape. Dryad is presented as one such initiative—committed to multi-directional collaboration and co-opetition, which is beginning to nest itself among other complementary services and form a network for open research that increases the collective resilience of aligned organisations.

This paper is based on a presentation delivered as part of the NISO Plus 2022 panel discussion titled “Open Science: catch phrase, or a better way of doing research?” that focused on the workflows of Open Science and opportunities for collaboration by stakeholders including publishers, repository infrastructure providers, and the wider research community. While the aims and outputs of Open Science are well-defined, this paper explores the workflows that are necessary to support the production of “open scientific knowledge”, as defined by UNESCO. Producing research outputs as open scientific knowledge is an activity that is undertaken alongside traditional research practices and must be planned for from the beginning of the research process. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities associated with Open Science workflows, focusing on an innovative new automated publishing pipeline on the Wellcome Open Research publishing platform.
