Off to #OpenFest24 this morning. Is this the hashtag? No idea, but I'll be using it unless someone tells me differently!

Hi Alice - it’ll be #OpenFest24 (I’m one of the organisers!)

Andy sharing the dirty secret that most people simply aren't very good at searching! You can't just publish and expect that the people who need to see your work will find it. That's especially true for reaching those outside academia #OpenFest24
September 10, 2024 at 9:53 AM
Session closing with a lightning talk from @andytattersall.bsky.social: 'The wheat from the chaff - Are we publishing too much?' #openfest24
September 11, 2024 at 10:54 AM
Wishing you all a fantastic #OpenResearch event - sounds like a good schedule for today! #openfest24
September 10, 2024 at 7:05 AM
Next session at #openfest24 starting with @stephenpinfield.bsky.social and Melanie Benson Marshall (Sheffield iSchool) looking at how the open science debate/ discourse has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Day 3 of #openfest24 and we're excited to join colleagues at Sheffield Hallam University for a day of workshops on all things open, including OERs and open research advocacy...

...and we're done! Thanks to everyone who contributed to all the fantastic talks, workshops & discussions we've had over the past three days at #openfest24, including our colleagues at Sheffield Hallam University who hosted a brilliant and informative workshop day today!

It's day 1 of OpenFest 2024, our annual celebration and exploration of all things open research!

Coming up today: asserting Rights Retention, sharing the creative practice research, FAIR for Research Software, Office for Open Research & Scholarship and more!

Next up is @andytattersall.bsky.social, on "Making research open is one thing, but how do we ensure it reaches the right people?" #OpenFest24
September 10, 2024 at 9:50 AM
Next up Andy Tattersall talking about how we make sure that research reaches the right people.

You can't just rely on people being good searchers (particularly since Google Scholar is so nerfed these days!).

Next up at #openfest24 is the 'Unleash Your Data and Software' prize winners project showcase.
September 10, 2024 at 12:16 PM
Next up at #openfest24 is our fab Scholarly Communications Team, talking about developing a range of Library services and resources to support open research at TUoS: a digital handbook for researchers getting started with open research, OA monograph case studies, and a data stewardship service.

Andy argues that funding for dissemination of outputs should be included in research bids. This stuff doesn't have to be expensive, but shouldn't be an afterthought #OpenFest24
September 10, 2024 at 10:00 AM
Andy says we don't need to share everything - we need to share what's important, think about the message and who needs to see it.

Whilst he says many librarians don't agree, I do. I'm not an archivist - info is only useful if people want it.

Thanks to all our speakers, participants and contributors both online and in-person for a fantastic first day of #openfest24 . It's been a day of inspiring & thought-provoking stories, experiences & perspectives from across the disciplines.

The #OpenFest24 online symposium was brilliant with a refreshingly diverse programme, well done to the organisers and speakers! I’m so grateful of the focus on academic labour & inequalities and the impact these have on research & knowledge generation as these topics are often overlooked.
The second day of #openfest24, our online symposium Towards an Open Research Culture, has just drawn to a close with a fantastic panel discussion on open research & academic labour.

Thanks so much to all our speakers & especially to our keynote @simine.com for a great day of discussion 👏

Props to @jenniad.bsky.social for raising a question at @openresshef.bsky.social #OpenFest24 on 'Openwashing'

'Openwashing (where organisations/businesses pay lip service to open research while not really meaning it'.

That's not a term I have heard before but totally get it.
