[CODE4LIB] CALL for Proposals: Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories 2015
*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* November 13, 2015 Read it online: http://www.or2015.net/call-for-proposals/ The Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories http://www.or2015.net/, OR2015, will be held on June 8-11, 2015 in Indianapolis (Indiana, USA). The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: *LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS* OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year’s overarching theme reflects that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at the Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication and research data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also help to ensure that open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping and sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship. OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support and manage them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We are particularly interested in: *1. Supporting Open Scholarship, Open Science, and Cultural Heritage Online* Papers are invited to consider how repositories can best support the needs of open science, open scholarship, and cultural heritage to make research as accessible as possible, including: • Open access, open data and open educational resources • Scholarly workflows, publishing and communicating scientific knowledge • Compliance with funder mandates • Considerations for cultural heritage and digital humanities resources * 2. Managing Research (and Open) Data* Papers are invited to consider how repositories can support the needs of research data. Areas of interest are: • Data registries • Storage • Curation lifecycle management • Management and digital preservation tools *3. Integrating with External Systems* Papers are invited to explore, evaluate, or demonstrate integration with external systems, including: • CRIS and research management systems • Notification systems (e.g. SHared Access Research Ecosystem (SHARE)) • Remote identifier services (e.g. ORCID, DOI, etc.) • Preservation services • Archival systems (e.g. CALM or Archivists’ Toolkit) *4. Re-using Repository Content* Papers are invited to showcase how repository content can be re-used in the context of: • Discipline-based repositories and services • Discovery services • Integration of semantic technologies • Repository networks *5. Exploring Metrics and Assessment* Papers are invited to present experiences on scholarly metrics and assessment services, particularly: • Bibliometrics • Downloads (e.g. COUNTER compliance) • Analytics • Altmetrics *6. Managing Rights* Papers are invited to examine the role of rights management in the context of open repositories, including: • Research and scholarly communication outputs • Licenses (e.g. Creative Commons, Open Data Commons) • Embargoes • Requirements of funder mandates *7. Developing and Training Staff* Papers are invited to consider the evolving role of staff who support and manage repositories across libraries, cultural heritage organizations, research offices and computer centres, especially: • New roles and responsibilities • Training needs and opportunities • Career path and recruitment • Community support *8. Building the Perfect Repository* Papers are invited to look ahead to OR16 and beyond to consider what the perfect repository looks like: • Key features and services • Who would be its users? • How would it transform scholarly communication? • What lessons have been learned since the first OR? • Or, is it a pipe dream and there's no such thing? Submissions that demonstrate original and repository-related work outwith these themes will be considered, but preference will be given to submissions which address them. *KEY DATES* 30 January 2015: Deadline for submissions and Scholarship Programme applications 27 March 2015: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference 10 April 2015: Submitters notified of acceptance to Interest Groups 8-11 June 2015: OR2015 conference *SUBMISSION PROCESS* *Conference Papers and Panels* Two to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services (see below for optional Proposal Templates). Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference's web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in an open repository. In general, sessions will have three papers; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group
