OSFair2017 Workshop | Research lifecycle in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
Agiatis Benardou, Caroline Sutton & Janet Remington talk about the research lifecycle in Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences Workshop title: Research lifecycles in the humanities and social sciences Workshop abstract: A host of initiatives have moved the open agenda beyond simply open access to journal articles or monographs to a consideration of the entire research lifecycle and points at which this can be opened up. Further, we are entering a second phase of open scholarship whereby the community is now seeking to link together the many scattered solutions for different pieces of the research lifecycle. Open Scholarship offers an important opportunity for scholars in the social sciences and humanities. Although open access has gained traction more recently, it is well-known that widespread adoption of and transition to open access to journals and monographs has lagged behind many other subject areas for a host of reasons. Engaging scholars in these subject areas in open scholarship more broadly offers and opportunity to approach open from a multitude of angles. However, the research lifecycle that is presented and visualized by those engaged in open science typically visualises that of a scientist working within STEM fields. This follows an expected pattern (e.g. planning, implementation, publishing, discovery and impact, preservation, re-use) or sets of patterns in the form of sub-cycles (e.g. planning cycle, project cycle, publication cycle, preservation cycle, impact). These visualisations do not align with the process of scholarly inquiry that many humanities scholars and qualitative social scientists are engaged in and risks marginalising some communities. Imagine a professor of music, who creates bits of initially unrelated compositions and harmonies, which arose out of inspiration derived from listening to a gentle brook. These might give rise to new understandings of former theories of music or push forward techniques. The aim of this workshop is to work together with scholars to identify a series of research workflows that better reflect the processes of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. Once lifecycles are drafted, participants will identify points of potential sharing and open opportunities. These points will then be associated with current solutions and gaps will be identified.

- 23. Structure of Workshop 12:20 - 13:00 PART I Researchers in each workgroup share stories of workflows. Select one researcher’s workflow in each group. Begin visualizing this using various tools (poster paper, pens, post-its) Consider how access to open materials, etc could be helpful at different stages. Consider how stages could be opened up. 13:00 – 13:15 BREAK 13:15 – 13:30 PART 2 “Poster” Session One person remain with visualization, others visit other groups’ images. AIMS: 1) To create a visualization of a research lifecycle following one project. 2) If time, to begin identifying where the lifecycle can be opened up.
- 25. Some questions that might be helpful to think about • How could the researcher’s own work be enriched with access to freely available tools, information, others’ outputs, etc.? • Are you able to access what you need at different stages easily? • If you have access, what kind of access do you have? • How are you able to use the materials, tools, data, etc. that you find? Are there roadblocks? • What does openness mean in SSH? Sharing, collaboration, awareness-raising, impact beyond OA?
