The Open scholarship movement is working to make scholarly outputs and processes accessible and reusable. By now, many—if not most—organizations support these principles and include open scholarship strategies in their own products and services. SSP participants work for dozens of different organizations with their own programs and plans, but we should connect with each other and collaborate to boost individual efficiencies in this area by creating and adopting community-based standards and recommendations. This session will highlight a number of NISO efforts, such as CRediT, Peer Review Taxonomy, and Publisher-Repository Interoperability, where diverse stakeholders have gathered to create standard solutions that advance open scholarship concepts and produce platforms for open scholarship advancements. As organizations collaborate with each other on standards initiatives, they are also supporting their employees in practical networking: making further connections with diverse interests, gaining technical education, and advancing and enriching careers. || Learning Level: Applied || Speakers: Nettie Lagace; Alison McGonagle-O'Connell; Anna Jester; Gerry Grenier

Scholarly information is fragmented, workflows are inefficient, and trust in research has been eroding in recent years. There are a number of reasons for this: too much time is being spent on administrative tasks; content discoverability, including access rights, is not optimized; researchers aren't getting the recognition they deserve and their publishers want; and there's a lack of the transparency needed to (re)build trust in research. In addition, publishers, in particular, need better information to improve strategic decision-making. Recent reports from Australia and the UK have shown that widespread adoption of persistent identifiers (PIDs) and their associated metadata could save tens of thousands of researcher hours and tens of millions of dollars for each of those two countries. In this session, you will hear from a broad range of stakeholders about how publishers, libraries, and other stakeholders can contribute to and benefit from improved scholarly workflows.
