Community Standards and Recommendations Supporting Open Scholarship: A Host of Benefits for All

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
