L'importanza di una politica 'open' per il trasferimento della conoscenza e il ruolo delle biblioteche
Molino A.
Nel corso degli ultimi anni l'Open Science come paradigma della scienza e approccio alla conoscenza si è fatto sempre più conoscere non solo in ambito accademico, ma anche tra la cittadinanza attiva attraverso numerose iniziative riconoscibili sotto il cappello della Citizen Science. Le politiche europee si pongono a favore dell'affermazione di questa tendenza. Esempi sono il finanziamento di iniziative per lo sviluppo di nuovi parametri per la valutazione della scienza; la creazione di infrastrutture che promuovano la trasmissione della conoscenza in forme innovative e che vadano oltre la pubblicazione editoriale come finora nota. Nonostante le politiche per l'accesso aperto alla conoscenza in generale, alla produzione scientifica in particolare e, in anni più recenti, per l'accesso libero ai dati della ricerca si stiano consolidando nella pratica quotidiana per chi opera in questo settore, il cammino verso il libero accesso alla conoscenza resta accidentato. Il coinvolgimento della cittadinanza è fondamentale e rappresenta un'ulteriore sfida. La cooperazione tra scienza e popolazione attiva potrebbe essere la chiave di volta perché la scienza e soprattutto la conoscenza aperta diventino il nuovo modo di creare e diffondere il sapere? In che misura le biblioteche possono giocare un ruolo fondamentale in questo contesto? Facendo riferimento alla situazione attuale, alle iniziative in corso e alle tecnologie attualmente a disposizione, è un interrogativo che è necessario porsi per delineare gli scenari possibili del prossimo futuro.Source: AIPH 2022 - 4a.

Data from "Grey Literature citations in the age of Digital Repositories and Open Access"
Giannini S., Molino A.
The data collected is based on a sample corpus built on: a) the bibliographical references of articles in four journals over the years 2012-2014; b) the proceedings of two international conferences held in 2012 and 2014. The full text paper, presented at the International Conference Series on Grey Literature, measures grey citations in the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 and describes the features of GL documents mentioned in the areas Computational Linguistics and Computer Science and Engineering. The data from the study was collected and arranged in 2016. The original information was extracted directly from the primary sources, i.e. the bibliographical references of the articles published in the selected journals and proceedings. The dataset consists of all the analyzed bibliographical references of the chosen journals and proceedings accompanied by some informative classes processed to perform calculations and provide statistical information. It contains the number of bibliographic references and the number and percentages of usage of "grey" references and "grey" document types in the considered timespan. The data derived from this sample are suitable for different types of reuse and functional for anyone interested in citation analysis.Source: The Grey journal (Print) 14 (2018).

The data librarian: Myth, reality or Utopia?
Giannini S., Molino A.
The emergence of e-science and e-research has opened new paths and trends in scholarly communication and management. In the academic environment, the need for opening research products to a wider audience has become increasingly urgent. In this perspective, the Open Science (OS) movement is growing considerably in academia and among scientists worldwide. Two fundamental aspects of OS are the Open Access (OA) to scientific publication and the possibility of discovery, sharing and exploit the data used for or produced during the research process. The need for creating Open Data (OD) is profoundly changing the perspectives adopted by researchers during the scientific production, as research data is increasingly recognized as a primary research output. Not surprisingly, in order to have access to grants, funding bodies such as the European Commission, the Wellcome Trust and the RCUK in UK, the Australian Research Council in Australia, or the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. ask for a Data Management Plan (DMP) accompanying the project proposal. In this perspective, many academic libraries are now extending their century-long track record in the professional management of knowledge resources towards the area of research data, seeking to maximize research data skills among staff in their organisations. Academic libraries are indeed increasingly involved in the management of research data across the lifecycle, actively participating in tasks such as providing access to data, supporting researchers in managing their data and drafting DMPs, as well as managing data collections. Given this framework, it becomes clear that the "librarian" represents a constantly evolving profile. Our work will propose an overview of the competencies required to the librarian operating in academic libraries nowadays, delivering examples and making comparisons between different experiences worldwide. Special attention will be granted to the educational aspects necessary to accomplish with the actual skills required to research librarians, being training a fundamental aspect in the development and definition of this profession, highlighting the similarities and differences in educational proposals among different academic institutions. We will focus on the following questions: what is currently missing in the background of librarians? Should it be implemented or we must consider the data librarian as a brand-new profile? Our aim will be trying to give possible answers and outline specific qualifications required to those currently operating in academic libraries.Source: LL2120th International Conference on Grey Literature: Research Data Fuels and Sustains Grey Literature, GL 2018; Loyola University New OrleansNew Orleans; United Twentieth International Conference on Grey Literature, pp. 51–66, New Orleans, USA, 3-4 December 2018

Open Access - A never-ending transition?
Giannini S., Molino A.
In more than fifteen years, the landscape surrounding scholarly communication has been undergoing an overextended transition phase towards Open Science. Indeed, the Budapest Open Access Initiative, the first statement of principles on open access to research literature, dates back to 2002, immediately followed by the Bethesda Statement and the Berlin Declaration (2003). However, this seems not to be enough, as far as we are still referring to Open Access as a transitional process. The concept has undoubtedly evolved through time: at the beginning, the primary purpose was to remove economic, legal and technical barriers imposed to scientific production; nowadays, the attention has been shifted to the communication processes among scientific communities and the openness towards the external audience, establishing a bridge between science and society. In this light, various funders invested resources in favor of the promotion of OA. For instance, the European Commission published a series of recommendations (2012/417/UE and 2018/790) "on access to and preservation of scientific information" and, together with other funders, now require Open Access to scientific production as mandatory for projects funded in their granting schemes. In the meantime, more and more institutions have been adopting policies to regulate and promote Open Access to scientific production. Nevertheless, on the publishers' side, the APC (Article Processing Charge) model is currently the wider spread among the dominant publishing houses as the option for making the work immediately and openly available to the scientific community. For this reason, a growing number of academic institutions and research bodies are negotiating different kinds of contracts with publishers, if not terminating them at all (e.g., the University of California or Max Planck Society canceled their contracts with Elsevier). As a response, proposals like PlanS1 and AmeliCA2 aroused to turn OA into concrete action. Our work aims to demonstrate how the research landscape has been changing over the years due to the establishment of the OA principles. We will go through the most significant steps of the OA movement, giving an overview of the tools developed from the late Nineties till the present time to favor the production, sharing and storing of OA material; the principal types and trends of policies adopted; the main legislative issues regarding scientific publication (e.g., the creation of CC licenses). We will concentrate on how research practices have been unarguably modifying in the last two decades, to outline what and where are the obstacles and challenges that leave society in a never-ending transition towards Open Science.Source: Twenty-First International Conference on Grey Literature, pp. 67–88, Hannover, Germany, 22-23 October 2019

Grey Literature and Research Assessment exercises: from the current criteria to the Open Science models
Giannini S., Deluca R., Molino A., Biagioni S.
In the recent years the application of strategies, procedures and tools to evaluate the research have become subject of interest and their application is currently matter of discussion. The assessment exercises are regulated at national level and are carried out in different European countries such as France, United Kingdom and The Netherlands. In Italy the first research assessment exercise has been legislated in 2003 and entrusted to a specific Committee named Comitato di Indirizzo per la Valutazione della Ricerca (CIVR)1. Three years later the CIVR and other committees have been replaced by a specific Agency named Agenzia Nazionale di Valutazione del Sistema Universitario e della Ricerca (ANVUR). This Agency, set up at the end of 2006, aims to «...rationalize the system of assessment of the quality of Universities, state and private Research Institutions beneficiary of public funds...» « The results of these activities managed by ANVUR represent a criteria to assign the state funds to Universities and Research Institutions». It is not hard to imagine that the effects of this type of exercise has a strong political implication and determines a significant economic impact on the future of Universities and Research Institutions. The debate concerning the adopted methods and critical aspects about the assessment exercises is studied thoroughly at international level. At the present time, ANVUR has completed two evaluation exercises of the quality of the research named Valutazione della Qualità della Ricerca (VQR): the first one spans the years 2004 - 2010; the second from 2011 to 2014. The work analyzes the environment of VQR in order to understand the organizational set-up, the operational models, the scientific areas involved in the process, the selection and evaluation criteria and indicators of the research products. The work looks at the environment of VQR in order to understand the organizational set-up, the operational models, the scientific Areas involved in the process and the selection and evaluation criteria of the research products. More in detail, our work analyzes and compares the evaluation exercises conducted in Italy with the aim of verifying if and how Grey Literature is involved in the research evaluation processes. The article checked the types of products admissible for the research assessment and those actually presented by the researchers of Universities and Research Institutions. We measured the products from a quantitative point of view and observed their ramification in the different disciplinary fields rather than their transformation during the period of time taken into consideration. At the same time, we focused on the Open Science movement in order to understand what could be its role within the research assessment exercises and how it could affect the future of scholarly scientific communication.Source: Nineteenth International Conference on Grey Literature, pp. 17–22, Rome, Italy, 23-24 October 2017

Le biblioteche italiane durante la pandemia COVID-19: un'indagine sui servizi
Giannini S., Lombardi S., Molino A.
A causa della pandemia causata dal Covid-19, dalla metà del mese di febbraio le biblioteche in Italia hanno iniziato gradualmente a chiudere al pubblico. In un lasso di tempo molto breve, i bibliotecari italiani si sono trovati a dover implementare soluzioni diverse per garantire l'erogazione dei servizi e il supporto all'utenza anche da remoto. Lo scopo della nostra indagine è quello di fornire una fotografia della situazione in cui si sono trovate ad operare le biblioteche italiane durante la fase 1 della pandemia, in particolare nel periodo marzo-aprile 2020. Abbiamo cercato di capire in che modo i bibliotecari italiani hanno reagito alle sfide poste da questa particolare e improvvisa situazione, e in quale misura le modalità eccezionali adottate durante l'emergenza possano diventare degli standard lavorativi nel futuro. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, abbiamo proposto alla comunità dei bibliotecari italiani un questionario strutturato in tredici sezioni, ciascuna corrispondente a un aspetto specifico che intendevamo analizzare. Abbiamo collezionato 1134 risposte anonime in undici giorni, provenienti dall'intero panorama bibliotecario italiano. I risultati ci hanno dimostrato che i bibliotecari italiani si sono adattati abbastanza rapidamente alla nuova realtà lavorativa con un grado di difficoltà medio. In generale, c'è stato un uso estensivo dei mezzi digitali. Inoltre, nonostante le comunicazioni con l'utenza siano state principalmente virtuali, la consapevolezza del pubblico nei confronti della biblioteca e dei suoi servizi sembrerebbe essere rimasta quantomeno stabile, se non aumentata. La maggior parte dei compilatori ritiene che quanto sperimentato durante la fase 1 dell'emergenza porterà sicuramente a delle conseguenze nella vita delle biblioteche e per le modalità lavorative dei bibliotecari anche nel futuro.Source: ISTI Technical Report, ISTI-2020-TR/012, 2020

Grey Literature in the context of the UN 2030 Agenda
Lombardi S., Molino A., Giannini S.
The poster presents the results of a survey on Grey Literature distributed to a heterogeneous set of Italian libraries in a questionnaire. Our analysis moved from the observation that our involvement in the grey community led us in touch with European and international initiatives. However, we do not have a deep knowledge of the Italian panorama. We do not know how much Grey Literature is present in the Italian libraries, if and how it is managed, whether it has an informative value, and is available to the patrons. To fill this gap, we thought of a survey that refers to the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda, focusing on the importance of access to information. We reached 4096 email addresses and received 265 answers. In the poster, we report the results obtained, especially in terms of interest in Grey Literature, the specific types of documentation present in libraries, and the practices implemented to give visibility and favor the use of this documentation. The limited number of answers led us to imagine that Italian libraries do not consider GL a primary interest topic. However, librarians replying to our survey seem to think of GL as an essential portion of libraries' documentary resources either for the patrons or for the implementation of UN SDGs. Therefore, they would be available for future projects dedicated to GL.Source: GL2021- Twenty-Third International Conference on Grey Literature.
