Generation Open: Researchers' Roles in the Age of Openness
Description
This panel discussion focuses on research and scholarship in an environment that is trending toward openness. The event will start with Mary Molinaro from UK Libraries providing a description of the current research environment and the expectation of researchers' roles. The first panelist (Dr. Douglas Scutchfield from UK College of Public Health) will then discuss the benefits of open access from the researcher's perspective, and his personal experience of taking the lead to support open access by creating a new open access journal. The second panelist (Dr. Matthew Zook from UK Department of Geography) will focus on the value of openly sharing research data, especially in terms of how it contributes to scholarship, innovation, and the public good. There will be a question-and-answer period after the two presentations.
