FORCE2021: Full Schedule

13:00 UTC

Pre-conference Hackathon: Software Citations

The FORCE11 Software Citation Implementation WG (SCIWG) is holding a hackathon before and after the main FORCE2021 events. The main theme for hacking/discussing/doing is software citation and metadata exports (such as: CITATION.cff, codemeta.json, BibLaTeX @software, etc.)
More information and notes can be found on this online document.

Note: As part of FORCE2021, we will be hosting a pre-conference software citation hackathon, post-conference software citation hackathon, and a Deep Dive: Software Citation session exploring boarder topics regarding software citations.

Opening Remarks & Keynote: Beyond Diversity and Inclusion: Challenging Structural Racism and Systemic Biases in Academic Knowledge Production

While calls for equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in academia have been ongoing for decades, the reckoning of the need to address EDI within scholarly publishing has been relatively recent. This is surprising given that publishing is central to the production and reproduction of the institutional culture of the academy, which has historically privileged Whiteness and Anglo-Eurocentric ways of knowing. In this talk, I posit that the various forms of structural racism persist in the academy because they are buttressed by the norms and standards of publishing encoded in Whiteness that remain largely invisible. Informed by critical theory, personal experience, and existing research, this talk makes visible the historical and contemporary manifestations of racism and systemic biases in publishing and call for a new design of the knowledge production systems that center people, places, diverse ways of knowing and epistemic justice at the core.

Deep Dive: Research Data Publication Ethics

As the number and breadth of public datasets has grown so has the number and range of ethics and integrity issues associated with open datasets. Standards exist for journal publications, but have not been in place for data publication specifically, or in frameworks that directly involved data repositories. To respond to these emerging challenges, the FORCE11 Research Data Publishing Ethics Working Group, in collaboration with COPE, has been developing guidelines and resources to support journal editors, data repositories and institutions in the handling of ethics cases related to open research data.

In this session, we will present the resources the Working Group has developed, discuss experiences with ethics cases related to research data publication, and propose how the resources can support different stakeholders in the handling of such issues. We will also encourage feedback from the audience on their own experience with cases involving research data and on their views on resource needs across diverse stakeholders, to inform the Working Group's next steps.

Session Agenda:
Working group co-chairs Iratxe Puebla and Daniella Lowenberg will facilitate a deep dive into the background of research data publishing ethics, resources created by the WG, and open questions ahead for the community to tackle. Members of the WG will join for a panel discussion and open Q&A:
Speaker: Renee Hoch, Senior Editor, Team Manager, PLOS Publication Ethics

Panel: Bibliodiversity - introducing systemic changes in scholarly communications to support equity and inclusion

Bibliodiversity in scholarly communications has been in decline for several decades. Yet, we need a diversity in services and platforms, funding mechanisms, and evaluation measures in order to allow the scholarly communication system to accommodate the different workflows, languages, publication outputs, and research topics that support the needs and epistemic pluralism of different research communities. There are two other panels at Force11 focusing already on other systemic issues contributing to the current landscape: evaluation measures and funding mechanism. This panel will delve into the notion of a how a highly distributed and decoupled ecosystem can help scholarly communications become more inclusive. Panelists will present their ideas on the benefits of such an approach; explain how it can be implemented and scale across institutions, countries, and domains; and will present some specific examples of projects that are already under way.

Panel: Discoverability in (a) crisis

With millions of research outputs published each year, discoverability has become a huge challenge. The on-going pandemic has made this problem even more evident. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, we have witnessed an explosion of scientific publications and data related to it, and researchers struggle to stay on top of this knowledge. In this session, we will explore the causes and effects of this discoverability crisis and how we can overcome it going forward. We will discuss these issues with an international panel of experts from research, research support and scholarly infrastructure. The panel will be interactive with ample time for questions and comments from the audience.

Community Discussion on Open Metadata

Please jump into our active discussion document during the session: https://tinyurl.com/force2021-open-metadata

---
Many initiatives that call for open metadata are seeing successes while some are at the beginning of their journeys. Let's get our heads together to share lessons learned from groups like I4OC, I4OA, Metadata 20/20 and others to determine what has worked and what needs more attention. We will discuss priorities - citations? abstracts? licenses? relationships? as well as a strategy to join campaigns together to create a super-advocacy group, possibly working within the FORCE11 structure, to speed up progress.

Welcome and aims of the session (Ginny)
What have we learned from open metadata efforts? (Ginny, Laura, Catriona, Heather, Rachael)
What metadata are we still missing? High-level data analyses (Bianca)
Where should we as a community focus next? (Group prioritisation acvitity & discussion)
How do different categories need to be addressed? (All)
Conclusions & making a plan for concrete next steps (Cameron)

Come and join to kickstart the next metadata movement!

[Thanks also to Ludo Waltman, Paolo Manghi, John Chodacki, David Shotton, and Silvio Peroni (along with hundreds of other volunteers) - for the rich discussions leading to this point]

Keynote: The Future of Science Work: Pandemic Impacts on Scientific Communication & Collaboration

The past two years have brought remarkable shifts in the ways that researchers connect, communicate, and collaborate with one another and with the public and policymakers. The pandemic-driven shift towards virtual work and events has presented researchers with both opportunities for and challenges to participation, collaboration, and sharing. Dr. Anindita Bhadra, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences and Associate Dean of International Relations and Outreach at IISER Kolkata, will discuss the impact and future implications of these developments on researchers and their communication and collaboration practices. As the immediate past co-chair of the Global Young Academy, Dr. Bhadra will spotlight how early career researchers can carry pandemic practices forward to continue to improve accessibility and equitable participation in science.

Panel: The future of research assessment in open science era

Communicating science is hard. That process is not getting any easier as the size and complexity of research data grows, the analytical techniques become increasingly sophisticated, and the problems we are trying to solve increase in complexity. As we have seen with issues that affect broad swaths of society such as COVID19 and climate change, we as scientists need to consider how to better garner trust in complex research that may affect the daily lives and/or health of the public. This panel will discuss the growing need of research assessment to include the communication of science to a variety of stakeholders: from fellow researchers to policy makers to citizens.
