I'm glad to share that Louise Bezuidenhout, Thed van Leeuwen (University Leiden) and I (TU Delft) have teamed up to organize a workshop on #monitoring #OpenScience, entitled "Diverse approaches to monitoring Open Science". Join us on September 26 and 27 at the TU Delft | Library for an insightful discussion. We invite Open Science practitioners and scholars from around The Netherlands to discuss monitoring and share expertise from existing initiatives to initiate a countrywide dialogue. There are limited spots available, make sure to register soon. Thanks to Open Science NL for making this event possible.

🌊✨ There's more to the beauty of the Wadden Sea territories ✨🌊 From subsidence due to gas extraction and peat oxidation to soil erosion, saltwater intrusion, eutrophication, and agricultural water pollution, the Wadden Sea's territory is under siege. Can we (co)design its landscapes to turn these emergencies into opportunities? The latest #openaccess book of Laura Cipriani delves into this very question, based on applied research in regional scenario-making and local design projects. #WaddenSea #SoilAndWater

📣#Announcement Collaboration Between TU Delft Library and ICT for the New Repository Last week marked a significant milestone at TU Delft, as the ICT department and TU Delft Library signed a Service Level Agreement (SLA) aimed at enhancing the management and service delivery of the TU Delft Repository. This strategic document clarifies collaboration frameworks, service interruption management, and future feature planning, ensuring improved service quality and longevity for the repository. The SLA represents a pivotal step in formalising collaboration between ICT and the Library, underpinning their joint commitment to excellence in academic resource management. The culmination of this collaboration resulted in the successful launch of the new Repository on 2nd July! This comprehensive online platform provides access to a wide array of outputs created or managed by TU Delft, including research articles, theses, conference papers, and educational materials spanning from the 1860s to the present. Developed entirely at TU Delft using open-source languages, the new Repository replaces an older version and integrates advanced functionalities to enhance search speed, content discoverability, and provide valuable insights for faculty. A heartfelt thanks to all ICT and Library colleagues who have contributed and dedicated themselves to the success of the new Repository. edu.nl/pa4vf.

The textbooks 'Testing theory: an introduction' and 'Adjusment theory: an introduction' by Peter Teunissen are now available as open access learning materials at TU Delft OPEN. https://lnkd.in/gY8fe-WM https://lnkd.in/ghMD_Fx9 In late 2022, Delft Academic Press (DAP) ended its longstanding activities of publishing and distributing physical teaching materials, causing significant disruptions for lecturers at TU Delft. Therefore, TU Delft OPEN Publishing acquired 20 textbooks published by DAP and gradually published all the titles they have publishing rights for as open textbooks. Both of Teunissen's titles have thus been republished with an open license TU Delft | Library Delft University of Technology TU Delft | OPEN Publishing TU Delft | Civil Engineering and Geosciences

"Why not a simple blacklist?" researchers keep asking me. You want your work published in legitimate, high-quality journals. But with the rise of predatory publishers looking to exploit the academic publishing system, it's crucial to exercise caution. In my latest post, I made a compelling argument for why whitelists like the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) or our own OA Journal Browser are a better approach than blacklists for identifying trustworthy journals. Avoiding Predatory Publishers: The Case for Whitelists Over Blacklists The key points: 📚 Blacklists are reactive, catching predators after the damage is done. Whitelists proactively define quality standards. 📚 Blacklist criteria can be subjective and biased, while whitelists have transparent evaluation processes. 📚 A multi-step, whitelist-centered approach safeguards research integrity better than blacklists alone. The post provides the steps to incorporate into your publishing strategy, centred around whitelists, to avoid falling victim to predatory practices. I encourage you to read this and share your thoughts! How do you evaluate journal quality and avoid predatory publishers? #AcademicPublishing #PredatoryPublishers #OpenAccess #ScholarlyComms Maastricht University Maastricht University Library Michel Saive Mariëlle Prevoo https://lnkd.in/e9sdWyWJ

🥁 Here is the first release of the podcasts we recorded during the #Coastlab24 Conference! In this podcast, Corrado Altomare shares his insights about wave-structure interaction and wave overtopping. In this podcast, you will hear how Bubble Image Velocimetry can be used to measure overtopping velocities in promenades and what are the challenges related to this specific measurement laboratory technique. 🎧 You can listen to the full recording in mixcloud: https://lnkd.in/gnQsWYrs or via our website: https://lnkd.in/dTa3TCVc 📌 Abstract Title: Overtopping Flow Velocity Characterisation of Focused Waves on Promenades Using the Bubble Image Velocimetry Technique. 🔗 Link to the article in the proceedings: https://lnkd.in/gvMuGVjq As this is the first podcast release, I would like to thank the chairs of the Local Organizing Committee, Bas Hofland and Marcel van Gent, for supporting this initiative. Also, special thanks to Alessandro Antonini and Davide Wüthrich for their valuable input in the making of this podcast series. Enjoy listening and stay tuned for the next episodes!
