Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern (CREC) Recommended Practice Public Comment Webinar
Tuesday, October 10, 2023, 12:00pm Noon - 1:00pm (Eastern Standard Time, US & Canada)

Retracted research—published work that is withdrawn, removed, or otherwise invalidated from the scientific and scholarly record—can be, and often is, inadvertently propagated within the digital scholarly record through citations. These citations are more likely to happen when content is 'silently' withdrawn or when the process for effectively communicating retraction at all publication lifecycle stages is unclear.

Since Summer 2022, NISO's CREC Working Group has been at work to create a Recommended Practice to address and provide a community-driven solution to this issue. The Recommended Practice is now in a draft state, ready to be shared with and receive feedback from the public. Join CREC Working Group co-chairs Caitlin Bakker and Rachael Lammey, along with CREC Working Group Member and Sloan Foundation grant recipient Dr. Jodi Schneider, as they discuss the project, the draft’s current status, and seek input from the community.

Confirmed speakers include: Caitlin Bakker, Discovery Technologies Librarian, University of Regina; Rachael Lammey, Head of Strategic Initiatives, Crossref; and Jodi Schneider, Associate Professor, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Building Connectivity Between Diverse and Diffused Resources
Wednesday, October 11, 2023, 11:00am - 12:30pm (Eastern Standard Time, US & Canada)

Scholarly outputs reside on a variety of platforms – institutional repositories, discipline-specific preprint servers, and commercially-owned services such as GitHub or Figshare. How do you maximize discovery and monitor usage of a scholarly output when it may not be hosted in a single location? The participants in this round table discussion will help us brainstorm how to build the best solution together to this challenge for scholars, researchers, information professionals, and students

This event will be moderated by Gabi Mejias, Community Manager, DataCite.

Confirmed speakers include, Maria Cotera, Partnerships Development Manager, Figshare; Mike Nason, Publication Support Specialist/Metadata/Crossref Liaison, Public Knowledge Network and University of New Brunswick; and Paolo Polinho, Data Coordinator, data_labe.

Strategic Planning
Wednesday, November 8, 2023, 11:00am - 12:30pm (Eastern Standard Time, US & Canada)

Every organization and institution is faced with the challenge of thoughtfully planning for the future, both known and unknown. This roundtable discussion will help you answer the question, What is the five year plan? What data, which forecasts are needed to properly formulate a strategic plan, the road map for moving your organization forward? Is there a proven template?  Or is there some secret formula, a special approach that the best leaders have already mastered? If every organization needs a five year plan, why isn’t the process easier, more effective, less time-consuming? This stimulating discussion between some of our industry leaders will likely generate as many questions as answers, but that too may help you move forward.
