Publikace Otevřený přístup Knowledge Research Education 10(2010) Národní technická knihovna, National Library of TechnologyPublikace Otevřený přístup Manufacturing knowledge in the age of pervasive forgetting(2010) Lass, AndrewThe distinction between information and knowledge highlights the often neglected difference between the storage of information, what it takes to build, maintain and utilize, and knowledge, whether private or public, the actualized ‘content’ that underwrites who we are and is both the tool and goal of what we do. The two processes are best exemplified by the library and the university. Both have grown in complexity and importance in unprecedented ways over the past few decades, yet their actual raison d’etre has shifted in ways that are both deceptive and dangerous. We have become obsessed with the technologies of information (processing), to the detriment of the art of knowing, and mistakenly equate storage with memory as we convert the world into a massive document archive. While we continue to invest heavily in the manufacturing of knowledge, from preschool through the university to the science lab, our knowledge of ourselves and of others, of how things are or came to be, is increasingly more piecemeal, temporary and one sided. I will present several examples to illustrate my point, briefly review the pertinent scholarship and advocate for an increased awareness of the negative consequences of the university/ library enterprise: the institutionalization of forgetting.Publikace Otevřený přístup New roles of libraries in Teaching, Learning and Research(2010) Geleijnse, HansThe Open Access movement started as an answer to the ‘journals crisis’ and has developed into worldwide initiatives to speed up and renew the process of scholarly communication and to improve the access to research publications and data. Open Access is currently being promoted by researchers and librarians, but also by university boards, national governments, funding bodies and the European Commission. The development of University mandates, Open Access Journals, institutional and subject repositories will be discussed. The focus will be on the developments in Europe and on the involvement and role of research libraries. Experiences with repositories learn that it is important that the deposit of publications is integrated in the workflow of the researcher and that repositories are seamlessly linked with the research information system. It is a great challenge to renovate the process of scholarly communication in such a way that open access can be provided to scholarly information, with maintaining the principles of quality control, certification and peer review. Research communities can play a key role in the development of new models and the creation of sustainable solutions, but leadership of university managers is essential to pave the way and to create the conditions for change.Publikace Otevřený přístup The Future of Academic Publishing for the Good of University and Society(2010) Noorda, Sijbolt J.The recent trends in digital media and issues of access to research data, academic publications and education resources. Will sharing data, open access to peer reviewed journals and open educational resources change higher education and research? What does it take to seriously participate in these developments? What are the costs and risks, what are the benefits to students, scholars and society at large?Publikace Otevřený přístup Crisis of scientific communication: Fact or Fiction?(2010) Haňka, RudolfModern libraries have been around for hundreds of years and served us well with practically the same form of service. Today electronic publishing seems to be changing not only the form of service but the concept of a scientific library as such, as professionals for their work not only need access to the right publications but they frequently want it right now. At the same time some, if not all, modes of scientific communication are experiencing growing degrees of stress. We are faced with an almost exponential expansion of journal titles, many of them published only electronically. When we add to this the current tendencies to assess the scientific merit of an academic by the number of his publications or citations we see the basis for this ‘publish or perish’ culture we all are experiencing. On the other hand the emphasis on the ‘transfer of technologies’ is often forcing scientists to hold back publications of their results in order to protect their intellectual property. Indeed some results are never published or patented precisely because their commercial value is greater when their essential principles are not known. We see the gradual decline of telephone directories as our mobile telephone numbers are deemed to be too confidential to be published. Are we moving in the same direction with the scientific results of a real value?Publikace Otevřený přístup Knowledge, Research & Education at University and in Industry(2010) Vobecký, JanAfter twenty five years of experience in the research, education and industrial cooperation at the Czech Technical University in Prague, the author of this contribution left into the industry. Working in the field of research and technology development of the multinational high-tech company, he has received a complementary picture on the organization, methodology and control strategies governing the Knowledge, Research and Education (KRE) in the industry. With the personal experience from these two worlds, he will talk about contemporary approaches to the KRE at both the University and Industry. He will present state-of-the-art practices from Knowledge Management Control, planning, reviewing and efficiency metrics of Research, the application of Learning Management Systems, etc. Their brief discussion aims to answer the question: What can today's University learn from modern Industry and vice versa in favor of a future growth?Publikace Otevřený přístup Academic Scholarship in the Digital Age(2010) Schmiede, RudiDigital information and the increasing amount and availability of its basis, data, is changing scholarship to a more or less dramatic extent. New areas of research and knowledge have been created by the availability of machine-produced data, calculations, and simulations in various academic disciplines. In academic teaching, too, digitized sources and forms of learning are about to convert studying and lecturing to a considerable amount. However, no adequate infrastructure for digital information has emerged yet. Whereas in the field of scientific information providers (libraries, document centers, publishers etc.) new services, arrangements and business models are being experimented with, the scholarly disciplines are, by and large, lagging behind these developments, as are most scientific work practices and teaching in general. To sum up: An information infrastructure of scholarly information has been developed, but not one for scholarly information, yet. What this means, and some ideas of what could be done about it, shall be discussed in the talk.Publikace Pouze metadata Konference KRE: Knowledge, Research, Education(2010) Chodounská, AlenaPublikace Otevřený přístup KRE 10: Knowledge, Research, Education(Národní technická knihovna, 2010) Národní technická knihovna, National Library of TechnologyPublikace Otevřený přístup 09\09\09 Start se zdařil,... 09\09\10 ...jedeme úspěšně dál a opět překvapujeme(2010) Národní technická knihovna, National Library of TechnologyPublikace Pouze metadata Zpráva z konference Knowledge-Research-Education 2010(2010) Buchtová, Barbora; Uhrín, TiborČlánek pojednává o zářijovém pobytu v Praze, kde jsme se zúčastnili konference KRE po boku profesora Andrewa Lasse. Konference byla věnována především oblasti vzdělávání, výzkumu a knihoven – především univerzitních. Zaměřovala se na nové trendy a metody přesahující z oblasti univerzitního vzdělávání prostřednictvím univerzitních knihoven do oblasti výzkumu a praxePublikace Otevřený přístup Common mistakes in the application of bibliometric information in the Czech Republic(2011) Jurajda, ŠtěpánI review the existing evidence on the productivity of Czech science (by field) based on bibliometric data, point to typical mistakes made in recent evaluation exercises and analyses, illustrate these using examples typically drawn from social sciences, and offer a few tentative bibliometric facts myself.Publikace Otevřený přístup Evaluating Research at Levels from National to Institutional(2011) Staros, James V.Choosing appropriate research metrics is critically important whether one is responsible for research evaluation at the national level, institutional level, or the even the level of the individual researcher. I will discuss how research metrics are employed in several influential national research evaluation systems in the United States, how peer review is employed in the distribution of national research funding, and how individual institutions can evaluate their research programs to better align them with available funding and with national rankings.Publikace Otevřený přístup Measuring Health in Research and Innovation Systems: The Czech Research Audit in International Context(2011) Arnold, ErikNational Research and Innovation Systems are complex and their health is difficult to measure. A growing number of countries have tried to review and diagnose their own systems through approaches such as the OECD Innovation Policy Reviews, 'Policy Mix' peer reviews at EU level, large national studies or evaluations of major actors such as research councils. This presentation will set out some of the key findings of the recent Czech Research Audit in an international context and reflect on the needed mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis.Publikace Otevřený přístup A short story about multi-dimensional research assessment and SciVal applications(2011) Verheggen, JoepResearch assessment is a abroad endeavour. At the root it is an attempt to measure the return on investment in scientific –scholarly research. Research assessment includes the evaluation of research quality and measurements of research inputs, outputs and impacts and embraces both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In his talk the presenter provides a concise overview of developments in research assessment and evaluation practices and will address a conceptual model for multi-dimensional research assessment. He will further address Elsevier’s involvement in research management through its “SciVal” portfolio of research performance, - planning and - funding applications. The presenter will demonstrate how this portfolio can meaningful contribute to both national/regional and institutional assessment exercises. He will subsequently provide a number of examples to illustrate how Governments and/or HE Institutions and organisations like Elsevier can collaborate to improve the quality of Research Management and the assessment exercise process.Publikace Otevřený přístup Participatory Design of Academic Libraries(2011) Foster, NancyParticipatory design is a process by which the people who will use a space, a service, or a tool are involved in its conceptualization and development. Traditionally, a narrow range of experts, such as architects, engineers, or computer scientists, decided what people needed and how it would be built. Even today, library buildings and especially catalogs and other library technology are built in this traditional way, and this is why they are often so hard to use. The alternative is to consider that the people who use libraries are experts in an important sense: they are expert in how they do research. In academic libraries, the participatory design process allows us to capture information about how people do scholarly work and how that work may best be supported. In this talk, I will argue for the quality and value of the information we gather as part of the participatory design process. I will explain how we collect information through photo elicitation, mapping activities, workshops and traditional interviews; how it can help us understand the academic work process and how people learn of and obtain information; and how libraries and universities can use such design processes to help their researchers do their best work and their students make the most of their academic opportunities.Publikace Otevřený přístup Zkušenosti ze spolupráce akademické a průmyslové sféry v oblasti výzkumu a vývoje(2011) Machan, JaroslavThe fast process of globalisation and, as a result, the increasing pressures of worldwide competition require intensification of cooperation between the academic and industrial sectors at both national and multinational levels. The presentation outlines selected topics and identifies areas that should develop such cooperation and make it more effective as the next step. Primarily, these include: Selected factors limiting cooperation on the academic side, Deficiencies in the methods of approaching joint projects, Different ideas of time constants in joint projects, Clearly set key responsibilities of the respective worksites, Possible factors of reinforcing the cooperation. Furthermore, the presentation outlines ŠKODA Auto Development Department experience of cooperation with the academic sector in joint projects, specifically: R&D projects funded from non-public resources (ŠA's direct contracts, contracts of VW Research), R&D projects funded from public resources (EU, Czech Republic), Training & education projects funded from public resources (esf).Publikace Otevřený přístup International Conference Knowledge Research Education: Měření výzkumu(2011) Národní technická knihovna, National Library of TechnologyMinisterstvo školství, mládeže a tělovýchovy, České vysoké učení technické v Praze, Vysoká škola chemicko‑technologická v Praze a Národní technická knihovna vás 8. – 9. 9. 2011 zvou na mezinárodní konferenci KRE 11 (Knowledge, Research, Education), věnovanou měření výzkumu.Publikace Pouze metadata KRE 2011 aneb Knowledge – Research - Education(2011) Farkas, PavelPublikace Otevřený přístup Konference KRE 11: Rozdělují se peníze na vědu správně?(2011) Národní technická knihovna, National Library of Technology
