Policies and requirements

Objective of the project Open Science for Arts, Design and Music

The project aims at supporting the Swiss disciplinary field of arts, design and music in implementing the swissuniversities Open Access action plan 2021-2024 in collaboration with key stakeholders. More specifically the project involves a network of Swiss schools of art design and music and it develops centralised and local services. The centralised service produces guidelines and solutions for a selection of case studies with the support of a legal team, it produces webinars and training for the local staff, it involves Swiss institutions in international networks and it triggers Green, Gold and Diamond

Open Access among the publications in the field of ADM. At a local level, the different schools involved notify case studies, receive training and coaching to support their researchers, teachers and collaborators, to include Open Access and Open Data (i.e. copyright management, open licenses, multimedia formats, reviewing processes) within students’ curricula and to negotiate with national publishers specialised in ADM. The project contributes to alternative forms of publications and it participates to international initiatives: it implements in 2022 the guidelines, in 2023 training and coaching, and in 2024 the negotiations with institutional, national and international publishers.

Coordination	Reports Administration / management: contracts, bills, mandates Slides of the meetings, recordings of meetings among the partners, meetings with the advisory board Financial statements from partners Reports from partners	Adminsitration / management: bills, CV, personal information of people involved Communications from swissuniversities - reviews, comments, feedback Communications from stakeholders Email from partners / experts inolved	Administrative data are confidential. CV and other personal data need to be erased as soon as possible. Important to use tools and storage systems recommended by the institutions (SUPSI for the leading organisation). Reports can be made available but they can not include confidential informations Slides of the meetings can be made available under CC BY 4.0 Important to use free and open software as much as possible (Meta-Wiki, BBB, zenodo, OSF...)
Case studies	Case studies produced by the partners Reply to the case studies	Documentation related to specific projects cited in the case studies	Informing partners that we are creating public case studies with the documentation they provide (the CC BY license is already included in the project) Request of authorisations from people interviewed (communication by email) to record interviews and release them under CC BY-SA. It can be useful to produce a DOI for the case studies

Methods


Content produced	Method	Instruments	Procedures	Quality measurement
Case studies	The case studies are meant to document needs and practices related to open access among Swiss schools of arts and design and among publications in the fields of arts, design and music / arts and humanities. We used the case studies to guide the design of the guidelines but also to accompany publications in becoming more open (using proper licenses, creating an open access policy, reviewing policies and practices...)	Documents in word and pdf Case studies published and updated on Meta-Wiki Case studies archived on OSF	Case studies from Schools of arts and design Template to document a case study sent to the partner. Collecting the case studies. Publishing the case studies on Meta-Wiki. Request of including in the report information about the case studies. Updates of the case studies if available. Case studies about publications Meetings with the publishers / journals. For the national publishers we organised recorded interviews released under CC BY-SA. Proposal of improvement of open access for institutional and international publications. Creation of a case study on Meta-Wiki. Information about the case study to the publishers /journals. Updates of the case studies if available.	The case studies are published online in an open website (Meta-Wiki) which allows anyone to read, review and modify content. The exposure of the content allows anyone to review it, make changes and propose changes.
Training	Beyond producing training, we used online recorded meetings to collect data about new methods and approaches and to develop case studies through conversations. The videos produced were used to collect data for the guidelines and they are linked within the guidelines.	Webinar with video recording: BBB Open Science room (free and open software tool offered by Wikimedia Italia) https://cvs5133.ergonet.host/b/iol-gdq-fbx-tst, unedited video archived in the BBB room. Occasionally we had to use Teams (some of the experts involved had BBB blocked by their institutions) OSF Open Science Framework to permanently archive slides and videos and by generating a DOI; content is stored in specific OSF component Postproduction of videos to add a cover with title, credits and license. Peertube (open source federated platform), space offered by ILS Italian Linux Society	Email exchange with the experts involved. The email included the license CC BY and CC BY-SA Description of the training in a Meta-wiki page Creation of a component on OSF https://osf.io/yhr7s/ Topic and questions shared with people involved Webinar online communicated to the partners and to some specific contacts. All webinar open to anyone Slides shared during the webinar and uploaded on Wikimedia Commons and OSF Postproduction of videos Upload of the videos on OSF and peertube Generating a DOI	Meeting 15-30 minutes before the webinar to check sound, video and slides Postproduction of the video
Guidelines	The guidelines have been produced throughout the project. We produced three different structures of the guidelines before reaching a satisfy structure. We used the training to involve experts and to be able to add specific content to the guidelines with the information and support of other scholars and practitioners.	We used Meta-Wiki (an open platform part of the Wikimedia projects released in CC BY-SA) to elaborate the guidelines. An editable version of the guidelines remains on Meta-Wiki and can be continually updated. Updates are recorded in the chronology page, modifications can be always reviewed and it is always possible to compare different version of the document. We decided to adopt CC0 as default license of the guidelines (with a recommended citation and with an "unless otherwise stated" to allow the reuse of some of the existing images) We produced a graphic version of the guidelines; all images and tables were remade to improve graphic consistency and we used graphic tools to create different ways to browse the guidelines according to the feedback received. We exported images in svg and upload them on Wikimedia Commons with specific captions to facilitate reuse. The images were edited in a way which can facilitate reuse (the included caption can be removed and the image can be easily included also in Wikipedia articles if useful). We created a DOI on Zenodo and we waited until the public presentation We uploaded before uploading the third revision version of the guidelines on Zenodo. Also google docs have been used for the final versions of the guidelines and to prepare content for the graphic designers.	Fist structure of the guidelines on Meta-Wiki Editing of the collaborators. Review of the partners and of the advisory board. Second structure of the guidelines to simplfy and reduce content Review of the partners and of the advisory board. Third structure of the guidelines guided by an editor. Review of the partners and of the advisory board. Review of external experts. Publication on Meta-Wiki in the talk page of the guidelines of all reviews and comments received (or most of the comments). Creation of a DOI on Zenodo. Graphic design of the guidelines. Public presentation of the guidelines, further reviews. Export and editing of all the images, temples, graphic design. Upload of the visuals on Wikimedia Commons. Upload of the guidelines on Zenodo. Editing of the online guidelines on Meta-Wiki with the revised version of the guidelines. Adding the the visuals on the guidelines on Meta-Wiki.	The guidelines have been elaborated online in an open website (Meta-Wiki) which allows anyone to read, review and modify content. The exposure of the content allows anyone to review it, make changes and propose changes. The guidelines have been submitted to the project partners and to the advisory board. We invited a team of experts to review the guidelines We invited experts and interested parties to discuss the guidelines in a public event to ask for feedback also to DARIAH-EU open science and Wikimedia Foundation

Risks and mitigation plans


Risk	Mitigation plan
Wikimedia communities remove content from Meta-Wiki.	Explaining the relevance for the Wikimedia projects and communities of the information provided on Meta-Wiki. Involving a member of the Wikimedia community in the advisory board.
Meta-Wiki pages are changed.	A frozen version of the content is archived on OSF Open Science Framework.
Meta-Wiki doesn't provide DOI requested by the project review.	DOI are provided by generating them on OSF Open Science Framework and Zenodo (for the guidelines).
The guidelines become obsolete.	The editable version of the guidelines is provided on Meta-Wiki and can be updated. The planning of new projects - related to alternative forms of publications, open data and GLAMs - can provide a change to include the update of the guidelines in new projects.
You use a CC0 for the guidelines and people do not cite you.	The choice of CC0 is indeed to allow people to not cite us, but to freely use and change the guidelines. It is important because attribution requires that the reused texts is clearly identified and this can be complicated. The guidelines under CC0 can simply and eventually be mentioned in a general bibliography; in any case we stress in the guidelines the importance of citing sources for ethical issues, for the code of conduct of scientists but also because citing sources allows to verify content and to increase the quality of content.
