Open access

One of the reasons is that all the authors, all 28 of them, gave up their free copies and no royalties in the favor of wider distribution.

But I also don't understand how legal publishers make money because it's also free on the internet, on Open Access.

But I still, I'm of an age, I like printed copies.

So I'm very pleased that the publishers were prepared to do that, which shows that you can actually publish decent legal textbooks quite cheaply.

Andrea, thank you for having us.

And quick note to the listeners, the book is available open access and you can download it in the show notes below this episode.

Before we dive deeper into your edited volume, could you please introduce yourselves to the listeners and tell us about your academic background?

Hi, I'm Michal Frankl.

Thank you.

The edited volume, Refugees and Citizens in 20th Century East Central Europe, An Unlikely Refuge is available from CEU Press.

And as I mentioned at the beginning of the recording, it's available open access.

So you can download the PDF or the EPUB in the show notes below.

Wie seht ihr denn dieses Verhältnis? Wo ist denn der Bezug zwischen der offenen Wissenschaft und der Forschungssoftware? Und dann können wir vielleicht auch drüber reden, wie wir da auf den Research Software Day kommen.

Open Science, wie wir das meistens nur nennen und vereinigt daneben Open Access, Open Data und jetzt Open Source.

Auch noch weitere Konzepte wie Open Hardware und in den sogenannten Open Science Pillars von der UNESCO sind diese vier Sachen, die ich eben genannt habe, aber eben auch nur einer von insgesamt vier Teilen des Openness-Konzeptes.

Ja, das ist auch das, worauf ich mich oder wir uns größtenteils erst mal fokussieren.

Und die bekennen sich da erst mal zur Wichtigkeit von transparenter, von kooperativer und auch von nachnutzbarer Forschung.

Und das ist erst mal ganz wichtig, dass man so 'n High-Level-Statement da hat.

Dann geht's eben da drum: Wie können wir jetzt auf vorhandene Ressourcen und Entwicklungen aufbauen, zum Beispiel Open Access und Open Data.

Und das dann für die anderen Bereiche, wo eben auch Forschungssoftware reinfällt, als eine verantwortungsbewusste Offenheit gestalten, ne.

Sheila and Jennifer have amazing and diverse expertise from a variety of disciplines, so I'll let them introduce themselves in a moment.

But just to highlight, the two particular places where they have brought these researchers and ideas together are in two co-edited volumes, both with MIT Press and both Open Access.

In 2020, they published Movement Matters, How Embodied Cognition Informs Teaching and Learning.

And in June this year, they released their second volume entitled Embodied Intelligence, Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Natural, Artificial and Hybrid Systems.

And all the things that we're going to talk about in terms of how teachers can implement this.

So as we started writing, you know, I started thinking about, like, how can we translate this for teachers? Because I don't know how it is in Europe, but in the United States, we have a Department of Education and all the research that's being done doesn't really trickle down to the classroom for five to 10 years.

And my idea was that if we could get a book out there that would show teachers how to do it, that would be open access, that would be accessible.

And we made the pitch to MIT, and they really were excited about it.
