[Eril-l] Don’t miss these NISO events coming in April!

[NISO Announce]

**Apologies for cross posting**


April is almost here, and with it comes a new round of topical virtual
programming! Next month features educational events covering a wide range
of interests, including the communication of retractions and removals
<https://www.niso.org/events/2023/04/opentelecon-crec>, the changing
landscape of the scholarly research cycle
<https://www.niso.org/events/21st-century-research-cycle>, and quality
assurance for data sets
<https://www.niso.org/events/quality-assurance-data-sets-2023-niso-training-series>
.



NISO OPEN TELECONFERENCE – FREE AND OPEN TO ALL

CREC (Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern)
<https://www.niso.org/events/2023/04/opentelecon-crec>

Monday, April 10, 2023, 3:00 pm–4:00 pm EDT (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Retracted research—published work that is withdrawn, removed, or otherwise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“silently” withdrawn or when the process for effectively communicating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.



NISO formed its CREC Working Group
<https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/crec> last summer to provide a
community-driven solution to this problem. Its Recommended Practice for the
Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern will
clearly identify all parties involved in communication of the retraction
process, along with their responsibilities, actions, notifications, and the
metadata needed to effectively communicate that a piece of published
research has been retracted—and why.



Join representatives of NISO and the Working Group to discuss how an
improved process for communicating retraction information will increase
trust in the scientific process!



Confirmed speakers: Todd A. Carpenter, Executive Director, NISO, and Jodi
Schneider, Associate Professor, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.



Open teleconferences are free and open to all. See our event page
<https://www.niso.org/events/2023/04/opentelecon-crec> for info on how to
join.



NISO WEBINAR – FREE FOR NISO MEMBERS

The 21st-Century Research Cycle
<https://www.niso.org/events/21st-century-research-cycle>

Wednesday, April 12, 2023 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)



Increasingly, scholarly research is expected to be interdisciplinary in
scope, data-driven, and collaborative—frequently across global boundaries.
What impact does that have on what may be thought of as the traditional
research cycle, in which the scholar develops a question, researches
various facets of it, analyzes the findings, draws a conclusion, and shares
the final result through publication in some form, when the cycle begins
again. How are new policies, new technologies, and emerging expectations
changing how research is done in the 21st century?



Confirmed speakers include Björn Brembs, Professor, Neurobiology,
Universität Regensburg; Wind Cowles, Director of Data, Research, and
Teaching, Princeton University; Anita de Waard, VP, Research
Collaborations, Elsevier; and Emma Ganley, Director, Strategic Initiatives,

   -

   Use data cleaning techniques to detect and correct errors, missing
   values, and inconsistencies in data sets
