October is a busy month at the National Information Standards Organization!
Our program covers the CREC Recommended Practice

discovery across platforms
<https://www.niso.org/events/building-connectivity-between-diverse-and-diffused-resources>,
a training series on text and data mining
<https://www.niso.org/events/text-and-data-mining-2023-niso-training-series>,
and the 2023 NISO Tech Summit <https://www.niso.org/events/niso-tech-summit>on
open science. We kick off the month on Tuesday, October 3, with the NISO
Plus Forum <http://niso.plus/forum> on AI and Machine Learning in Scholarly
Publishing: Services, Data, and Ethics—there’s still time to register!

ON-SITE EVENT | REGISTRATION DISCOUNTED FOR NISO MEMBERS

NISO Plus Forum 2023 <https://niso.plus/forum/>

Tuesday, October 3, 8:30 am–5:00 pm EDT (US/Canada)

American Geophysical Union, Washington, DC

The theme of our second NISO Plus Forum is a timely one—AI and Machine
Learning in Scholarly Publishing: Services, Data, and Ethics. The event
features a format organized around “World Cafe” discussions, with the focus
primarily on practical work in small groups to help shape NISO’s standards
development priorities. It’s a great opportunity to share perspectives with
a diverse group of colleagues from across the information industry.

For more information, including a preliminary program, see the NISO Plus
site <https://niso.plus/forum/>. Registration is discounted
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/niso-plus-forum-2023-tickets-647120664327> for
NISO members.

PUBLIC COMMENT WEBINAR | FREE AND OPEN TO ALL

Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern (CREC)
Recommended Practice <https://niso.org/events/crec-public-comment-webinar>

Tuesday, October 10, 12:00 pm–1:00 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Retracted research—published work that is withdrawn, removed, or otherwise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“silently” withdrawn or when the process for effectively communicating
retractions 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 members of the CREC
Working Group as they discuss the project, the draft’s current status, and
seek input from the community.

Confirmed speakers: 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.

This event is provided as a public service at no cost to the information
community, but please register
<https://niso-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Mss7eEA3Q0ux16ZKN6XFsw#/registration>
to attend. The recording will be shared with all registered attendees.

MONTHLY ROUNDTABLE WEBINAR | FREE FOR NISO MEMBERS

Building Connectivity Between Diverse and Diffuse Resources
<https://niso.org/events/building-connectivity-between-diverse-and-diffused-resources>

Wednesday, October 11, 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (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

Moderator: Gabriela 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 Polinho
Mota, Data Coordinator, data_labe.

Registration is not required for NISO members. Non-NISO members, please

comprehensive course will introduce participants to key concepts and tools
of text and data mining, including data types, data structures, data
pre-processing, text processing, data mining techniques, text mining
techniques, and advanced topics in both data and text mining. Each session
will include a Python component, discussing the importance of Python and
its libraries in handling various aspects of text and data mining.

The series consists of eight weekly segments, each lasting 90 minutes.
Specific dates are October 12, 19, and 26; November 2, 9,16, and 30; and

NISO Tech Summit <https://www.niso.org/events/niso-tech-summit> | Two-Day
Virtual Event

Wednesday, October 25, 2023, 10:00 am–1:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)

Thursday, October 26, 2023, 10:00 am–1:30 pm EDT(US/Canada)

In January of this year, the White House Office of Science and Technology
Policy (OSTP) launched a significant milestone in the science and
technology arena when it unveiled the Year of Open Science. As we approach
the conclusion of this pivotal year, NISO’s Technology Summit brings this
topic center stage to reflect on  this multi-agency endeavor and its
far-reaching impacts.

The summit will constructively critique the role of technology and
supporting organizations in either facilitating or impeding the progress
toward open science. We’ll consider which existing systems were prepared to
embrace the declaration’s ideals and which required new implementations.
Furthermore, we’ll explore how library and publishing communities seized
the opportunity presented by the Year of Open Science and how we can
collectively strive for improvement.

Confirmed speakers (others TBA) include Caitlin Carter, Program Manager,
HELIOS; Jason Griffey, Director of Strategic Initiatives, NISO; Mark Hahnel,
CEO and Founder, Figshare;  Nicole Pfeiffer, Chief Product Officer Center
for Open Science (COS); Greg Tananbaum, Director, Open Research Funders;
and Keith Webster, Dean of University Libraries, Carnegie Mellon University.

See the NISO website for more information and to register
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/niso-tech-summit-registration-443375968457>.
Discounts are available for NISO Voting Members/LSA Members. Recordings
will be available for those who cannot attend the live broadcast(s).

We hope to see you soon at one of these upcoming events. In the meantime,
