#DOASummit2024 #QNL #openaccess is not a destination, it's a guiding principles. We don't know what the end point will be. We have to work together to determine that future. #openscience #alwaleedaklhaja
#DOASummit2024 #QNL #alwaleedaklhaja we have to double down #openinfrastructure, If we don't invest we'll end up in purely commercial publishing paradigm. This enables things like more journals in Arabic -- which is critical for us. #openaccess #openscience
#DOASummit2024 #QNL "this keeps me up at night. Misuse of CCBY NC, CCNY NC-ND when publisher has commercial rights but NOT the author. This is not in the spirit of #openaccess #openscience" Licensing content for AI/LLMs w/o author benefit is against spirit of OA. #alwaleedaklhaja
#DOASummit2024 #QNL #alwaleedAklhaja what works for Qatar right now won't be permanent. Our challenges continue: #Openaccess agates are expensive, complicated, inequitable, licenses don't make sense, lack of transparency. #inflation #priceincreases #hardtounderstand
#DOASummit2024 #QNL #alwaleedAklhaja seeing the benefits of #openaccess but EVERYTHING needs an open license - content needs to be translated in Arabic, want to create OERs, and want to expand openness to #opendata #openmethods etc. How does Social Justice fit in? #rantincoming
#DOASummit2024 #QNL #alwaleedAklhaja negotiates as a consortium to serve all Qatar researchers -- #openaccess is a priority, #manaraproject is meant to be legacy archiving - esp outputs in Arabic. Meant to be an infrastructure solution w/ Uni of Doha and Hamad Bin Khalifa Uni #openscience
