SUMMARY:The #citylis International Open Access Week Lecture: Cameron N
 eylon
DESCRIPTION:The limits of “open\": Why knowledge is not a public goo
 d and what to do about it.\nSpeaker: Cameron Neylon\nPresented by Erne
 sto Priego, Centre for Information Science, City University London\nR1
 01, Franklin Building, City University London, 124 Goswell Road, Londo
 n, EC1V 7DP\nFree. Requires registration.\nA strong argument could be 
 made that efforts to adopt and require Open Access and Open Data in th
 e 21st Century research enterprise is really only a return to the 17th
  Century values that underpinned the development of modern scholarship
 .\nBut if that’s true why does it seem so hard? Is it that those val
 ues have been lost, sacrificed to the need to make a limited case for 
 why scholarship matters? Or is something more fundamentally wrong with
  our community?  \nDrawing on strands of work from economics, cultura
 l studies, politics and management Dr Cameron Neylon will argue that t
 o achieve the goals of Open Knowledge we need to recognise that they a
 re unattainable. That knowledge is not, and never can be, a true publi
 c good. If instead we accept that knowledge is by its nature exclusive
 , and therefore better seen as a club good, we can ask a more producti
 ve question.\nHow is it, or can it be, in the interests of communities
  to invest in making their knowledge less exclusive and more public? W
 hat do they get in return? By placing (or re-placing) the interests of
  communities at the centre we can understand, and cut through, the app
 arent dilemma that “information wants to be free” but that it also
  “wants to be expensive”. By understanding the limits on open open
  knowledge we can push them, so that, in the limit, they are as close 
 to open as they can be.\n\nCameron Neylon is Professor of Research Com
 munication at the Centre for Culture and Technology at Curtin Universi
 ty and an advocate of open research practice who has always worked in 
 interdisciplinary areas of research. He has previously been Advocacy D
 irector at PLOS (the Public Library of Science), a Senior Scientist at
  the STFC Isis Neutron and Muon Facility and tenured faculty at the Un
 iversity of Southampton.  He was named as a SPARC Innovator in July 2
 010 for work on the Panton Principles was a co-author of the Altmetric
 s Manifesto, and is a proud recipient of the Blue Obelisk for contribu
 tions to open data. He is a co-author of the Panton Principles for Op
 en Data in Science and writes regularly on the social, technical, and 
 policy issues of open research at his blog, Science in the Open.\nThis
  event is free and open to the public but requires registration.\n\n\n
