Open Access explained in one very simplified image

A very simplified image explanation of the different types of Open Access by Esther Plomp. The image is based on CC0 licensed images, as well as one image (hybrid) made created by Scriberia with The Turing Way community. Used under a CC-BY 4.0 licence. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3332807. The upload contains three versions, of which Open-Access-3 is the latest and includes 'Black' Open Access. ALT text for Open-Access-3: An overview of open access options. The diamond one says 'published without charges' and is represented with a diamond in front of the open access logo. Green has a green open access logo and says 'self archiving using repositories without charges'. Gold open access is represented with a big bag of money that says profits on it, and says 'published with charges'. Hybrid is represented by two dragons that are asking you to pay them, text says: publish or read with charges. Bronze is represented by a pile of poop and the text says 'published without clear reuse permission'. Black is represented by the sci-hub logo and says 'published behind a paywall'.

The Carpentries Mar 6

It's been a busy week away from the office for our Director of Curriculum Toby Hodges who attended the #deRSE26 conference at the University of Stuttgart!

He presented a talk on the developments around the AI Carpentry project, and also co-led two HPC Carpentry-related sessions.

Toby's talk, "Training to Protect Research Integrity in the Age of AI-assisted Coding," explored some of the open questions surrounding the use of LLMs for coding in research, including: what role should RSEs take in an environment where it has never been easier for researchers to produce code? https://events.hifis.net/event/2945/contributions/21155/

The talk was very well attended and received lots of really positive feedback afterwards about the direction the AI Carpentry project is headed, giving us confidence that we are on the right track. Thanks everyone for your contributions to the project so far!

And thank you, Toby, for all that you do for The Carpentries and our curricula! 🙏💙
