Open access (OA) is a set of principles and a range of practices through which research outputs are distributed online, free of access charges or other barriers. Under some models of open access publishing, barriers to copying or reuse are also reduced or removed by applying an open license for copyright. The main focus of the open access movement is "peer reviewed research literature". Historically, this has centered mainly on print-based academic journals. Whereas non-open access journals cover publishing costs through access tolls such as subscriptions, site licenses or pay-per-view charges, open-access journals are characterised by funding models which do not require the reader to pay to read the journal's contents, relying instead on author fees or on public funding, subsidies and sponsorships. Open access can be applied to all forms of published research output, including peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed academic journal articles, conference pa

This course teaches how to apply exploratory spatial data analysis to health data. Teaching focuses on the basics of spatial statistics and of epidemiology, and proposes a context to analyse geodatasets making it possible to study the relationship between health and the environment.

This course provides an overview of information security and privacy topics. It introduces students to the knowledge and tools they will need to deal with the security/privacy challenges they are likely to encounter in today's Big Data world. The tools are illustrated with relevant applications.

Machine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in sciences including physics. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced and practised.

monOApoly: a board game about Open Access

Lorenza Salvatori, Manon Velasco

How not to get lost in the quest to publish an Open Access article? This game focuses on how a researcher can make their publication compliant with the Open Access requirements of their institution and funders. To be compliant today, a researcher should try to choose full Gold, Diamond, and Hybrid OA journals included in transformative agreements, or negotiate as much as possible an acceptable embargo to self-archive a version of their article in their institutional repository. S.He must also be attentive about predatory journals and be aware of the double dipping question. This game explores the different ways – the “colors” of Open Access – to achieve this compliance goal and aims to reflect as closely as possible the reality of journals’ conditions, and the landscape of financial support possibilities, between transformative agreements and dedicated library funds.
