Open and Engaged Conference 2021 - Understanding the Impact of Open in the Arts and Humanities Beyond the University
In Higher Education contexts, discussions around openness are often focused on the pathways to make publications, data or cultural objects openly available online. It is often not known what impact open resources can have for various communities beyond the research community.
The speakers at Open and Engaged 2021 will explore the different impacts that open resources can have on people. They will seek to question how openness enhances the ability to engage with communities, how projects can be sustainable and make positive changes in the long-term, as well as some of the downsides to current approaches to open engagement.
Many of the speakers come from the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) sector, and we will learn about ways cultural organisations generate, measure and report on impact, and seek useful connections across the higher education and cultural sectors.

Item type:Conference paper (unpublished), Best of both: combining arts and science to measure the benefits of online culture for mental health in young people(2021-11)Adams, HelenAn inter-disciplinary project undertaken by museum and psychiatry staff at the University of Oxford in 2020 set out to find out if online cultural content could be effective against common mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. The O-ACE (Online Active Community Engagement) project used traditional arts engagement research methods such as surveys and co-production alongside health status measures and psychometric tests as part of a randomised control trial of more than 400 participants. As a result, it generated new understanding of how GLAM [Galleries, Libraries and Museums] organisations can actively involve audiences in medical research and of how cultural interventions may positively impact individual wellbeing, prior to diagnosis, treatment or social prescribing pathways. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Conference paper (unpublished), Increasing engagement through Towards a National Collection(2021-11)Bailey, RebeccaAt the centre of the £18.9m research development programme Towards a National Collection is the aim to increase engagement with the cultural heritage collections of the UK. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the programme is working to link collections and encourage cross-searching of multiple collection types, to enable research and enhance public engagement. This presentation will outline the achievements and ambitions of the funded projects, and start to look ahead to a national collections research infrastructure.1 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Conference paper (unpublished), Impact cannot be measured, and other sad half-truths about impact measurement(2021-11)Boruta, LucNot everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. In this talk, I look at bringing algorithmic fairness to impact measurement, from web-scale attention tracking to computer-assisted data story-telling. Drawing on my experience with altmetrics, I argue that many proxies for impact correlate not only with impact but also with privilege, and that all stakeholders should therefore disclose the inner workings and the limitations of their information systems to pay off (some of) their fairness debt. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Conference paper (unpublished), Users understand OpenGLAM. Do GLAMs?(2021-11)Sanderhoff, MereteFor more than a decade, a dedicated bunch of Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums [GLAM] around the world have been advocating for opening up cultural heritage collections while pushing for openness in their own institutions. Today, more than 1,200 GLAMs worldwide feature open access to their digitised assets – making OpenGLAM a trend, but not yet the mainstream. Parallel to this, users are getting used to demanding free and open access to common cultural heritage. The days of “All rights reserved” on old masterpieces seem to be counted, and people outside the institutional walls are creating marvellous new art and knowledge resources using data from GLAM collections, spurring on developments in digital literacy, citizen science and democratic citizenship. While users are increasingly “getting” OpenGLAM, the GLAM sector at large is lagging behind in embracing the potentials of an open cultural heritage. What arguments are we missing to move forward?2 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Conference paper (unpublished), Assessing the broader value of research culture: The hidden REF experience(2021-11)Derrick, GemmaThe hidden REF was an experiment to counteract existing evaluation methods. UK REF Impact Case Studies have a narrative linearity which fails to appreciate the amazing plethora of interactions, individuals and different types of output that are part of our research culture. The hidden REF exercise aims to celebrate the breadth of activity in the current research culture. There were over 130 submissions into 21 different categories, organised into 5 assessment panels. The Hidden Role attracted the highest number of submissions and surfaced those individuals whose attributes and behaviours had had a positive impact and influence upon the wider research culture.2 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Conference paper (unpublished), The Ethics of Open Access in the Endangered Archives Programme(2021-11)Schaik, Sam vanThe Endangered Archives Programme (also known as EAP) gives funding to people running projects to digitise and preserve archival materials at risk of destruction. These can date from any time before the middle of the twentieth century, and from most parts of the world except Europe and North America. The resulting digital images and sound files are made available via the British Library’s website. The Programme has been set up to ensure that the owners of the original archives and the wider community are full participants in these projects, and receive and hold the primary copies of all digital material. Nevertheless, there are ethical issues with the Creative Commons license through which these digital materials are made available, and practical considerations with working globally, and an ongoing conversation about this is a vital part of what we do.2 3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Conference paper (unpublished), What does the future hold for "open" and cultural heritage institutions?(2021-11)Vézina, BrigitteGLAMs’ [Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums] public interest mission is squarely aligned with the open access ethos. Indeed, making their collections as openly accessible, shareable, and reusable as possible is the best way for GLAMs to achieve their mission as they digitize and offer their collections online. But only a tiny fraction of the world’s GLAMs share their collections through open access initiatives. GLAMs face a host of barriers to embracing open access. At Creative Commons, we want to help GLAMs overcome these barriers, to unlock universal access to knowledge and culture. Our Open GLAM Program is building a coordinated global effort to help GLAMs make the content they steward openly available and reusable for the public good. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Conference paper (unpublished), Making a Difference and 'Partnering for Impact'(2021-11)Boddington, AnneThis presentation will reflect on impact as defined in the Research Excellence Framework (REF2021) and that forms a key element of the current dual funding structure of research for Higher Education Institutions. Although impact in its broadest sense extends beyond research, it is most prominently highlighted in the REF as the element that assesses how universities reach out, build relationships, and make a societal difference. It will consider the challenges of impact, the kinds of evidence it demands and the opportunities it presents.1 4
