Regardless of multiple efforts carried out across many countries to disseminate the ideas and the practice of open science, most scholars in the early 2020s do not self-archive their research articles and do not publish research papers in preprint form. Having received no education and training on open science, researchers are often puzzled on what to do, in practice, to start reaping the benefits of open science. This study offers a succinct vademecum on how to benefit from the open science approach to scholarly communication, no matter whether in natural or in humanistic and social sciences.

The EC H2020 cluster project SSHOC aims to provide a full-fledged Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud where data, tools, and training are available and accessible for users of SSH data. The focus of the project is determined by the goal to further the innovation of infrastructural support for digital scholarship, to stimulate multidisciplinary collaboration across the various subfields of SSH and beyond, and to increase the potential for societal impact. The intention is to create a European open cloud ecosystem for social sciences and humanities, consisting of an infrastructural and human component. SSHOC will encourage secure environments for sharing and using sensitive and confidential data. It will contribute to the Open Science agenda and realization of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), as well as contribute to innovations stemming from the coupling of heterogeneous data types and work on the Interoperability principle of FAIR.

The Evidence-Based Scholarly Communication Conference (EBSCC) was held March 11-12, 2010 in Albuquerque, NM. The conference addressed the perceived gap in knowledge and training for scholarly communication principles in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program. The EBSCC brought together librarians and information specialists to share evidence -based strategies for developing effective local scholarly communication support and training and, it is hoped, to form new coalitions to address this topic at the local and national levels. This brief communication summarizes the need for the conference, highlights the general sessions in order of presentation, and introduces the EBSCC research papers appearing in this issue of Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP). It also includes a description of a unique peer-review process methodology pioneered at EBSCC.

Preprints are regularly cited in peer reviewed journal articles, books and conference paper. Are preprint citations somehow less important than citations to peer reviewed research papers? This study investigates citation patterns between 2017 and 2020 for preprints published in three preprint servers, one specializing in biology (bioRxiv), one in chemistry (ChemRxiv), and another hosting preprints in all disciplines (Research Square). As evaluation of scholarship continues to largely rely on citation-based metrics, this analysis and its outcomes will be useful to inform new research-based education in today’s scholarly communication.

This special issue of the Journal of Vocational, Adult and Continuing Education and Training (JOVACET) presents a collection of research papers on adult learners’ access to learning opportunities in post-school education and training (PSET). It was prompted by a conference entitled, Access, barriers to participation and success for adult learners: Rethinking equity and social justice in post-school education, held in Cape Town on 24–25 November 2018, where early versions of the articles featured were presented.

The quality of education and training is determined by many factors including the quality of human resources, especially teaching staff. They do not only play the role of teachers, experts in the field of expertise, but also are advisors, lecturers who are also leaders in renovating the curriculum and teaching methodology to meet educational goals of the University and the society, etc. However, in addition to the achievements in human resource development, the quality of the teaching staff remains inadequate, failing to meet the needs of the University and the society in the context of globalization. Therefore, to overcome the limitations and improve the quality of education and training, it is urgent to need specific and comprehensive solutions to improve the quality of lecturers at higher education institutions in general and at USSH, VNU-HCM in particular. Therefore, in this article, the author presents: 1/ Some difficulties and limitations in improving the quality of teaching staff at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City; and 2/ Proposing some solutions to improve the quality of USSH lecturers to contribute to improving the quality of education and training to meet the needs of international integration in the current period.

It is a great pleasure to welcome this letter by eleven prominent researchers of the field of phonetics who open a very important discussion that touches a crucial aspect of open science: open data. The main point presented by this letter is that "journals publishing original research articles about phonetics decide that archiving of primary data is now a prerequisite for submissions" by understanding that availability of data is a point related to "the same activity that results in the publication of research papers".
