I am thrilled to be writing 2018’s Year-End Editorial for CJSDW/R. One of the (many) benefits to working on an ongoing open access journal is that the editorial occurs after the volume is complete. This allows for a review of the year that considers how the published pieces connect to one another. This year we published a piece from the University of Toronto featuring a trialogue on editing pluriligual scholars’ work at the graduate level between James Corcoran, Antoinette Gagné, and Megan McIntosh. Their conversation argues for “flexible, targeted writing support that challenges narrow epistemologies and stale ideologies regarding taboo editing practices of academic and language literacy brokers involved in the production and revision of thesis writing” (p. 1). This piece really frames the two special sections produced this year in our journal which both take on the question of writing in the university, challenging the conventional practices and arguing for flexible and creative solutions.

The Lister Symposium was held primarily to review the latest concepts of the mechanisms of bacterial infections, and to highlight the research being carried out currently in Toronto and in Canada. The inclusion of several speakers from outside of Toronto added a strong foundation for the meeting.A wide range of topics were addressed and these demonstrated the many areas of research being pursued to better understand the pathogenesis of microbial infections. By drawing together physicians, scientists, and students from a variety of disciplines, it was hoped that the Lister Symposium would contribute, not only to our knowledge of medicine and science in this field, but also to the continued local and national cooperation required for first-class investigative research.This meeting was the first of its kind held under the auspices of the Department of Surgery at the University of Toronto, demonstrating its commitment to research and interdepartmental collaboration. We are most grateful to Professor Bernard Langer, Chairman of the Department of Surgery, for his support in this regard. The assistance of our sponsors and the Continuing Medical Education Office facilitated a wide outreach and enabled recognition of the course and accreditation for Canadian and American Medical participants. It is hoped that this material will provide a useful reference for future developments in the field.

There is an urgent need for engineers to participate more fully in debate and decision-making to address the many challenges, local, national and global, that society faces. Engineering education provides graduates with technical competence but there are relatively few engineering programs that directly address development of leadership capability. At the University of Toronto, we have been developing leadership education since 2002 and presently offer wide-ranging curricular and co-curricular programming through Engineering Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT). Leadership can be defined as “a relational and ethical process of people together attempting to accomplish positive change”. Adding leadership capability to an engineer creates a powerful combined capability. A leader-engineer has the capability to leverage and empower engineering competence with leadership competence.

New Phase

C.I.M is on-line. This issue marks the beginning of a new phase of publication for the journal: CIM is now available only on-line. Over its 30 year existence, CIM has been published in several formats and by different agencies. In recent years, CIM was owned and published by CMA as one of its associate journals. In 2004, CSCI purchased CIM and ownership reverted to the society. Since then, CIM has been type-set and formatted in-house and printed and distributed by University of Toronto Press (UTP) and, as in interim measure, the journal was available on the CSCI web-site. This process was threatened by the sale of UTP's off-set Printing Division. Links have now been established between CSCI, CIM and the University of Toronto Library to make use of the U of T Open Journal Access initiative to develop sophisticated on-line distribution. The Library supports journals via the Open Journal System (OJS) management software as well as providing archiving facilities. CIM will remain a subscription journal but, in the spirit of open access, all content will be freely available after a six month publication delay. Access will also be made available to all Canadian Universities via their library websites and authors will have immediate access for submitted articles.

Located in Lyon, France, the Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University is home to 30 000 students in law, management and humanities, around 600 academic staff and 18 research units. A dedicated research support team was implemented within the University library in 2015, to promote open access to their results. In 2017, answering to requests expressed by researchers to be helped in their online publishing, the library launched an in-house incubator for open access journals in social sciences and humanities. Staff from the research units was offered an open access standard-compliant publishing platform, technical and editorial assistance, training for publications, and program to have the backlog of issues addressed.The journal incubator raison d’être is to allow the University’s research to be available on an open access basis, to reinforce good open access journal publishing practices among research units and to improve the overall visibility of the research produced by Jean Moulin Lyon 3 researchers. The project quickly gathered momentum: two other higher educational institutions have approached the library to see if they could publish on the platform, thus expanding its role beyond the limits of its parent institution. The project played an instrumental role in forming, in late 2018, a network of French incubators and publishing platforms in social sciences and humanities. Named REPÈRES, the network promotes sharing good practices among public-funded open access publishers. The Jean Moulin Lyon 3 library project is a contribution to bibliodiversity since it supports an open access model and the use of vernacular languages (French in the case at hand). The project also reinforces the intertwining of academic and library staff for the common goal of scientific publishing. Thus, the library becomes a full participant of the scientific process.

Acta Didactica Norge ble etablert som fritt tilgjengelig tidsskrift for fagdidaktikk og lærerutdanning på nivå 1 i 2007 etter initiativ fra Institutt for lærerutdanning og skoleforskning ved Universitetet i Oslo.  Det var det første norske tidsskriftet som tok i bruk tidsskrifts- og publiseringssystemet Open Journal Systems. I denne artikkelen trekkes det opp noen linjer i tidsskriftets tiårige historie fra etableringen i 2007 gjennom tre faser: oppstart, konsolidering og ekspansjon.  Tidsskriftet er i dag et tidsskrift på publiseringstjenesten FRITT – frie tidsskrifter fra UiO. Det tar verken abonnements- eller publiseringsavgift. Tidsskriftet har hatt en kraftig vekst i antall artikler fra starten til i dag, og et høyt antall nedlastinger tyder på at det når ut til en stor leserskare. Acta Didactica Norge 2007 - 2017AbstractIn 2007 Acta Didactica Norge, an open-access, level 1 journal for subject didactics and teacher education, was established at the initiative of the Department of Teacher Education and School Research, the University of Oslo.  It was the first Norwegian journal to use the Open Journal Systems for online journals. This article provides an overview of the first ten years, through the start-up, consolidation, and expansion phases. Today Acta Didactica Norge is one of Oslo University’s FRITT journals, which does not require subscription or publication fees.  FRITT is an Open Access journal publishing service hosted by the University Library. During the last ten years the journal has had a dramatic increase in submitted and published articles and a high number of downloads give evidence of a wide readership.

This paper evolved, maybe ‘was birthed’ is an even better term given the circumstances, out of an engagement process that brought Gordon Shawanda and several university students together over an academic year. Gordon was invited to attend my Aboriginal Spirituality class at the University of Toronto in September 2009. He liked being there so much that he came each week, sitting through lectures, reading the materials, and participating with unerring grace in the many discussions over the entire year. We were all touched by his presence, his quiet dignity, and his deep interest in our academic learning and sharing experience. Gordon embodies what modern education is trying to get right, the bringing together of theory and practice, and the unveiling of the kind of humanity that can bring Indigenous Knowledge alive for all young people everywhere. Gordon was inspired by their enthusiastic receiving of his words to write down his story. This paper is his first real attempt to express the pain and healing he has experienced over his adulthood. I am honoured and humbled to (gently) edit this work for publication. This is a story that comes directly from the heart and soul of one man, but is the lived experience of many of our people who attended Indian Residential Schools in Canada. It is organized into four parts.

Abstract Context.—The sellar region is the site of frequent pathology. The pituitary is affected by a large number of pathologic entities arising from the gland itself and from adjacent anatomical structures including brain, blood vessels, nerves, and meninges. The surgical pathology of this area requires the accurate characterization of primary adenohypophysial tumors, craniopharyngiomas, neurologic neoplasms, germ cell tumors, hematologic malignancies, and metastases as well as nonneoplastic lesions such as cysts, hyperplasias, and inflammatory disorders. Objective.—To provide a practical approach to the diagnosis of pituitary specimens. Data Sources.—Literature review and primary material from the University of Toronto. Conclusions.—The initial examination requires routine hematoxylin-eosin to establish whether the lesion is a primary adenohypophysial proliferation or one of the many other types of pathology that occur in this area. The most common lesions resected surgically are pituitary adenomas. These are evaluated with a number of special stains and immunohistochemical markers that are now available to accurately classify these tumors. The complex subclassification of pituitary adenomas is now recognized to reflect specific clinical features and genetic alterations that predict targeted therapies for patients with pituitary disorders.
