- Abstract
This paper describes the current criticisms of academic research collaboration between the US and China and proposes a university-led initiative to address those concerns. The article begins with the assertion that bilateral research collaboration has historically benefitted both countries, citing cooperation in virology as an example. The paper continues with a discussion of the criticisms leveled by several US government agencies against the Chinese government, especially with regard to the Thousand Talents Program (TTP). A close examination of publicly available appointment letters under the TTP suggests that Chinese universities are given wide discretion when it comes to defining the specific terms of scholarly collaboration. Along with additional supporting arguments, the paper concludes that the most significant violations of commonly accepted research norms are owing to the behavior of individual Chinese institutions and are not directed by the TTP or the Chinese national government. The paper then suggests several steps for addressing these issues at the university level, beginning with a convening of campus leaders from both countries.

London School of Economics and Political Science (United Kingdom), Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) and Valero, Anna
- Abstract
This paper summarises the literature that has linked education and economic growth. It begins with an overview of the key concepts in neoclassical and endogenous growth models, and discussion on how these have been tested in the data. Issues with respect to specification, the measurement of human capital and causality are discussed, together with studies that have sought to addresses these. A more recent and growing literature that explores the links between firm level human capital and productivity, including externalities, is then summarised. Beyond studies that link human capital to economic performance directly, there are numerous studies that have explore the relationships between human capital and the determinants of growth including investment, technology adoption and invention. Key findings from this literature are drawn out, together with a summary of the literature that has linked the activities of universities (key producers of both human capital and innovation) to their local economies. The paper concludes with discussion of policy implications stemming from this body of research, and promising areas for future research.

4. 2020 Policy Paper on Public Responsibility, Financing and Governance of Higher Education

European Students' Union (ESU) (Belgium)
- Abstract
This Policy Paper aims at analysing the most important aspects of Public Responsibility, Financing and Governance of Higher Educations while seeking to formulate a students perspective on the state of play within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). In doing so it touches upon the very foundation of how and in which socio-political environment educational systems and higher education institutions work nowadays. The European Students' Union (ESU) believes that open access to all levels of education is the cornerstone of a socially, culturally and democratically inclusive society, and a prerequisite for individual and societal development and well-being. ESU sees higher education as a human right, which is guaranteed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. How education is seen in society, how it is funded and how it is governed are tightly interlinked areas. This policy paper focuses on: (1) Public responsibility of higher education (fundamental values; institutional autonomy and academic freedom; academic integrity; intellectual property; education for sustainable development; human rights and democratic citizenship education; digitalization, artificial intelligence, learning analytics and privacy; commodification; partnerships between higher education institutions and industry; internships; and internationalisation and international trade); (2) Financing of higher education (financing of higher education; the funding gap; optimisation of funding of higher education institutions; performance based funding; and education free of tuition fees); and (3) Governance of higher education (students participation; working conditions of academic staff; committees and ombudsmans and leadership, intersectionality and training).

6. State Disinvestment in Higher Education: The Impact on Public Research Universities' Patent Applications. Working Papers. No. 19-2

Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and Zhao, Bo
- Abstract
While state appropriations are the largest revenue source of the U.S. public university systems, they have declined significantly over the past several decades. Surprisingly, there is little empirical work on the effect of state appropriation cuts on the research productivity of public universities. Helping fill that gap, this paper is the first to examine the role that state appropriations play in public universities' patent production. The results suggest that state appropriation cuts have a negative impact on the number of approved patent applications from public research universities. Lower state appropriations are shown to lead to a reduction in research expenditures, especially wages and salaries paid to research staff.

7. From Paper-Based towards Post-Digital Scholarly Publishing: An Analysis of An Ideological Dilemma and Its Consequences
- Author

Saarti, Jarmo and Tuominen, Kimmo
- Abstract
Introduction: Even though the current publishing model is based on digital dissemination, it still utilizes some of the basic principles of printed culture. Recently a policy emphasis towards open access has been set for publicly funded research. This paper reports on a study of the practices, business models and values linked with scholarly publishing. Method: Conceptual analysis was conducted, drawing on literature on scholarly publishing policies, practices, values and economies, with an emphasis on the structures and conflicts between license-based and open publishing models. Results: Scholarly interests of sharing collide with commercial interests of generating profits. In the digital era, the scientific community might have a third economically viable alternative. This third way is based on what the authors call post-digital scholarly publishing. Conclusion: Science should aim at as complete openness as possible. Scholarly activities advance best when the whole scientific community has access to both publications and research data. What seems to stand in the way of scientific sharing is the global publishing industry in its present form. In the future, post-digital scholarly publishing might provide a means for finding an economically viable way between sharing economy and commercial interests.

- Abstract
This paper documents differences across higher-education courses in the coverage of frontier knowledge. Comparing the text of 1.7M syllabi and 20M academic articles, we construct the "education-innovation gap," a syllabus's relative proximity to old and new knowledge. We show that courses differ greatly in the extent to which they cover frontier knowledge. More selective and better funded schools, and those enrolling socio-economically advantaged students, teach more frontier knowledge. Instructors play a big role in shaping course content; research-active instructors teach more frontier knowledge. Students from schools teaching more frontier knowledge are more likely to complete a PhD, produce more patents, and earn more after graduation.

9. The Undergraduate Research Paper: Teaching Ethical Relationships.
- Author

Haas, Molly Flaherty
- Abstract
In the writing classroom, the instructor appears to be the mediator, recognizing the contributions of each required text and of each student, whether in class discussions or written assignments. Undergraduate college students usually regard mediating in whatever style as the instructor's task, not their own. But in the research paper assignment, the student must mediate. When students become student writers, each must relate with several, even numerous, others at once and also influence those others' relations with each other. A diagram illustrates the complex web of relationships between the student and her teachers, her research sources, her audience and her research participants. Many scholars who look at undergraduate research papers restrict their attention to one aspect of relationships with published sources, the rules for avoiding plagiarism, but this concern alone is not enough. The relationship with other writers also includes the responsibility not to distort or demean the written work of others. Students must also consider a code of ethics in the relationships they form to those that they are researching--their research participants; the student research paper today often involves interviews with sources in person. Finally, the student's relationship to his/her audience usually begins with the teacher. A teacher who is responsible in relating to published sources and caring in mediating among student voices in the classroom can serve as a model. (Contains 36 references.) (TB)

10. Universities, the US High Tech Advantage, and the Process of Globalization. Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.8.2008

University of California, Berkeley, Center for Studies in Higher Education and Douglass, John Aubrey
- Abstract
Research universities throughout the world are part of a larger effort by nation-states to bolster science and technological innovation and compete economically. The US remains highly competitive as a source of High Tech (HT) innovation because of a number of market positions, many the result of long term investments in institutions such as research universities and in R&D funding, and more broadly influenced by a political culture that has tended to support entrepreneurs and risk taking. In essence, the US was the first mover in pursuing the nexus of science and economic policy. The following essay places universities within this larger political and policy environment by discussing market factors that have influenced knowledge accumulation and HT innovation in the US, their current saliency in the face of globalization, and the growing market position of competitors, such as the EU. The paper also provides observations on major US state-based HT initiatives intended to create or sustain Knowledge Based Economic Areas (KBEAs). Thirteen variables are used to assess the overall comparative ability for creating KBEAs, including the vitality of regional and national research universities, patterns of R&D investment, access to venture capital, intellectual property laws, educational attainment levels of the workforce, access and retention of global labor force, and political interest and forms of government support for promoting science and technology. Among the papers conclusions: There is a large disconnect in US policy related to promoting KBEAs and national competitiveness. Few policymakers, or even the higher education community are aware of stagnant and, in some states, real declines in higher education access and graduation rates relative to economic competitors, that the US is no longer a net importer of high tech goods, or that the US is no longer the number one destination for international students. Combined with global changes in the market for S&T talent, and the significant and increasingly successful effort of competitors to increase the educational attainment of their population, the US's HT advantage is eroding--although there remain a number of strengths, chiefly related to an entrepreneurial culture, more conducive tax advantages for business, a cadre of elite research universities, and the highest concentration of venture capital in the world. But even here, these advantages may wane over the next decade as the world becomes more economically, and educationally, competitive. The US generally lacks a broadly conceived strategy for retaining America's high tech advantage. "A Sample of the Frenzy of State Initiatives: 2007" is appended. (Contains 17 figures and 37 notes.)

11. Discussion Paper on Digital Copyright Issues.
- Abstract
The Copyright Forum serves as a venue for the discussion of digital copyright issues of interest to Canadian educational institutions, libraries, archives, and museums. The Forum currently comprises 13 national associations. The members of the participating associations are both creators and users of digital intellectual content, and a number of institutional members act as Internet service providers. The purpose of this discussion paper is to outline the Forum's perspective on major issues that have to be addressed in revising the Copyright Act in order to make it a more effective instrument for achieving public policy objectives in a digital environment. The paper highlights the key issues, sets out a number of principles underlying the Forum's approach, and makes a series of specific recommendations relating to the revision of the Copyright Act. The following core principles form the basis for the Copyright Forum's recommendations: balance in copyright law; primacy of the Copyright Act; technological neutrality; the right to read; the right to lend; a robust public domain; facts are not copyrightable; and privacy.

12. From Ideas to Development: The Determinants of R&D and Patenting. OECD Economics Department Working Papers, No. 457

Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Jaumotte, Florence, and Pain, Nigel
- Abstract
This paper uses panel regressions to investigate the effects of innovation policies and framework factors on business R&D intensity and patenting for a sample of 20 OECD countries over the period 1982- 2001. Both sets of factors are found to matter; the main determinants of innovativeness appear to be the availability of scientists and engineers, research conducted in the public sector (including universities), business-academic links, the degree of product market competition, a high level of financial development and access to foreign inventions. The effect of direct public financial support for business R&D is generally positive but modest, though it may larger for cash-constrained firms. Intellectual property rights appear to increase patenting significantly, but have little impact on R&D spending. Finally, the paper takes a closer look at the labour market for researchers, estimating jointly equations for employment and wages. Although the supply of scientists and engineers is eventually responsive to wage differentials, both with other professions and across countries, the evidence suggests that it may difficult to raise significantly the real amount of domestic R&D in the short run because the supply of researchers is relatively inelastic.

University of California, Berkeley, Center for Studies in Higher Education and Vest, Charles M.
- Abstract
Charles Vest gave the third of three Clark Kerr Lectures on the Role of Higher Education in Society on September 13, 2005 on the Berkeley campus. In public as well as private universities, resources provided by philanthropic individuals and foundations and by corporate research sponsors increasingly support the margin of university excellence, and increase the access of students to that excellence. The congruence of interests, goals, and expectations of philanthropists and corporate sponsors with those of universities must be carefully considered. The values of excellence and access frequently come into conflict as schools decide how to award student financial aid from gifts and endowments on the basis of merit or on the basis of financial need. Despite such interesting and important challenges, the generosity of individuals and foundations and the support of far-sighted corporations and industry consortia are central to maintaining and enhancing America's outstanding system of higher education.

16. Virtualpolitik: Obstacles to Building Virtual Communities in Traditional Institutions of Knowledge. Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.9.05

California Univ., Berkeley. Center for Studies in Higher Education. and Losh, Elizabeth
- Abstract
Digital collaborations are often stymied because institutions of higher education are increasingly divided between two cultures: the culture of knowledge and the culture of information. Campuses primarily remain institutions of knowledge, although practices of information acquisition can no longer be ignored, especially since the advent of networked computing and study with digital texts. Yet the traditional division of labor and the ownership of intellectual property within the academy are threatened by digital collaborations; and the claims of information theory, which is associated with epistemologies of uncertainty and probability, challenge conservative ideologies of university culture. As a result, policies for the development of hybrid instruction and digital archives are often dictated by "Virtualpolitik," or the Realpolitik of virtual institutions, in lieu of a long-term vision for meaningful institutional change. This paper examines four Internet-based initiatives designed to improve cross-campus teaching and learning in California public universities--MERLOT, CPR, UCWRITE, and SPIDER--and argues that effective programs with lasting legacies take advantage of a "bazaar" rather than a "cathedral" development model and incorporate meaningful "information literacy" objectives that go beyond the mastery of particular terms and tools.

Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, Sacramento. and Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, Sacramento.
- Abstract
This is a collected edition of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges adopted papers on technology-related issues. These six papers, written between 1995 and 2000, raise the issues which must be discussed at each college; they also provide suggestions and examples to consider. The most recent of the papers, "Guidelines on Minimum Standards for College Technology," considers the technology necessary for faculty and students to successfully perform different levels of technological enhancements. Two other papers--"Academic Freedom, Privacy, Copyright and Fair Use in a Technological World" and "Technology in Education: a Summary of Practical Policy and Workload Language"--discuss major issues of importance to faculty who are considering the use of technology in the classroom, such as e-mail privacy and intellectual property rights. "Curriculum Committee Review of Distance Learning Courses and Sections" and "Guidelines for Good Practices: Effective Instructor-Student Contact in Distance Learning" examine the evolving Title 5 regulations on distance learning and the responsibilities of the local curriculum committee to ensure integrity. Finally, "Guidelines for Good Practice: Technology Mediated Instruction" explores some of the literature, recommendations, and tools for the effective pedagogical use of technology. Each article contains appendices and references. (NB)

- Abstract
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), through the Education Statistics Services Institute, supported the research in this report to help frame future discussions about the use of video research techniques in educational settings. This paper addresses the context of technological, legal, and ethical change facing researchers who use video in their work, and examines how these influence the research and treatment of research subjects. A synopsis of past governing ethical and legal guidelines in social science research is provided along with an account of recent developments. The process of research planning and risk assessment is examined,including the use of informed consent and permissions. Also included are concerns surrounding the analysis and dissemination of data in networked telecommunications environments, as well as issues of intellectual property ownership. Some key suggestions for how education researchers using video in their work might proceed in this new context are also provided. Although much of what this paper outlines pertains to electronic data of any kind, including alphanumeric data, graphical data, and pictures, the collection and handling of data in each medium takes place within those legal and ethical boundaries that pertain to its particular type. In this paper, legal and ethical issues that pertain to video data are the primary focus. A listing of NCES Working Papers to Date is provided at the end of the document. (Contains 47 references.)

Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Ottawa (Ontario)., Brascoupe, Simon, and Endemann, Karin
- Abstract
Written in English and French, this paper outlines current Canadian intellectual property legislation as it relates to Aboriginal people in Canada, and provides a general review of the implications and limitations of this legislation for protecting the traditional knowledge of Aboriginal people. An initial discussion of Aboriginal perspectives highlights the difference between sacred traditional knowledge, products, and services associated with traditional lifestyles of Aboriginal people, and innovations or new creations of an individual or an Aboriginal company. Not all traditional knowledge is considered to be intellectual property under Canadian law, therefore a web of strategies is suggested to better protect and control traditional Aboriginal knowledge. These strategies include community guidelines for researchers and businesses wanting access to traditional knowledge, codes of conduct, statutory options, and legal agreements and contracts. A section on intellectual property protection of Indigenous knowledge describes ownership, nature of rights, criteria for protection, scope of protection, duration, costs, enforcement, and international protection. A section on intellectual property rules applicable to Aboriginal contexts discusses copyrights, neighboring rights, industrial designs, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, plant breeders' rights, integrated circuit topographies, and licensing intellectual property. The conclusion points out the need for new techniques and laws that are more appropriate for protecting Aboriginal traditional knowledge and recommends educating non-Aboriginals to increase respect and understanding for Aboriginal traditional knowledge. Information sources presented include 17 federal, international, general, and Aboriginal Internet sources; 11 organizations; and 20 references. (TD)

Ontario Inst. for Studies in Education, Toronto. New Approaches to Lifelong Learning. and Pitawanakwat, Joyce
- Abstract
Traditional Ojibway education is currently being delivered by eight First Nations communities on Manitoulin Island and the north shore of Lake Huron, in Ontario. Integration into the formal school system, with the exception of language programs, is not formally established. Elders and traditional teachers are only invited by individual teachers. Integration of the formal education system into the traditional Ojibway system also takes place, through field trips, albeit to a limited extent. Cultural knowledge is transmitted via one-to-one transmission, home-based learning, talking circles, community cultural events, workshops and conferences, and traditional Ojibway institution-based learning. Traditional educational approaches are profoundly different from those of the mainstream educational system. Wholistic (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional) growth and development of the person, experiential learning, oral tradition, and student-centeredness are key elements of the traditional approach. Further, and of vital importance, is the fact that education is grounded in spirituality. Western mainstream education has a narrower scope in that it emphasizes intellectual development to the exclusion of other dimensions. There are a number of concerns related to integrating informal Native education into the formal education system. These include research methodologies utilized; protection of cultural and intellectual property rights; and recognition of traditional indigenous knowledge, traditional teachers, and elders.

American Council of Learned Societies, New York, NY. and Bennett, Douglas C.
- Abstract
New digital technologies will allow long-standing missions of learned societies to be performed in new ways. Modern learned societies are national networks of scholars and educators with professional interests in a single field or discipline. This document discusses functions of learned societies including: identity (formal recognition for one's field of study as well as individual professional identity for members); information sharing and communication among members; scholarly publications; and professional services (directories of members, job listings, and guides to graduate study). Other topics include: the context of disconnection among scholars in higher education; the changing roles of learned societies in a digital age; and roles for the American Council of Learned Societies. Critical issues identified for assuring optimal usage of connections made more easily with digital technology are: quality and integrity; common formats and standards; preservation; intellectual property; and academic freedom. Learned societies are well-positioned to use new technology to contribute to significant changes underway in the world of scholarship and higher education involving internationalization, interdisciplinarity, and interactive learning.

- Abstract
This essay examines the future directions of university education in Europe, focusing on technology and the information revolution as the driving forces behind educational change. Whereas the mission of universities in the past was to accumulate, refine, and pass on knowledge, their new task is to educate and train people to manage and gain access to the universal data base of knowledge. Universities need to offer more options to their students, encourage broad rather than specialized education at the undergraduate level, and utilize new teaching methods, such as distance learning via interactive computer connection, to keep abreast of the explosion of knowledge and the rapid changes that societies are undergoing. The pioneering work of the British Open University in the use of distance learning and computer technology are discussed. The debate over student choice and intellectual property rights is also examined. (MDM)

25. Montessori's Flawed Diffusion Model: An American Montessori Diffusion Philosophy. Occasional Paper. Series One.

Princeton Center for Teacher Education, NJ. and Rambusch, Nancy McCormick
- Abstract
This paper contends that Maria Montessori had a negative effect on the diffusion of the Montessori method in the United States. Throughout her life, Montessori held to the belief that her thoughts and their expression remained her exclusive intellectual property. She therefore tried to exert as much control as possible over the training of teachers in her methods and the establishment of Montessori schools. The main flaw of this approach was that teachers versed in her method were invited to see themselves as independent contractors, not as teachers working with other educators in the community. After the second World War, Nancy McCormick Rambush and a number of educators in the United States who admired Montessori's educational methods but not her restrictive personal control established an American Montessori movement. This American Montessori movement supported: (1) the critical role of parents as first teachers; (2) American Montessori education as a plurality of possibilities, not as a single orthodox iteration of Maria Montessori's thought; and (3) a reevaluation of the process of transmitting Montessori's message, in which insights on the Montessori method in America are seen as coming from those who receive the massage, not those who send it.

- Abstract
This paper studies the effects of university STEM education on innovation and labor market outcomes by exploiting a change in enrollment requirements in Italian STEM majors. University-level scientific education had two direct effects on the development of patents by students who had acquired a STEM degree. First, the policy changed the direction of their innovation. Second, it allowed these individuals to reach top positions within firms and be more involved in the innovation process. STEM degrees, however, also changed occupational sorting. Some higher-achieving individuals used STEM degrees to enter jobs that required university-level education, but did not focus on patenting.

30. Moving from Plagiarism Police to Integrity Coaches: Assisting Novice Students in Understanding the Relationship between Research and Ownership
- Author

Vaccino-Salvadore, Silvia and Hall Buck, Rachel
- Abstract
Much of the discourse surrounding plagiarism is one of fear--a fear of being caught and punished, but many plagiarism examples happen unintentionally as students struggle with a new language, new ideas, and new communities in tertiary education. Specifically, many students are challenged with the task of writing a research paper, which involves finding academic sources, reading those sources to answer a research question, and integrating direct quotations and paraphrasing. Because novice writers often struggle with these skills, what is a developmental stage is instead interpreted as plagiarism. Much of the discussion of plagiarism involves implicit and explicit definitions of ownership, but there is little research about how students understand the concept of ownership in relation to ideas and language. In this qualitative study, we present data from 18 international students at an American-style university in the Middle East who write an introductory research paper as part of a composition course. Results show that perceptions of plagiarism changed in relation to owning ideas, owning language, and owning time spent on the research process and that distinguishing these boundaries is often difficult for students even within their own final research papers. We suggest teaching more robust note-taking strategies, discussing ownership in terms of a writer's choices in guiding readers through the paper, and creating an environment where students can understand the complexities of plagiarism rather than simply fearing being caught.

This document is a modified LL.M. exam paper on Private International Law that presents a problem question involving a dispute between an Austrian company, M, and S, a Nigerian student studying in Berlin. The question asks the reader to determine the applicable law to the dispute, which is brought before the court in Vienna. The model answer analyzes the character of M's claims and discusses the potential application of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the Rome I Regulation. It concludes that the choice of Austrian law is valid and that the rules on consumer protection in the Rome I Regulation may apply. The text also discusses the applicable laws for a contractual claim and a non-contractual claim between M and S. For the contractual claim, Austrian law applies, except for the issue of a tariff change, which is governed by German law. For the non-contractual claim regarding an alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, both Austrian and German law may apply, and the specific laws governing each claim will determine the assessment of compensation.

34. Plagiarism in the Community College Classroom
- Author

McCarter, William and Murphy, Michael
- Abstract
Plagiarism is an unfortunate but often inevitable byproduct of human discourse. It may have begun with one enviable cave drawing being copied onto another cave wall--without attribution. Ironically, and probably just as inevitably, the modern classroom serves as a kind of breeding ground or incubator for this ancient, murky form of theft. A 2011 study by Pew Research confirms this regrettable truth and implies that the so-called digital revolution is only making things worse (Parker). Empirical observations from over three decades in the classroom suggest that students plagiarize for a variety of reasons. Some students, sadly, are simply dishonest and lazy, and they steal because it seems easy and painless. Some students are not initially present for an education; instead they want a piece of paper that will create opportunity in their lives. Other students do not understand the ramifications of misusing words or ideas because they have never produced intellectual property of their own. In addition, many students do not understand the potential consequences of plagiarism, nor do they understand how easily it can be detected and confirmed. Another significant factor is that students fear the actual documentation process and find it an unfamiliar, overly intricate burden. And a final, delicate issue is often the assignment itself: questionably long research paper assignments that are unconnected to a student's interests or knowledge base are sometimes a catalyst for intellectual thievery. This article touches upon each of these student types and concludes that like so many other issues in education, the most effective remedy to plagiarism is quality, relevant instruction, and that quality and relevance should be grounded in the simple dichotomy of why and how.

38. Sustaining High Growth Through Innovation: Reforming the R&D and Education Systems in Korea. OECD Economics Department Working Papers No. 470

Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Baek, Yongchun, and Jones, Randall
- Abstract
With inputs of labour and capital slowing, sustaining high growth rates in Korea will increasingly depend on total factor productivity gains, which are in turn driven to a large extent by innovation. While a number of Korean firms are at the world technology frontier in areas such as ICT, the diffusion of technology to lagging sectors is a priority to sustain growth. This paper recommends policies to improve the science and technology system by upgrading the R&D framework, in part through closer linkages between firms, universities and the government, and enhanced intellectual property right protection. Strengthened competition, particularly in the service sector, is needed to promote the diffusion of new technologies. Innovation also requires policies to ensure the supply of high-quality human capital through reforms of tertiary education. This requires a restructuring of the university system through increased competition and deregulation, as well as additional financial resources to improve quality. This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of Korea (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/korea). (A bibliography is included. Contains 34 footnotes, 12 figures, 5 boxes and 4 tables.)

Academic scholarly communication is the predominant business of researchers, scientists, and scholars. It is the core element of promoting scientific thought, investigation, and building up solid knowledge. The development of preprint platform web interfaces, server repositories of electronic scholarly papers submitted by their authors and openly available to the scientific community proposed a new form of academic communication. The distribution of a preprint of a scientific manuscript allows the authors to claim the priority of discovery, in a manner similar to the conference proceedings output, but also creates an anteriority that prevents protection by a patent application. Herein, we review the scope and the role of preprint papers platforms in academia, we explore individual cases, arXiv, SSRN, OSF Preprints, HAL, bioRxiv, EconStor, RePEc, PhilArchive, Research Square, viXra, Cryptology ePrint Archive, Preprints.org, ChinaXiv, medRxiv, JMIR Preprints, Authorea, ChemRxiv, engrXiv, e-LiS, SciELO, PsyArXiv, F1000 Research, and Zenodo, and discuss their significance in promoting scientific discovery, the potential risks of scientific integrity, as well as the policies of data distribution and intellectual property rights, the plus and minus, for the stakeholders, authors, institutions, states, scientific journals, scientific community, and the public. In this review we explore the scope and policies of the existing preprint papers platforms in different academic research fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development
- Abstract
This conference, jointly organised by OECD's Department for Science, Technology and Industry and the Italian Ministry for Innovation and Technology, was attended by approximately 350 representatives from industry, academia and government. Rapporteurs presented summaries in terms of issues and areas where there was agreement and/or convergence among presentations and participant interventions and areas where there was disagreement and/or divergence. Points of agreement include: (1) Today's participatory culture is of users rather than consumers with increased generational differences in usage; (2) Goal of business-model neutrality; and (3) There is a high speed of change in the sector, led by the availability of broad-band enabling digital content provision with a significant decline of (access) prices. Points of divergence include: (1) Balance of intellectual property rights (IPR); (2) Role of governments versus markets; (3) Digital Rights Management (DRM); and (4) Policy challenges and need for international harmonisation.

- Abstract
Using sample student analyses of online paper mill Web sites, student survey responses, and existing scholarship on plagiarism, authorship, and intellectual property, this article examines how the consumerist rhetoric of the online paper mills construes academic writing as a commodity for sale, and why such rhetoric appeals to students in first-year composition, whose cultural disconnect from the academic system of authorship increasingly leads them to patronize these sites.

Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Criscuolo, Chiara, and Martin, Ralf
- Abstract
The main objective of this Working Paper is to show a set of indicators on the knowledge-based economy for China, mainly compiled from databases within EAS, although data from databases maintained by other parts of the OECD are included as well. These indicators are put in context by comparison with data for the United States, Japan and the EU (or the G7 countries in case no EU totals are available) and data for some of the Asian neighbours of China (Korea, Singapore, Chinese Taipei and Hong Kong) where data for these countries were readily available. This document draws heavily on the Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard, copying many of the indicators presented there and borrowing a substantial amount of contextual and methodological explanations. After listing the main outcomes of this study, the paper starts with a section on the economic structure of China and the other economies, followed by a set of trade indicators, showing the opening up of China's economy and the growing importance of trade in high-technology products. Two indicators of foreign investment in China are examined: foreign affiliates and foreign direct investment. Recognizing the importance of human resources to a knowledge-based economy, a range of human resources indicators is presented. Final sections present indicators on R&D (as one of the inputs to the innovation process), and patents (as one of the outputs). A statistical annex brings together a selection of tables of the main indicators shown in the document. OECD database information is also annexed. (A bibliography is included. Contains 11 footnotes, 60 figures, 5 boxes and 26 tables.)

Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Igami, Masatsura, and Okazaki, Teruo
- Abstract
This analysis aims at capturing current inventive activities in nanotechnologies based on the analysis of patent applications to the European Patent Office (EPO). Reported findings include: (1) Nanotechnology is a multifaceted technology, currently consisting of a set of technologies on the nanometre scale rather than a single technological field; (2) Most nanotechnologies, especially those related to Electronics and Optoelectronics, are seemingly realised by a top-down process, where nano-structures are developed through the improvement or advancement of existing technologies; (3) Another group of nanotechnologies, developed by a bottom-up process, has been particularly intense in the past decade, fuelled by scientific discoveries such as carbon nanotubes and fullerenes; and (4) Nanotechnology not only covers a wide range of technologies, but also underpins the development of many fields. Apart from a temporary stagnation in the early 1990s, nanotechnology patent applications to the EPO have been increasing since the 1980s, with the United States, the European Union and Japan having almost equal shares. Higher education and government sectors are an important source of knowledge in nanotechnology. The current development of nanotechnology relies strongly on existing technologies and accumulated scientific knowledge. (Contains 21 footnotes, 26 figures, 1 box and 6 tables.)

47. The Role of Private Trade and Technical Schools in a Comprehensive Human Development System: Implications for Research and Development. Occasional Paper No. 53.
- Author

Ohio State Univ., Columbus. National Center for Research in Vocational Education. and Tolbert, Jack F.
- Abstract
Proprietary schools represent a growing segment of the total educational effort of this country and one which often has been misunderstood by the public education community. While greater cooperation is desirable between proprietary trade schools and non-proprietary schools providing similar job training, the prejudice of traditional educators toward vocational education for profit and the proprietor's desire to protect his investment are barriers to such cooperative efforts. Proprietary schools are currently in a growth period, primarily due to increasing enrollments and a growing reluctance on the part of states to increase funding for public postsecondary education. Although the tremendous growth of private trade schools in the early sixties brought with it certain abuses, the development of strong trade associations, including the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools (NATTS), helped proprietary schools in the seventies build a solid reputation for ethically-run, quality programs which have a high rate of success in terms of job placement. The Medix School's success depends largely on an effective mix of student recruitment, the education process, job placement, and institution management. Few studies have been conducted of private career schools or their students; this appears to be an unmet need in vocational research and development. Perhaps there is a model or method that can combine the effective features of proprietary schools and the public sector which offer students a better learning opportunity. (Answers to questions from the audience of education research and development personnel are included.) (MEK)

- Abstract
The first half of the proceedings consists of three papers presented during the program session of a Library of Congress Network Advisory Committee (NAC) meeting. The first, a background paper by Robert L. Oakley, identifies some of the problems that modern information technology has created for the intellectual property system in the United States; reviews several alternative proposals for dealing with the problems; briefly examines the ways in which Canada and the United States have approached the same issues; and concludes that these problems are solvable through amendment, new "sui generis" approaches, and expanded roles for an administrative agency, or through the development of voluntary or compulsory licensing mechanisms. In the second paper, Shirley Echelman comments on issues raised by Robert Oakley's report, and summarizes presentations given at a previous program session. The third paper, by Robert J. Kost, interprets an Office of Technology Assessment report about intellectual property rights and explains why the marriage between the law and technology is currently "on the rocks." The second half of the proceedings is a report on the business session of the NAC. Appendixes include the meeting agenda; a list of working groups; criteria for membership in the NAC; a list of suggested and prioritized topics for future research on networking; and a statement from the American Library Association on the phone companies' open network architecture plans filed with the Federal Communications Commission and a request for input on these plans from libraries.
