| Washington Declaration on Intellectual Property and the Public Interest Posted: 09 Sep 2011 05:53 AM PDT infojustice.org "Copyrights and patents are time-limited rights because the public interest requires that creative and innovative works ultimately become free for all to use as part of the public domain. The public domain serves as a foundation of cultural heritage and scientific knowledge from which future creators and inventors necessarily draw. A group of related civil society movements has emerged to promote the benefits of the public domain or openness, including through open licensing, open access, open educational resources, open data, open standards, open government, and related open information policies...." |
| Don't Over-Reach: Grasp First What Is Already Within Immediate Reach Posted: 08 Sep 2011 08:44 PM PDT Open Access Archivangelism, (08 Sep 2011) First grasp what is already within reach -- by mandating green open access self-archiving -- rather than holding out for even more, thereby letting the unreachable Best get in the way of reaching the reachable Better. |
| Self-Archive Institutionally, Harvest Centrally Posted: 08 Sep 2011 08:41 PM PDT Open Access Archivangelism, (08 Sep 2011) Institutional and funder mandates need to be collaborative and convergent, not competitive and divergent, as some (including NIH's) are now. And the convergence needs to be on institution-internal deposit, followed by central harvesting (e.g. to PMC) where desired -- certainly not the reverse. |

| Public Availability of Published Research Data in High-Impact Journals Posted: 08 Sep 2011 12:01 PM PDT PLoS ONE 6 (9), e24357 (2011) Abstract: There is increasing interest to make primary data from published research publicly available. We aimed to assess the current status of making research data available in highly-cited journals across the scientific literature....We reviewed the first 10 original research papers of 2009 published in the 50 original research journals with the highest impact factor. For each journal we documented the policies related to public availability and sharing of data. Of the 50 journals, 44 (88%) had a statement in their instructions to authors related to public availability and sharing of data. However, there was wide variation in journal requirements, ranging from requiring the sharing of all primary data related to the research to just including a statement in the published manuscript that data can be available on request. Of the 500 assessed papers, 149 (30%) were not subject to any data availability policy. Of the remaining 351 papers that were covered by some data availability policy, 208 papers (59%) did not fully adhere to the data availability instructions of the journals they were published in, most commonly (73%) by not publicly depositing microarray data. The other 143 papers that adhered to the data availability instructions did so by publicly depositing only the specific data type as required, making a statement of willingness to share, or actually sharing all the primary data. Overall, only 47 papers (9%) deposited full primary raw data online. None of the 149 papers not subject to data availability policies made their full primary data publicly available....A substantial proportion of original research papers published in high-impact journals are either not subject to any data availability policies, or do not adhere to the data availability instructions in their respective journals. This empiric evaluation highlights opportunities for improvement. |
| New evidence suggests that Au.sediba is the best candidate for the genus Homo Posted: 08 Sep 2011 11:49 AM PDT www.eurekalert.org "A series of five papers based on new evidence pertaining to various aspects of the anatomy of the species Australopithecus sediba (announced in April 2010 by Berger et al), will appear in the prestigious journal Science on Friday, 9 September 2011....Given the open access policy of the team, sediba is already one of the best studied hominin species yet discovered...." |

| Universities flee Access Copyright - CUP Newswire Posted: 08 Sep 2011 08:20 AM PDT cupwire.ca "In the wake of a proposed fee increase, universities across Canada have opted to leave contracts with once-popular copyright licenser Access Copyright. Many schools, including York University, the University of British Columbia and almost every school in the prairie region have abandoned their contracts with Access Copyright in favour of steering the waters of copyright legislation on their own....“If you take in open access materials, increasingly it’s apparent that Access Copyright doesn’t offer that much,” explained [University of Ottawa law professor and Toronto Star columnist Michael Geist]. “Much of their use is covered through other mechanisms, as well as fair dealing.”..." |
