| NPG's annual letter to customers (September 21, 2011) Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:23 PM PDT www.nature.com "Open access has been at the heart of NPG’s expansion for the last two years, as we seek to avoid adding further stress to library budgets. Of the five new journals we have launched in 2011, four have been open access. Perhaps the most significant of these launches has been Scientific Reports, our multidisciplinary open access journal covering all of the natural sciences. In addition, in the past year we have introduced open access options on 19 further journals. Of the 74 NPG journals that publish research, 51 now have an open access option or are fully open access, and open access options are available on 92% (49 of 53) of our academic and society journal portfolio. NPG offers authors a choice of Creative Commons licenses for open access papers. We now make an annual donation to Creative Commons of $20 for every article processing charge (APC) paid for publication in all the journals owned by NPG with an open access option. We have also back-dated these payments to every APC we received from 2005, when we started offering open access publishing options, to 2010. Many of our academic and society journal partners are also considering joining us in this initiative. This financial support is part of our commitment to openness and reuse and the legal framework behind them. While supporting open access, we remain convinced that there is a diverse future for journal publishing. Our open access position statement, published in January 2011, sets out NPG's views...." |
| Imagined Anthropological Communities (that’s right: another post about publishing & open access) Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:19 PM PDT Savage Minds, (24 Sep 2011) "Benedict Anderson’s* classic text “Imagined Communities” happens to be a pretty fascinating book to read while thinking about academia, communication, open access, publishing, and the formation of community. Anderson’s argument is that print capitalism provided a critical medium that facilitated the production of national identities.... What borders surround these imagined anthropological communities? What allows people in, and what keeps them out? More importantly, what purpose is served by these borders and boundaries, and why are they upheld? Our use of media (print, visual, etc) is one key factor, and this is why I am so fascinated by the recent discussions about open access and publishing in anthropology..." |

| How Google could help the Open Access world a little Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:03 PM PDT WoW! Wouter on the Web, (24 Sep 2011) "Consider the idea that Google Scholar had an API. If we could query that API on the basis of the DOI or PMID or ISSN in combination with volume, issue and pages or any other combination of standard bibliographic metadata. Yes, something like an openURL. And GoogleScholar would only return the correct Google Scholar ID for that article...we could construct various links. Linking to the Google Scholar document cluster is one. Retrieving the Google Scholar citations is another...." |

As we get closer to Open Access Week I’m preparing for a faculty workshop we’re planning at my library, and am beginning to read about encouraging experiments with open access textbooks and other curricular materials by librarians and faculty. Is your library working on an open access curriculum project with faculty? Please share your thoughts and lessons learned below." |

The agreement, which data providers and aggregators will transition to by the end of 2011, authorizes Europeana to release the metadata for millions of cultural works into the public domain using the CC0 public domain dedication. All metadata for cultural works accessible via the Europeana portal, including previously-delivered metadata, will then be available for free and open re-use. Additionally, the new agreement requires data providers to make best efforts to correctly identify content that is public domain as being public domain...." |
| The Laboratorium: The Procedural Swamp Posted: 26 Sep 2011 02:55 PM PDT laboratorium.net "I admit that I am baffled by the Authors Guild suit against HathiTrust and its members. Even if you are unconvinced by the particulars of the libraries’ potential defenses, this case faces massive procedural obstacles. True, it doesn’t have the class-action messes of the suit against Google. But it also has serious problems not present in the Google suit — some of them of the Authors Guild’s own making...." |

| Posted: 26 Sep 2011 01:21 PM PDT www.ip-watch.org "On 7 September, Professor Thomas Pogge addressed the Annual Conference of the Human Development and Capabilities Association (HDCA) and presented his Health Impact Fund (HIF) proposal. It was an inspiring and provocative lecture about one of the greatest injustices of our times – poverty related deaths. We find much merit in the proposal as a practical remedy to this global injustice, but also some concerns. We raise here for discussion issues of distribution, intellectual property rights, and alliances....There is, however, no objection made by the HIF proposal to the very high profits for healthcare innovations or any acknowledgement of health as a public good. As such, the proposal indirectly condones pharmaceutical practices of profiting from ill health and effectively undermines efforts to encourage open access to knowledge and innovation in the area of health (more on this below)...." |
