| Budget concerns restrict research - Queen's Journal Mobile Posted: 25 Oct 2011 07:37 AM PDT queensjournal.ca "Due to budget restrictions, the University hasn’t subscribed to every scholarly journal requested by faculty and students. The decision limits research and studies conducted at the University, says Sam Kalb, the scholarly communication services co-ordinator for the Queen’s Library System. During Open Access Week — which runs until Sunday — the Library promotes a system whereby scholars submit their work for free into an online database...." |
| A&M libraries promote use of Open Access journals - The Battalion - Texas A&M Posted: 25 Oct 2011 07:09 AM PDT www.thebatt.com "The use of Open Access journals could have a significant impact on student fees. In addition to requiring that authors transfer all their copyrights away, publishers collect heavy tolls from high prices on textbooks and journal subscriptions, said outreach librarian Gail Clement with Texas A&M University Libraries. Clement said that the $1 per year increase in the library student fee just covers inflation on journal and database subscriptions. "If more journals were open access, and more of our faculty contributed to open access journals rather than commercially published journals, perhaps the publishers would not have the gall to keep increasing their subscription prices so much every year," Clement said. With Open Access, readers can download articles for free, and without having to deal with copyright issues....Free, pre-stamped postcards for students to send to faculty to ask them to submit their work to Open Access journals will be available at the Open Access Café information booth...." |

| ACM opens another hole in the paywall Posted: 25 Oct 2011 04:38 AM PDT freedom-to-tinker.com "The ACM has not removed the author's right to self-post copies of the articles, but clearly the publisher wants to discourage that, and to be the only source for content. Furthermore, authors can use this only if they buy in to the ACM's "Author Profile" page, a feature that ACM has been pushing but that I suspect most authors don't bother with. It's an interesting strategy to capture links, or to reduce the number of copies floating around outside the control of the ACM archive. Whether it works may depend, in part, on how difficult it is for authors to use. I suspect most authors won't bother, but if you want to see some Author-Ized links in action, click here and then click on "A Theory of Indirection via Approximation." (I can't link directly from this article, because the ACM permits this service from only one Web address.) Unlike some newspapers, which are suffering badly in the Internet age, major nonprofit scholarly publishers such as the ACM are in good financial health, with a diverse array of activities and revenue sources: membership dues, conferences, refereed journals, magazines, paid job-advertisement web sites, and so on. Still, there is a lot of experimentation about how to survive as a publisher in the 21st century, and this appears to be the latest experiment...." |

| Open Access Week @National Documentation Centre/NHRF: Workshop in a box! Posted: 25 Oct 2011 02:31 AM PDT www.openaccess.gr On occasion of the International Open Access Week 2011 (24-30 October 2011) the National Documentation Centre (EKT) offers to librarians and specialists in Information Science a ‘workshop in a box', a series of modular powerpoint presentations that can be used in educating researchers about Open Access. The ‘workshop in a box' was developed by EKT in collaboration with Leiden University Libraries, the State and University Library Denmark and SPARC Europe, whose initiative it is. |
| Open access to research is a must for the competitiveness of Europe Posted: 24 Oct 2011 06:53 PM PDT groups.google.com "The EU Commissioner for Europe’s Digital Agenda, Neelie Kroes, this morning gave the starting signal for the Dutch contribution to the annual international Open Access week. In a video message on the www.surf.nl/open2011 website, Ms Kroes says that open access to research results – both publications and research data – is not just a luxury. She sees Open Access as a must for the Netherlands and Europe if they are to be able to compete internationally...." |
| Patient advocacy groups turn to open-access publishing to advance research quest Posted: 24 Oct 2011 06:52 PM PDT groups.google.com "Pat Furlong founded Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) in 1995 to link families, like hers, who had been affected by muscular dystrophy with both resources and hope. Now, Furlong has blazed a new trail in the fight to end the disease. She has spearheaded a partnership between PPMD and the Public Library of Science (PLoS) to launch an open-access publication, PLoS Currents: Muscular Dystrophy, this month. The story of the partnership is told in a new article released today by the Alliance for Taxpayer Access. PLoS Currents: Muscular Dystrophy is a new forum that will promote the rapid exchange of information, hypotheses and experimental results related to the rare disease. Compared to a traditional journal, the PLoS Currents publication process is compressed....For families, the new online journal will give them access to the latest information to help them make the most informed choices in treatment for their children, says Furlong, whose two sons died from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy as teenagers. The project will also link scientists and, hopefully, lead to new advances. “I think we waste too much time, effort and money not learning from studies that didn’t produce positive results,” says Furlong. “I think this really will help the community and our goal for Duchenne is to accelerate wherever and whenever we can. We felt PLoS offered significant opportunity to accelerate.” Furlong thinks other patient advocacy groups will likely follow the lead of PPMD and look to online journals to exchange information more quickly...." |

| Open Access Pledge | Making and tracking open access pledges Posted: 24 Oct 2011 06:39 PM PDT www.openaccesspledge.com "I pledge to devote most of my reviewing and editing efforts to manuscripts destined for open access. For other manuscripts, I will restrict myself to one review by me for each review obtained for me by an outlet that is not open access. Here, manuscripts destined for open access mean those that the authors or journal post on institutional or university repositories, or those that are made open access by the publisher within 12 months. Because I believe that access to publicly funded research should be free, I will also support open access in other ways...." |
| Opening access with peer reviewing pledges Posted: 24 Oct 2011 06:38 PM PDT Ceptional, (24 Oct 2011) "Unwillingness to sign on to a categorical pledge of no reviewing for closed journals is something I’ve heard from many colleagues, including several long-time open science advocates that I’ve been communicating with about the issues over the last few months. I’ve come to share two of their objections: [the hypocrite objection and the green road objection, both of which can be addressed by revising the pledge]....I set up openaccesspledge.com, but didn’t try to promote it much, as I thought (as suggested by Mike Taylor) we might instead do some sort of multiple-choice pledge, but that would require some php programming that’s beyond me (any volunteers?), and I’m not sure it’s the best course. In the meantime we’ve collected more than 14 signatures- if you want to take the pledge, please sign...." |

Preferably immediately after the publication has been accepted, but no later than the official publication date. What material should be openly accessible? All publications are available within the Academy. Outside the Academy, the following exceptions are possible: (1) The publisher does not approve open access. The researcher retains the correspondence with the publisher. (2) The management of the institute chooses a publisher that applies a longer embargo period. When should material be made openly accessible? Preferably immediately after it has been accepted. An embargo of at most eighteen months after publication is possible (determined by the management of the institute)...." |
