| Resolution in Support of Open Access and Authors’ Rights Posted: 13 Dec 2011 06:15 AM PST www.pacificu.edu "The University Council of Pacific University, a governance body composed of representatives from the undergraduate and graduate student bodies, the faculty and the staff and administration, voted unanimously in support of a resolution that encourages more open and accessible scholarly practices. The resolution had previously been approved by the Faculty Senate (November 2011). Through its inclusion of student and staff voices, the University Council's action represents a unique contribution to the growing number of statements and policies in support of open access to scholarship." <http://goo.gl/iEMRl> From the resolution itself: "RESOLVED, that...the faculty, staff and students of Pacific University...should consider these options when deciding how to share their work: [1] depositing their own published scholarly and professional articles in CommonKnowledge [the institutional repository] or other open access repositories in order to provide the widest and most affordable access to their work; and [2] using CommonKnowledge to openly share, as deemed appropriate by their department or school, other forms of unpublished scholarly, creative or professional work; and [3] using an Addendum to Publication Agreement (such as that provided by the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC)) in order to retain their right to share their published work as widely as possible; ..." |
| Open Access for Federally Funded Research Posted: 13 Dec 2011 05:40 AM PST Graduate Professional Council, (11 Dec 2011) "The Graduate Professional Council recently passed a resolution in support of Open Access for federally funded research in response to the United States Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) request for information on public access to scholarly research. Policies in favor Open Access would make research that is paid for by federally funded tax dollars available to the public, at no additional cost, once results are published. GPC will be providing the OSTP with a response on behalf of the graduate and professional student body of MU. Individuals are being asked to submit personal responses to the OSTP as well. To assist with writing those responses we have created a document that contains links to resources on Open Access and also the format for the responses. If Open Access to federally funded research is important to you, we ask that you take the time to write and submit a response...." |
| Self-Selection and the Citation Advantage of Open Access Articles Posted: 12 Dec 2011 01:28 PM PST Online Information Review 36 (1), (2012) From the Abstract: This research examines the relationship between the open access availability of journal papers in anthropology and their citation conditions. We apply a statistical logistic regression model to explore this relationship, and compare two groups of papers – those published in high-ranked journals and those in low-ranked journals, based on journal impact factor – to examine the likelihood that open access status is correlated to scholarly impact. The results reveal that open access papers in general receive more citations. Moreover this research finds that 1) papers in high-ranked journals do not have a higher open access rate, and 2) papers in lower-ranked journals have a greater rate of citations if they are freely accessible. The findings are contrary to the existing theory that the higher citation rate of open access papers is caused by authors posting their best papers online. |
