| Happy 2012 Open Access Movement! December 31, 2011 Dramatic Growth of Open Access Posted: 31 Dec 2011 07:27 PM PST The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics, (01 Jan 2012) There are over 7,000 peer-reviewed fully open access journals as listed in the DOAJ, still growing by 4 titles per day and over 6,000 of these are in English, as listed by Open J-Gate. Electronic Journals Library keeps track of more than 32,000 free journals. There are over 2,000 repositories, linking to more than 30 million items, growing at the rate of 21 thousand items per day, which can be searched through the snazzy new Bielefeld Academic Search Engine search options. PLoS ONE, having become the world's largest journal last year, outdid themselves by doubling the number of articles published this year. PubMedCentral, arXiv, RePEC, and E-LIS growth was in the 10-15% range for the year. This issue of Dramatic Growth adds a new feature, a first attempt at comparing compliance rates with a few medical funders' open access policies - so far, Wellcome Trust is looking good! |

| National Science Board Seeks Public Comment on Data Policies Report Posted: 31 Dec 2011 12:36 PM PST plus.google.com "The US National Science Board posted this call for comments yesterday (December 30, 2011): "The National Science Board (NSB) seeks comments form [sic] the public on the report from the Committee on Strategy and Budget Task Force on Data Policies, Digital Research Data Sharing and Management. Please send your comments by email to Blane Dahl at the National Science Board Office at bdahl@nsf.gov. Comments are due by close of business January 10, 2012...." Yes, you did the math correctly. We have less than two weeks to write comments. Worse, the call for comments uses an invalid link to the report on which it seeks comments. Thanks to +Cliff Lynch for pointing out the correct link: http://www.nsf.gov/nsb/publications/2011/nsb1124.pdf Supporters of open data should spread the word. And if the NSB really cares for public comments, it should extend the deadline." |
| Digital Research Data Sharing and Management (December 2011) Posted: 31 Dec 2011 12:34 PM PST www.nsf.gov A report from the Task Force on Data Policies, Committee on Strategy and Budget, National Science Board. Excerpt: "The Board is committed to the development, implementation, and assessment of policies that promote efficient management of, and broad access to, digital research data that result from NSF-funded activities. This commitment includes sharing of results, data, physical collections, and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of NSF-funded research. Policies that ensure efficient management and broad access are critically important to NSF as it carries out its mission to promote the progress of science and engineering. The Board, in taking up this topic, strongly encourages NSF to seize the opportunity to exercise national and international leadership to promote sharing and management of digital research data for the benefit of the science and engineering community and society....[Principles:] Investigators are expected to share with other researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the primary data, samples, physical collections and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of work under NSF grants....Investigators and grantees are encouraged to share software and inventions created under the grant....Openness and transparency are critical to continued scientific and engineering progress and to building public trust in the nation’s scientific enterprise. This applies to all materials necessary for verification, replication and interpretation of results and claims, associated with scientific and engineering research....Open Data sharing is closely linked to Open Access publishing and they should be considered in concert. This principle is included because there need to be bidirectional pointers between peerreviewed and other published literature and the available supporting materials...." |
