| AN OPEN ACCESS MANDATE IN ICELAND Posted: 23 Mar 2012 07:05 AM PDT An Open Access mandate in Iceland ScieCom Info 8 (1), (2012) "Recently Bifröst University became the first higher education institution in Iceland to adopt an Open Access mandate....The mandate, which is closely modelled on similar ones passed by for instance Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and by the Harvard Law School, was then taken up by the Bifrost University Council, which gave it a status as a university wide policy. Below is a rough translation of the text....? Bifröst University is a fairly small institution, even by Icelandic standards; the process of reaching an agreement is perhaps not as long winding as in larger organizations. Nevertheless, it took some discussion to reach an agreement, and the focus that helped in the discussions at Biföst were: 1) keeping the message simple; 2) the use of exemplary institutions abroad as a reference; 3) the benefit of being early adopters in your area; 4) the idea of Open Access as a public good, and 5) emphasize the opt out available in exceptional cases....The next part of the mandate [faculty will make their work OA "either by publishing in open access research journals or by depositing them in a research repository"] differs from the Harvard one. With the mention of Open Access journals in the Bifröst mandate, the emphasis is on the University’s commitment to OA publishing..." |
| The Effect of Open Access upon Citation Impact Posted: 22 Mar 2012 05:49 PM PDT Editors' Update, Elsevier.com, (22 Mar 2012) Does Open Access publishing increase citation rates? From a methodological point of view, the debate focuses on biases, control groups, sampling, and the degree to which conclusions from case studies can be generalized. This note does not give a complete overview of studies that were published during the past decade but highlights key events. An extended version of this paper will be published |

| Tireless Ad Hoc Critiques of OA Study After OA Study: Will Wishful Thinking Ever Cease? Posted: 22 Mar 2012 01:24 PM PDT Open Access Archivangelism, (22 Mar 2012) No study based on samples and statistical significance-testing has the force of an unassailable mathematical proof. But how many studies showing that OA articles are downloaded and cited more have to be published before the ad hoc critiques (many funded and promoted by an industry that has something of an interest in the outcome!) and the hopeful special pleading tire of the chase?
