| New EPSRC Open Access Mandate (UK) Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:18 AM PDT The policy requires that all published EPSRC-funded research articles submitted for publication from 1 September 2011 must be made available on an Open Access basis... through one of two main routes: Gold Open Access (pay-to-publish) – peer-reviewed papers published in fully Open Access journals which do not charge subscription fees, or in ‘hybrid’ subscription journals which enable free access to ‘pre-paid’ articles. Subject to certain criteria the publishing fees may be met from direct or indirect costs on EPSRC Research Grants. Green Open Access – research is published in traditional subscription journals and authors self-archive their papers (as accepted for publication) in a digital online repository. |

| Cornell Chronicle: The arXiv at 20: a global resource Posted: 03 Oct 2011 05:58 PM PDT www.news.cornell.edu "As the e-print arXiv of scientific publications celebrates its 20th anniversary, what started as an effort to "level the playing field" for researchers has created a whole new playing field on which the white lines are still not clearly drawn....As of September 2011, the system had accumulated more than 700,000 papers, with more than 6,000 new submissions arriving each month; in 2010 65 million full-text articles were downloaded...." |
| Really, what has Princeton done? Posted: 03 Oct 2011 05:55 PM PDT Scholarly Communications @ Duke, (30 Sep 2011) "Earlier today I received an inquiry about the Princeton policy from a colleague at another university. To what degree, he asked, is this similar to the university simply claiming that scholarly articles are work made for hire? My answer, of course, was that these policies are the very opposite of an institutional claim of work for hire. If that were done, in fact, no such license would be necessary. But these policies are founded on faculty ownership and express the desire of a faculty, as copyright owners, to manage their rights in a more socially and personally beneficial way. It is important to note that the open access policies now in place at a couple of dozen U.S. institutions have all been adopted by the faculties themselves; they decided to grant a non-exclusive license to the university, which, again, they could not do except as copyright owners. Probably the most important fact about these policies, indeed, is that they represent an assertion of authorial control. We so often hear publishers and others in the content industry talk about protecting copyright, by which they usually mean the rights they hold by assignment from a creator, that it is salutary to remind academics that they own copyright in their scholarship from the moment their original expression is fixed in tangible form. Transferring those rights to a publisher is one option they have, and it has become a tradition. But it is only one option, and the tradition is beginning to be questioned....Open access policies are not, at their root, either “land grabs” by institutions or acts of defiance aimed at publishers. They are simply a recognition of the fact that authors are the initial owners of copyright, and they express a desire by those owners to manage their rights intentionally and in a way that most clearly benefits the goals of scholarship...." |
| New EPSRC policy on access to research outputs Posted: 03 Oct 2011 05:53 PM PDT "EPSRC has introduced a new policy on access to research outputs....The policy requires that all published EPSRC-funded research articles submitted for publication from 1 September 2011 must be made available on an Open Access basis. Importantly, the policy leaves researchers free to publish in the journal most suited to the subject of their research. It is expected that publications will be made Open Access through one of two main routes: [1] Gold Open Access (pay-to-publish) – peer-reviewed papers published in fully Open Access journals which do not charge subscription fees, or in ‘hybrid’ subscription journals which enable free access to ‘pre-paid’ articles. Subject to certain criteria the publishing fees may be met from direct or indirect costs on EPSRC Research Grants. [2] Green Open Access – research is published in traditional subscription journals and authors self-archive their papers (as accepted for publication) in a digital online repository. Publications will preferably be openly accessible from the date of publication. However, the current prevalence of embargo periods means this may not be a realistic option in some areas of engineering and physical sciences research. EPSRC therefore encourages authors to publish within the shortest embargo period attainable commensurate with ensuring their work achieves maximum impact...." |
