But he thinks its importance is growing....Make sure all participants have timely and open access to data and that the processes for collecting and sharing information are transparent, Hik says. “You don’t have to all agree on the interpretation, but at least you’re using shared and common information.” Ensuring access to data and other research products doesn't mean merely posting data online. The inputs and outputs of your research need to be accessible to people who don't have advanced scientific training and applicable to the needs of the community. “It’s important to realize that you can’t just send a photocopy of your research paper or your thesis. It’s a different document with a different audience and probably with different content,” [David] Hik says...." |
| Author’s Guild Seeks Partial Judgment on Hathi Trust’s Fair Use Posted: 09 Mar 2012 06:31 AM PST Library Journal, (07 Mar 2012) "In the ongoing litigation between the Hathi Trust and the Author’s Guild over the Trust’s book digitization in partnership with Google, the Guild filed for partial judgment on the pleadings on February 28. In essence, the Guild claimed that the Trust and five of its 60 member libraries and institutions are infringing because some of their book digitization activities “are wildly exceeding” those defined in section 108 of the 1976 Copyright Act. (Despite the involvement of Google, this case is separate from the Guild’s long-running lawsuit against Google Books.) But while the Hathi Trust has not yet filed its response, library advocates are already contesting the Guild’s assertion on several grounds, including the “savings clause” of section 108, which explicitly states that nothing in section 108 “in any way affects the right of fair use as provided by section 107.” James Grimmelmann, associate professor, New York Law School said in his blog, “The only way the Authors Guild can get around the enormously high factual burden facing it at this procedural stage is to make a purely legal argument: that failure to comply with Section 108 categorically prevents reliance on fair use, across the board, no factual questions asked. But here, even its own sources betray it.” The 1983 Copyright Office report cited by the Guild says that fair use is “often”, but not “always”, unavailable as a defense...." |

| Stanford professors spin off company to support free online courses | Inside Higher Ed Posted: 08 Mar 2012 12:05 PM PST www.insidehighered.com "Google artificial-intelligence guru Sebastian Thrun made a splash last month when he left Stanford University to start a company based on an A.I. course he made freely available last fall to tens of thousands of students on the Web. Now, two of Thrun's former Stanford colleagues who conducted similar experiments have spun off their own free online courses into a for-profit venture...." |

| Posted: 08 Mar 2012 07:16 AM PST The Scientist, (08 Mar 2012) "On March 6, four papers were published in the open access journal mBio offering a range of perspectives on whether the strains of H5N1 bird flu that are transmissible in ferrets should be published and studied. The strains have been the focus of debate since September, when word of the transmissible viruses first emerged. In December, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) recommended that certain parts of the research, slated to be published in Nature and Science, be redacted—and 3 dozen researchers agreed. But after the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that the research should be published in full last month, the NSABB decided to give it a second look, reopening debate...." |
