The author's English-language abstract: "Open Access has already become an interesting target for publishers like Springer or Wiley. Due to the fact that there are more and more Open Access articles published the publishers will have to act and deal with the new conditions. There already are loads of different business models for Open Access. The following thesis will show the current state of these models, how these models may develop and take a closer look at the business models of some publishers." |
| UK: £750,000 boost for turning ideas into business reality Posted: 10 Mar 2012 08:17 AM PST 7thspace.com "Winning projects come from areas such as healthcare and computer games design to intellectual property valuation and social enterprise, with one notable winner being the University of the West of England´s (UWE) "Bloodhound@University" project which received £80,000 in funding from the Intellectual Property Office.

| MIT Faculty Articles Downloaded Worldwide Through Open Access Policy Posted: 10 Mar 2012 06:31 AM PST MIT Libraries News, (09 Mar 2012) "Three years ago this month, the MIT Faculty established an Open Access Policy, through which their scholarly articles are made openly available on the web. The faculty’s goal was to “disseminat[e] the fruits of its research and scholarship as widely as possible.” This goal is being met: downloads from the Open Access Articles Collection, which houses papers under the Policy, have been initiated from nearly every country in the world....Only one-third of use originated in the United States, and while the top 20 countries account for 85% of the use (including China, India, the UK, Germany, and the Republic of Korea), downloads are widespread. Russia and Brazil each account for about 1% of the use....This news is reported as we mark the third anniversary (on March 18) of the faculty’s precedent-setting policy, the first university-wide faculty policy of its kind in the United States." |

(I’m heartened to say that the tide is beginning to turn on this, with researcher boycotts and a shift from librarians calling foul to faculty doing so. The emphasis on Elsevier alone at this point is probably unjust, even if hugely symbolic, but my feeling is that we see in the current grassroots boycott a case where the crucial constituency, who have previously been silent and therefore assumed to give lazy consent, are finally speaking up. And just in the nick of time, because the Research Works Act is on its way. (Note: at the time of the publication of this transcript – "Ding, dong, the witch is dead!" – at least temporarily.) ..." |
