| Value and benefits of text mining Posted: 14 Mar 2012 06:39 AM PDT "Current UK copyright restrictions, however, mean that most text mining in UKFHE is based on Open Access documents or bespoke arrangements. This means that the availability of material for text mining is limited....In exploring issues of market failure and equity in relation to text mining, it appeared that similar fundamental issues (in particular the matter of equity in terms of 'who pays and who gains') may be relevant to the overall debate surrounding Open Access to scholarly outputs....As several consultees highlighted, ...most text mining is limited to exploring Open Access documents where no additional charges are incurred....Even where text mining is allowed within publisher contracts, licensing terms that require the full attribution of derivative works developed in the text mining process can effectively prevent text mining usage. For example, the Open Access publisher BioMed has such a licence, allowing text mining and the production of derivative works, provided the relevant attribution is made. However, where text mining is used to identify new knowledge derived from cross-article analysis of patterns, it is effectively impossible to identify all relevant attributions that contributed to the new derived knowledge. This therefore means that such text mining cannot be undertaken...." |
| Posted: 13 Mar 2012 01:25 PM PDT www.arma.ac.uk The UK Association of Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA), the Association for University Research and Industry Links (AURIL), and PraxisUnico released a major Statement of Support for Open Access to Research Results and Data (March 2012). Excerpt: "[1] The three associations wish to record their support for Open Access as a means of enabling wide access to research results, which will lead to the productive use of those results in both academic and non-academic settings....[3] We believe that Open Access can potentially support innovation and the inventive process, helping to generate a faster translation of research into practice. [4] We believe that Open Access is entirely consistent with intellectual property (IP) protection....[6] We support easy identification of and access to the data underpinning research results, to enable replication and data mining....[8] We believe that research management, assessment and evaluation are easier if research outputs are openly available, as this promotes innovation and competition within and between research organisations....[9] Commitment to Open Access needs to be tempered with both technical and economic reality....At a time of pressure on resources, the ability of funders, institutions, and researchers to provide Open Access will need to be balanced against other priorities, notwithstanding the highly desirable outcomes that Open Access may offer. We support efforts involving all stakeholders working together to produce sustainable solutions...." http://www.arma.ac.uk/files/guest/Information/ARMA-PraxisUnico-AURILOAStatementMarch2012.pdf |
