| Estimating the True Costs of Gold Open Access Publishing Posted: 20 Mar 2012 06:21 AM PDT openaccess.eprints.org Many estimates have been made of the true costs of Gold Open Access (OA) publishing (e.g., by Claudio Aspesi, in the discussion of Richard Poynder's recent article), but the estimates are rather arbitrary and unrealistic if the other causal factors that could raise or lower them are not taken into account. The two most important causal factors are (1) Green OA and (2) institutions' subscription budgets... |

| Advising Faculty on Law Journal Publication Agreements Posted: 19 Mar 2012 02:42 PM PDT Social Science Research Network (SSRN), (14 Mar 2012) In Academic Law Libraries Special Interest Section (ALL-SIS) Newsletter, Vol. 31, No. 2, pp. 3-4, 11-12, Winter 2012. Abstract: One of the primary areas of service for academic librarians is faculty support, and one of faculty‘s primary goals is to publish law journal articles. Librarians provide a lot of assistance in the pre-submission phase of an article‘s development — crafting searches, retrieving sources, and compiling statistics. We also help journal staff with cite-checking after an article has been submitted and accepted. An additional service librarians can offer faculty is reviewing journal publication agreements when articles are accepted. |

From the Introduction: In September 2005, the Digital Repositories for the National University "Kyiv Mohyla Academy" (eKMAIR) project was established to undertake an options appraisal for a digital repository. The goal was to support access to the various knowledge products of the university, including learning objects, research outputs and corporate records. With the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in mind, in January 2006, the EKMAIR project team recommended the implementation of an institutional repository for research outputs such as journal articles and theses. The university executive approved funding for a two-year project to start in August 2006, and this became the Kyiv Mohyla Academy Intellectual Repository and E-theses (WIRE) project. As WIRE approaches its first birthday, we have been reflecting on our experience of establishing an institutional repository using a hosted service, and on the challenges and the benefits being reaped by the university and its researchers. |
| Trends from the Canadian IR/ETD survey 2012 Posted: 19 Mar 2012 02:31 PM PDT UVicSpace, University of Victoria, Canada, (12 Mar 2012) Abstract: The purpose of the 2012 Canadian IR/ETD Survey was two-fold. The first was to show the growth of Institutional Repositories (IRs) across Canada. The second was to illustrate the state of the electronic theses and dissertations (ETD) submission programs at Canadian institutions granting graduate degrees, where a thesis or dissertation is a requirement for graduation. |
| Posted: 19 Mar 2012 11:48 AM PDT The Scholarly Kitchen, (19 Mar 2012) "As an aside, I should mention that data-mining gives a different meaning to the term “disintermediation.” We always are hearing that the Internet will disintermediate publishers or that the Internet will disintermediate libraries. But data-mining disintermediates authors, not publishers; the algorithm does the creative work. And as we increasingly move to the “Internet of things,” where machines are connected to the Internet expressly to communicate with other machines, we are disintermediating readers as well. So perhaps this is another scenario: publishing by machines for machines. I wonder who does the peer review and whether the NIH will demand that these new publications be deposited in an open access repository...." |
| The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics: Is the purpose of scholarship private profits? Posted: 19 Mar 2012 11:37 AM PDT poeticeconomics.blogspot.ca Correspondence relating to the RCUK new draft OA policy. Suggests that we should challenge, not accept, the underlying assumption of increasing corporatization of the university. |
| Digitised Manuscripts to Europeana - DM2E Posted: 19 Mar 2012 07:21 AM PDT dm2e.eu "DM2E [Digitised Manuscripts to European] is a European Commission funded project that aims to technically enable as many content providers as possible to integrate their content into Europeana. The project will develop a tool that converts metadata from a diverse range of source formats into the Europeana Data Model (EDM). This is an essential part of enabling libraries, archives and museums to provide data to Europeana as traditionally they provide data in diverse formats that need to be mapped on to a single model. The project will involve a number of cultural heritage institutions from around Europe who will supply openly licensed meta data (put out under CC-0 in accordance with the Europeana Data Exchange Agreement) upon which the technical work can be done...." |
