| Congress Unplugged! Set the default to Open Posted: 04 May 2012 08:01 PM PDT Sage Bionetworks Podcasts, (02 May 2012) Use the link above to access the podcast of a presentation made by Heather Joseph, SPARC. The “presentation was part of the Congress Unplugged! event at the 2012 Sage Bionetworks Commons Congress.” A brief description reads as follows: “There is a growing movement to change the lack of taxpayer’s access to scientific research by supporting policies that require all published results to be made available to the public, free, online as soon as possible. This talk will outline actions you can take to get involved and make taxpayer-funded science openly accessible. This presentation was part of the Congress Unplugged! event at the 2012 Sage Bionetworks Commons Congress.” |

| Benefits of Open Access to Scholarly Research to the Public Sector Posted: 04 May 2012 07:43 AM PDT JISC Information Environment Repository, (01 May 2012) From the Introduction: The objective of this project was to synthesise and generate evidence on the benefits that Open Access to scholarly research outputs has generated to the public sector, and to provide case studies of organisations that have realised such benefits. This work is undertaken in response to the Open Access Implementation Group’s requirement to take the outcome of the Houghton report further, and develop a detailed analysis of benefits to public sector organisations (excluding Higher Education.) The total cost to the public sector of accessing journal papers is around £135 million per annum. The direct cost savings that accrue from the availability of Open Access articles (using both Green and Gold routes) amount to £28.6 million (£26 million in access fees and £2.6 million in time savings). |
| Benefits of Open Access to Scholarly Research for Voluntary and Charitable Sector Organisations Posted: 04 May 2012 07:37 AM PDT JISC Information Environment Repository, (01 May 2012) From the Conclusion: We have learned in this study that the voluntary and charitable sector has an appetite and need for scholarly research that it cannot currently satisfy. The organisations contributing to the study have described the importance of research to the voluntary and charitable sector’s commitment to playing its very distinctive role in the most effective way it can. In scoping interviews, case studies and survey responses, VCOs have identified a consistent set of barriers to accessing research. They have shown too that they are creative and resourceful, finding ways to overcome these barriers some of which might place them on or over the border of copyright infringement. We do not think that VCOs should be put in the position of having to choose between what is legally permitted and what they feel is ethically required of them in order to fulfil their charitable objectives. We think too that if the VCS is being asked to expand its role and play an increasing part in delivering public services, then access to research is essential. In this final chapter, we provide some recommendations which, we hope, will go some way to widening the voluntary and charitable sector’s access to scholarly research outputs. |
