"At a time when we have the technologies to enable global access to and distributed processing of scientific research and data, legal and technical restrictions are making it difficult to connect the dots. Even when research and data is made public, it's often locked up by regimes or contracts that prohibit changing file formats or languages, integrating data, semantic enrichment, text mining and more. These restrictions sharply limit the impact of published research, and prevent us from exploiting the potential of the Web for accelerating scientific discovery. In the Scholar's Copyright Project, Science Commons develops tools and resources for expanding and enhancing open access (OA) to published research and data. We believe that knowledge-sharing systems and formats based on the paper metaphor block innovation, and that open access is prerequisite for finding new ways to reap the value of the vast amounts of public research now being produced. For details on the resources we offer, continue reading below."

"Though Open Access publication and Creative Commons licensing were not mentioned as issues by the people who participated in the DICE survey, several replies deal with germane issues: see cases THETA-MU in the "Per cominciare..." section of the handbook. The concern about protection expressed in THETA, IOTA and KAPPA is answered in Chapter B [check "B" in final version - calmansi calmansi just now] of this handbook: works such as those mentioned in these replies are automatically protected by copyright law once they have been expressed, and this protection also obtains for works expressed in digital form, and offered online. Open Access publishing and of Creative Commons licensing are particular uses of copyright law. As we shall see in what follows, they can help towards the communal sharing wished for by the author of LAMBDA, and the literature about their implementation can be of use in solving the conundrums of third parties' rights evoked by the author of MU. Open Access The main Swiss higher education authorities have signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access. This is a great progress for research. It also means that all publications by teachers and researchers - and all theses by students - of Swiss academic and higher education institutions must be made available in Open Access repositories, following the rules stated in by the Berlin Declaration: 1. The author(s) and right holder(s) of such contributions grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship (community standards, will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use of the published work, as they do now), as well as the right to make small numbers of printed copies for their personal use. 2. A complete

"A complete version of the work and all supplemental materials, including a copy of the permission as stated above, in an appropriate standard electronic format is deposited (and thus published) in at least one online repository using suitable technical standards (such as the Open Archive definitions) that is supported and maintained by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or other well-established organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted distribution, inter operability, and long-term archiving.

"Dice started its requirement analysis by collecting stories of issues and solutions about digital copyright management. To this purpose, the Fernfachhochschule Schweiz in Brig developed a short online survey."

"Welcome to the Directory of Open Access Journals. This service covers free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals. We aim to cover all subjects and languages. There are now 4640 journals in the directory. Currently 1818 journals are searchable at article level. As of today 348555 articles are included in the DOAJ service. "

"The SNSF already jointly signed the "Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities" with other scientific organisations in Switzerland in 2006. In doing so, it underlined its intention to support the efforts towards establishing Open Access - i.e. free access to scientific publications - in Switzerland."

"Empfehlungen der SAGW an ihre Mitgliedgesellschaften für die Umsetzung von Open Access Die SAGW unterstützt die Umsetzung von Open Access. Sie empfiehlt ihren Mitgliedgesellschaften und den in ihrem Kreis organisierten Forschenden, ihre Publikationen frei zugänglich zu machen. Zu diesem Zweck informiert Sie die Akademie an dieser Stelle über verschiedene Aspekte zu Open Access. Zahlreiche Universitäten verlangen heute, dass deren Angehörige publizierte Artikel auch auf den universitätseigenen Respositorien hinterlegen. Deshalb verfolgt die SAGW das Ziel, dass alle AutorInnen von Periodika, die von der Akademie subventioniert werden, das Recht haben, ihre Artikel Open Access zu publizieren. Sie ersucht deshalb ihre Gesellschaften, bei den Verlagen die entsprechenden Rechte für ihre AutorInnen einzuholen. Individuelle Informationen geben gerne die Sektionsverantwortlichen sowie Martine Stoffel.

"Recommandations de l'ASSH à ses sociétés membres pour la mise en pratique d'Open Access L'ASSH soutient la mise en oeuvre d'Open Access. Elle recommande à ses sociétés membres et aux chercheur-se-s associé-e-s à leur réseau de rendre leurs publications librement consultables. Dans ce but, l'Académie vous informe ici de façon détailée sur les avantages d'Open Access. Aujourd'hui, de nombreuses universités demandent que les articles publiés par leurs membres soient déposés sur leurs propres bases de données digitalisées (Respositorien). C'est pourquoi, l'ASSH poursuit le but que tous les auteur-e-s de périodiques subventionnés par l'ASSH aient le droit de publier leur article en Open Access. De fait elle sollicite les sociétés à interroger les éditeurs sur les droits de leurs auteurs. Pour des informations individuelles, les responsables de sections ainsi que Mme Martine Stoffel se tiennent à votre disposition. "
