"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.

"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.

"The March 31, 2010 issue of the Dramatic Growth of Open Access is now available. Highlights: DOAJ is now at 4,863 journals, having added a net total of 864 journals in the past year for a DOAJ growth rate of over 2 titles per day. The Bielefeld Academic Search Engine now searches over 23 million documents; this is an increase of over 1.2 million in the last quarter, or over 13,000 documents per day. There are now more than 200 open access mandate policies listed in ROARMAP, with strong growth in every category. Compliance with the U.S. National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy is 62% - still not 100%, but definitely getting closer. In the past year,120 more journals began contributing all content as open access to PubMedCentral. There are now more than 5,000 journals around the world using Open Journal Systems (OJS). "

"Open Education Resources (OER) just got a big boost this weekend. Long time OER champion Dr. Catherine Casserly was just elected yesterday to the Board of Directors of Creative Commons to help provide further direction for the Open Education Resources movement worldwide. 2010-02-01-Casseerly4.jpg For those of you who never heard of OER, let me explain. In brief, OER is high quality learning materials that are freely available for use, remixing and redistribution; the name was first adopted by UNESCO in 2002. The push to further develop OER comes at a critical time when schools nationwide are seeking ways to improve learning. Creative Commons (CC) plays a major role in the OER movement as it provides the legal structure for sharing creative works and making them available for others to build upon and share. The CC organization has six licenses that allow creators to share their works easily."

"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."

To this end, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has issued provisions on Open access to scientific publications of projects sponsored by the SNSF. The provisions leave researchers the freedom to choose how to implement them."

"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. "

"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."

"Science Commons designs strategies and tools for faster, more efficient Web-enabled scientific research - Primary Focus: o Making scientific research "re-useful" - We develop and promote policy and tools to help people and organizations open and mark their research and data sets for reuse. As part of this work, we released an "open data" protocol to enable the global scientific community to pool and use data created under different legal regimes. o Enabling "one-click" access to research tools - We offer a suite of standardized contracts to bring the efficiencies and economies of scale from e-commerce to the world of scientific tools, so researchers can easily replicate, verify, and extend research. o Integrating fragmented information sources - We help researchers find, analyze, and use data from disparate sources by marking and integrating the information with a common, computer-readable language."

The project will create open content electronic textbooks that will be freely available from a website. Distribution will also be possible via paper, CD, or DVD. ...The goal is to make textbooks available to the many who cannot afford them. ... The Global Text Project is funded by the Jacobs Foundation.
