Report on Enhancing Interoperability between existing Open Access Publication Infrastructures :

« The practical approach of eco4r is likely to be a living example for interoperability between existing Open Access publication infrastructures that fits into the Semantic
Web. One important starting point of the eco4r project is the quantitative and
qualitative analysis of materials residing in the source repositories. »

Google Book Search, Creative Commons und Open Access – Neue Formen der Wissensvermittlung in der digitalen Welt? :

« Google betreibt seit 2004 flächendeckend die Retrodigitalisierung von Büchern. Kreative Köpfe entwickeln ein vereinfachtes Lizenzmodell, um eine größere Verbreitung
ihrer Werke im Internet durch teilweisen Verzicht auf strikte Eigentumsstrukturen zu erreichen. Zugleich gewinnt in den letzten Jahren eine breite Diskussion um die freie Verfügbarkeit von wissenschaftlichen Forschungsergebnissen an Fahrt. Diesen Themen gemeinsam ist, dass erst das Internet die technische Voraussetzung für ubiquitären Zugang bei minimalen Transaktionskosten und damit die Grundlage für derart dynamische Prozesse geliefert hat. Andererseits unterscheiden sich die Phänomene deutlich im Hinblick auf das Zusammenwirken der Akteure: Während Google nicht nach dem Einverständnis der betroffenen Autoren und Verlage fragt und sich dadurch weithin den Vorwurf des Kulturimperialismus gefallen lassen muss, geht die Creative Commons-Bewegung von der freiwilligen Zusammenarbeit der Beteiligten aus; dazwischen steht der Open Access-Ansatz, dessen Verfechter nicht
nur auf unverbindliche Appelle setzen, sondern unterschiedliche wirtschaftliche wie rechtliche Hebel ansetzen möchten, um Autoren und Verlage zur Kooperation zu bewegen. Die gemeinsame Klammer dieser Formen der Wissensvermittlung im digitalen Zeitalter ist das Urheberrecht. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt die verschiedenen Initiativen vor und versucht Querverbindungen und Unterschiede aufzuzeigen. »

Open access and academic reputation :

« Open access aims to make knowledge freely available to those who would make use of it. High-profile open access journals, such as those published by PLoS (Public Library of Science), have been able to demonstrate the viability of this model for increasing an author’s reach and reputation within scholarly communication through the use of such bibliographic tools as the Journal Impact Factor, conceived and developed by Eugene Garfield. This article considers the various approaches that authors, journals, and funding agencies are taking toward open access, as well as its effect on reputation for authors and, more widely, for journals and the research enterprise itself. »

Almost Halfway There: an Analysis of the Open Access Behaviors of Academic Librarians :

« Academic librarians are increasingly expected to advocate for scholarly communications reforms such as open access to scholarly publications, yet librarians do not always practice what they preach. Previous research examined librarian attitudes toward open access, whereas this article presents results of a study of open access publishing and self-archiving behaviors of academic librarians. Following an analysis of open access to library and information science literature in
2008, several strategies to encourage academic librarians to continue embrace open access
behaviors are discussed. »

Open to All? Case studies of openness in research :

« Since the early 1990s, the open access movement has promoted the concept of openness in relationto scientific research. Focusing initially upon the records of science in the form of the text of articles in scholarly journals, interest has broadened in the last decade to include a much wider range of materials produced by researchers. At the same time, concepts of openness and access have also developed to include various kinds of use, by machines as well as humans.
Academic bodies, including funders and groups of researchers, have set out statements in support
of various levels of openness in research. Such statements often focus upon two key dimensions:
what is made open, and how; and to whom is it made open, and under what conditions? This study
set out to consider the practice of six research groups from a range of disciplines in order to better
understand how principles of openness are translated into practice. »

Handling Repository-Related Interoperability Issues: the SONEX Workgroup

Sharing of scholarly content through a network of Open Access repositories is becoming commonplace but there is still need for systematic attention into ways to increase the rate of deposit into, and transfer of content across, the OA repository space. This is a report of the work of a small international group, supported by JISC, with remit to describe, analyse and make recommendations on deposit opportunities and use cases that might provide a framework for project activity geared to the ingest of research papers and other scholarly works.

The multi-authored, multi-institutional work is put forward as the default, and nine use case actors are listed, as deposit agents, with four main use case scenarios. There is also some comment and pointers to projects in Europe which address some of these use case scenarios.
