The strategy of CHORUS is to try to take the power to provide OA out of the hands of researchers so that publishers gain control over both the timetable and the insfrastructure for providing OA.

The Wellcome Trust today announces that it is to extend its open access policy to include all scholarly monographs and book chapters written by its grantholders as part of their Trust-funded research. The extended policy will become effective for holders of grants awarded after 1 October 2013, and for existing grantholders from October 2014. The new policy does not apply to textbooks, 'trade' books, general reference works or works of fiction, or to collections edited but not authored by Trust grantholders. It would not affect, for example, a non-fiction work written by a medical historian aimed at a general audience and published by a commercial publisher.

"L'atlas sur les moustiques" a été mis en ligne en 2012 afin de comprendre la propagation des espèces de moustiques sur le territoire allemand. Cette initiative doit permettre de cartographier les populations de moustiques grâce à plus de 15.000 citoyens allemands enregistrés et participants activement à l'effort de recherche. Ceux-ci effectuent chaque été des prélèvements de moustique à différents stade de développement, puis ils soumettent ces échantillons au Centre Leibniz pour la recherche agricole (ZALF) ainsi qu'à l'Institut Friedrich-Loeffler (FLI), institut fédéral de recherche sur la santé animale. Dès la première année, les chercheurs ont reçu plus de 6000 échantillons à analyser, et 2013 devrait compter encore davantage de prélèvements. Via Florence Piron

A group of research funding organizations from around the world today put its weight behind open access (OA) to the scientific literature but stopped short of making concrete policy recommendations for its members...
Bernard Rentier's insight:
It is unfortunate that the funders stopped in mid stream. Open access is an all-or-nothing process. Preserving business models is detrimental to Research funding and should not be the funders' worry.
