"Where do you find this "right"?" The dissemin.in website states: 'Many researchers do not use their right to make their papers freely available online, in addition to the paywalled version offered by traditional publishers.' Different publishers (and, for large publishers, different journals of the same publisher) have different archiving rights with regards to what the…

Evolution of scientific communication will need to climb three steps: 1. Universities must provide green open access to their entire research production (Green OA through repositories), making sure it is complete; 2. Universities must cancel all their subscriptions to scientific publications; 3. Universities must contribute to setting up free publicly-run publication platforms and favor open…

Librarian Jeffrey Beall won’t say why he has unpublished his widely read blog.
La NYPL s’engage à son tour dans le mouvement de l’open content et de la diffusion large des ressources numérisées, très en vogue dans les bibliothèques et les musées du monde entier, avec des millions de livres et d’images mises en ligne au cours des dernières années. Cette entrée dans le domaine public des trésors de la collection de la bibliothèque de New York City porte notamment sur « des cartes historiques, illustrations botaniques, manuscrits, photographies uniques, et anciens textes religieux ».

Will universities continue to pursue knowledge for the public good – or will they pursue knowledge only for those who can pay?Will knowledge itself continue to be organised as a public good – one that can be shared widely without being diminished – or will property rights restrict sharing?Will public engagement continue to be basic to how knowledge advances – through publication, debate, error correction and the stimulation of new work – or will intellectual debate be stifled?What sort of future we will have depends on how we respond to changes in how universities are funded, trends in information technology and media, globalisation, competition, and other changes. We need to renew ourselves even while we maintain the excellence to which we have long been committed.

Most papers that are free-to-read are available thanks to “green OA” copies posted in institutional or subject repositories. The fact these copies are available for free is fantastic because anyone can read the research, but it does present a major challenge: given the DOI of a paper, how can we find the open version among many ?

Une conférence de Mr. Bernard Rentier, ancien recteur de l'Université de Liège posera les enjeux de l’accès libre à la production scientifique, notamment les deux voies ouvertes aux chercheurs, la verte et la dorée, en éclairant les difficultés ou impasses persistantes à ce jour, propres à chaque mode de diffusion choisi. Elle présentera notamment les modes d’appropriation de l’archivage des publications par les chercheurs et les doctorants.

Germany’s DEAL project, which includes over 60 major research institutions, has announced that all of its members are canceling their subscriptions to all of Elsevier’s academic and scientific publications. The boycott is in response to Elsevier's refusal to adopt "transparent business models" to "make publications more openly accessible."
