Leif Hansen her fra CBS Bibliotek har i julenummeret af ScieCom Info (2009, vol. 5, nr. 4) en artikel om open access på CBS:

Greater access to scholarly publications from Copenhagen Business School – The CBS Open Access Policy 2009 (5 s./pdf)

Abstract
I juni 2009 vedtog Copenhagen Business School en open access politik. Det er en forpligtende politik, der omfatter fagfællebedømte tidsskriftsartikler og konferencebidrag. Politikken er dog samtidig omhyggelig med ikke at skabe ugennemtrængelige barrierer for at publicere i “;toll access”; tidsskrifter. Sigtet er at fremme open access til forskning fra CBS ikke at forhindre publicering.
Denne artikel fokuserer på de erfaringer vi har høstet under processen med at formulere politikken og de erfaringer vi hidtil haft fået med implementeringen. CBS Bibliotek har spillet en aktiv rolle i forløbet, og det ses på CBS som en naturlig ting, at biblioteket er den drivende kraft i processen.

Open Repositories 2010 — “The Grand Integration Challenge”

Konferencens hjemmeside: http://or2010.fecyt.es/publico/Home/index.aspx

Repositories have been successfully established — within and across institutions — as a major source of digital information in a variety of environments such as research, education and cultural heritage. In a world of increasingly dispersed and modularized digital services and content, it remains a grand challenge for the future to cross the borders between diverse poles:

- the web and the repository,

- knowledge and technology,

- wild and curated content,

- linked and isolated data,

- disciplinary and institutional systems,

- scholars and service providers,

- ad-hoc and long-term access,

- ubiquitous and personalized environments,

- the cloud and the desktop.

The Open Repositories Conference (6 to 9-JUL-2010 in Madrid, Spain) brings together individuals and organizations responsible for the conception, development, implementation, and management of digital repositories, as well as stakeholders who interact with them for achieving the widest possible integration in theoretical, practical, and strategic matters.

The program of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, user groups, workshops, and tutorials will reflect the whole community of Open Repositories. Dedicated open source software community meetings for the major platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will provide opportunities to advance and coordinate the development of repository installations across the world.

6 Steps to Publishing a Scholarly Online Journal (for free!)

[Journal Article (Print/Paginated)]

Abstract:
Do you secretly harbor a dream of becoming Editor-in-Chief of your own publication? Are you organizing a conference and looking for an easy way to publish all of those contributed papers? Would you like to walk your students through the peer-reviewed publishing process? Why not start your own online journal?

Temaet i artiklen er OJS. Så en mulighed er jo også den lokale ekspertise på CBS Bibliotek og vores Ejournals@CBS.

Ejournals@CBS er CBS Biblioteks e-publiceringsservice for tidsskriftsredaktioner, som ønsker at publicere eller arkivere deres tidsskrift online eller for forskere, der vil lancere et nyt tidsskrift elektronisk.

Digitala lärresurser i öppna arkiv?
I vilken omfattning skapar och använder akademiska lärare idag fritt tillgängliga, digitala lärresurser? Kan man rymma lokalt producerade digitala lärresurser i lärosätenas öppna arkiv? Där finns det nu i första hand forskningspublikationer och uppsatser.

Krig om offentliggørelse af videnskabelige artikler
Bibliotekerne arbejder målrettet på at gøre videnskabelige artikler frit tilgængelige på nettet – og hævder at samfundet få en gevinst på 300 millioner kroner på en sådan model. Men det passer ikke, mener tidsskriftsredaktørerne, som frygter for mangfoldigheden af artikler

Pressemeddelelse fra Bibliotek og Medier: Gratis adgang til forskningsresultater er en god forretning

Udpluk fra pressemeddelelsen:

Danmark kan tjene millioner, hvis forskerne på universiteter og læreanstalter lægger deres rapporter gratis ud på nettet. Det viser en ny undersøgelse fra DEFF, Danmarks Elektroniske Fag- og Forskningsbibliotek.

Undersøgelsen “Costs and Benefits of Alternative Publishing Models: Denmark” analyserer omkostninger og potentielle gevinster ved forskellige modeller for publicering af forskning i Danmark.

DEFF præsenterer CBS’ tiltag med en Open Access politik.

CBS har vedtaget OA politik
Copenhagen Business School (CBS) har i løbet af foråret diskuteret og vedtaget en Open Access politik. Politikken betyder, at forskere på CBS fremover skal deponere en kopi af videnskabelige artikler i CBS’s repository. CBS Bibliotek har fået overdraget opgaven med at udforme og sikre praktiske, konkrete procedurer i forbindelse med implementeringen af politikken.

Ny Ph.D. afhandling om Open Access

Tove Faber Frandsen fra Danmarks Biblioteksskole har for nylig forsvaret sin Ph.D. afhandling med succes. Afhandlingen er opdelt i fem forskellige empiriske studier. Disse vedrører alle Open Access problematikker, og samles til sidst i et fyldigt resumé, som binder de forskellige studier sammen.

Faber Frandsens afhandling, som bærer titlen “Scholarly communication changing: the implications of Open Access”, har afdækket hidtil ukendte aspekter og helt nye muligheder for distribution af videnskabelig information og viden. Dette både internt i forskingsvæsenet men også til den brede befolkning, hvilket er sket ved hjælp af hårde, bibliometriske (statistiske) metoder.

Afhandlingen indikerer flere steder, at der kan være fordele at hente ved at anvende Open Access. Blandt andet peges der på øget mulighed for synergi i forskningen grundet mulighed for tidligere publicering via mere ufærdige produkter (working papers).
