    EIFL Open Access Case Study Students for Open Access in Poland Katarzyna Rybicka, Fundacja Projekt: Polska, Centrum Cyfrowe Results of the EIFL-funded project, October 2014 “At our faculty researchers publish a number of publications. But we do not have access to them. Sometimes it is even hard to find out that they actually exist. The same thing happens with the scientific works written by students. Open access is not only about increasing citation, which refers to professors and researchers. Through our actions we show a variety of practical benefits of open access, both for students and researchers. Because open access is our common cause.” – Ewa Majdecka, student, Opener Initiative, Institute of Applied Social Sciences at Warsaw University “In Poland, students get access to the results of research mainly through unauthorized reproduction: scanning and copying. Still only small part of educational materials is available online. Bottom-up initiatives based on the open access idea such as the Open Science Library replace this model by providing access, but with the consent and on rules defined by the authors. Our experience shows that scientists are willing to share their knowledge, you only need to create favorable conditions in order to make it more visible.” – Klaudia Grabowska, project coordinator, Open Science Library "Implementation of open access in Poland is necessary not only to adapt Polish learning system to European standards. It is primarily an opportunity to increase innovation flowing from the free exchange of knowledge. And the possibility of reducing the cost of studying and research.” – Alek Tarkowski, Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska Foundation, Creative Commons Poland INTRODUCTION Open access (OA) is gaining popularity among Polish researchers, but it has not yet been promoted well among students.

  • Management 11 (1): 81–95 81 Joanna Hetman-Krajewska
    Open Access to Scientific Works: Axiology, History and Chosen Aspects of Copyright Solutions joanna hetman-krajewska Polish Academy of Sciences [email protected] Problems concerning Open Access to human creative works, es- pecially scientific works is complex. Development of research and growing number of scholarly papers as well as other materials demand systemic solutions – both in national and international perspective. The article outlines legal and practical problems con- cerning Open Access to scientific works – the basic phenomenon tending to ensure free development of sciences in the context of local, European and international cooperation and progress. The author describes the history of Open Access movement, starting in the 1980s with the development of free software trend and fol- lowed by Creative Commons licensing solutions. The first decade of the new millennium has brought many great strides in popu- larization of Open Access. Many initiatives of this kind have ap- peared launched by various actors. The basic legal problems of Open Access are obtaining research materials to on-line reposi- tories and – on the other hand – liability of repository providers in the context of potential breaches of copyright. Key words: Open Access, Creative Commons, scientific works, copyright law Introduction The problem of Open Access to the scientific output is not only local, i.e. national, but also strictly international. The issue was expressed by the European Union – e.g. in its initiative Open Data Strategy announced on 12 December 2011 or in the programs openaire and openaireplus developing e-infrastructure for different dispersed repositories. Simultaneously,Open Access implementation is launch- ed on the non-government basis – there are disciplinary reposito- ries (arXiv, Social Science Research Network), research foundations (Wellcome Trust), as well as open and hybrid publishers (plos).

  • The Opencitations Corpus: an Open Citations Database for Scientific Publications (As of 2018) 1
    BIBLIOTHECA NOSTRA. Śląski kwartalnik naukowy NR 1 (51) 2018, S. 127-137 anna małGorzata kamińska1 THE OPENCITATIONS CORPUS: AN OPEN CITATIONS DATABASE FOR SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS (AS OF 2018) 1 Introduction The origins of the concept of citation indexes dates back to 1955, when Eugene Garfield published in „Science” (Garfield, 1955) a proposal to cre- ate citation indexes for science as a tool of scientific journals evaluation. The first Science Citation Index (SCI) was published in 1963 and contained 102,000 articles published in 1961 in 613 selected journals. Although initially the development of bibliometric analyzes was stimulated mainly by the need to observe the development of science and the evaluation of journals, for some time quantitative bibliometric indicators have also been a principle component of parametric evaluation of scientific institutions and researchers, both in Poland and worldwide. However, the rationality of decisions determining the stimulation of scientific development that are based on quantitative indicators depends on the completeness and cred- ibility of the sources of data from which these indicators are calculated. We can now observe the development of citation indexes from two opposite poles. The first ones are sources of a controlled quality maintained by com- mercial institutions working directly with publishers of scientific journals. An example of such an index is certainly SCI, founded by Eugene Garfield, which is now known at the Web of Science and is presently maintained and developed by Clarivate Analytics. Indexed data come directly from the publishers of selected scientific journals and are therefore a reliable source of metrics computed for journals or scientists.

  • Open Access from the Point of View of the Polish Author
    Nr 4/2019 PME Open access from the point of view of the Polish author Karolina Dziakowicz1 The purpose of this article is to analyse the phenomenon of Open Access from the point of view of the author subject to the Polish legal regime. This text describes not only the genesis and general assumptions of the Open Access movement, but also indicates solutions that can be used by the author based on the provisions of Polish law. The open science thesis that assumes the acceptance of the principle of openness at all stages of work and scientific communication is more and more proclaimed. This revolution consists not only of technological changes, but above all in the consciousness of people from the world of science, which thanks to digital tools appeal again to the fundamental principles of an effective scientific process – openness and readiness to cooperate with others. A society that is more and more aware of its rights has begun to demand disclosure of research results achieved by public funds. Thus, the views that scientific knowledge is in fact a public property and its use (subject to the principle of including authors’ rights to published materials) should not be subject to restrictions that are increasingly and more clearly proclaimed. Open access can speed up research in any field and in any language. The most important, however, seems to be the realization of what it really is, why it turns out to be beneficial, how to implement it, and how it is best achieved. Introduction Nevertheless, the theme of Open Access in Poland develops gradually and sometimes inefficiently.

It is also engaged in advocacy for semantic publishing and, as a key member of the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC), also for open citations. Dr David Shotton and Professor Silvio Peroni are its two Directors. It provided, maintains and updates the OpenCitations Data Model (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.3443876) which is based on our widely used SPAR (Semantic Publishing and Referencing) Ontologies (http://www.sparontologies.net), which may be used to encode all aspects of scholarly bibliographic and citation data in RDF, enabling them to be published as Linked Open Data (LOD). Separately, OpenCitations provides open source software of generic applicability for searching, browsing and providing APIs over RDF triplestores (https://github.com/opencitations). It has developed the OpenCitations Corpus (OCC, http://opencitations.net/corpus), a database of open downloadable bibliographic and citation data recorded in RDF and released under a Creative Commons CC0 public domain waiver, which currently contains information about ~14 million citation links to over 7.5 million cited resources.
