The State of Open Access in Germany: an Analysis of the Publication Output of German Universities The State of Open Access in Germany: An Analysis of the Publication Output of German Universities Neda Abediyarandi and Philipp Mayr [email protected]; [email protected] GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, Cologne, Germany we matched all WoS publications of these 66 Introduction universities with UNPAYWALL publications. We Starting with the Berlin declaration in 2003, Open considered matching based on DOI and title to get Access (OA) publishing has established a new era precise results. We got round 34% matched of scholarly communication due to the unrestricted publications because a larger number of DOIs for electronic access to peer reviewed publications. OA publications in WoS was missing (especially offers a number of benefits like e.g. increased between 2000 and 2002). In the WoS dataset each citation counts (Gargouri et al., 2010) and enhanced publication can be affiliated with some authors. To visibility and accessibility of research output remove redundancy, we randomly allocated each (Tennant et al., 2016). The OA movement with its specific publication to one of its authors, in other powerful mandating and policymaking has been words, if a publication is written by several authors very successful in recent years. Relatively little is from different universities; we counted just for one known about the real effects of these activities in of them. In Table 1 we list the 10 German terms of OA publication output of institutions on a universities with the most matched WoS larger scale (Piwowar et al., 2018). The aim of this publications from 2000 to 2017. article is to investigate to what extent the OA Table 1.

Beyond determining the overall share of openly available articles, a systematic classification of distinct categories of OA publishing allows to identify different patterns of adoption to OA. Taking into account the particularities of the German research landscape, variations in terms of productivity, OA uptake and approaches to OA are examined at the meso-level and possible explanations are discussed. The development of the OA uptake is analysed for the different research sectors in Germany (universities, non-university research institutes of the Helmholtz Association, Fraunhofer Society, Max Planck Society, Leibniz Association, and government research agencies). Combining several data sources (incl. Web of Science, Unpaywall, an authority file of standardised German affiliation information, the ISSN-Gold-OA 3.0 list, and OpenDOAR), the study confirms the growth of the OA share mirroring the international trend reported in related studies. We found that 45% of all considered articles in the observed period were openly available at the time of analysis.

  • Waiving Article Processing Charges for Least Developed Countries | Niels Taubert, Et Al
    Insights – 34, 2021 Waiving article processing charges for least developed countries | Niels Taubert, et al. Waiving article processing charges for least developed countries: a keystone of a large-scale open access transformation This article investigates whether it is economically feasible for a large publishing house to waive article processing charges for the group of 47 so-called least developed countries (LDC). As an example, Springer Nature is selected. The analysis is based on the Web of Science, OpenAPC and the Jisc Collections’ Springer Compact journal list. As a result, it estimates an average yearly publication output of 520 publications (or 0.26% of the worldwide publication output in Springer Nature journals) for the LDC country group. The loss of revenues for Springer Nature would be US$1.1 million if a waiver was applied for all of these countries. Given that the subject categories of these publications indicate the output is of high societal relevance for LDC, and given that money is indispensable for development in these countries (e.g. life expectancy, health, education), it is not only desirable but also possible in economic terms for a publisher like Springer Nature to waive APCs for these countries without much loss in revenues.

I. Introduction In recent years a number of funding organizations and research councils have started to support a large-scale transformation towards gold open access (OA) that is based on article processing charges (APC). National-wide OA-contracts were negotiated for Austria, Finland, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Qatar, Sweden and the UK.1 The transformation of the publication environment from a subscription-based towards APC-based financial model is undoubtedly complex and bears some risks for all parties involved.

It investigates the technical and structural, policy-related, and normative and inherent academic research conditions exerting an influence on the acceptance, dissemination, and use of Open Access (OA). The research project focuses on the German-speaking countries. VET research represents an interlinking of various related academic research areas, rather than comprising a stand-alone discipline. Therefore, the assumption must be that the results of the project will be at least partially transferable to other fields within the social sciences and the humanities and will thus contribute towards findings with regard to OA across the whole of the latter domain. The background to the project is underpinned by science communication and by media theory. The empirical basis of the study has its foundations in a Sequential Mixed Method Design with a qualitative strand, followed by a quantitative strand. The qualitative exploration via focus groups will lead to hypotheses for the online survey.

Despite disagreement among scholars over how precisely to define ‘populism,’ it remains a prevailing feature of European political dynamics, as evidenced by the rise of the right wing National Rally party under Marine Le Pen in France, the Brexit movement in the UK, the rise of the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) in Germany, the landslide re-election of the socially conservative “Eurosceptic” Viktor Orbán in Hungary, the merger of the left and right populist parties and the Five Star Movement in Italy, and the policies of Andrzej Duda and his government in Poland, all of which have engendered far right, anti-immigration tendencies throughout the continent.

    Bulletin of the Transylvania University of Bra şov • Vol. 3 (52) - 2010 Series IV: Philology and Cultural Studies OPEN ACCESS IN GERMANY Svenja HAGENHOFF ∗∗∗ Abstract: The market of scholarly journals has experienced massive price increases, at a rate that is several times higher than the general inflation rate. Libraries are no longer able to adequately provide scientists with the required literature. As this jeopardizes scientific progress, the system of scientific communication is in need of new models. The journal crisis has generated a movement that demands Open Access to scientific results. This article attempts to highlight the role of Open Access in Germany on the level of research policy and sponsoring. Keywords: open access, scholarly communication, open access repositories, open access journals , open access policies, open access financing models. 1. Journal Crisis as Motivation example, has established that there was an increase in the average costs For several years the market of scholarly per journal of 188% for the American journals has experienced massive price market between 1986 and 2004.
