6. Findable, Impactful, Citable, Usable, Sustainable (FICUS): a Heuristic for Digital Publishing Nicky Agate, Cheryl E
K EDITED BY VIRGINIA KUHN AND ANKE FINGER SHAPING THE DIGITAL DISSERTATION UHN KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION IN THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES AN D F EDITED BY VIRGINIA KUHN AND ANKE FINGER INGER SHAPING THE DIGITAL Digital dissertations have been a part of academic research for years now, yet there are ( E still many questions surrounding their processes. Are interactive dissertations significantly DS ISSERTATION different from their paper-based counterparts? What are the effects of digital projects on ) D doctoral education? How does one choose and defend a digital dissertation? This book explores the wider implications of digital scholarship across institutional, geographic, and disciplinary divides. The volume is arranged in two sections: the first, written by senior scholars, addresses conceptual concerns regarding the direction and assessment of digital dissertations in KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION IN THE the broader context of doctoral education. The second section consists of case studies by PhD students whose research resulted in a natively digital dissertation that they have S HAPING successfully defended. These early-career researchers have been selected to represent a ARTS AND HUMANITIES range of disciplines and institutions. Despite the profound effect of incorporated digital tools on dissertations, the literature concerning them is limited. This volume aims to provide a fresh, up-to-date view on the THE digital dissertation, considering the newest technological advances. It is especially relevant in the European context where digital dissertations, mostly in arts-based research, are D more popular. Shaping the Digital Dissertation aims to provide insights, precedents and best practices to IGITAL graduate students, doctoral advisors, institutional agents, and dissertation committees. -
Open Access Policy for Academic Books in the Netherlands
Note – Towards an open access policy for academic books in the Netherlands To : NPOS steering committee From : Eelco Ferwerda (OAPEN), Hans de Jonge (NWO), Jeroen Sondervan (VSNU/UKB) & Astrid van Wesenbeeck (KB) Subject : Towards an open access policy for scientific books in the Netherlands Version management : Approved by the NPOS Steering Committee on 14 October 2019 Public version: : 1.0.1 Introduction Progress to open access is lagging behind when it comes to books. This note aims to look at the process through which academic books are published, especially (though not only) for academic monographs. We try to provide some information about the numbers of books published in the Dutch academic context: how many titles are we actually talking about? And we also offer recommendations with regards to developing a policy for promoting an increase in the number of open access books. This note includes an outline of the issues surrounding academic books, the main features of the book publishing process (as compared to journals), and advice on how to arrive at a plan and an accompanying policy for open access for books.

By: Heather Grace Morrison, BC Electronic Library Network Open
A non-US non-UK Perspective on OA (Open Access) By: Heather Grace Morrison, BC Electronic Library Network Open access is being talked about, and implemented, around the globe, by everyone from the U.N. to individual authors, editors, and publishers, and collaborative groups. As of October 2004, requests for a government mandate for OA had gone forward not only in the U.S. and the U.K., but also Croatia. The Scielo (Scientific Electronic Online) collections of Latin America are very substantial, fully open access journal collections. In the developing world, OA is seen not only as the best means to access the research results of others, but as an opportunity to contribute their own scholarly research findings. The purpose of this session is to present a few OA projects and perspectives on open access from around the world, from my viewpoint as an enthusiastic advocate of open access. For more information about OA, go to Peter Suber’s excellent OpenAccess Overview, at http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm There are many sessions on open access at this conference, and no doubt details about the definitions (Budapest, Berlin, Bethesda) will be covered. For the purposes of this session, a simple definition of Open Access will be used: making scholarly journal article sfreely available to anyone, anywhere over the world wide web. There are two basic types of open access. The “gold” road is OA publishing, that is, journals which are published as fully open access in the first place. The “green” road is OA self-archiving, where authors make a copy of their article openly accessible, whether in an institutional repository, departmental or personal website. -
6. Telling Stories Or Selling Stories: Writing for Pleasure, Writing for Art Or Writing to Get Paid?
J ANIS EDITED BY JANIS JEFFERIES AND SARAH KEMBER J Whose Book is it Anyway? EFFERIES A View from Elsewhere on Publishing, Copyright and Creativity AND S EDITED BY JANIS JEFFERIES AND SARAH KEMBER ARAH K Whose Book is it Anyway? is a provoca� ve collec� on of essays that opens out the copyright EMBER debate to ques� ons of open access, ethics, and crea� vity. It includes views – such as ar� st’s perspec� ves, writer’s perspec� ves, feminist, and interna� onal perspec� ves – that ( are too o� en marginalized or elided altogether. EDS The diverse range of contributors take various approaches, from the scholarly and the .) essayis� c to the graphic, to explore the future of publishing based on their experiences as publishers, ar� sts, writers and academics. Considering issues such as intellectual property, copyright and comics, digital publishing and remixing, and what it means (not) to say one is an author, these vibrant essays urge us to view central aspects of wri� ng and publishing Whose Book is it Anyway? in a new light. Whose Book is it Anyway? Whose Book is it Anyway? is a � mely and varied collec� on of essays. It asks us to reconceive our understanding of publishing, copyright and open access, and it is essen� al reading for anyone invested in the future of publishing. As with all Open Book publica� ons, this en� re book is available to read for free on the publisher’s website.

The Open Access Interviews
The Open Access Interviews Richard Poynder talks to Leslie Chan, Associate Director of Bioline International, co-signatory of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, supervisor in the new media and international studies programs at the University of Toronto, and tireless champion for the needs of the developing world. Published on 20th June 2008 Every revolution has its unsung heroes: those people who contribute a great deal to a cause, but who are insufficiently recognised for it — sometimes because their efforts take place behind the scenes, sometimes because they are unduly modest, sometimes for a combination of such reasons. That would appear to be the role that Leslie Chan has played in the Open Access (OA) movement. Without fanfare, and with little public thanks, Chan has for over ten years now tirelessly promoted OA — travelling the world to give presentations on the topic, writing articles in support of it, and advising, assisting, and motivating others to play their part too, all voluntary work that Chan has had to fit around a full-time teaching post at the University of Toronto Scarborough. Who is Leslie Chan, why is he so committed to OA, and why does he believe it to be so important for the developing world? To answer these questions we need to look more closely not just into Chan's background, but into the development of OA itself.
