A novel intervention in this 10 space is the creation of open access publishing platforms commissioned by funding or- 11 ganisations. Examples include those of the Wellcome Trust and the Gates Foundation, 12 as well as recently announced initiatives from public funders like the European Commis- 13 sion and the Irish Health Research Board. As the number of such platforms increases, it 14 becomes urgently necessary to assess in which ways, for better or worse, this emergent 15 phenomenon complements or disrupts the scholarly communications landscape. This 16 article examines ethical, organisational and economic strengths and weaknesses of such 17 platforms, as well as usage and uptake to date, to scope the opportunities and threats 18 presented by funder open access platforms in the ongoing transition to open access. The 19 article is broadly supportive of the aims and current implementations of such platforms, 20 finding them a novel intervention which stand to help increase OA uptake, control costs 21 of OA, lower administrative burden on researchers, and demonstrate funders’ commit- 22 ment to fostering open practices.

  • Att Publicera Efter Policyn

Ett antal seniora forskares förhållningssätt till open access efter Vetenskapsrådets open access-policy. Engelsk titel: To publish after the policy. A number of senior researchers’ attitudes toward Open Access after the Swedish Research Council’s Open Access policy. Författare: Amanda Glimstedt Färdigställt: 2014 Handledare: Helena Francke Abstract: Since the 1990’s Open Access has developed into an alternative model for scientific publication. Today an increasing political interest in promoting Open Access is commonly channeled through the implementation of policies by research funders. However, in the scientific community the uptake and acceptance of the model has been of notably different character. This Master’s thesis examines the understanding of and attitudes towards open access among eight senior Swedish researchers and how these have been affected by the implementation of the Swedish Research Council’s Open Access-policy as implemented in 2010. It further asks the question of how researchers’ publishing practices can be understood as shaped by and performed within actor-network configurations. The study is based on interviews with researchers from three academic disciplines. The empirical material has been analyzed through the perspective of actor-network theory. The study finds that the impact of the Swedish Research Council’s policy has been low. Yet, perceived as a floating object, the policy has forced the researchers to adhere to and position themselves in relation to the immanent powers of the policy and, thus, to Open Access both as movement and publishing model.

    Die UNESCO unterstützt den Aufbau moderner Wissensgesellschaften und beschäftigt sich mit den gesellschaftlichen, kulturellen, ethischen und rechtlichen Folgen der rasanten Entwicklung der neuen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien. Open Access Der Begriff „Open Access“ bezeichnet den für die Nutzer kostenlosen Zugang zu dem mit öffentlichen Mitteln fi nanzierten wissenschaftlichem Wissen. Ob es Chancen und Herausforderungen diesen kostenlosen Zugang geben sollte wird kontrovers diskutiert. Während die einen ein Innovationspotenzial für Bildung und Forschung hervorheben, fragen andere nach der Zukunft der Wissenschaftsverlage. Neue Geschäftsmodelle und der Zusammenhang von Open Access mit Urheberrechtsvorschriften werden diskutiert. Bei der konkreten Umsetzung von Open-Access-Modellen stellen – ein Handbuch – sich Fragen zu Qualitätssicherung, Archivierung und Finanzierung.

Engelsk titel: ”There is Some Kind of Open Access Out There.” An Idea and Ideology Analysis of How Librarians at Research Institutes Relates to Open Access. Författare: Johanna Dalmalm Kollegium: Kollegium 1 Färdigställt: 2009 Handledare: Torgil Persson Abstract The Open Access (OA) movement came to be as a reaction against the enclosure of information resources, facilitated by new distribution technologies. The purpose of the OA movement is to make research results freely available. The aim of this master´s thesis is to increase the understanding of how libraries outside of the academic sphere and within research institutes relates to OA. As a theoretical framework I created two different ideologies, the OA ideology and the nonsharing ideology. I also conducted six interviews with librarians. Through an idea and ideology analysis I relate the materials to the two different ideologies. The theories used concern information commons and gifting economies. My study shows that the informants have different views of the OA ideas depending on what aspects that is in question. Especially when it comes to economics and copyright issues the informants express a great degree of criticism against the traditional publishing models.

  • Repositories Recreated – the Finch Report Versus Diva in Sweden
    Information Services & Use 33 (2013) 183–189 183 DOI 10.3233/ISU-130696 IOS Press Repositories recreated – The Finch report versus DiVA in Sweden Stefan Andersson ∗ and Aina Svensson Electronic Publishing Centre, Uppsala University Library, Uppsala, Sweden Abstract. In this paper we give an overview of the development of institutional repositories in Sweden, by addressing the criticism raised in the Finch report. In contrast to how the use and development of institutional repositories in the UK is described we show the ever-increasing importance repositories take in Sweden, with DiVA as our particular example. Keywords: DiVA, Sweden, electronic publishing, digital publication, institutional repositories, research information, Open Access, the Finch report 1. Introduction Recently the technological and organizational infrastructures of institutional repositories have been questioned. The British so-called Finch report [1] from last summer argued that further development are needed in order to make them better integrated and interoperable to bring greater use by both authors and readers. Not only the technical frameworks and presumably low usage levels are criticized but also the lack of “clear policies on such matters as the content they will accept, the uses to which it may be put, and the role that they will play in preservation”. The report concludes that: “In practice patterns of deposit are patchy”. In Sweden we see a very different development of institutional repositories, compared to what is described in the Finch report. The institutional repositories today function as integrated services with many different applications and uses within a University or a research institute. The repositories are built on a thorough technical framework with high quality metadata standards, a prerequisite so that data can be used as a basis for evaluation and for allocating funds on a local basis, as well as to be re-used in other external web services.
