  • Public Access Policies for Science and Technology Funding Ag
    Comments of the Association of Research Libraries Concerning “Public Access Policies for Science and Technology Funding Agencies across the Federal Government” Submitted to the Office of Science and Technology Policy, January 15, 2010 Summary Thank you for the opportunity to comment on “Public Access Policies for Science and Technology Funding Agencies Across the Federal Government.” Enhancing public access to federally funded research results has been and continues to be a priority for the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and its member libraries. We very much appreciate the interest and focus of the Office of Science and Technology Policy in stimulating a public discussion regarding the benefits of enhancing public access to federally funded research. ARL supports enhanced access to federally funded research resources because such policies are integrally tied to and support the mission of higher education and scholarship. ARL believes that extending public access policies to federally funded research to other science and technology agencies will be a central component of President Obama’s transparency and open Government initiative. We fully support such an extension. ARL is an association of 124 research libraries in North America. These libraries directly serve 4.2 million students and faculty and spend $1.3 billion annually on information resources of which 45% (in 2008) is spent of electronic resources. New investments in cyber and information infrastructure are critical components to advancing science and education and spurring innovation. Reports such as the National Academies report, Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future, reflect the pressing need to ensure an environment that is conducive to enabling the United States to meet the global challenges of the 21st century.

The purpose of this paper is to outline the the lowest possible costs issues and potential paths forward, for discussion and planning with researchers and administrators of Canadian universities, in the international context. Our common goal is to enable research results to be as widely distributed and accessible as possible, internationally, in high quality publishing venues at the lowest possible costs. Developments in scholarly communication in Canada Twenty years ago this year, the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (now Universities Canada) and the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) issued a report titled “The Changing World of Scholarly Communication: Challenges and Choices for Canada.”1 The report was the work of a joint Task Force on Academic Libraries and Scholarly Communication, formed in 1994 to address the impacts of technology, the economy and other factors on the scholarly landscape.

  • Copyright and Open Access in the Life Sciences
    Copyright and Open Access in the Life Sciences A Researcher’s Guide to Sharing and Publishing Scientific Information Jill M. Shuman Copyright and Open Access in the Life Sciences 2 As part of the life sciences ecosystem, you have a variety of responsibilities that range from the ethical pursuit and conduct of research to safeguarding the intellectual property created by you and others. This includes compliance with copyright laws, which exist to encourage the creation of new works by giving special rights to the holder of the copyright. Any original work that is written down, recorded, or captured in some other fashion is protected by copyright, which includes research publications, paintings, musical compositions, blog posts, music, news features, videos, podcasts, scientific posters, and e-books. Copyright issues are becoming more prominent as digital technologies have made copying and distributing information easier, yet the issue of copyright is one of the most misunderstood concepts among those who work in the life sciences. Simply stated, current copyright laws exist to protect the rights of authors and other copyright holders by giving them exclusive rights to authorize certain uses of their work. The main goals of copyright are to encourage the development of culture, science, and innovation, while providing a benefit to copyright holders and facilitating public access to knowledge. It is important to note that copyright is a form of intellectual property that protects the expression or presentation of ideas, but does not protect the ideas themselves. Thus, when a researcher writes an article or a book and transfers the copyright to a publisher, copyright protection applies to the words and images in the publication, but others can use the ideas presented in that publication with proper attribution1.
