«Knowledge is open if anyone is free to access, use, modify, and share it — subject, at most, to measures that preserve provenance and openness.» [Open Definition] Open Science

❟ What is it? ╶ the movement to make scientific research accessible to everyone ╶ includes different aspects ╶ FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable)

❟ What is it good for? ╶ shareable and transparent knowledge ╶ public funded research becomes publicly available ╶ reproducibility is increased ╶ more collaboration

A fundamental Human Right … Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 27

1. Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits. 2. Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author.

The Janus head of scholarship: Scholars are (re-)users of others’ works and Scholars are creators of works International common principles of “Copyright” / IPR

“Work” ● Original literary and artistic works ● Expressions, not ideas, are protected

Territoriality principle ● National law stops at border ● Apply law of the place where the infringement happened Common principles within Europe

“Author” ● natural person ● actual creator (BE/NL: if not explicitly named and previously agreed in a contract, authorship can be claimed by an institution as employer)

Attributes ● duration: 70 years p.m.a ● no registration necessary, right manifests at creation ● distinction between moral rights and economic rights

Exceptions ● right to private use (non-commercial, individual): “home-copy” ● citation (scientific, criticism, news, caricature) ● non-commercial, closed circle presentation (not necessarily making available!) for education and research Moral rights

No waiver possible!

Protection of Authorship Protection of Designation Protection of Integrity of the Work

→ in Common Law (US/UK): Work for Hire / Copyright Waiver / Public Domain Exploitation rights

Example: Austria

● Adaptation, edition and translation ● Reproduction ● Distribution ● Broadcasting ● Performance and demonstration ● Making available (to the public) Licenses

● What is it? ○ an official document that gives you permission to own, do, or use something ● Why does it matter? ○ «Providing a licence for your data makes it reusable and clearly describes the rights you give potential reusers. Reusing data with a licence is easier than without.» [ARCHE, FAQ] Principles

What can be licensed? any “works“ ● … to which you own the rights ● … taking into account (exclusive) publishing contracts, work contracts, co-authors!

What cannot be licensed? ● public domain works ● raw data (usually not “work”: originality and individual creation)

“A license is a formalized promise not to sue!“ (Pawel Kamocki)

Only the rights holder can license!
