Das Projekt Nationaler Open Access Kontaktpunkt (OA2020-DE) dient dem Schaffen von Voraussetzungen für die großflächige Open-Access-Transformation wissenschaftlicher Zeitschriften in Übereinstimmung mit der Allianz der deutschen Wissenschaftsorganisationen.
OA2020 is an initiative building on the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, which has been embraced by more than 560 signatory institutions.
CESAER - the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research - is a non-profit international association of leading European universities of science and technology and engineering schools/faculties at comprehensive universities and university colleges.
SHERPA Juliet is a searchable database and single focal point of up-to-date information concerning funders’ policies and their requirements on open access, publication and data archiving.
Angesichts des Fortgangs des Gesetzgebungsverfahrens zum 3. Korb UrhG und der auch in anderen Arbeitsgruppen der Allianz-Initiative immer wieder auftauchenden Rechtsfragen fokussiert die Arbeitsgruppe ihre Arbeit auf zwei Bereiche. Sie soll auf der einen Seite weiterhin im Rahmen des Novellierungsprozesses des Urheberrechtsgesetzes (3. Korb) u. a. durch Kommentierung eines kommenden Referentenentwurfs (in Zusammenarbeit mit den Justiziariaten der Allianz-Organisationen) aktiv werden und die Positionierung der Allianz in Urheberrechtsfragen in Abstimmung mit der Kultusministerkonferenz voranbringen. Auf der anderen Seite soll sie Zuarbeiten für die Querschnittsthemen der Allianz-Initiative leisten. Dies betrifft u. a. Fragen zum Open Access Gold Publizieren, zu Nutzungsrechten an Publikationen und Forschungsdaten, zur langfristigen Finanzierung von Open Access Community Services und zum unabdingbaren Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht.
Die Bibliothek der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung ist heute eine der weltweit grössten wissenschaftlichen Spezialbibliotheken mit den Sammelschwerpunkten deutsche und internationale Arbeiterbewegung, deutsche und internationale Sozial- und Zeitgeschichte, Veröffentlichungen von Parteien und Gewerkschaften in Deutschland und ausgewählten Ländern.
We are creating a visual interface to the world's scientific knowledge that can be used by anyone in order to dramatically improve the discoverability of research results.
A. Oberländer, and T. Reimer (Eds.) MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, Basel, (2019)English; Libraries are places of learning and knowledge creation. Over the last two decades, digital technology—and the changes that came with it—have accelerated this transformation to a point where evolution starts to become a revolution.The wider Open Science movement, and Open Access in particular, is one of these changes and is already having a profound impact. Under the subscription model, the role of libraries was to buy or license content on behalf of their users and then act as gatekeepers to regulate access on behalf of rights holders. In a world where all research is open, the role of the library is shifting from licensing and disseminating to facilitating and supporting the publishing process itself.This requires a fundamental shift in terms of structures, tasks, and skills. It also changes the idea of a library’s collection. Under the subscription model, contemporary collections largely equal content bought from publishers. Under an open model, the collection is more likely to be the content created by the users of the library (researchers, staff, students, etc.), content that is now curated by the library.Instead of selecting external content, libraries have to understand the content created by their own users and help them to make it publicly available—be it through a local repository, payment of article processing charges, or through advice and guidance. Arguably, this is an overly simplified model that leaves aside special collections and other areas. Even so, it highlights the changes that research libraries are undergoing, changes that are likely to accelerate as a result of initiatives such as Plan S.This Special Issue investigates some of the changes in today’s library services that relate to open access.
