New study examines the economic returns of public access policies
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

>From Prof. Stevan Harnad NEW STUDY EXAMINES THE ECONOMIC RETURNS OF PUBLIC ACCESS POLICIES Washington, DC – Delivering timely, open, online access to the results of federally funded research in the United States will significantly increase the return on the public’s investment in science, according to a new study by John Houghton at the Centre for Strategic Economic Studies at Victoria University. The study, “The Economic and Social Returns on Investment in Open Archiving Publicly Funded Research Outputs,” co-authored by Bruce Rasmussen and Peter Sheehan, was released today by SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition). Public funding of scientific, technical, and medical research assumes that economic and social returns to taxpayers will exceed the amount of the research investment. A proposal currently before the U.S. Congress – the Federal Research Public Access Act, H.R. 5037 and S. 1373 (FRPAA) – seeks to ensure and maximize the public’s return by delivering open online access to the results of research funded through 11 federal agencies no later than six months after publication in a journal. The Victoria University study outlines one approach to measuring the potential impact of this policy on returns on public investment in research and development (R&D). The new study examines the effect of key variables that influence the potential return on investment from this research. These variables concern both access to research – including content embargoes – and the efficiency with which research is applied in practice. The study also defines the additional data and model developments necessary for an accurate estimate of the policy’s likely impact. Depending on the assumed cost of data repositories, the study’s preliminary models suggest that FRPAA’s enactment could lead to a return on the public’s investment of between four and 24 times the costs. Two thirds of this return would accrue within the United States, with the remainder spilling over to other countries. In the U.S., the study suggests that the benefits of public access might total between three and 16 times the cost of the public’s investment. The study closely examines the model’s sensitivity to critical assumptions and concludes that the benefits of public access would exceed the costs over a wide range of values. As the study’s authors note, “[I]t is difficult to imagine any plausible values for the input data and model parameters that would lead to a fundamentally different answer.” “It's important that discussions about the risks and benefits of public access to government-funded research focus on empirical evidence and rational argument,” added Raym Crow, SPARC Senior Consultant. “The model Houghton and his colleagues have developed facilitates such a logical approach and provides a framework for assessing objectively the economic effect of various scenarios.” The report's findings are based on available evidence. To enable others to explore the modeling, an online model is available from http://www.cfses.com/FRPAA. The full study, “The Economic and Social Returns on Investment in Open Archiving Publicly Funded Research Outputs,” is available on the SPARC Web site at http://www.arl.org/sparc.

by Rajesh Chandrakar 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Dear Colleagues and Professionals, We are pleased to share the news that the INFLIBNET Centre was awarded "Jury Choice Award e-INDIA 2010" in the category "Digital Learning : ICT Enabled University/Higher Education Institute of the Year" for the Year 2010 for the project entitled "National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content (N-LIST)". Out of 464 nominations for awards in various categories, 444 nominations were selected. There were 20 nominations under the "Digital Learning through ICT in Higher Education Institute" for the year 2010. Background of the Project The project entitled "National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content (N-LIST)" is funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), under its National Mission on Education through ICT, and is being jointly executed by the INFLIBNET Centre and IIT Delhi. The project provides for i) cross-subscription to e-resources subscribed by the two Consortia, i.e. subscription to INDEST-AICTE resources for universities and UGC-INFONET resources for technical institutions; and ii) subscription to selected electronic journals and electronic books for colleges. While the IIT Delhi is responsible for activity listed at (i) above, the INFLIBNET Centre is responsible for extending access to e-resources to colleges. The Centre is also responsible for developing and deploying appropriate software tools and techniques for authenticating authorized users. Under the project, individuals (including students, researchers and faculty) from colleges and other beneficiary institutions have access to more than 2,100 electronic journals, 51,000 electronic books and a bibliographic database called MathSciNet through a proxy server installed at the INFLIBNET Centre. The authorized users from colleges can access e-resources and download articles required by them directly from the publisher's website once they are duly authenticated using technologies deployed for this purpose at the INFLIBNET Centre. Current Status The Project was formally launched by Honourable Union Minister of Human Resource Development Shri Kapil Sibal at New Delhi on 4th May 2010. As on August 5, 2010, a total number of 1296 colleges have registered themselves with the N-LIST programme including 783 colleges covered under the 12B and 2F Section of the UGC Act. Lon-in IDs and passwords for accessing e-resources have been sent to these 783 colleges after obtaining list of authorized users from them. Remaining colleges are being advised to join the initiative as N-LIST Associates. All e-resources subscribed for colleges under the N-LIST Programme are now accessible to these 783 colleges through the N-LIST Website at http://nlist.inflibnet.ac.in.
