The MIT Press releases report on the future of open access publishing and policy
by Amy Harris 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

[with apologies for cross posting] The MIT Press releases report on the future of open access publishing and policy https://mitpress.mit.edu/the-mit-press-releases-report-on-the-future-of-ope… The comprehensive report is the outcome of a National Science Foundation-funded workshop, identifying critical issues in open access publishing and how to address them Today, the MIT Press is releasing a comprehensive report that addresses how open access policies shape research and what is needed to maximize their positive impact on the research ecosystem. The report, entitled “Access to Science & Scholarship 2024: Building an Evidence Base to Support the Future of Open Research Policy<https://assets.pubpub.org/oiucyi8r/MIT%20Press%20Workshop%20-%20Access%20to…>,” is the outcome of a National Science Foundation-funded workshop held at the D.C. headquarters of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on September 20, 2024. While open access aims to democratize knowledge, its implementation has been a factor in the consolidation of the academic publishing industry, an explosion in published articles with inconsistent review and quality control, and new costs that may be hard for researchers and universities to bear, with less affluent schools and regions facing the greatest risk. The workshop examined how open access and other open science policies may affect research and researchers in the future, how to measure their impact, and how to address emerging challenges. The event brought together leading experts to discuss critical issues in open scientific and scholarly publishing. These issues include: * The impact of open access policies on the research ecosystem * The enduring role of peer review in ensuring research quality * The challenges and opportunities of data sharing and curation * The evolving landscape of scholarly communications infrastructure The report identifies key research questions in order to advance open science and scholarship. These include: * How can we better model and anticipate the consequences of government policies on public access to science and scholarship? * How can research funders support experimentation with new and more equitable business models for scientific publishing? * If the dissemination of scholarship is decoupled from peer review and evaluation, who is best suited to perform that evaluation, and how should that process be managed and funded? “This workshop report is a crucial step in building a data-driven roadmap for the future of open science publishing and policy,” said Dr. Phillip Sharp, Institute Professor and Professor of Biology Emeritus at MIT and faculty lead of the working group behind the workshop and the report. “By identifying key research questions around infrastructure, training, technology, and business models, we aim to ensure that open science practices are sustainable and that they contribute to the highest quality research.” The full report is available for download here<https://access-to-science.pubpub.org/pub/httpsaccess-to-sciencepubpuborgpub…>, along with video recordings of the workshop. About the MIT Press: The MIT Press is a leading academic publisher committed to advancing knowledge and innovation. It publishes significant books and journals across a wide range of disciplines spanning science, technology, design, humanities, and social science.

Annual expenditure on STEM and HSS journal subscription, and annual expenditure on APC paid to journals for the period 2014-2023
by Subbiah Arunachalam 09 Nov '24

09 Nov '24

Friends, A large part of research in India is funded mostly by one or the other of the Govt funding agencies. The total amount invested on R&D hovers around 0.65-0.7% of GDP, very small compared to some other countries which invest upwards of 4% of GDP. On top of it, not all that meagre some is used for research - on research fellows, laboratory supplies and equipment, setting up facilities (like astronomical observatories or neutrino observation centres), hosting and taking part in conferences/workshops, etc. A part of the money goes to subscribing to journals, a large number of them by a few greedy publishers who report profit margins of around 3% year after year and on APC towards publishing papers in certain journals supposed to be 'prestigious.' Would some member of this forum, preferably someone interested in the cost of doing science, invest some time to examine how much has been the outflow of money from India towards APC annually say since 2015. Also the amount spent on subscribing to overseas journals, both STEM and HSS, annually? With best wishes, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Many books and recordings will come into the public domain soon
by Subbiah Arunachalam 03 Nov '24

03 Nov '24

Friends, Come the New Year's Day in less than two months, we will be able to access for free a very large number of books and recordings (whose copyright expires this year). Please see https://everybodyslibraries.com/2024/11/01/the-remainder-of-the-roaring-20s… . Do we have an annual list of books published in India (and recordings) that go out of copyright and thus become freely accessible to the public? I don't know. With warm regards, Arun
