Open Access to publicly funded research
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

25 US University Provosts Support Senate Bill on Open Access. [Please see the full text of the letter at http://www.cic.uiuc.edu/groups/CICMembers/archive/documents/FRPAAletterFina… . The universities include Harvard, University of California, Pennsylvania State University, University of Michigan, Texas A&M University, Syracuse University, University of Iowa, Purdue University, and Carnegie-Mellon University]. A second set of over 20 university provosts came out with their support to FRPAA within a few days of the first 25. ------------------------------------------------------- Twenty-five US University Provosts have issued an open letter to the US Higher Education community, voicing strong support for the Federal Research Public Access Act of 2006 (FRPAA). In the letter, the Provosts state, "We endorse FRPAA's aims and urge the academic community, individually and collectively, to voice support for its passage." FRPAA would require Federal agencies whose extramural research budgets exceed $100 million to develop policies ensuring open, public access to the research supported by their grants or conducted by their employees. The Act is currently awaiting consideration by the US Senate. The signatories of the letter, which include the Provosts of Harvard and the University of California, write, "We believe that this legislation represents a watershed and provides an opportunity for the entire U.S. higher education and research community to draw upon their traditional partnerships and collaboratively realize the unquestionably good intentions of the Bill's framers - broadening access to publicly funded research in order to accelerate the advancement of knowledge and maximize the related public good." The open letter is available on the Committee of Institutional Cooperation website. ___________________________________________________________ Funding agencies (and governments) in developing countries such as India should do well to mandate open, public access to the research supported by their grants. Vice chancellors of universities, directors of research centres, heads of funding institutions and science academies and professional societies should urge the government to enact appropriate legislation (similar to the FRPAA in the USA). And without waiting for the legislation to be in place, they should set up interoperable institutional open access archives (as has been done at the Indian Institute of Science, NCL, NAL, NIO, RRI, IIA and a few other institutions) AND GO ONE STEP FURTHER and mandate OA (as has been done at NIT, Rourkela).

Do journalspermit institutional archiving?
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Aug '06

13 Aug '06

Friends: A few days agoI gave a talk on open access at the Bose Institute, Kolkata (Ultadanga - Salt Lake campus). Afew biologists were very concerned about publishing only in high impact journals and they thought publishers of those journals would not allow authors to self-archive the papers after publication. This afternoon I had lunch with a senior scientist in H'bad and he told me that "most of us are publishing in high impact journals once in a while and if the journal forbids archiving we will not be able to archive." There may be a number of other researchers in India who may share such apprehensions. Here is a message from Stevan Harnad which provides AUTHENTIC information on the actual number of journals that permit author self-archiving. The actual titles of these journals are available at the SHERPA and Romeo sites. All Kluwer journals and all Springer journals, for example, allow author self-archiving (or institutional archiving). Of the 9,214 journals surveyed, 6458 (or 70%) allow archiving of both preprints and post-prints, and 23% allow preprint archiving - making a total of 93% of journals. Please spread the word among all scientists. Thanks and best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] ---------------------------------- Stevan Harnad in a discussion list In Open Access News, Peter Suber wrote: > I applaud Cambridge's decision to continue to allow immediate OA > archiving of peer-reviewed author manuscripts, even when authors > choose not to participate in Cambridge Open. That's a step most of > the other OA hybrid programs have been unwilling to take. http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2006_08_06_fosblogarchive.html#115541257… Actually, Cambridge University Press's commendable Open Access Policy: (1) Green on PREPRINT self-archiving (2) Green on immediate, unembargoed POSTPRINT self-archiving *and* (3) Hybrid Gold (Cambridge Open Option) is optimal, but CUP, now offering Open Option (for 15 of its 186 journals) is not alone or in the minority among Green Publishers! For example, Springer's Open Choice covers Springer's 502 Journals and (I believe) Kluwer's 837 journals, and these journals are all solid GREEN. I will provide the figures in terms of number and percentage of journals rather than in terms of number and percentage of publishers (because some publishers publish 1000+ journals and some publish only one!). (The primary data are from SHERPA-Romeo http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo.php ; they are recoded at EPrint-Romeo http://romeo.eprints.org/ ): GREEN journals (6458/9214) (70%): Endorse POSTPRINT (G) or both POSTPRINT and PREPRINT (Gg) self-archiving PALE-GREEN journals (2113/9214) (23%): Endorse PREPRINT (g) self-archiving only. GRAY journals (627/9214) (7%): Endorse neither PREPRINT nor POSTPRINT (X) self-archiving The embargoes (1864/9214) (20%) are, as you would expect, and almost by definition, mostly among the PALE-GREEN journals, who only endorse PREPRINT (g) self-archiving: GREEN (Gg + G) journal embargoes: 27/6458 = <1% PALE-GREEN (g) journal embargoes: 1821/2113 = 86% GRAY (X) journal embargoes: 16/627 = 3% Note that the right way to interpret this is that the endorsement of delayed self-archiving is an *advance* over no endorsement of self-archiving at all. So the 14% of PALE-GREEN (g) journals who don't endorse at least delayed postprint self-archiving are in fact *less* progressive than the 86% that do endorse postprint self-archiving after a delay. And of course the 3% of GRAY journals that endorse delayed self-archiving are at least a smidgen more progressive than those who don't endorse self-archiving at all (though two of these -- the Modern Humanities Research Association journals with a 24-month embargo and the 6 Inter Research journals with a *48-month* embargo are a bit of a joke!). A few updates have to be done, however, in both SHERPA-Romeo and EPrints-Romeo, to downgrade the 27 (1%) of the 6458 GREEN (G) journals to GRAY (X), because embargoed self-archiving is definitely *not* Green. Data details, including the minor re-classifications that are needed, appear below.
