Share of OA in peer
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Dutch universities take another big step towards 100% Open Access 25 October 2022 Dutch universities published 82% of their peer-reviewed scientific publications Open Access in 2021. This is an increase of nine percentage points compared to 2020. For UU, the percentage is 80.7%. According to InCites (from Clarivate) less than 29% of papers published from India in the three years 2019-2021 are OA. We have a long way to go. If we want to move towards 100% OA, then our researchers should place their preprints in one of the tens of global preprint servers. For a list, please see https://doapr.coar-repositories.org/. Or they can place their postprints (immediately on acceptance by a journal) in an interoperable institutional repository (e.g. the one at ICRISAT, Hyderabad; and Eprints@CMFRI).

*From: Katie Zimmerman* Hi CopyrightX Affiliates! I hope this finds you well. I wanted to reach out in case any of you work with libraries or cultural institutions who may be interested in the Libraries’ affiliate course. Ana and I are running the Libraries affiliate this year, and it is an entirely online course which is open (and free) to library, archives, and cultural institution staff anywhere in the world. My own channels for letting prospective students know about it are pretty US-centric, but I’d love to get broader participation, if there is interest. Librarians, archivists, and workers at cultural institutions are welcome to apply at this link (which also has more information about the course): https://forms.gle/q9H4JAeBoSVCU9J86.

Description of the course: What is CopyrightX: Libraries? • CopyrightX: Libraries is an affiliate course of Harvard’s CopyrightX and is open to library, archives, and museum staff everywhere. Participants will learn the essentials of US copyright law, theory, and practice with an emphasis on issues relevant to cultural institutions, alongside a cohort of professional colleagues. It is an entirely online 12-week course comprising pre-recorded lectures, readings, and weekly seminars. What sort of time commitment should I expect? • The class runs for 12 weeks.
