The following is a model open-access policy in the Harvard style — with a freely waivable
rights-retaining license and a deposit requirement. This language is based on and
informed by the policies voted by several Harvard faculties, as well as MIT, Stanford University
School of Education, Duke University, and others. I have added some annotations
explaining why the wording is chosen as it is.
Further information explaining the motivation for and implementation of the Harvard
open-access policies is available at the web site of Harvard’s Office for Scholarly Communication
(http://osc.hul.harvard.edu/). Inquiries about the policy and this
model language can be made to osc@hulmail.harvard.edu.
This document will be updated over time as further refinements are made to the policy.

Im Projekt DOARC sollen Autoren und Leser leistungsfähige Werkzeuge zur Literaturverwaltung im Internet erhalten. Beispiele hierfür sind neben dem Import und Export von Referenzen in Standardformaten wie BibTeX und EndNote vor allem auch die Darstellung verwandter Arbeiten mittels Zitationsgraphen. Neben unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten zur interaktiven Visualisierung ähnlicher Themengebiete, Zitationshäufigkeiten etc. sollen diese eine direkte Navigation zu verwandten Arbeiten ermöglichen. Um die Nutzerfreundlichkeit und Popularität dieser Werkzeuge zu erhöhen, sollen sie zeitnah in der etablierten Fach-Community des Cluster Science Net implementiert und erprobt werden. Die Erschließung von Zitationen soll in enger Kopplung mit dem Vorhaben Open- Access (OAN) Netzwerk erfolgen, die Attraktivität von OA-Repositorien erhöhen und somit den Open-Access-Prozess unterstützen. DOARC wird auf international abgestimmten Metadaten aufbauen, zu Diensten wie etwa dem etablierten Citebase kompatibel sein und somit im Verbund mit den DINI-zertifizierten Repositorien über das Infrastruktur-Layer des Vorhabens OA-Netzwerk zu einer Verbesserung der internationalen Sichtbarkeit der Publikationen beitragen. Der DOARC-Dienst soll zum Projekt-Abschluss vollständig in das OA-Netzwerk-Portal und das Infrastruktur-Layer integriert sein.
This paper by Paul Peters, the Senior Publishing Developer of Hindawi Publishing Corporation, has been written for publication in the conference proceedings of Online Information 2006. Peters presents different open access publishing models and explains why so-called Big Deal journal subscription packages create a barrier to entry into the publishing market.
He explains that these packages are a barrier because only large publishing firms can offer a package with many different journal titles. In contrast, Peters favours the Author-Pays- Model which provides, in his opinion, a sustainable open access publishing model.
NEEO is an EU-funded project which will address the lack of integration of academic output amongst premier economics institutions by creating a powerful new research tool called Economists Online.
EconStor is the new Open Access server of the German National Library of Economics – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. EconStor provides a basis for the free publication of academic literature in economics.
Verleger und Autoren wehren sich auf Initiative des Heidelberger Professors Roland Reuß gegen eine "Enteignung" durch Google und Open Access. Ihre Argumentation ist haarstraubend, voller Fehler und gefährlich
Publishing humanities monographs in Open Access
OAPEN is a project in Open Access publishing for humanities and social sciences monographs. The consortium of University-based academic publishers who make up OAPEN believe that the time is ripe to bring the successes of scientific Open Access publishing to the humanities and social sciences.
The OAPEN partners are all active in the Open Access movement already, with details available on their pages on this site and on their own websites.
The project will find useful, exciting and beneficial ways of publishing scholarly work in Open Access, enhancing access to important peer reviewed research from across Europe. Most importantly it will find a financial model which is appropriate to scholarly humanities monographs, a publishing platform which is beneficial to all users and create a network of publishing partners across Europe and the rest of the world.
The partners:
Amsterdam University Press
Georg-August Universität Göttingen
Museum Tusculanum Press
Manchester University Press
Presses Universitaires de Lyon
Firenze University Press
University of Amsterdam
Leiden University
"The University authorizes professors to post copies of their articles on their own web sites or on University web sites, or in other not-for-a-fee venues."
